It had been a curious span of weeks for Kallisto - Yambati had returned and disappeared again, though she was not sure of him and continued to nurse the quiet skepticism that refused to give way in her heart. She would be burned once, not twice. Still, she'd kept to her shop so as to be more easily found, and continued to visit Grave. The melancholy's nature always seemed to soothe her tumultuous moods when she sought him out.
Today, however, was a good day and free of any doubts or thoughts - those things were for rainy days not ones full of sunshine and warmth. The front door of her home had been opened wide, propped back with a pot of lily sprouts to let the gentle breeze in. A sign hung upon the wall next to the door declaring her presence and the specials of the day.
Inside, Auberon fussed with the displays, dusting and inspecting them with meticulous care. Occasionally there was a note stuck to the various sections of vials and jars that alerted the golem to low stock - stock she was to duplicate and upkeep while the new batches were cooking. As always, the abberations and Cecil meandered about the home and gave the entire place the feeling of life.
Beyond the golem, in the garden behind the house, Kallisto had curled up in her jerry-rigged hammock and was reviewing her own notes while comparing them to the recipes and comments of other alchemists. Smiling to herself as she shifted in the hammock to bathe her back (she was clad only in a bathing suit that covered minimal skin), she folded the page she was reading to mark for later, more involved scrutiny. Even now the kinesthetic had difficulty concentrating on books for very long - finding her impatience both a strength and a weakness.

 As a Page, Cyphr had certain benefits - such as (despite being a Zero) the freedom to enter the Colour Districts beyond the White District. This freedom was only to be used when performing a job for someone. Well, that miiiight be stretching it a tad, as no one other than Cyphr had commissioned him for this treck. But just to make it a little less dubious (in his humble opinion) he had had Phraine in borrowed voices command him to enter the Colour Districts and search out Kallisto. So, dutiful to his job, off Cyphr ran, pumped and excited about having a real live Kinesthetic teach him real actual Kinesthetic moves so he could do more than struggle with Nadyrr. Not that it hadn't worked, but...Cyphr had a sensation that he was on the tip of a very large ice berg, and he for one wanted to take the plunge!
He arrived at her door and stopped at the front threshold, finding the door open and the Familiars buzzing about at their daily tasks. "KAAAAALLLLIIIIIIIISTOOOO!!!" Cyphr hallooed at the door, not wanting to enter without permission. After all, his current commission might be a little falsified, but he was still a respectable Page, doncha know.

When Cyphr's voiced boomed through the relative peace of the afternoon, Auberon fairly jumped and spun, her posture defensive as she hid behind her arms. Far from being a combative creation, Luxury Lather much preferred gentle sounds and calm atmospheres - which Cyphr quite easily shattered with his energetic exuberance. Pausing for a moment when nothing came at her, Auberon turned and hurried to fetch her mistress.
It was not a necessary gesture however, as Kallisto had also jumped and scrambled from her hammock - adjusting her bikini top as she nearly collided with Auberon. Avoiding that, she rushed to the door and blinked down at Cyphr. Tilting her head, the sanguine offered a smile as she willed her heart rate back to normal, "Yes...?"

"HIYA!!" Cyphr greeted, standing there, grinning like a fool as for a moment he was blank on why he'd come. It was nice to see Kallisto, sure, but... Oh right!
"Kallisto, guess what! I had m'first DUEL. It was with Nadyrr, in the Arena...but it was kinda silly, and over a lot too quickly. You think, maybe, if you aren't busy...being...nood..." And he registered for the first time what she was dressed in. Cyphr had seen breasts before, quite nude, when working for Tullum, but it never really became less of a shock. "Uh...oh, I didn't...interrupt your...sexxings did I?" He asked both sheepish and appologetic at once.

Kallisto grinned at his declaration and clapped him on the shoulder, "Congratulations then, Cyphr~ Nadyrr was the first person I duelled as well. He was very shy then." She chuckled then trailed off into confused silence as Cyphr grew sheepish. "Sexxings...? Ah, no. I was sun bathi-oh!" She looked down at her and shook her head, "Noooo. Wasn't interrupted like that. I was sun bathing - hard to do that if you're all covered up right? The warmth on my skin is nice." A slight blush had risen to her cheeks, tinting them orange, though she smiled.
Arching a brow, she tilted her head curiously, "Now, what did you want? I'll probably have to change."

Cyphr grinned wryly, clearly relieved. "Oh, well, that's find then. Sun's good..." He scratched at his thick mess of hair and then recalled what he'd come for. "Oh yeh! I wanted to learn some real live kinesthetic moves from a real live kinesthetic!" He beamed with a heart-warming grin. "I talked to Grave and he recommended i play a game to study... and that was alright, I guess. i learned a few things... But reading or watching like that...i dunno, it doesn't seem like it's how it's supposed to be. I mean, how'd'you know if you're doing it right unless someone's seeing you and telling you so, eh? Eh?" Cyphr asked, postulating wildly with both chubby hands. "So...if you aren't busy, can you show me a thing or two, Kallisto?" It had actually not occurred to Cyphr that she might say no. He was just so tickled with the idea that he was raring to go, and probably would have if he had any idea where to start or what to do first.

"Real live kinesthetic moves?" Kallisto broke into a grin and shifted her weight to her other leg as she leaned against the door frame, putting on an air as if seriously considering the request. "Weeelll.... I think I might be able to help you out there. Come in Cyphr, grab a seat and I'll be back in a flash - need to change. You can look around, but be careful not to upset anything - if you blow yourself up, it's not my fault." Flashing a smile, the kinesthetic swept out of the room with a bounce in her step.

"YAAHHOOOO!!" Cyphr exploded, leaping up into the air with a body-flailing leap and pumped two fists up into the air. He was all a-beam and nearly vibrating when Kallisto said he could look around, but that jesting comment about him blowing himself up hit a little too close to home for the stout Kinesthetic and he sobered somewhat, quickly shoving both apt-to-fidget hands into his pockets and hunches his shoulders up in an effort to not touch a thing. "I'll jus' wait here, okies?" Cyphr responded, glancing around with a slightly apprehensive glance. He had remembered what it was Kallisto did for a living and he was tangibly afraid of exploding himself. It seemed like a mistake he'd be likely to make, unfortunately.
