 Lyrica tilted her head to side curiously. "Apples? yes, i like apples." she said, smiling back happily. this boy was intriguing. she was curious about him, and his sudden question made her even more so. her ears flipped happily. "Is there a reason you ask?" she said. she listened to him talk. "A saying? well, what did they say then?" she asked. Lyrica thought for a moment. ah, my village had sayings too, but none of them seem all that important or anything...... she thought, wondering what he had to share with her. (it's fine smile )

 Zephyrium entered the large room, his nametag revealing his status as a Meister of the academy. He was excited to finally find a weapon partner, but you couldn't tell from his expression, if you could even see his expression behind his book. He walked silently, observing others with sideways glances over the edges of the large tome in his hands. Looks like I'm going to have to get to talking to people. But who... He closed the book, taking care to mark the page in both memory and with a playing card, and started to scan the room, looking for "Weapon" nametags.
He stopped, sighing, and sat down in a chair. This may take a bit longer than I thought...

Sabine Ansel -- Weapon -- Partner: N/A
It was about time to get a partner, Sabine had decided one day. Enough was enough, she was wasting time not training.
So she swallowed her homesickness and her nervousness about meeting nobody and wasting the trip, and joined the Gathering.
The room was much more empty than she'd thought. There were a few people milling about and talking, but nobody with the nametag she was looking for. Sabine frowned, glancing around again. There, sitting in a chair, was a young man with a Meister nametag and a book in his lap. The girl looked at him, studying his features until she realized that he could probably see her staring, and that she looked a bit strange standing in the doorway. Her face reddened and she took hesitant steps towards him. 'I can always come back tomorrow if he doesn't want me,' Sabine told herself.
"Excuse me," she began, "but you're, um, a Meister, right?"

Zephyrium saw the young woman standing in the doorway, her eyes fixed on him, staring and taking him in. He would have felt nervous, if he hadn't noticed her looking nervous enough for both ofthem. As she approached, he closed his book and smiled, trying to ease her nerves a bit. If he was going to have a conversation, he would rather it be pleasant for everyone involved. Then, he noticed her name tag, and a pang of joy washed over him. He was being approached by a weapon, and she seemed fixed on speaking with him. He got the strange feeling his life was going to get a lot easier from now on.
As she spoke up, he collected himself from his moment of elation, and decided t orespond as he thought a mature man might, in this situation.
"Well, yes, yes I am. My name is Zephyrium, but you can call me Zephy if you like."He grabbed the back of one of the chairs near him, and pulled it out and turned it to face him. Would you like to sit down?" He asked, smiling at her again. He loved not having to work to make new friends. It meant he could relax, and study them.

 Violet entered the room wearing a nametag saying that she was a weapon."Wow~." Violet said as she saw how many people there was,but sadly she did'nt see any with a Meister name tag on them,and then she saw a girl going towards a boy that had a Meister nametag. 'Oh well,I could find someone else.Hm,maybe I could just wait around and watch.' She thought to herself,and then noticed for the first time that the boy had a book. Violet looked around again and still saw no name tag that read Meister.Violet went over to them,siting in a chair a two seats away from them.She crossed her legs,put one elbow on her legs,and her hand under her head.She was just going to wait in-till she saw someone with it,not counting the boy of course,for he was being asked already.

Sabine Ansel -- Weapon -- Partner: N/A
Sabine returned his smile a little bit late, but she was happy that he seemed receptive to her company. Considering the type of people at the Academy she really should have expected it, though - it didn't seem like there were many rude people here. Her smile grew with the young man's "Well, yes, yes I am."
"l'm Sabine, it's nice to meet you." she replied. Before she could stand awkwardly for more than a second, a chair was presented to her. "Oh! Thank you." Smiling again, she arranged her skirts before sitting down across from Zephy.
His easygoing smile was just the thing to make her feel at home, and hers continued. At this rate, Sabine was thinking that her face would freeze that way, a fate she wouldn't mind too much. Her eyes lit on his book, and she leaned in, trying to make out the title. "Oh, Zephy, um, what are you reading?"

 He noticed her gaze on his book before she even asked her question, making her all the more interesting to him. "It's a study on Weapons, and their role in resonance between multiple Meisters. If you're interested, I could loan it to you when I finish it, which should be soon. Of course, if you are interested, you may just want to see my collection. Oh, look at me, getting ahead of myself as always..." He paused for a moment, and then smiled again, looking her in the eyes. "So, what kind of weapon are you? You don't come off as the normal, boring type to me."

