The voice wasn't recognized at first. Indeed as Nilamani's head slowly raised to meet the source they at first didn't recognize the person either. Blinking in surprise Nilamani eyed the talking bundle of scarf with sleepy confusion. With a hint of amusement and concern realization dawned in...

There were a few students in the cafe even at this hour It was nearly time for the curfew. It was one of the few places students could scrounge a refreshment between the designated meal times of the dinning hall. One such unlucky student having slept through dinner was sipping a tea and groggily...

Aiko Lysander Docatto Valestri had managed to turn a simple question into an intense answer again. Nilamani was starting to expect such casual allotments of concerning revelations. Still They hoped Lysander wouldn't be collapsing any of the buildings on campus. They had opened their mouth to...

Their gaze remained distant for a while as if intently watching a grand horizon. Which of course was not present as the wall was only a few paces away and still quite blank. The cautious questions fell on seemingly deaf ears. Or perhaps worse heard but not understood in their unawake state. They...

Nilamani continued to walk in their dazed march without even glancing back. It wasn't until the boy had caught up to them that they seemed to acknowledge their slightly frantic Prescence. Their song trailed off as they turned to look at him with an unfocused gaze. "A fresh catch. The pearl is...

It was another moonlit night. Most of the halls bereft of the usual clatter of students steps or spells being fired in the next room. An hour when none but mice stirred about the campus. Even the mid-night oil burning serial cram students had turned in for the evening. In such a scarcely...

As Pomrick turned to leave with the tray Nilamani's eyes trailed along. They hadn't meant to have them fully act as some sort of waiter. It was amusing enough to make up for a lack of spilled tea. They were just about to head toward the little group with another tray when Udore caught their...

With their head tilted ever so slightly they listened intently as if trying to read between the lines. It wasn't necessarily an evasive answer but there was a hint of something that seemed like more than nerves. Nilamani wondered if they were simply a little ashamed of a late start...no that...

It wasn't a surprise to Nilamani that Pomrick Bloomsfield had agreed to assist so willingly. They had the demeaner of an agreeable sort. The surprise was that they seemed to take such an overly familiar gesture in stride. Such thing did mean a lot less among common folk. In a way finding out...

Nilamani seemed receptive to the varied responses. Intently listening with interest to Aiko confess she had come to paint. This was a valid reason indeed. There were plenty of students who made and revised star charts so a painting of the moon seemed no less relevant. In fact Nilamani welcomed...

Aiko was quick with the decorum. Nilamani watched her shallow bow with an amused smile. Her demeanor was certainly as reserved as Lysander Docatto Valestri but not nearly as dramatic. Perhaps she too was a noble in some regard. Nilamani only just barely kept track of the houses of Elbion let...

Lysander Docatto Valestri Pomrick Bloomsfield Aiko A tempered politeness entered Nilamani's smile in the short awkward silence. As with their other interactions the only thing they could really predict about his responses was the general air of haughtiness. They did wonder, if Lysander felt...

There was a visible upturn in Nilamani's mood as they caught the sight of an approaching figure. Their eyesight was still keen even in such low light conditions. Enough to recognize a familiar uncoordinated gait and mop of brown hair. Their smile widened into the expression of one finding a once...

(open to any Elbion college student or Maester as this is a sort of open house meeting.) The study of celestial bodies and movements of stars is integral to many forms of magic. It is precisely for this reason that the celestial observations and study committee (stargazer's club) has a long...

With a soft laugh Nilamani obliged in moving back. They sat just out of arm's reach resettling cross legged in the grass. They regarded Lysander Docatto Valestri 's disdain with more amusement. They wouldn't step over the line even if the joy of ruffled feathers tempted them. Having evoked quite...
