Study group (Lucy)

[Corwin]

Let's go in order over the NPC mages! Vivantha, Kascha, Hanna, Candy, Tepen, Ebony, Balyss, Simmer for the first page, we can grab whoever is around and work our way down the list~

[Anastasia]

All at once or one at a time?

[Nephrite]

Probably one at a time but if any of them happen to be together all the better.

[Corwin]

What Neph said.

[Anastasia]

You manage to catch Vivantha in the mess hall. She's alone, just finishing up a meal amid the general ruckus and din of it all.

Go ahead.

[Nephrite]

"Vivantha!" Moore calls as he approaches. "How are you today? I wanted to introduce you to..." Moore taps his nose a few times. "I wanted to introduce you to a friend of mine. Lucy, this is Vivantha. Vivantha, Lucy. Vivantha uses a lot of similar magic to me, but tends to focus on different areas than I do." He explains.

[Corwin]

"How do you do, Miss Vivantha?" Lucy greets her with a smile. "As Moore said, I'm Lucy, and I happen to be interested in all sorts of magics!"

[Anastasia]

"Oh?" Vivantha pauses, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Are you fighting with Aurora?"

[Corwin]

"I've only just joined," Lucy responds. "Why, I haven't even gotten anywhere to stay, yet, and my things were just left in a corner of the library, but I'll try to help where I can, Miss Vivantha!"

[Anastasia]

"Oh, talk to Elena, she can get you a room," Vivantha says, "Elena?"

"Hi!" Elena calls, appearing dressed in a simple peasant working gown. "I heard your conversations about this earlier, by the way."

[Corwin]

"You are so fascinating, Miss Elena!"

[Anastasia]

"Why thank you," Elena smiles ear to ear, "What about me is pret-er, fascinating?"

[Corwin]

"How about your kindness, Miss Elena?" Lucy readily responds with. "Your incredible capacity for multitasking? Your obvious wealth and variety of knowledge? Or how about keeping track of the needs and desires of everyone in Aurora? Ably walking that narrow tightrope between being helpful and tactful and overstepping those boundaries? Why, I could go on and on and I've only had the pleasure of knowing you for a few hours!"

[Anastasia]

Elena starts to smile more and more as you talk, blushing by the end of it. "Oh, you have no idea! I have to pop in and help as surely as I have to know when not to. You wouldn't believe some of the things that go on here behind closed doors, or how much I have to balance people being happy or being held back for something without it spreading."

[Corwin]

"You work very hard and it is very admirable!" Lucy agrees. "I will not take you for granted, Miss Elena."