Sabine Ansel -- Weapon -- Partner: N/A
Sabine thought for a moment, digesting Zephy's words. It had been a while since she'd read actual scholarly texts, and they always seemed boring, but this might actually be useful. "Maybe, that might be nice," she said with a smile. Not that she planned on having more than one Meister, but still.
As he continued to talk, she continued to listen. "Sure, I'd like to see it," Sabine replied, glossing over the fact that she wasn't a big reader. She could slog through a few chapters if it'd help her in the long one. "And it's okay, I don't mind..." Listening to other people talk had always been fine with her.
Sabine gave a little giggle. "Well, nothing fancy," she replied, looking down. "Um...well, here, let me show you." Moving her arm so that it pointed at open space, she changed it into an equivalent length of almost-white wood, approximately 2.5 inches in diameter. At the end was a shiny metal cap. She smiled nervously - she knew that her weapon form wasn't nearly as flashy as some others. "Just a quarterstaff."

Zephyrium could not believe his luck. Not only did she seem like a pleasant girl, she enjoyed his more scholarly vices, and was a quarterstaff, one of the weapons he actually had training in. Today must be my lucky day...
"You seem like a fine weapon to me. Would you mind if I...?" He reached a hand out, gesturing towards her arm that had transformed into the end of a staff. Her simplicity was wonderful, nothing flashy, or overbearing. It appealed to his sense of style, he loved it.

Sabine Ansel -- Weapon -- Partner: N/A
She looked at him uncomprehendingly for a moment before realizing that he liked her weapon form. Sabine had always thought of it as a little boring, but it was nice that he liked it. Maybe he'd used a quarterstaff before or something. She hoped so, otherwise he wouldn't have any idea what to do.. "Um, sure," she said, not entirely sure what Zephy wanted in the first place. To feel the wood? For her to properly transform? All of a sudden, Sabine felt lost.
"Wait, what...? Do you want me to transform completely, or...what?" Once again, she looked at him, this time for clarification. "I'm sorry... just, um, I don't know what you want..." Her eyes moved downward.

He reached a hand out, stroking the wood gently. It felt firm, strong to his touch. He felt his smile getting big. This could be my weapon...I wonder what the full staff feels like...
"Would you transform fully for me? I think that..." His voice caught in his throat. "Weshouldbeweaponpartners!" He blurted it out so fast, even he could barely understand it. He had let his sheer excitement get the better of him, again. "I think...I think we should be partners. What do you say?" He extended his hand again.

Sabine Ansel -- Weapon -- Partner: Zephyrium Noir
Bina smiled nervously as he stroked what used to be her arm. It didn't feel bad - if anything, it was actually rather pleasant. She responded as soon as he made his request. "Sure, just...hold on a bit tight, I'm a bit...heavy," she said, biting her lip as she prepared to transform. Then he said something very quickly. Sabine opened her mouth to respond again, but before she could say anything, he restated his words. "What do you say?"
He seemed so excited about it that Sabine could have hardly turned him down even if she'd wanted to. But she didn't think she would mind being his partner, and extended her non-transformed arm to meet Zephy's. "Okay," she said with a smile. Of all the Meisters she could have had, Zephy seemed like a great choice.
Then she realized that she still needed to transform. "Um, anyway, yeah, please don't drop me," Sabine stated, attempting to make a small joke. Then, biting her lip, she briefly glowed a bright cyan; it flashed for less than half a second, and when it disappeared, she was a six-foot-long quarterstaff.

He saw how nervous she was, and chuckled at her request for him to hold on tight. He knew he should tell her he was trained in the art of this sort of weaponry, but he decided a surprise would be best. It wasn't often he got to impress a girl, so he thought this might be a good opportunity to do so.
At hearing her words, he couldn't help but squeal a little. He was ecstatic, elated even. He felt a rush, the blood coursing through his veins faster than he had known it to ever before. So, this was what adrenaline felt like...It was nice. It was more than that, but he couldn't really describe it.
"Heh...Don't worry, I got ya." He stated, grinning at her.
As she transformed, his eyes widened. In just a moment, he would be holding a true weapon for the first time. As he felt her weight in his hands, in her full weapon form, he smiled again, gripping the staff in both hands. She felt light to his trained arms, and he decided to show her what he had meant to tell her before.
He decided on a flurry, a combination of moves to show off one's prowess. A wide swing down first, then he thrust her into the air behind him, spun her in one hand, then drew her over his shoulder. He let her slide down his torso, his hands guiding her length the whole time, and he pulled her outwards in front of him. He twirled her in a circle, bringing her behind his back, in front of him again, then behind him and over his shoulders, posing himself with his feet in a line and pointed the same direction, to his right, and his head turned the same way, and he let her slide that direction, into one of his hands, and then finally to rest on the ground. He smiled, and held her in both hands.
"Very nice! You can transform back, if you would like to."

Taking notice ofthe other girl in the room, Zephyrium tured to her. She seemed to have enjoyed his display, and he felt rather proud of himself. He stopped to smile at her for a second.
"Thanks. I have years of training, and she's a fine weapon indeed." He considered continuing the conversation for a moment. "And your name would be?"
