Calixtus tilted his head, her words rolling off him as though they were nothing more than a mild breeze. His smirk, however, only grew sharper. “Friends?” he echoed, voice dripping with mock amusement. “How quaint I would have to be to cling to such schoolyard comforts. No, Bliss I don’t...

Calixtus chuckled low in his throat, her quip only deepening the smirk on his lips. Parry and riposte. “Ah, so there is a tongue behind those wards. Careful, you’ll convince me you actually enjoy my company.” His arm shifted just slightly beneath hers, subtle, tightening the hold so it...

Bliss He adored the expression on her face. Every single time he got under her skin it made him happy. He showed it, too. “It seems even fate conspires to leave you in my company. How fortunate. Though for me or you or both... I just don't know.” He offered his arm as though it were the...

Calixtus stepped into the gilded hall with an easy grace, the golden dusk illuminating his pale features. He wore a dark, impeccably tailored ensemble. It was subtle but unmistakably noble. His bearing that of someone both accustomed to admiration. He had been to Vel Anir. His wealthy family...

The corner of Calixtus’s mouth twitched, his smirk sharpening into something predatory as her words washed over him. Handsome and talented. Yes, that was the language he preferred. And hearing it from her felt like victory. In hindsight, she would consider using such a tactic against a student...

Calixtus raised a brow, lips curving into that familiar smirk as though the very idea amused him. She had to throw out a little barb of her own. He didn't want to let that go, but he new there was a real chance of his bravado crashing down. “Hold it?” he echoed, his tone a mockery of...

For once, Calixtus did not answer right away. His pale eyes tracked the shimmer of her ward, the way it bent the air and whipped her hair about her face. He almost looked impressed—almost—but the smirk on his lips betrayed him too soon. “Well,” he drawled at last, tone deceptively mild, “it...

Calixtus stilled, her words ringing out between them like a gauntlet thrown. For a heartbeat, silence stretched. Then, slowly, he began to laugh. It was a quiet “Disappointment?” he repeated, tasting the word as though it were a sweet he could roll on his tongue. His eyes narrowed, sharp with...

Calixtus let his hand fall to his side, flexing his fingers as though dismissing the fragile glow like it had never cost him effort in the first place. His smirk widened at Bliss’s words, the faintest gleam of amusement flashing in his eyes. “Once a week?” he echoed, tilting his head, tone...

Calixtus closed his eyes briefly, the echo of Bliss’s touch lingering like the ghost of a memory across his palm. He swallowed before opening his eyes, a spark of unease mingled with determination settling in his gaze. “Patience,” he murmured, voice low. It was more to himself than to Bliss...

"But of course," he said smartly. His arrogance was not quite matched by his ability. Calixtus hadn't risen to the top of the applicants through his magical talents. He had presented himself well and written clearly about himself and his intentions for study. The letter had been accompanied...

Calixtus had charged forwards, expecting to throw his rock at a goblin. Instead he had to get up close and personal. He hesitated. The goblin started to wriggle free of the clothing. Calixtus was furious with himself. It was a pitiful creature and he should have easily dispatched it. He'd...

Calixtus looked down at them both. Now, he thought, would be the perfect time to make a run for it. He didn't care for these people. There was barely a drop of strong human blood between them. He started to turn away. The sound of the skirmish made him pause. Perhaps it would be better to...

Aiko had the stone. If it was sharp enough then that was some progress. Unfortunately it wasn't in his hands. It was in the hands of an elf. He glared at Yue, but the goblins all rushed towards her. Calixtus would show no remorse for making the false accusation. "The ropes!" he hissed at...

Yeah it was definitely a struggle.
