Age: 51
Physical Description: Reuna is a striking study in contrasts. She is just slightly above female average, height-wise, standing at 5'8", and is slender, with a fragile bone structure that makes her look weak; this is, of course, balanced out by her strength and skill in magic. Her hair is long, descending to her waist, and is purely black, which is a sharp opposition to her pale-skinned features. Her eyes are the color of amethyst, dark and intense, and are usually the only method from which one can derive her mood, as she very rarely displays her emotions via facial expressions. She appears young, in her mid-thirties, although if one looks closely enough, they can see the beginnings of fine lines around her eyes and mouth. Although few have ever seen them, due to her tendency to keep herself fully covered from neck to toes, she has whip-mark scars covering most of her back, and scars from long periods spent in manacles around both of her wrists, remnants from her days as a slave.
-----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Generally, Reuna wears one of five sets of identical robes, with high collars and long slightly-loose sleeves, in black, dark grey, purple, dark green, and dark blue. Commonly-carried equipment consists of her personal grimoire, a traveling writing kit (with ink well, quills, and writing desk), and a belt with pouches that contain various items (both magical and non); though perhaps not considered equipment, her raven companion Karrik always accompanies her.

 Just within the border of the Forêt Woods, on the side nearest the city of Travére, sits a small tower. Any who have been in that part of the woods before might notice it as a new structure - and indeed, it is a recent addition. Erected via strong magic, the modest yet sturdy tower is the chosen home of the newest Librarian and Book Restoration Expert of the Royal Academy of the Arcane, a sorceress by name of Reuna Midai. It is here that the sorceress chooses to dwell, one of its interior doors linked to her "dormitory" (in truth, her office) within the Academy itself, allowing her to travel between her home and work with ease. The tower is surrounded by defensive wards designed to keep out intruders and hostile individuals, but those who approach with peaceful intent will be allowed entry, assuming the owner is home. Upon entering, one sees a collection of spaces seemingly too large for what the exterior allows. But, such are the benefits of magic.
(OOC: Permission to enter must be gained via PM.)

Physical Description: Edward Laurént stands at 5'10. He has midlength black hair, and a clean shaven face. Previously his facial features were hard to remember, since he has begun wearing glasses they have become easier to recall. He looks to be in his late twenties, with a strong jaw, mid set cheek bones, straight narrow nose, and full lips. He appears to be in decent physical condition, though he is a bit pale.
Edwards eyes are an odd shade of blue, and they quite literally glow. With his glasses on, the glowing is the only remarkable thing about them. When you stare into his eyes when his glasses off though... it can be an odd experience. Staring into his eyes gives the impression that time has ceased to flow. Then you become aware of just how fast you are moving through the void of space. Most students avoid looking into his eyes.

Clothes and Equipment: Previously Edward only owned one suit of clothing. He retains these clothes, as a sort of work uniform. His style of dress when working is odd. He wears: sturdy blue cotton pants, an over sized coat of some unknown material, a sweater with a hood sewn onto it, and a large scarf. Each piece of clothing fluctuates in state of repair, and cleanliness through the day. If these clothes were not so eccentric, he could easily be considered a beggar while wearing them.
Edward has begun to expand his wardrobe in recent months. His first new accessory is a pair of glasses. Unlike other time mages, Edward struggled with turning off his time sight, rather than turning it on. His glasses are enchanted to suppress it. When not working he tends to wear casual clothing. Loose white shirts, and simple leather leggings. He also has a handful of stylish, if simple mage robes for special occasions.

Echoes pops into existence inside of Reuna's house.
"WAIT!"
He promptly vanishes, a few minutes later a knock comes at the door.

