Library [08.08]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

The library was more like a menagerie, today. Karal was accompanied by a Firecat, a deer, and a kitten.

Altra was necessary, he'd coaxed Evey to come with him so he wouldn't worry about her, and he hadn't wanted to leave Vashti on her own in the cabin.

Suffice it to say, it wasn't going to be quite a normal day in the library today.

"Very true," he agreed with a small laugh. "There are some books on meditation, though, and on focussing one's will and intent, and those could certainly help you without any unfortunate side effects."

"I'm more... worried that I'd be changing things I shouldn't change just by doing most of the practice the books mention."

Altra yawned from his spot on the desk. :If you want to practice, I can shield you so nothing leaks out.:

He bowed his head to Altra.

"...would you? I just... I've managed to contain matters somewhat so no one else is paying for my lack of experience, but I didn't want anyone to suffer for me to learn more."

:I will,: Altra replied. :Once Evey is herself again.:

"Magic is one of those things much better taught than learned from a book," Karal said.

"Yes, well, beggers can't be choosers," he said with a nod to Altra, "though they can be very thankful."

:We can't have you accidentally making everyone in the dorms taste like fruit,: Altra said, sounding amused. :But you'll never get total control without practice.:

He blushed a little.

"I wouldn't think so. I'm not all that quick to pick up on things and even worse if I can't try it."

Re: Morning

Karal chuckled. "It would actually be quite amusing if you made everyone taste like fruit," he said. "So long as it wore off. Compared to some of the other strangeness, tasting like fruit would seem almost ordinary."

"And have people licking others like sweetmeats?" he said with wide eyes.

Yeah, the mental image there is not going anywhere.

Karal went pink while Altra snickered. "I hadn't thought of that."

Liir couldn't help joining Altra.

What could he say to add to that, really?

"I should" laugh "probably get to work" laugh "before you convince me to Wickedness."

Re: Morning

He had to laugh as well. "Any wickedness was inadvertent, I swear!" he said. "But that's probably safest."
