GGaD » [[@GalaxE ~ just a past thread]] An unsupervised child is wandering...

GalaxianExplosion · June 14, 2020 16:33:22

(Maybe they take a field trip to the nearest magical library)

SpecterTheGreat · June 14, 2020 16:41:48

((👀 Sure, I'm up for it. Go ahead.))

GalaxianExplosion · June 15, 2020 18:56:13

Well, if Martin wasn't going to take further initiatives, Kiaane was just about finished with their training. And yes, they were just kinda going to absentmindedly wander out of the training grounds without asking Martin if he'd had any progress first.

SpecterTheGreat · June 16, 2020 09:58:37

So what could Martin do? Just run up and ask? Perhaps.
He followed Kiaane with his eyes, wondering if he could do so.

GalaxianExplosion · June 16, 2020 11:44:53

Guess they're leaving, yay.

SpecterTheGreat · June 16, 2020 11:52:13

Martin stood up quickly and pretty much scrambled after Kiaane. "H-hey!"

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 01:43:10

It takes them a moment to pause and another moment to half-turn around.

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 02:50:14

The boy rested his hands on his knees while still standing, and looked up at Kiaane.
"Where are you going? Can I go too?"

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 02:55:48

"No factors seem to prevent that." Kiaane found it curious how he was in the "I'm tired" stance when he didn't seem particularly so.

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 02:57:37

"Great! Where are you going?" He pretty much happily jumped into a straight position at the answer.

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 03:01:04

The only indicator of surprise from the boinging action was just a slight step forward on their end, somewhat awkward since they were still half-looking back. "The archive," they said, starting off again as they talked and turned their head back around in what was more suitable for walking. "The bibliotheca."

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 03:09:04

((I didn't know bibliotheca was also a word in English :0))

Martin followed with his hands behind his back.
He didn't talk, really. Even though he might have wanted to.

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 03:11:11

"Do you have trouble verbalizing?" then came the question. Supposedly even Kiaane could see Martin wasn't very silent naturally.

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 03:18:26

"Does that mean if I have trouble speaking?" He guessed, not really having seen the word before. "Well, it's better to be seen and not heard! Maybe you don't mind it if I talk?"

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 11:30:53

Kiaane could care less, honestly, but they were much less of a talker themselves and shared that saying in part, at least when the 'elders' of the family were concerned. "Yes."

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 12:04:14

((the 'elders' dksjffsdk))

"Cool! What's your name? I forgot if you told me or not."

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 12:11:09

(Aereon's like Kiaane's grandmother)

"I am Kiaan," they said, then said, for their second name: "I am Kiaane."
Huh, the two names have different pronunciations, huh.

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 12:13:55

He bobbed his head as an answer. "And you're very powerful too!"

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 12:15:17

They don't see the connection between their name and their abilities, but they say, "I am not."

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 12:16:33

((dw, I can't see the connection either.))

"Do you always train by yourself?"

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 12:31:37

The narrator ponders that question. Do they? While it would make sense for them to not always train with only themselves, other family members don't pay them that much heed and they do consider their own abilities to be dangerous.
"Yes," they said.

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 12:53:43

"Oh," he said. "I've been to the archive once, but I couldn't stay long. Sometimes it's fun to read. But sometimes I get bored. But it's necessary. Do you like to read?"

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 13:12:16

"Necessary?" they echo instead of answering the question. Seems like they have a habit of only answering the first question or the question they deem the most important.

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 13:17:49

"Yeah, it is! I think it is. But not always. Sometimes I just like to go off and do something else. For example, I can build little houses with sticks! And they don't fall. I'm a master of the sticks," he proclaimed proudly.

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 13:43:00

Well, to say Kiaane is impressed would be exaggerating by who knows how much, but they're probably expressing more interest than most others by just remaining in the conversation somewhat. "I see. Constructs magic?"
Yeah, uh, that's their idea of a conversation.

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 13:48:20

Martin cocked his head to the side. "What does that mean?"

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 13:53:32

Kiaane isn't in the mood for depleting mana for an example--they never are--but they do make some sort of vague gesture with their hands.

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 14:29:38

Martin shrugged.

GalaxianExplosion · June 18, 2020 14:49:35

Well, it seems Kiaane just walked straight past the Thaohals' bibliotheca.

SpecterTheGreat · June 18, 2020 15:16:43

"Hey hey, isn't it supposed to be over there?"
