Re: Elynsor's Royal Magic Academy (Kat) GMed by Takimaru
Black's sudden change of tone into something almost apologetic came as a surprise to Kurui as she leaned on him, however she still wanted to tell him to take his advice and choke on it right now. She held herself back though, more out of knowing it was smart than because she was scared. Having actually expected the shocks had diminished a lot of the fear... although the same couldn't be said for how painful they had been. It hadn't been all bad though, this reaction showed Kurui that Black knew he had gone overboard and at least slightly regretted it. The fact that he could see as much and stopped meant he at least wasn't going to kill her at the drop of a pin. Also, despite his talk about high standards, Kurui had succeeded in showing Black there was some limit to what she could tolerate right now, after all she was still just 19 and “potential” or not she was nowhere near his level or experience with any of this, and he appeared to make a begrudging peace with that for the moment. The panacea he gave her afterwards seemed to reaffirm all this.
Although the numbness of the shocks was wearing off on its own, the panacea sped up the process considerably. It was something of a notable gesture. Potions, or at least the ones with healing effects, were something of a rarity in Elynsor. The ingredients known to Elynsor alchemists to make the most potent brews only grew in small area's with specific climates. While they were affordable enough that most students the RMA had a few of their own small potions for days of heavy magic-duel practices and stuff, they were not something to be used lightly or commonly, to the point where the Elynsor military didn't even issue them to regular soldiers. Even for someone like Black who probably had the money for such things, demand meant they were sometimes still hard to get on a moment's notice depending on the time of year and stuff. A lot of the time it was cheaper and easier just to see a church healer. The Academy itself even had an infirmary with a few nuns from the church acting as healers. Although for the questions it would have raised to see them right now, Black's panacea had obviously been a better choice and Kurui wasn't about to complain about the free aid.
Kurui wouldn't make any attempts to leave the room after this, even at Black's order to clean herself up. Begrudingly she would trust Black to play “fair” and that meant she herself would have to as well. It didn't matter much anyway, Black's shocks hadn't been meant to kill and hadn't left any actual burn marks either on her or her uniform. There were very little physical signs anything had happened, despite how “intense” it had been. If anything, the only outward signs were her frizzed hair and where she had bit her lip. The second one wasn't all that suspicious, and the first one was something she could fix right now just by running a misty water gate through her hair a few times until it looked good again. To make matters even better, Black's words at the end about just needing a few minutes to retrieve his item implied he wouldn't keep her a whole extra hour today. “...maybe thats just wishful thinking on my part. Even if he doesn't “use” this thing on me today... sitting here all class with it is going to awkward enough. I STILL don't think this is meant to be teaching me anything... but enjoy it while you can, Bastard. Slip up once and we'll see how long my “obedience” lasts. In fact all those shocks you gave me an idea if you do “cheat.” on our deal. I'm not good with lightning magic, but I'm pretty sure I can shock myself hard enough to pass out before I lose it to your little toy... if you dare to try it. You won't like it, but you couldn't just leave me there like that in front of everyone. There will be too many eyes on you for you to NOT get me to the infirmary.”
Soon after others would arrive and make things feel less tense, if only because she wasn't alone with him now. Although the mood would still be expectedly depressing given the circumstances.
“I'm about as alright as I can be I guess...” Kurui would lie to Rythe, although she was unsure how convincing she was. “I... didn't sleep very well last night, but I'm not going to complain like I have it worse than anyone still trapped down there. I don't think Black is going to have much time to speak, we'll probably spend the whole time getting questioned by the Royal Constables or something, as if they expect to find something...” her voice sounded just a little hopeful at this last part, but enough to be over suspicious. After all, to everyone else Black was still a respectable noble and this was all an accident... unless by some miracle some of them had any reason to suspect differently. She remembered Rythe's compass from the enchanters shop, but didn't say anything yet. A question for after class maybe. “Either way... it's not going to be fun today. On Red Day too... I had forgotten all about that. I wasn't expecting anything from anyone worth worrying about, but it's still depressing for the one's who are missing it, you know?” She paused for a second, a look of deep sadness crossing her face.
“If Dinn were still here... maybe I wouldn't have minded getting something from him... why did it have to be this way? Why is everything going to hurt so bad until Black is dead or in a royal dungeon somewhere? Is it because I'm being weak and playing along in the hopes I'll get a chance to make it happen eventually? Even then... that won't undo everything that's happened if I never see Dinn or any of the others again...”
She gave a small cough, shaking away the expression.
“There's something I want to talk to you about after class, but I have a few things I need to ask first, so wait for me out in the commons for a bit. Hopefully they don't make me stay after for any extra questions or anything since I was in one of the caved-in shafts... but if they do I'm sure it won't be too long.” She lowered her voice in case Black was listening but still avoided saying Sienna's name anyway. “Do me a favor and don't bring along anyone else. I'd rather not us worry them or depress them talking about this whole thing.” She sat back and tried to look normal now, bringing her voice back up again.
“Anyway, I guess all thats left to do right now is sit back and see where this depressing disaster goes today. Though the sooner it's over, the better.”
