Good afternoon, Luceti. Looks like the village is bustling with energy again. My name is Gelda Nebilim and I'm one of the local teachers. If any of you New Feathers have a question about the school, feel free to ask me

Of course, Sheik. I live in house twenty-seven, so feel free to stop by whenever you like.

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

I'll look forward to seeing you, then.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

Oh? I didn't realize your collection had grown that much.

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

I hadn't realized either, until I tried to add some new works today. Can I interest you in a nice vase?

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

I wouldn't mind taking a look sometime. [She's usually more interested in ancient works, but it might be a nice decoration for her office.]

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

Excellent. I'll be sure to put some nice things aside for you. [If all else fails, Raine can use it as a birthday present for one of her friends.]

[In a silly, impulsive gesture, Regal has decided to take the opportunity of Gelda being out of the house for a bit to put those little animal statues she's made to good use. When Gelda returns, she'll find a few of them awaiting her inside the door, a couple of roses in the mouth of the foremost cat.]

[fonon_professor]

[When Gelda entered the house, she wasn't expecting to be stared at by a few clay animals. Certainly not with roses. That just goes to show there's always a new surprise lying in wait in Luceti. It's not that hard to figure out who's responsible for this welcome, though. A smile tugs at her lips and, after taking off her coat, she ventures further into the house to find out where Regal is hiding.]

[In fact, Regal is up in said crafts room, trying his hand at making a pot of his own... okay, so it's not the most beautiful attempt ever, but it's recognizable as a piece of pottery, and that's what matters. He'll be able to get it to look better once he gets a feel for the materials.

When she enters, he looks up with a smile.]

I thought I would try my hand at some artistic endeavors of my own.

[Action]

[fonon_professor]

So this is what you're up to while I'm out? [She steps towards him and sinks to her knees to get a closer look at the pot in his hands. Not bad for a first try; Regal may actually have a hidden talent for this. Of course, there's no telling how long he's been working on that particular pot.]

Well, it certainly has its charm.

[When Gelda comes knocking on House 1's door, it will be Nephry who answers.

She looks distracted.]

Oh, good afternoon, Professor. ...Please, come in out of the rain.

[action]

[fonon_professor]

Thank you, Nephry.

[She collapses her umbrella and shakes it off outside, before stepping into the hallway. Her coat is completely soaked, so she'll be unbuttoning that to hang it on the rack as soon as possible.]

[action]

[offallingsnow]

You're welcome.

[Here, let Nephry take her coat and hang it.]

This is a pleasant surprise.

[Action]

[fonon_professor]

[Well, all right. Gelda will carefully hand her the coat.] It's been a while since I last paid you a visit, I believe.

... Oh! Um.. there's school here as well? I-I mean, that's normal, but.. I hadn't really figured yet, I guess..

[ voice ]

[fonon_professor]

Yes, there is. It isn't mandatory, but if you're interested in spending some more time with children your own age and learning about various things, you can always consider attending. We'd be happy to have you.

[ voice ]

[happyends]

I think it sounds sort of nice to still be able to go to school here.. I wouldn't want to fall behind just because I'm stuck here. [ A giggle, although it's slightly awkwardly. ] And I'd like to learn about a lot of things as well, so.. I'll think about it.

[ voice ]

[fonon_professor]

Very good. May I ask what your name is?