Standing in the kitchen area, in the process of making tea, Reuna was slightly startled by her wards alerting her to a magical presence. She was just about to go search out the source, magic sparking at her fingertips, when she heard a voice crying out from elsewhere in the tower. A familiar one at that. And then the presence was gone. Her magic receded, a smile stealing its way onto her lips as she chuckled. Oh, Echoes.. never a dull moment with him in her life. Shaking her head, she returned to her tasks, setting out an additional cup for her soon-to-return guest and retrieving the cake she'd made the day prior. A bit of magic was all it took to transport the tea service and cake to her study, and she was on her way to the main entrance when there came a knock! Crossing to the door, she pulled it open, her eyes sparkling mirthfully as she gazed at her new friend.
"So nice of you to pop by, Echoes. Please, come in." Stepping back, a sweeping gesture of her arm urged him inside, whereupon she closed the door, her fingertips tracing a few symbols upon its surface. They briefly glowed a vivid shade of lilac, attuning the wards of the tower and grounds to Echoes' magical signature, then faded. "You're just in time for tea, as promised." Of course, it was rare to find Reuna without a cup of tea when she was at home, but that was neither here nor there. Indicating that he should accompany her, she started up the stairs toward her study. "How have you been?" Although maybe a more appropriate choice of question was, 'When have you been?'

Echoes looks around curiously as he is lead through the tower. Actually lead is the wrong word, since he, of course, already seems to know where they are going. He takes his seat, and a sip of tea gratefully. "Ah! Just as good as the first time I tried it. Oh! Before I remember, I brought you a house warming gift." He reaches out, miming like he is putting something on the table. At first nothing happens, but then suddenly a flower appears. Rather the petals of a flower appear, it has no stem, or stamen, and floats above the table. The hue of the petals seems to shift, moving through the visible light spectrum. The flower emits an aroma that is complex and fluid, ever changing but always floral and pleasant.  "When I am from it is tradition to bring flowers or wine to a new home. I don't understand wine, but you seemed to enjoy the time blossom. Now from your perspective what was the question you ask me? Was it how am I? I don't think we have that conversation just yet." |

Of course he knew the way to her study, and how her own tea blend tasted. Reuna should have expected that. She shook her head, mostly at herself; it had been too long since she'd been around a time mage. It would take her a bit to get wholly re-accustomed to being around one of the temporally displaced. Pouring herself a cup of tea and preparing it just to her liking - two sugars, just a bit of cream - she arched a brow at his words.. only for her eyes to widen at the sight of the flower that manifested above the table. Carefully yet hastily setting her cup down, she crept forward, leaning over the flower to inspect it with wide-eyed fascination. "This is absolutely exquisite!"
Reuna had never seen anything like it before. And she'd seen quite a bit in her time! Being romantically attached to a planeswalker for several years had led to many different sights. Idly, she wondered what he would think of this lovely thing. Mentally shaking aside those thoughts, she turned her gaze back to Echoes as one of her rare, brilliant grins appeared. "Well, I commend your choice, for although I do enjoy the occasional glass of wine, this is the most thoughtful and delightful gift I've ever received. Thank you."
Picking up her tea again with every intent of taking another sip, she nonetheless became thoroughly distracted by both the flower and her conversation with Echoes. "A.. time blossom, you called it? Fascinating." Continuing to examine the flower, she briefly glanced at Echoes, her brow quirked in amusement. "We don't? Pray tell, then, what conversation do we have now?" The corner of her lips quirked up in a bemused smirk, awaiting his response.

Echoes smile practically glows, when Reuna tells him how much she liked his gift. Evidently knowing how someone will react, doesn't lessen his enjoyment of seeing it. He thinks over her question of what conversation they will have.
"Well it depends, and depended on a few factors. In some cases, this is the point where I am reminded that you meant how have I been emotionally, and physically. Rather then what I thought you were asking, which was how I came to be. After I apologize for the misunderstanding, I typically ask you how you are settling. There a few different answers you provided to that question, and the conversation develops from there."
Echoes, takes another sip of tea.
"Oh! You meant how have I been, not how am I. Sorry, I have, will, and am well. You have settled into the academy nicely?"

