I hope I'm doing this right: I saw your roommate ad and I was wondering if you still had an opening for one?

I am! I've been staying in an apartment but something a little more quiet would be preferred. And I'm running out of space for my plants.

[ Covens library is a source of much important information... as much as it is to magical experiments gone wrong. Still, this is where the students get to expand their knowledge, but whatever plans Cú had, it gets put away as he spots a familiar redhead on an upper floor.

Switfly, quietly he braves the stairs to join Yona and casually poke at her shoulder. ]


Yo, looking for something? [ He keeps his voice down at least ]
futhark: (garbage man)

Mischief. [ Cú repeats after her with a pretended offense, but his amusement is clear both in his eyes and on their link. The wound left by the lost Bond still hurts (everyone always warned about the pain of severance), but focusing on people present is how he deals with it. ] I am nothing else but noble and bold.

[ That comes with a bark of laughter. ]

I've noticed you've been attending Enchantment classes a lot. [ That's his topic of specialization, although they don't run into each other on every lecture— studying it for a year he's earned a spot in more advanced classes ] Looking for anything in particular?

[ There's an earnest curiosity in how he approaches this question. ]
futhark: (hood; pensive)

[ Their link thrummed with kindness, and so much of it coming from Yona and directed at him— that while enveloped in it, he was taken by surprise by actual, tactile expression of it. With a slow exhale he puts his arms around her, squeezing tightly.

Thank you

Oh yes, yes he needed that ]


Magic I was familiar with before used words as the base of its power. [ He relaxes the embrace just a bit, but not letting go just yet ] Enchantment allows for something similar. Anything can be enchanted, but there are certain things that work better.

[ Words. Written in the ancient language of Geardagas ]

[ It's okay, they're now glued to each other. Perfect. ]

Mhhm, if you're looking for books on the subject, I could suggest some options.

[ He takes a look at the bookshelf they're near and, with a small amused horror (that she definitely can feel, since they're so close) realizes he recognizes the titles of plenty of them.

What.the.hell. Cathbad would be super proud, but also super disturbed at the thought of everyone keeping their knowledge written down. He tears his attention away from the shelf to nuzzle the red mop under his chin. ]


Or show you some tricks— especially with runes [ is there an interest he senses?? ]
futhark: (impish)

[ Can't stop, won't stop ]

Nothing's wrong with them. They're just really not set in the order, and some might even assume you're familiar with older tomes they're based on.

[ Some of the academic structures still makes him want to hurl himself through the window, screaming. ]

Also if you're interested in specific types of enchantments, I might point you the right way... but I understand if you want a challenge of cracking the code on your own.

[ Then he will say not a word ]
futhark: (light)

[ Oh no, that turned out to be discouraging. Well, he was never really meant to be a teacher, but perhaps he can... channel Scathach a bit. ]

"Some people" have different backgrounds, and they might have a headstart in some of the areas, this true. But that doesn't limit or diminish your ability, nor your cleverness.

[ He takes a book, than another from the shelf. One dealing with the enchanting thing with written and drawing forms, focusing on how enchantment can be put anywhere your heart desires, and how to be creative with it (rather then on hard, studious rules regarding how long or narrow the line is), another one introduces a lot of complex concepts but is written for someone who goes into Enchantment from another School ]

I've seen your ideas. Novice or not, you're not only going in the right direction but also putting your own, personal spin on it. Do not doubt yourself just because you have only begun the journey
futhark: will credit when I find the sourceeee (70)

It means you're ambitious and curious, that is a good thing.

[ It is said with slightly amused tone but also adoration. Preserving against all odds is an admirable quality ]

But progress isn't a consistent straight line. Sometimes we feel like we're stuck, trying different approaches and nothing seemingly works— but that can be the time when we make the biggest of progress and learn the most.

[ Even though these are not easy lessons. He clears his throat, giving lectures is not his specialty after all. Even though it is part of being a guide—

So he flicks Yona's forehead ]
futhark: (waiter; grin)

A simple reminder of how much in life is entirely unpredictable, you might now where the road leads to but not what awaits you along the given path. [ The theatrical tones he adapts makes it impossible to take seriously as he has her few more books ]

Or I just wanted to see what kind of face you will make.

[ Now he knows! ]

Sure. And I could help if you need some assistance, I'm good with chores and outdoor work.
futhark: (resting face)

[personal profile] futhark 2020-07-31 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You know what, score, that's a score he figures ]

I can relate to that. [ Getting caught up in the goals, getting too caught up in the goals. ] There's nothing really wrong with that, either.

[ Someone could said that probably is. But he isn't that person if anything he admires dedication and perseverance ]

It's just like with running— if you continue to run for a long time, you have to pace yourself, so you conserve your strength for the harder parts.

Right, a princess. Caster snickers at that face and rolls his shoulders

It's a good morning exercise for some. [ Those "modern days" at least relatively to him ] A life-saving skills for others.

[ And then there is that ]

Me, I wasn't allowed near horses and my mother's chariot until I was of a certain age. Had to run everywhere, and that grew into a habit.
