Resolve Affirmed [ dictated ]

[peacockherald]

Well... that was a rather interesting experience. I have to admit, it was rather fun, even with the dragon there at the end. I had never imagined such things could be real, but then, this is Paradisa, after all, and even in my own world Gryphons were once real, simply extinct now. 

Ah, but that is not why I am addressing you all.

Before we are swept up in another maelstrom of shifts, I thought I might finally get the finishing touches done on the salle I have mentioned a few times. It's made progress and thankfully this time is still intact after the shift. But I need some help putting on the final bits of roofing and the mirror. Preferably I would like someone with magic for this last bit, but anyone who has building skills I would welcome just as much. I have magic of my own, but it is not as... delicate as I would like to to be for placing this sort of thing in.

Who would have thought trying to get a simple building built would take this long?

Also, I intend to make the salle open to all who want to train there, by the by, and I am willing to provide rapier lessons for those who would like them once the building is finished. We often have a need to defend ourselves here, after all, so I will gladly help those that wish to learn to do so.

And a mage, like myself, as I said. He will make a good edition - as flirtatious as any of us.

[lord_wizard]

I didn't know that was among our desirable traits [Though he seems amused at the comment]

It's more...the fact that people -important people - from our own worlds are coming out of the woodwork lately.

[peacockherald]

Perhaps not 'desirable', but it certainly seems a good qualifier to fit in does it not?

And yes, I... have thought of that too. But I am not going to question it. Not this.

_{[ If Tylendel left... gods could he suffer that ache again? Could he make himself get up? He almost hadn't the last time, and even then it had only been because he had more or less been smacked so hard he woken up out of his own dark dreams. ]}

[lord_wizard]

There's little good questioning the castle can bring, I've found...

When you said you were lifebonded...what does that mean, exactly?

[peacockherald]

_{[ He thought for a moment on how to explain. ]}

The easiest way, I think, is that it is like finding the half the makes you whole. Tylendel is a part of me, my heart and my soul. I know that sounds terribly cliche, but it is the truth. I can look at no one else with desire, or ever feel lonely, because he is there.

[lord_wizard]

We should all be so lucky

[And there's the accompanying guilt that he isn't, despite the fact that there are two people here whom he loves more than anything, which is perhaps exactly the problem, but it's never been limited to just them, either. He wonders, vaguely, why he needs so much]

[peacockherald]

I wish more people were so lucky. It is rare in my world, and I never expected it when it happened. Most people don't even know what it is unless someone else points it out.

[lord_wizard]

So even if you are you would not necessarily know?

[peacockherald]

I suppose that depends. When it happened, I wasn't. Savil had to point it out to both myself and Tylendel.

[lord_wizard]

A friend of yours?

[peacockherald]

Yes, and also my aunt and one of my Mage teachers. She is a Herald Mage back in my world, though she is... aging.

_{[ Magic was not easy on the body, especially node magic, which is Aunt could use. Not to mention so few of them yet surviving... the weight was becoming clear. ]}

She taught Tylendel too, before my own powers awoke.

[lord_wizard]

People do.

So you are both of the same discipline?

[peacockherald]

Tylendel and I? Technically, yes, though I have a wider array of Gifts than he does. He is strictly Mage and Gate as far as I knew. I have quite a few more.

[lord_wizard]

I see. Well, if he's willing to join, he is more than welcome. Chimera isn't everyone's cup of tea.

[peacockherald]

I agree, it is not, but I think he will do nicely. I shall introduce him at our next meeting, I think, since Howl keeps the odd hours.
