[And here we have a big-ass dragon out on the lawn behind the main mansion, sleeping.

Yes, this is normal.]

[ Margaret locks the bathroom door with a self-satisfied smirk ( and a lot of vindictiveness ) and steps back to survey her handiwork, the tip of her tongue rubbing over one canine as she narrows her eyes at the door that is shaking with the force behind two fists thumping against the other side.

Going to the school at Falner is hard and not nearly as fun as she thought it would be. The first few weeks were okay, but then one of the boys in the class she shared with her brother had started bothering Renae, constantly coming over and picking the seat to his other side -- or behind him, or in front -- once she'd convinced her twin that the seat by the window had an excellent view of the lawn and Father Clayce.

It's been the worst birthday month she's ever had, her mother leaving them to the care of her uncles while she was away on an assignmebt where they couldn't tag along. She understands, at some level, that things are changing, now that they have come to live at Netsach--

--but did it really have to change so much?

She hears the boy call out ( pitiful, really ) but she's angry and she's hurt and she still remembers the confused look on her brother's face when she'd practically dragged him away before confronting the offending party. ]

[ It's two days later when he finally thinks to wander down to King's Rest after dinner with his family in search of the sake that Hikaru mentioned. He'd have gone sooner but things had cropped up and between classes at Balamb, spending time with Gabriel at the Regardi residence, and catching up with his Dad and Cindy -- it got pushed back a little.

So yeah, he walks in and makes a beeline for the bar, greets Beckett Duskrider with a smile and slides in that query of whether they have either the beer or the sake in stock and if the Riskbreaker can ring three cans and a bottle up against his card.

The beer gets handed over easily enough, but Beckett excuses himself to check on that sake. ]

[ Nothing shocks Brig much anymore. It's all just pleasant new learning and astonished surprise at the scale of things.

The Amrita in Marikina didn't scare him really. There was no fear. It was just a new mark. But there was damn good amount of healthy respect for the power of its swings. That hand was huge. Lordie, it was a good thing Taning had packed up that much electrical juice when he did.

But Father Aidan was a totally different matter. He was awe-inspiring to look at. A real life dragon. Massive. Powerful. And when he was in human form, that same power still exuded off him.

Few things made Brig feel small. The Voidseeker was one of them.]

Uhm, good morning, Father Aidan.[ He raises his voice instinctively as if trying to throw his voice into Aidan's ear so he could hear him. It was only after he caught himself that he remembered Aidan could hear very, very well. ]