Finally managing to drag her focus from the ethereal flower, she put a couple of pieces of the cake nearby - a simple angel food cake, layered and covered with a light vanilla cream - onto two plates, taking one for herself and leaving the other for Echoes. Listening to him speak as she took a couple of bites, mostly to keep herself from chuckling, she then sipped at her tea, hiding a smile in the delicate cup as the conversation he was just speaking of came to pass. "Glad to hear it. I have indeed. And I've been greatly enjoying my time working on the books, as well as exploring the Library. Fascinating place, truly."
She had just eaten another bite of cake when something occurred to her, and she paused, fork still in her mouth, to consider. Slowly extracting the silverware, she gave Echoes a thoughtful look. "Although, there is a small matter that I've been thinking on, and I was wondering if I might get your opinion on the situation." Setting aside the plate of baked deliciousness, she clasped her hands in her lap, awaiting Echoes' assent before continuing.
"You might have noticed an item in my office, when you were there. It's a sapphire. A magical one, to be precise. But, oddly enough, I haven't been able to discern what, exactly, is magical about it. Whatever it is, I can't seem to activate it. As you're far more familiar with the layout of the Academy than I am, I was hoping you could advise me as to a good location in which to place this item, that others might openly access it, in hopes of discovering what the enchantment placed on it is." Falling silent, she raised her cup to her lips, sipping at the spicy-creamy-sweet contents, and looked at Echoes with the clear question on her face: Any ideas?

"There were three things we tried, each has a chance at success. We placed it in the student common room, and the main hall. I also offered to take a fourth dimensional scan of the item. This last one proved quite risky. Well the scan itself was safe, the results could be risky."
After answering Reuna's question, Echoes devours his cake. He is a messy eater and like last time, he is left with remnants of cake on his face.

A thoughtful look passed across Reuna's face at his suggestions. She wasn't entirely certain about the idea of the student common room.. but the main hall... That was certainly viable. "Excellent. Thank you, Echoes." No longer lost in thought, she looked up at him with a smile.. and promptly had to stifle a laugh. Oh, but he was oddly adorable sometimes. Producing a handkerchief from its place in a pocket of her robes' sleeve, she handed it to him. "I'm glad to see you're enjoying my cake. It's not as decadent as yours, but it suits well enough with tea."
Even as they returned to conversation, she was mentally planning out the details of her relocating the gem. She'd have to find a fairly obvious spot for it, so it could be seen, and set up some sort of explanation as to the thing's presence. Reuna was quite excited; she very much wanted to know what it would take to activate the enchantment, and what it did.

Echoes wipes his face clean. He hands the handkerchief back to Reuna, it is of course totally clean.
"So the main hall then? The futures just collapsed into that direction, at least in this time line. Oh well, I would have liked to scan it just to study."
Echoes sits in the silence for a moment.
"Oh! Right we need a topic. Sorry, I will never be good with small talk."
He lapses into silence again, evidently having forgotten to pick a topic.

Stifling a smile, she slid the handkerchief back up her sleeve, and took another sip of her tea as she nodded. "That was my thought. It's an open area where all can easily access it, so that seems like the best place. As for your scanning it, if you think it would be safe, then by all means. I just don't want to risk damaging the gem, or worse, the Academy." Finishing off her piece of cake, she hesitated briefly, pondering whether or not she wanted more. And eventually decided, why not? She didn't indulge in sweets often.
Taking another slice, she offered Echoes a warm smile. "No need to apologize. I've never been particularly talkative myself. Spending most of my life alone has not led me to be the best conversationalist." Her mind flashed back to late-night talks that lasted until dawn, interspersed with laughter and tender kisses that became-- She firmly closed her eyes, forcing those memories back into the box where they belonged. That part of her life was over. She had to accept that. Taking a deep breath, she focused on the present once more, taking a larger bite of her cake than was strictly necessary. "How are your classes going? I hear students talking in the Library sometimes. Most of them seem absolutely baffled by you, more often than not."

