AYU FENNEL

"Just because I'm pretty......

Ayu skipped all her way to the training grounds.. Smiling and humming.. She's really in the mood now, since Kentoy took her at the amusement park to play.. Out of nowhere, the girl giggled while blushing.. She never felt so happy and contented..

"Good Morning!" Ayu chirped while looking on to her classmates.. Then glance over Abel.. "Good Morning Prof---- Oh my?!" she spotted her brother's hands bruised.. Ayu immediately head towards him and drag Abel towards the shade and force him to sit.. "What happened to your hands? why is it swollen?! I need to heal those.."

Ayu knelt beside him and close her eyes while concentrating her energy towards Abel's hands.. Soon as she's done.. Ayu felt a little dizzy.. She hasn't outgrown the fainting spells after using her healing powers.. "That injuries must be attended as soon as possible.." Ayu stood up but lost her balance.. Good thing her hand caught the trunk of the tree and leaned there..

....doesn't mean that I'm happy!"

Sethrian gave Kasie a pained look. "We do not make an intentional effort to be 'cute'--that is your own interpretation," he said. He glanced around, noting that at least Ayu had showed up. And Abel--he was mentioning something about practicing with swords, which was fine with Sethrian since it was something at which he was quite profficient.

He had noticed the man's hands were injured but really thought nothing of it since the man did teach a combat class. Such injuries were not uncommon. Ayu, of course, dragged him away from the group and healed him. Sethrian sighed. She always wasted her energy healing the most trivial things. He had no idea why she was so stubborn about using her abilities all the time. Especially when it was clearly still having a negative impact on her. Given that, based on that one time she'd slipped up, he assumed Abel was her brother, he chose to stay out of it. Perhaps Abel would scold her instead.

"I do agree that classes seem a little empty. Perhaps there is some sort of illness going around...?"

"Just fear me,
Love me,
Do as I say
and I will be your slave..."

Abel, being dragged by his sister and healed the very least, saw Ayu became weak upon casting her ability. He glared at her, "I told you not to use your ability on me! I've been reminding you not to do it because of----" He caught up on her soon as Ayu lost her balance.. "See? When will you ever learn.. you twerp!" Scolding isn't good if they were in class..

Then he assisted her to sit beside the tree.. "I forbid you to join the training.. You need to rest.. And we'll talk later once were through.. Understand?" he huffed.. It's been days since he last seen her.. Where did she---- nevermind.. I'll deal with her later..

Abel went to his class.. "Get your wooden swords at the storage room and go back here.."

"...Demon or not.. I will be yours forever.."

Sethrian stared at Kasie for a long moment trying to work out what she was babbling about. Veith and Markus and something...'nasty' and...blood and ropes? "I...can assure you I will never do anything with Renivere that requires blood, ropes and the stables," Sethrian finally said. "Though to be frank, I have no idea what you are on about. Though it doesn't surprisee me that Veith was involved in something weird. I suspect that he is quite hopeless--worse than Kamil, most likely."

He looked over as Ayu was scolded rather soundly by Professor Valentine, who then barked at them to get their wooden swords. Sethrian sighed and went to Ayu first, standing beside her silently for a moment before reaching down to muss her hair. "He's worried about you. Take better care of yourself and stop fretting small injuries. Save your strength for the times your power is more desperately needed." He smoothed her hair back down, before going to retrieve two wooden swords from the storage shed and returning to where the others were, testing their weight in his hands before practicing a few swings. It had been a while since he'd used two at once but it was something he would like to get back in the habit of doing.

Now was as good a time as any.

After their short lived training session, Sethrian put his swords away and returned to Ayu, who was sitting in the same spot, looking as despondant as she had before. He offered her his hand. "I'll take you to the student lounge for something to drink. Strawberry milk, perhaps?"

And perhaps Renivere would be there. Or, hell, even Veith. He was starting to worry about the guy--especially after Kasie's rather bizarre...confession. Or whatever that had been. At the very least, he figured it couldn't hurt to make sure Veith wasn't getting involved in something weird. He sighed and looked down at Ayu with a slight frown. "Cheer up. That expression doesn't suit you."

((just summarizing and getting them out of class))

Sethrian gave Ayu a look that was both exasperated and amused. "That would be most inconvenient as there are no cows at Rosentale to my knowledge," he replied. "However, there is a machine that sells strawberry milk, in the student lounge. I've never tried it myself but I know Reilynn is partial to it. It seemed like something you would enjoy as well."

"Come. I'll treat you to one."

He led Ayu off the training ground, shooting a look toward Abel. The man seemed to be in a particularly bad mood, though, Sethrian didn't know why he had to take it out on Ayu. she hadn't done anything to deserve being told off, then ignored by him.

The goblin remains and the princess will die,
the right road to Faerie, is the blink of an eye...




Angela had gotten up early and headed down to the training grounds. She was a little cautious approaching the area since she wasn't sure if Abel would be there or not, but fortunately he was no where in sight. Angela's hands were still bandaged and sore but she also didn't want to just lay around when she knew there were people out there trying to destroy the school.

Putting things together, she realized most of the events that had taken place--monster attacks and such--had to be their doing. And if that was the case, she really needed to shape up and prepare herself for more attacks. She needed to get used to using her magic again and making her attacks more effective. And she needed to just get stronger.

She was used to pain so she wasn't going to let her injured hands stop her from practicing. It had been a while since she had really, really trained though--since before she had come to Rosentale when she used to train with Etienne. It took a while to warm up but soon, she was beating the snot out of one of the practice dummies, ignoring that her hands were throbbing and there were tiny pinpricks of blood seeping to the top of the bandages again.

Every time she hit the dummy, she let out a small, controlled burst of electricity, trying to get the hang of not letting her magic just rampage when she tried access it. It was...kind of working. She accidentally exploded the dummy's "head" and shredded one of its arms. And her back was already in agony from her wings trying to push through. She could feel either blood or sweat trickling down but was trying to ignore it.

She succeeded for a while, but finally paused long enough to cling to the dummy for a few minutes and catch her breath. Maybe she should...rest for a while. Or maybe she should pretend the dummy had Abel's face and keep beating it to a pulp. Decisions, decisions.

Where charming old stories, in blood are expressed,
like tears of cream on a strawberry dress...
