    Fable - Ask Exornithics

    At the back of the classroom cracking open the door Nilamani peeked inside. As they feared the maester was already full force into the lecture. They hesitated clearly torn between entering and turning right back around. No, it was probably too late for that. They did their best to sneak in...

    Nilamani smiled kindly though concern creeped back onto their face. ".....well...perhaps for now we ought to go find someone to do something about that nose. Then maybe we can have a good think about what sort of things you like doing.....surely there's at least a club you could enjoy.....Maybe...

    Open Chronicles An Arrangement of Stardust

    Their smile grew slightly hesitant again as they considered Salak 's question. A bit a trap in it's breadth. As they quietly debated internally over what was too much, what was safe enough to be trivial, Lysander Docatto Valestri bought them some time with their declaration about diplomacy and...

    "well...." While Nilamani had warmed up slightly to this little cultural exchange, they still felt weary by the prospect of sharing. It wasn't as thought they hadn't spoken of it before. Salak wasn't the first to ask and surely they wouldn't be the last. Nilamani had gotten used to this line of...

    Nilamani nodded taking the change of subject easily. They could see Pomrick slowly drawing out of their shell a bit. It seemed they had best nurture it. "That's right, Just some little village called Insmouse, not far from the city. They have a dock there but it's not busy like the docks inside...

    Nilamani held back the urge to laugh. It was a very honest answer. It was certainly an answer without ambition or motive. They hesitated a little at a loss for how to respond. Nilamani had gotten to the head in the clouds academics, the dream chasers and the power seekers. Pomrick didn't fit...

    What the tall one had said was all too true. Nilamani was pleasantly surprised to hear such reasonable words and an affable tone. Just as those of them here from Elbion might have reason to fear, so too might the Anirians have their own anxieties. Nilamani imagined that their little stunt of...

    Nilamani watched as Pomrick slowly slumped into a defeated heap. Their carefully crafted nonchalance wavered. They listened to the muffled complaints with concerned frown. Hesitantly they reached over to give Pomrick an awkward few pats on the back. "If it's that awful you ought to get something...

    Their eyes watched Pomrick intently as he wavered on how to answer. When he did Nilamani offered a conflicted smile. "First of your family, hm?......" It wasn't so uncommon for a student to be the first in their line to attend. They half understood this pressure. However they had their own...

    So they weren't just different in appearance, they had a way of speaking that almost made it seem that might not live in the same reality. It was amusing enough watching Lysander Docatto Valestri 's face scrunch in frustration at this riddle like answer, that they didn't bother interjecting. It...

    Nilamani tilted their head watching Pomrick seemingly deflate. It was clear he was agonizing over something. Not everyone at the college was there enthusiastically. Some had desperate goals and others felt immense family pressure. They themself were a mild mix of both scenarios. It occurred to...

    Nilamani gave an amused if slightly taken aback laugh. "Bump Uglies....? If I didn't know better I would have said you sound like you've been hanging around the docks. " It was only a touch more reserved than the ways sailors spoke about it. They wouldn't have bothered to be accurate about the...

    Nilamani regarded Pomrick with a concerned expression. It was a very odd way of answering what they had meant as a casual question. A stiff recitation akin to someone spouting off a creed or some house motto. It almost made Nilamani feel sorry for having asked. "Indeed....sounds....very...

    Open Chronicles An Arrangement of Stardust

    Nilamani's eyes briefly turned to follow the Maester as they left. They supposed it made sense that perhaps the Maester was here more like a chaperone than a guest. There weren't any obvious signs of real tension that Nilamani had noticed so far but the night was young. Pomrick Bloomsfield 's...

    Their anxious heart was eased a little by Pomrick Bloomsfield 's whisper. It was a little reassuring to know they weren't the only one who had been a bit thrown off by this turn. Nilamani offered him an amused smile. Lysander Docatto Valestri 's proud stance was met with an uncertain frown. It...