Echoes brightens when he is told he can scan the gem. In fact he almost seems to vibrate with excitement.
"Excellent, fourth dimensional beings have static timelines relative to themselves. As do I, so if I don't scan the gem in my, relative, present I don't have access to that information."
He rubs his hands excitedly, and produces his little silver marble. Just as he many times before, he expands it so it can float freely.
"Classes? The room exist in a proxy fourth dimensional space, so far in my relative time line, no one has found it. I like fourth dimensional spaces, it is very pleasant to not know everything. There are times..."
Echoes trails off, and his expression turning sad and wistful.
"Sorry, are you reading a good book?"

Roleplay posts: 361
Age: 51
Physical Description: Reuna is a striking study in contrasts. She is just slightly above female average, height-wise, standing at 5'8", and is slender, with a fragile bone structure that makes her look weak; this is, of course, balanced out by her strength and skill in magic. Her hair is long, descending to her waist, and is purely black, which is a sharp opposition to her pale-skinned features. Her eyes are the color of amethyst, dark and intense, and are usually the only method from which one can derive her mood, as she very rarely displays her emotions via facial expressions. She appears young, in her mid-thirties, although if one looks closely enough, they can see the beginnings of fine lines around her eyes and mouth. Although few have ever seen them, due to her tendency to keep herself fully covered from neck to toes, she has whip-mark scars covering most of her back, and scars from long periods spent in manacles around both of her wrists, remnants from her days as a slave.
-----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Generally, Reuna wears one of five sets of identical robes, with high collars and long slightly-loose sleeves, in black, dark grey, purple, dark green, and dark blue. Commonly-carried equipment consists of her personal grimoire, a traveling writing kit (with ink well, quills, and writing desk), and a belt with pouches that contain various items (both magical and non); though perhaps not considered equipment, her raven companion Karrik always accompanies her.

His excitement was decidedly entertaining, and Reuna didn't bother to silence the soft chuckle it inspired. "Well then, whenever you like, feel free to stop by my office and scan it. I'll wait until after you have done so to move it to the main hall." Taking another bite of her piece of cake, she listened to him speak about his classroom, and the comforts provided by it being.. apparently outside the normal space-time everyone else is familiar with.
But her eyes widened ever so slightly in concern when his expression shifted so dramatically. Hesitating a moment, she then set aside the last bit of her cake slice, turning her not inconsiderable focus on him. "Recently, I've been reading a treatise on the usage of various crystal dusts in warding magic, but... Are you quite alright, Echoes?" Her head tilted, those shining violet hues searching his features questioningly, and with a touch of worry. They were newly-made friends, certainly, but Reuna had always been compassionate. He had once jokingly said that she collected strays.. and it was true. Reuna tended to find those who were lonely, lost, or aching, and bring them into her life. Perhaps because she had been that way herself, for so long.. and was once again, in a way.

Echoes sits silently for a very long moment.
"It's always shifting."
His voice is soft, but there is something in it. Age, weariness, resignation, it was the voice of an old man, one who has suffered too much, and too often.
"We are not meant to meddle in the fourth dimension Reuna. It is not for us. When we choose to tamper in that which is not ours... we take a terrible risk."
He gives her a sad empty smile, and the air around him shifts. For a moment time is laid bare. Reuna would see it not as the river, but closer to the truth. A vast ocean that stretches beyond imagination, and each droplet of water a reality, a future, a past, a present. Above that ocean stands a man, and he is alone, achingly, impossibly alone.
"Everything you wanted, is not worth everything you had."
He shakes his head slowly, and smiles again. His usual perplexed, vacant, smile, his mask against his reality."
"Sorry, memories can be quite powerful. Those particular memories were brought to my mind recently.

