*Catriona laughs.*
Merciful Heavens, Len.
*She presents the starters to Eleni and sticks her tongue out at Tirith.*
No Foxy, Len. I'm sure 'Mr LD' will do just fine."
*She shakes her head and when Eleni has chosen a little snack, she leaves the disk to hover around. She walks over and takes Satorius' hand.*
Did he take a bath?

*LD recoils his head slightly at the barrage of questions*
"My you're a curious one."
*LD puts his left hand to his chin by reflex as he thinks for a moment*
"Well, I have fur because that's how I was born, same thing with my nose and it's not that big compaired to others of my race. And my fur is tinted blue because of over exposure to the astral plane."
*LD shakes the bottle and smiles*
"A drink from my home world, the name roughly translates to Mountain Dew."
*LD swishes his tail a bit*
"Well, it's different then not having one. Yeah I can make things float, I can also heal nearly and wound and disease without medicine."
*LD chuckles when Cat tells Eleni to call him "Mr. LD"*
"LD will be fine and as Catriona said, please don't call me 'Foxy'."
*LD uncaps the bottle and drains the remains as he stands. He stowes the empty bottle in one of the pockets on the inside of his cloak*

*Tirith tries to push Victus over so he may pet the sides and belly of the cat.* Len is always asking too many questions. So why are you wearing a uniform, Mr-D? Are you a soldier? Have you fought many enemies? Did you kill them? *He unfolds one wing and shakes his head. The fire on his skin ripples and fades, though there is still a red haze all over him, and his hair has little sparks playing in it.* Are you a hero? I know lots of heroes. Adar is a hero. And Jingzu is a hero. And Adar says that Nana is a hero but she's a girl. And Uncle Taur is a hero, he has lots of swords and moves and he goes WAM and BANG and SWISH! And then your head comes off. Uncle Oren could do that too, but he's dead.

*LD shrugs and smiles a bit*
"My race is just as curious, I answer questions all the time, it's not a big deal."
*LD's smile fades*
"I wear it because I am still on call to be reclaimed into the main fighting force of my planet. Yes I am a soldier, I've fought many enemies and killed many more then I have fought."
*LD watches the fire ripple off, he thought it a neat effect. He returns his attention to Tirith's face when he speaks of Hero's*
"No, I don't see myself as a hero. I knew a few Heros, but there is a motto on my world. [ceronian]'All the Heros are dead.'[/ceronian] That roughly comes out to All the heros are dead. The heros I knew are all dead now, died in defence of our homeworld. And just because one is a girl does not mean that they cannot be a hero, many of my comrads are girls and many 'Heros' of Ceron are girls."
*LD again rubs his chin and looks over at Satorius and Cat*
"Well they and you can have your beliefs about what a Hero is, but I'll keep mine. I've never met your Uncle but after dinner mabey your 'Adar' will let you see the blade I've made for him. Anyway, if off went my head, it wouldn't be the first time someone caused me to 'lose' my head."
*LD grins slightly*

*Catriona smiles and makes an apologetic gesture at LD.*
I'm sorry, they're just so curious. I swear I don't know where they get it- though it's probably his side of the family.
*She makes a head gesture at Satorius and sticks her tongue out at him.*
... even Len. I think it's contagious.

*Tirith listens wide-eyed and curious.*
How can all the heroes be dead? That doesn't make sense. If all the heroes are dead, who will you go to if something heroic needs doing? Or do you only become a hero when you're dead? Then what if you're resurrected, are you still a hero then? And if you knew the heroes, then they were alive at that point and not dead, unless you can speak to dead people like Len does, but I don't think you do because Len and Miss Mina are always going huuummmm when they do and then they stare at nothing and you haven't done that yet.
*He nods solemnly, apparently very much impressed by the strength of his own argument.*
So Ceron is your home? Hey, I know that language, Nana and Adar use that when they don't want us to know about our birthday presents! You made a sword? Can you make swords? Can you make one for me? I've got a wooden one but it isn't the same, and Nana says I can have a real one when I'm bigger, and she said that when I was only five and now I'm six, so now I'm bigger. So how did you lose your head before? Looks to me like you still got it.

