"Oh, hi, Einervaene." I said as I greeted her with one of the rarest things in recent times. A smile.
"Hello, Urtuoi-kischu, how have you been? I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you as much recently. I have just been very excited about all this place has to offer." she said cheerfully while she turned her arm to lightning before it turned back.
"You are able to keep it up for longer?" I questioned while staring at her now twitching arm.
"Yeah, turns out, I had nearly committed a form of proverbial suicide with my magic as I had been using the wrong means to cast it. I am still casting it incorrectly, but, I have been getting better. See!" she explained before showing me her arm which had already recovered from its twitches and spasms.
"That's good, means I won't have to catch you or go over you to keep you from being squashed into a road." I joked to her which led to her looking away in embarrassment.
"So how has your magic come along? Hopefully, soon, I can show off how well I have done in changing how I go about casting it."
I frowned, "I've not had the time to, been a bit busy." I tell her before rubbing my jaw while looking at the pile of books I had to get earlier.
"You are not doing any magic training?"
"No, thought I'd learn the language first but it has been difficult to do so."
"I assume it is because of...?"
"No, well, yes, in a way. I haven't had any teachers willing to help me out with it and it is just so different to what I am used to." I tell her as I show her the tablet I had been using to jot down my notes before showing her a book so she could compare the texts. Maybe in the future I could teach her some Tobaballian?
"Einervaene! Einervaene!" someone called out cheerfully as they ran to us before then came to a stop after turning the corner that kept us separate. Their eyes staring intently at me before they took a step back. They didn't insult me, they apparently had no reason to, much to my surprise. But, they weren't even Jhermonikrans or whatever it was to be fair...
They were the same people Einervaene, Eusorochiian I think was the word.
"Alright, listen carefully, okay?" Einervaene then said with a sigh as she scooted a little closer and made sure I was looking at her.
"What is it?"
"I don't want you to take this personally or anything, but, is it alright if we don't see each other while out of our dorm?"
"Y-Yeah... It's fine." I said in understanding while I finally took in the fact we were getting stared at by so many different people.
"Again, please don't take it personally, okay?" she pleaded to me before letting out a little smile after I nodded in understanding. Soon sitting there quietly after having watched her leave me on my own. After that, it was a slow transition to moving on to my work once again and even then, I was just too distracted to focus on it.
