Yue pondered Aiko 's flowers and Atticus reading.
"Strong scents could be a sign of failure......." She half murmured in her musing "Would a Maester stoop to giving students an imperfect batch on purpose?"
She sipped a bit more of the tea with a frown. re-constructing an unknown was a truly...
It was lucky that Yue was well accustomed to all manner of 'roommate noises'. Most of the girls in the pagoda had been raised communally until they entered specialized training or apprenticeship. Yue's case that too had led to life in a temple which had only broadened her tolerance. Though she...
It was an early morning. No, it was still night. Only just. Yue slowly opened her eyes with a resigned expression as she was pulled from sleep.
She knew what had woken her without stirring from her bed. A whimpering wail broke the silence muttered pleas following incoherent in its wake.
Yue sat...
Yue sneezed and echoed Aiko's sigh.
Every time it seemed they were on the cusp of getting some resolution it unraveled another layer of this moldy onion.
She followed close behind her elven classmate. They might as well see how far this disgusting rabbit hole goes. Whatever next unlucky being...
Yue felt the building heat long before her mind had caught up to what was about to transpire.
She couldn't have known exactly what it was that Svenia was holding back. Yet the hurried desperate conversation between Aiko and the pained girl tipped Yue off. Whatever it was it wasn't going to be...
A swift palm dispatched the goblin that Aiko had helped delay. Now renewed in her focus Yue opted for a style of defense. She redirected blows and did her to ease her way back to the group. They were so close and yet the task was slow going to cross without leaving herself open.
It took some...
The pointed glare that Yue was giving the man did not lessen by this revelation. So it was some strange challenge that was meant to be a joke? She had found that Elbion as a whole had a more relaxed approach about student's studies....but this seemed even beyond the bound of lax standards. No...
Yue sat letting the tea warm her hands as she listened to the others discuss. They were certainly closer to the answer but not in a straight forward way.
The ingredients would suggest the potion harmful but Aiko's test inferred that perhaps that wasn't entirely the case. Perhaps the potion was...
Yue sat amongst the group and exchanged her own notes with the group. Her writing like most things about her was sharp. It was precise and slanted as if written in one decisive motion.
They had likewise divined some of the ingredients albeit only the ones which could be traced back to a living...
Following close behind Yue noticed much of the halls were poorly looked after. At least compared with the usual cleanly and well maintained college.
She appraised the slovenly man they ran into as if ready to pass judgement, should he be the thief. Her eyes narrowed as she took in his features...
Yue watched Aiko cast the protection charm. A very practical decision.
She pushed through to follow.
They both inspected the tapestry a bit closer. It seemed Aiko had no more idea what this place might be than she did. Yue inspected the hall with more scrutiny than before. It was easier to see...
She had slowly risen to her feet ready to continue fighting tooth and nail. The world had gone a bit blurry at the edges. Yue suspected it was only her boiling anger keeping her upright.
Then in a shimmering spectacle suddenly surrounded her. It's iridescent splendor causing chaos and confusion...
Yue watched the others inspect the potion as well. Her eyes following Aiko as she sniffed the vial and expressed disgust. While unpleasant it could be an important clue.....or it could be another attempt to through them off the trail.
"....It could be that a more pungent ingredient was thrown in...
Yue's brow furrowed as she inspected the newly uncovered entryway. She couldn't tell what to make of the tapestry beyond just yet. It's words legible but the meaning escaping her. She could tell they had stumbled on some secret gathering space. She wasn't so familiar with the college's...
They stalked out their only lead with diligence. But unfortunately found themselves with a dead end yet again. What to do? She made a small thoughtful noise in response.
Yue eyed the surroundings where the droplets had stopped with a keen eye. Then she quietly removed her hairpin. She closed one...