*LD smiles and waves dismisingly*
"There is no reason to appolgise, curiosity is natural, besides I get questions all the time about this place from my Neice. Anyway if it bothered me I'd ask him to stop asking."
*LD smiles a bit then turns his attention to answering Tirith's questions*
"Well now that is a good question. Really though, hero is a very abstract word, one's definiton varies frequently, but to the point, the saying is more saying that you shouldn't go seaking to do 'heroic' acts, as it often ends with you going to see you ancestors much sooner then you should."
*LD smiles slightly*
"Well I can speak to the dead if I work at it right, but it's not easy to manipulate energies like that, I'm neither a soulsinger nor a cleric. And those hero's I speak of are dead, they died some time ago. A living 'hero' is mearly someone who is an extrodinary person."
*LD hmms then continues*
"Aye, it's my home, the only real one I've ever known. Yes and I helped teach your Nana to speak that language, she caught on very fast, if memory serves."
*LD nods*
"Yeah I make swords and you won't be getting one of my blades unless you 'Adar' aprroves. If he doesn't I'm afraid I can't be doing that, they are dangerous and can hurt you if you don't know how to use them right."
*LD laughs a bit*
"I think she means when you're much bigger, Six may seem old to you but somehow I don't think it's the magic number your Nana was thinking of for the year you get a metal blade. And as your 'Adar' may atest, I've come back from much worse then haveing my head choped off, that's just one of 6 ways I've died so far in my life. Oddly I keep manageing to come back, strange huh?"
*LD smiles and chuckles awaiting what he expects to be an Awed responce from Tirith*

"Indeed, six is, in fact, not the magic number we had in mind. 100 might be closer to reality. Not all that long at all."
Satorius takes a seat, a small grin on his face as he watches the various children bombard LD with questions. He sticks his tongue out at Trink.
"Your side is where trouble springs from. Trevain is trouble, obviously."

*Tirith folds the wing back in.*
Ooooh, so if something heroic needs doing there, everyone will back off because they know they're gonna die and they don't want to?
*He looks proud as he pets the cat.*
Nana is a Kuruni. That's like a cleric. But she don't raise people- often, anyway. And she don't speak to the dead at all because she says that they have better things to do but I don't believe that because they're dead so what could they possibly have to do all day? What do they say?
*He glances over at his parents.*
I wonder what they'll speak when we learn to speak Foxy too.
*He looks vaguely disappointed at the news that he is not going to get a sword yet, but then he shrugs and gives LD a curious big-eyed look.*
You died six times? Or six different ways but multiple times? Why did you come back? Who killed you? Were they your enemies? How did they kill you? And why? How did you come back? What was it like to be dead? If you got your head chopped off how come it's still on your shouders? If you died then why aren't you a hero because you said that heroes died so aren't you a hero if you've died? How does Adar know about how you died? Was he there? How come he was there? Who were you fighting? Was Adar fighting too? What happened? Did you win in the end? Were you-
*He is suddenly interrupted in his questions and his face shoots towards Satorius. His mouth falls open and the sparks in his hair extinguish from sheer shock.*
... ONE HUNDRED? That's FOREVER!!

But I wasn't talking about trouble, love.
*Trink laughs and sits by Satorius. She puts her hand on his and strokes the back of it before she turns her face to Xeno.*
I understand there is trouble at the Haye Centre. How are you and your students holding out with all that chaos?

<Xeno nods, noticing that he was included in the conversation suddenly. Victus, on the other hand, happily let Tirith push him over and laid on his side, waiting for petting.>
Yes... Merestil has not shown up for some time now. We're unsure of what is going on, but many of us assume he is on one of his little trips. He's just been gone longer than usual, so we are all quite concerned.

"The easy method is to blame you for everything Trink." Satorius grins. "I think I will go for the easy method."

While the adults are talking, Cirion happily selects a few choice pieces of food here and there. He was rapidly becoming a vegetarian, like mom. He would probably eat like dad, but then again dad sometimes doesn't even eat, so he prefered emulating his mother.

*Catriona pokes Satorius in the side.*
Oh yes, you're such an innocent little angel.
*She watches her sons before responding to Xeno. She nods.*
Yes... We haven't heard from him either, and he tends to be very dutiful with birthdays and postcards and stuff. We were thinking- my husband and myself- that this chaos couldn't be beneficial for the students, or for your sense of job security, for that matter. Now Satorius is a teacher too, but mostly of history, politics, and especially arcane magic...
*She looks at Satorius.*

"Oh of course I am. I can even make the halo to prove it." Satorius smiles, pecking Trink on the cheek.
"What she is saying, Xeno, is that there are openings in the school here. The last Psionic teacher departed, and has not been seen since. You are welcome to switch jobs if you wish."
