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

I'd like to see them. I can offer something in exchange, maybe.

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

Oh, I wouldn't ask for anything in return. Just knowing they're being sent to good homes, so to speak, is enough of a reward for me.

[Voice]

[no_use_running]

But it doesn't seem right, to just take it.

[Voice]

[fonon_professor]

You may consider it a gift.

I'd take a vase off your hands, if you don't mind. They'd look nice with some silk flowers.

[written]

[fonon_professor]

I'm afraid none of the vases are waterproof. If that's not a problem, I'd be happy to supply you with one.

[written]

[poorneedyand]

Which is a good thing, because I hate watering flowers.

I'm Kay Eaton, by the way - thanks for the vase.

[Gelda snickers for a moment before writing down her response. She'd introduce herself as well, but she already did so in the entry itself. It'd seem redudant to do it again.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Kay. And you are quite welcome. Are you new to Luceti?

[Dist is in his room in house one. He finally got away from Ion for a scant few minutes before the boy had to take a breather and rest for a while. Ion was still frail, after all. Even though he wanted to be the rambunctious and curious child he was, his body wouldn't allow it completely. At the least, the small checkup Dist gave the boy came up with no abnormalities, and he was logging what he found in a personal journal - one of his many notebooks for research and things of importance that coincided with that research - presently. His pen tapped on the paper during a brief pause for thought.

His door is open a sliver, but Dist is much too engrossed with his work to notice much of anything.]

[Once her conversation with Nephry has been rounded up, Gelda heads upstairs to seek out Dist. After being told about his behavior, it's high time she has a talk with him. Of course, she's strongly reminded of days long past, when her students were both still children. They were prone to stubborn behavior and arguments even then- especially Saphir. Some things never change.

The door may be open, but Gelda isn't one to trespass. She grabs the handle with one hand and knocks curtly with the other.]

[Action]

[its_rose_damnit]

Enter.

[The response is the usual - curt, but without much emotion, though he does frown somewhat at being bothered. Dist hated being interrupted when he was busy, and he wasn't all too aware that Gelda was even visiting. He assumed it as Nephry, or Ion, neither of which he was...overtly friendly toward at the moment.

It was just frustration, really - it was so much easier to walk away from an emotional problem. Others he could tackle head on. Dissect and break apart, then reassemble to fit his needs. Dealing with people, however...that was always a problem he couldn't solve well.]

[Gelda immediately takes notice of that cold, distant tone. It's just like Nephry said. In a way, she's not entirely certain if it's her place to talk to Dist about this, but Nephry agreed it would be for the best. If Dist insists on behaving like a child, he'll just have to be treated like one.

She enters the room in a calm pace, before closing the door behind herself with a snap. When she speaks, it's still in a pleasant tone.]

Saphir. Do you have a moment?
