- "To have me on the opposing team would make quite a lot of people weep, I imagine." - He quipped, quite pleased at being gouged in such a manner. Girls' compliments on his physique, or athletic prowess, had always gone a long way to inflate his ego. - "Though," - He said, leaning his head...

His eyebrows rose over a playfully amused expression as he looked at his initiate comrade with a face that said: "I know, right?" He shook his head. - "Yeah, yeah. All of you love-stricken lot only say that because you've never met a Skender." - He took the bottle to his lips, and drained a...

- "No." - He replied to Rhidian's remark. The city had indeed not been this quiet then. Though locals still strolled through the streets, shopkeepers plied their businesses, and some customers even took the warm embrace of this sunny day to get some shopping done before re-entering their homes...

- "Mhmm." - He muttered absent-mindedly. He recalled the place. The two of them - him and Livia, that was - had planned to rob it before Quinnick's magics had led them to an even more conspicuous target instead, the first time he'd been to Tell Arran. In whichever case, the idea was good. The...

It was his turn to chuckle. - "Never apologize for being boring." - He said with a smile. - "I like to exercise and do math homework." - He shrugged. - "Some people would call that boring. You like what you like." - Reading though was pretty boring, but still, he'd invited the girl out for a...

- "Yes Ma'am." - He complied, as Zephyrine skipped past him and started to trek up the slope. The next ten minutes he'd spend in silence, as the two of them warmed up for the hardest part of the hike, which they both would know was soon to come. When Zeph at last ground her march to a halt...

- "And to the freedom we've picked up instead!" - He echoed, picking up yet another rum-filled bottle, and raising it in a toast. A loud cheer rose from the crew at the words of the two boys. - "So take a deep breath, men." - He restarted shortly afterwards, his words ringing eloquently, at...

Naspie the camel let out a bleat that almost made it seem as though the beast agreed with the other initiate. Ivan couldn't blame either, really. He had heard Rhidian's... attempt at speaking Kaliti, and suffice to say his respect for his comrade had not improved following that display. But...

He let out a hearty chuckle at Zephyrine's... misadventures at the Old Stones. - "I don't doubt that." - Indeed, he himself had brought girls aplenty there. No spirit had shown during his...  consumations, however. He then noticed her red cheeks, and, thinking them to be the product of...

A smile tugged at the corners of his lips. It was one of sly understanding. - "So you want power," - He said, taking his cup to his lips. - "and the freedom to use it." - As far as he was concerned, Ivan saw the two as complementary, rather than separate desires. What was power, after all, if...

- "Viret?" - He asked, still rather oblivious to the fact he had been - somehow - corralled into going on a mission - for free - last night. The realisation did not take long to hit him though, and yet again, a grimace flickered momentarily through his features. Now, how the fuck would he get...

- "I'm very distractive, I know." - The tone on his voice was so overtly smug, that Zephyrine would be able to feel the smirk that now adorned his face... A smirk that died down into a frown as she mentioned his loose grip. - "Careful now, Caddel." - He said playfully, as he walked towards the...

A reflecting stone was an old sleight-of-hand at the Academy, well-known to the most proficient of tricksters in the school. With the help of an illusion mage - of which there were a few - one could enchant a specific type of stone to project an uncannily similar reflection of oneself. A pretty...

- "Can you?" - He asked amusedly, as he saw the girl struggle for words. Though the blonde had been veering into drunkenness for some time, he couldn't have possibly failed to notice her furious blushing, nor the stammering that he himself had gone through so many times before, in front of girls...

- "Huh, impressive nonetheless." - He could understand why she'd done it; why Zephyrine had attempted to hide herself from others in the pre-Revolution Academy. She hadn't been the only one to try that, nor had she been the first: Back then, the Academy had very much been a world of natural...
