∞ 60: Much-needed practice [written/action]

[written]

Genis, please send a message when dinner is ready. I will be out for awhile.

If anyone needs me, I will be in the library.

[For lack of anything better to do on a nice summer afternoon, Albert has decided to sit in the library with a ... somewhat-odd setup. A map stretched across a table out of sight from the front door, dotted with small wooden figures designed as soldiers, cavalry, archers, mages... The map, upon closer inspection, shows patches color that denote plains, mountains, water bodies, and forests.

In some ways, the setup looks like a game board. It's really a lasting reminder of another strategist's presence in Luceti; he was the one who had introduced Albert to the method of practice, after all.

Nearly two years in Luceti without access to strategy books and news of warfare have dulled his skills. He doesn't look pleased as he makes moves for both armies.]

So...if I can get past the lower ones, I can contact Eferin? That shouldn't be too hard.

[ooc: ffff I still get confused with it sometimes ^^;]

Correct. And it may be easier said than done, for some; the spirits are annoying, and not all of the residents here are known for their patience.

[...yeah going to choose not to mention his lack of patience] Well do the spirits ever get annoyed enough that they'll just give in?

I'm not sure if the spirits are intentionally annoying or are annoying by nature; they seem to thrive on making fun of those talking to them. You just need to be persistent.

Awesome, I'm pretty good at that!

Then you should be fine. Just give it time and you will reach Eferin.

Good. That's a lot more helpful than what Raine's told me so far.

I'm sure the Professor would have been able to answer your questions if the correct conversation was followed. Topics tend to change quickly.

Yeah I guess so. But usually I have other things to ask her about anyway.

You're a student of hers, so I presume homework assignments come up.

Usually I avoid talking about school 'cause she'd probably just lecture about it instead.

[He simply snorts and shakes his head. How typical.]

Personal issues, then.

...are you trying to say I have issues?

You're an adolescent trapped in a new, dangerous world with a younger sister to watch over in the absence of your parents. I would say so.

Yeah but that's actually nothing new.

I didn't say you didn't have issues before.

I was totally capable of taking care of myself. And my sister. And my friends. And I still am.

[He's not going to say anything. Nope. He really doesn't have to when your face says everything, Tai.]

...[totally not starting to sulk, really] Well it's true.

Everyone here is stripped of something that makes them capable in their own world, be it raw power, connections, or confidence. I'm sure it's no different for yourself.

Okay so maybe that is true. What about it?

I was simply saying that if you aren't speaking with the Professor about school or other things you could learn about Luceti, then it must be about personal issues.

Oh. I guess that's true, yeah. She worries too much so I usually have to prove we're okay.

Worries too much? About you and your sister?

About everybody but herself. But yeah mostly about me...and my friends.
