Sage blinks, closing his third eye and nodding a bit. He seems solemn for a moment, then looks over to reeve, trying to lock gazes and infect him with a good mood smile, " Then be happy for her, for death is but the beginning of the adventure. You'll see her again soon enough. But in the mean time, don't waste your life, hmm?"

Reeve shakes his head and closes his eyes, but the force of the emotion he's feeling forces his eyes to glow green, anyway.
"She's not dead, Sage...just...gone. My son is dead...but she's just gone. She doesn't even remember me. I've looked her in the eyes and she doesn't know me..."

Sage blinks a bit, then scratches his cheek as he speaks, " well that just puts a damper on things now doesn't it? Well, in that case, remember the good times you had, and keep those in your heart. As long as you have the memories, she will never be gone. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't move on. Instead, keep her memories with you, reflect on them with peace, even as you move on to a new relationship. In this way, you may find yourself without the anger you are burdened with now. In any case, how about we talk of something else..."

Reeve nods, throwing a ball of the energy into the air, then chasing it with a bolt. The ball explodes in a porta-nova of violent green lightning while in midair.
"Right...so, what's your opinion of Miss Yuki, anyway?"

Sage ponders a bit, " She's a fun one...probably quirky from being 300 summat. However, I'm quite positive she's just here because of all the fun people to be around, to tease, and to interact with. Now..I have a question...would you mind helping me train my mental arts? They have a penchant for attracting the spirits of the dead..."

" I feel like a mouse around her. Anyway, I'd be happy to help, if I knew how. Most of my skills are instinctive. I've never been mentally strong- like, in telepathic sense."

Once her hair and body are clean, Irianna begins the difficult task of cleaning her wings. The woman's wings don't attract mites, fleas, or other avian parasites. They do, however, collect perspiration. Cleaning the feathers and the skin beneath takes much soap, water, and finger combing. Doesn't help that the woman's wings are large compared to her body in order to be strong enough to get her into the air and keep her there.
Resigned to the length of time she will be spending in the bath, Irianna spreads her wings and brings them forward. She coats her hands in soap and practically attacks the feathers. As she cleans she thinks to herself, Sometimes I wish I hadn't left home. At least I had sisters to help me scrub these feathers when I still lived with my family.

Sage shakes his head a bit, " no...I need you to test the durability of a technique I'm trying to master. I will be forming a temporary construct from ectoplasm...and I need you to attack it. It will of course be under my control, and attack you as best it can. If things get too out of hand, I will cease the battle. After all, practice is practice...not something to die over."

Reeve smiles in anticipation.
"Oh, I can attack stuff alright... Ready when you are!"

Sage nods, and moves over to sit atop the monument. He sits in a cross legged position, and locks his fingers into what would appear to be a handseal. Those that know ninjutsu would think it's either an obscure seal, or realize that it is in fact, not a handseal. As he sits there, A cloud of ectoplasm forms around his forehead. This cloud floats in the middle of the air for a few moments, then flies towards the ground and forms into a strange humanoid shape. The figure has three arms, two legs, and a head with a horn atop it. It's hands have three fingers each, shaped with slight claws. It's feet have two claw like 'toes' and a third claw like attachment at the heel. The third arm of the construct is placed in the middle of the back, and the construct itself stands at 5'10. After forming, Sage's hands whip out, and thin strands of ectoplasm attach from the tips of his fingers, to various parts around the construct.
Sage then speaks, " I am ready"
As he speaks, the Astral Construct moves into a basic fighting stance.

Reeve nods, and giving no warning whatsover, rushes at the thing, unsheathing and slashing with his sword in the same movement.
"Hyah!"

As Reeve attacks, his sword bites into Sage's construct. As the sword begins to cut through the constructs ectoplasm body, the two side arms come down along with the horn atop the head in a counter attack against Reeve. If he finishes the sword attack, the construct will be cleaved in two.

Reeve seems to abandon his attack, leaving the sword half-cleaved into the construct. He rolls backward and hopefully out of the way of danger, flicking out a chain attatched to his wrist. The chain coils around the sword's handle, and Reeve runs in a circle around it, using the tension to pull the blade home.
"Nnggh..."

As Reeve's chain flickers out, Sage's fingers flick a bit. The strands of ectoplasm cause the construct to first grab the chain with it's right arm. Then, as Reeve circles around, It catches more length of the chain with it's left arm, turning slightly as he circles. As the movement continues, the Construct takes a final part of the chain into it's third arm, Between the three arms, the chain is kept from pulling the blade home. Further, the Construct moves to spin counter to Reeve's running, attempting to hurl him using his own chain.
As the movement happens, the lines of ectoplasm leading into the construct move to acommodate it's current position. They do not wind around the construct, but rather keep a set distance from 'astral flesh' to finger tip.

Reeve whirls into the air, flung by the force of the construct's spinning. Releasing the chain, he flings toward the Academy door. Instead of hitting it with a solid thump, Reeve makes a slight 'tak' sound as his feet find purchase on the wooden door. He springs forward with his legs, causing him to bounce back toward the thing. Mid-flight, he draws two kunai, aiming to bury them at collarbone level, each side of the thing's 'neck'.