Reuna herself had never so much as considered dabbling in the magics of time; there were far too many risks involved, and those who meddled in it tended to end up mad. The sadness she felt on Echoes' behalf as he spoke was evident in her gaze, although the only expression on her features was a small frown. Being inexperienced in the manipulation of space-time, she couldn't help but gasp as the fabric of reality itself shifted around her, giving her a glimpse into what it was that Echoes saw every day. Her heart, which had once been cold and dead within her chest, before a monk of a broken god came into her life, ached for his sorrow.
"..You have no need whatsoever to apologize to me. I understand all too well the pain memories can hold. Although, I somehow get the feeling you already know of my pain." He had once said that they were going to become good friends, but Reuna found it hard to believe that she would ever want to share the tale of her heartache. It was still too fresh, although it had been years since she last saw him.
The sorceress was not an impulsive person by nature - Reuna was a planner, precise and methodical. But it was pure emotion that drove her to lean forward, gently placing her hand atop Echoes'. "I may never know exactly what trials you face, Echoes, but I can promise you this: I am a steadfast friend, and should you ever need me, whether it be a place to get away for a while, someone to talk to, or just a cup of tea, my doors will always be open to you."

Echoes smiles down at her hand, the silver sphere moves into his lap. He pets it absently, like one might pet a cat.
"Thank you. This conversation, was one of the least likely ones we could have had. Still I think I am glad this is the one we did. Sadly, I depart now. My burdens weighed to heavy, for me to continue."
With Echoes vanishes, as is his way.

As per the usual, before Reuna could say anything, Echoes was gone. She sighed, content, yet also oddly sad, at the same time. A sidelong glance was aimed at the table with its contents of cake and tea, and she made what was likely a horrible decision. With a few quick gestures, Echoes' cup was sent to the kitchen to be washed, while the tea tray and its contents rose upward, following her as she retreated to her bedroom at the tower's peak. Yes. She was going to eat that whole cake. She may be a sorceress, but she was a woman too, and she could wallow and eat her feelings if she bloody well wanted to. Maybe it would help her stop thinking about the things she could never have again.

<A few days after his break down in Reuna's office.>
Echoes pops into Reuna's tower, he is sitting in a large comfy chair. Actually sitting is the wrong word, he is curled up in a ball in a large comfy chair. His knees tucked under his chin, arms wrapped around them. He has a large bandage on his nose, it is apparently broken. He sits in silence waiting fro Reuna to come.

Since Echoes' abrupt departure earlier that week, Reuna had been hard at work, restoring as many books as she possibly could in the hours of a single day, and running herself ragged in the process. It was how she coped with her tumultuous emotions: Anger. Frustration. Sorrow. Self-loathing. Worry. When Echoes appeared in her tower, she was in the process of attaching a new cover to an old book, but froze when her wards alerted her to the time mage's presence. Hastily casting a locking spell on her office door and a ward over the contents of the room, she rolled down her sleeves and plucked up the skirts of her robes in ink-stained fingers, darting through the door that connected her office to her tower. She slowed only when she reached her study, where she could feel his magical aura resting, and poked her head cautiously around the door frame.
The sight of him, all huddled up and apparently with a broken nose, pulled at her heartstrings. Moving slowly closer, she sank onto her knees before the chair, sitting comfortably on her legs as her black robes pooled around her. Those amethyst eyes searched his face, filled with concern. It was several long minutes before she finally spoke, her voice gentle. "Echoes.. what happened? Are you alright?"

"Alright? No, I am all that's left."
Echoes doesn't look up as he says, he gives a mad, hopeless, heart wrenching giggle. It takes him a moment to compose himself, and when he does he finally looks at Reuna.
"I think I was here to apologize. You are... were frighted by what I did. I would have known you would be if I had thought to think. That has ever been my problem Reuna, I don't think. I ponder, I study, I learn, but I never think. I do things, I know my lesson but I ignore it."
He shakes his head, his expression is one of self loathing.
"I made the sword safe. It is out there, waiting for someone who wants to save the world. My little boy won't befriend anyone else."
He gives a little chocking sob.
"I didn't want to burden you Reuna, but if I don't speak I am afraid of what may happen. Can I tell you a story?"
