Re: Elynsor's Royal Magic Academy (Kat) GMed by Takimaru
“Only 60 Gold if I take the flyers? *Sigh* It's THAT obvious I'm bad at this haggling thing thing, isn't it? Oh well, since you were nice enough to make the honest offer, I can't exactly refuse. 60 gold sounds fine, you've been a big help, really, thank you!”
Kurui counted out the 60 gold to pay and took some of flyers for the shop to fold up and put away. She wasn't sure who she would actually give them to since she wasn't exactly the most social or popular, or if the Academy would like her putting them up anywhere on the grounds. They would probably just end up forgotten somewhere until months later when she cleaned out the room again... but she didn't mention this much. She would at least make an effort to find something to do with them for now.
From the selection of pens presented, Kurui tried to pick the one that looked as basic as possible. Some of them were quite fancy looking, with fake gold finishes and stuff, but something like that would stick out too much. While Kurui wasn't as good with money and Rythe, and had nowhere near the grasp of what things should cost as the brunette did, she was at least known not to be *completely* wasteful with her money. While she overpaid for what she did buy sometimes, the stuff she did have showed a value of function over form, and she didn't often buy a whole lot without a practical use. The pen she selected reflected the same tastes, It was metallic, looking like it was maybe meant to look like silver or something, although she knew that not to be the case. Other than this, it wasn't exactly flashy or ornamented. Picking it up she tried to feel for the touch of magic of magic in it, and eventually found it, although it was very faint and hard to detect through the metal. “Perfect, it might spike up a little when I'm using it... but Black shouldn't be able to notice it without specifically looking for something. This might even be better than what I was going to do with the Siffulum. As much as Black might have been pleased to see me practicing with something like that... it could have also backfired. The books say using them too much builds a reliance and makes it hard to learn the basics of new stuff. I guess there's a reason the Academy doesn't teach us with focus crystals to begin with... gotta know how to ride the horse before driving the carriage and all that stuff.”
She took her order and started putting it away as the shopkeeper turned his attention to Rythe.
Kurui overheard some of what the shopkeeper was saying to the lightning major and laughed a little. “Heh, maybe you should get some of that perfume. I haven't ever seen this boyfriend of yours... maybe you're not really into guys, huh?” she would giggle a bit more if this got any kind of reaction, but then quickly apologize.
“Sorry, I'm just joking. This time of year all the potion shops have brews that supposedly do the same thing and they never work, so it's easy to laugh about... Although even if this work, something airborne like that might get you attention you never wanted. Annyway, lets head back now, I still have to see who my mystery stalker was today.”
If Rythe had no further objections, the pair would leave the shop and head back to the Academy, although not before Kurui uses the memory crystal she bought to get a quick glance of the items she bought, the shop, and the time of day. Kurui had no other particular stops in the city for the rest of the day after this, and was content to just debate the big pressing matter of the moment with Rythe.
“I don't think I have much to worry about if I wait until class tomorrow. He's pretty open about what happened and is going to happen... almost creepily so. I can't tell if he's bragging about it because he's untouchable right now... or if it's actually meant to help me learn like he claims. He actually DID teach me something this morning, believe it or not.
Anyway... using it tonight... I'm not sure how smart THAT would be. If the things he said really were meant to teach me... well I'm not sure the invitation he gave me tonight was meant for “education”. I don't think I would try to find anything there anyway... getting him mad there... away from the academy... well I agreed I wouldn't take any stupid risks, right? I'll go ahead and find you early tomorrow morning though. Go enjoy you night... but keep our secret, alright?”
Kurui would part ways with Rythe when they got back to the academy grounds. For the moment she kept the things she had bought to herself. She had no intention of her or anyone else using them tonight, and when she got back to her room she just tossed them in a drawer near her bed. Neither of the items was particularly “dangerous” to have right now and she had no reason to hide them while they were “blank.”
“I should probably get dressed in something nicer than my uniform before I go meet whoever this is. I do have a few of my nice clothes from Veltria here... but on the other hand... I don't even know this creeper yet... it might send the wrong message. It's not like I would even enjoy looking nice right now. I can't be happy right now, I'm just be going through the motions to satisfy my curiosity and NOT come off as a total bitch... but I won't be happy... no, not until this whole thing with Black is over.”
She spent a few minutes making sure her hair looked OK and everything, but didn't do anything special beyond that before heading out.
“It's a bit early... but being early shouldn't hurt. *sigh* This whole thing must be driving me crazy... going to meet somebody I don't even know over some creepy letter. This practically drips of "bad idea" and I really should have brought Rythe with me... but luck can't hate me THAT much, can it? Even if it does, it's better I don't bring anyone else down with me... again. Tomorrow will be two days since I left everyone else. They can't stay hidden forever... and even if they get caught, whatever they're mining down there wont last forever either.
...
Damnit Kurui... stop thinking like this! Don't be a crying wreck in front of whoever this is... it MIGHT not be someone you hate. They MIGHT not deserve me being totally bitter to them over this... after all it won't be their fault. I need to at least hold it together long enough to meet them really quick. After everything that's happened, even with just what everyone else knows, I should be able to use it as an excuse to leave soon afterwards if I want. They'll understand that I'm not feeling so great after almost being buried alive... I hope.

*sigh* Who am I kidding? Boys are idiots...”
