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.

It didn't take Reuna long to bathe and dress, and with her damp hair pulled back into a braid, she quickly descended to the kitchen to get breakfast started. Her feet were bare, a comfortable blue dress on her body, and she was quietly singing as she bustled around, whisking eggs and frying up bacon and toast. "The book of love is long and boring.." A silly grin spread across her lips even as she sang. The sorceress had a feeling that song was going to be stuck in her head for a very, very long time to come.

The moment Edward walked into the room, he'd find an empty bed. A few seconds later he's hear a "BOO!" from behind the door.
There was little Gavin, still in his pajamas. He was also wearing a pillow case for a mask.

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.

Edward jumps a little when Gavin shouts. His little stunt had been doubly effective, as Edward had just been panicking. He had not checked in on his son when he came back in last night. Seeing the bed empty had filled him with dread. After the initial shock wore off, relief set in. Laughing Gavin is subjected to a viscous tickling, suitable punishment for his actions. After that he oversaw Gavin getting dressed, and cleaned. Then took the boy down to breakfast.

Reuna had just set three plates of breakfast down on the dining room table when Edward and Gavin entered, and although she aimed a heated, adoring look at her lover, she was quick to plaster on a smile as she greeted Gavin. "Good morning, little prince. Did you have fun yesterday?" She knew she did. There was a sort of satisfied glow about her, the sorceress practically dancing on air as she set down steaming cups of tea for herself and Edward, and a cup of apple juice for the youngster.

Gavin was still giddy over having successfully scared his father. "Yah! Roy made brownies and then taught me how to play Toadstools. And then we sword fought a little bit with the wooden swords and he read me a story. Then I went to sleep."
It was then that Gavin had a curious look on his face. "Were you guys racing? I remember after I fell asleep, I had this weird dream where you two were racing on horses around Gauldin. I kept hearing Reu saying she wanted Edward to go faster and faster."

Edward takes a sip of tea, which he immediately spits out. He coughs and pounds his chest, before looking at Gavin. His cheeks color, and he begins to panic. Then he fights it down. He could answer the question, without making an ass of himself.
"Er no we were not racing. That was just a dream Gavin."
A very, very worrying dream.

Reuna's brows shot upward, both at Gavin's.. dream.. and Edward's reaction. Trying to laugh it off, Reuna sipped at her tea. "That is indeed a very strange dream, Gavin. Why don't you eat your breakfast, hm?" Yes, distract the child with food.. and as soon as breakfast was over, Reuna was going to put up some very strong silencing wards. Around both their room, and Gavin's. Although she had to wonder what they boy could've possibly heard.. she didn't recall saying 'faster'.. 'harder', certainly... Oh, there she went blushing again, and hiding a very satisfied smile behind her tea cup.

Gavin shrugged. He still didn't understand the concept of courting very well. Frankly it seemed rather boring. In fact a good horse race would probably be an improvement in his mind.
"Ok." He said flatly before attending to his breakfast.
After what were no doubt a few awkward moments, Gavin asked, "So when am I gonna start getting magic lessons?"

Edward thanks whatever gods are listening. Glad that Gavin lost interest so fast. Of course that lead him to the next issue. Who was actually going to teach Gavin magic. Edward couldn't do it. He quite literally only knew time and space magic. Neither of which were safe to teach a child. Gavin would need a tutor. He also still needed to find the lad a playmate. So many thing he wanted for his son. He just needed to find people to fulfill the roles.
"Well I'll see about getting you a tutor soon. In the mean time, I am sure if you asked Reu nicely she would teach you something."

Reuna realized after her first bite of eggs that she was absolutely ravenous. Perhaps unsurprising, given the strenuous night she'd had. She was mid-bite of a piece of toast when she heard her name spoken, and she looked up curiously, casting through her memory to figure out what had been said. Ah, yes. Her teaching magic to Gavin until they could find him a personal tutor. Swallowing her bite, she nodded, and cleared her throat before speaking. "Of course, I would be more than happy to teach him until you can find a tutor." Moving her book restoration from her office to her study wouldn't be hard at all, and it would allow her to stay home to teach Gavin, and still do her work. A win-win, really.

"Yay! I wanna heal things, and do time stuff, and talk to animals like Karrik, but I can already kinda do that. KAW!" (Karrik would respond with a KAW of its own). "And I wanna fly, and set stuff on fire by looking at it. Oh oh and I wanna read minds, and and make cookies instantly! I don't wanna eat cookies instantly, because that's no fun. But I think flying would be fun. Oh and I wanna be able to talk to dragons."

Edward chuckles at his sons enthusiasm. The exuberance of youth was infectious. He digs into his breakfast, eating ravenously. Last nights exertions had certainly wore him out. He hoped he had a chance to be worn out again soon. He ponders what he should do with the rest of his day. Day being an utterly relative term for him. Might as well poll the room, she what answers he gets.
"Hmmm, I am not sure what I should do today. Suggestions?"

Reuna absorbed the list of things Gavin wanted to learn, and once the boy was done, spoke quietly. "I can't teach you all of those things, Gavin, but I'll do what I can." In fact there were quite a few things on that list she couldn't teach him.. speaking to animals technically wasn't even on it, though perhaps they could look into finding the boy a familiar. It might do him some good. She was just pondering how to put forth the idea when Edward spoke, and his question gave her an opportunity. "I was thinking.. perhaps Gavin should have a pet, or a familiar. Maybe you could take him into the city to look for one."

Edward looks at Gavin as he lists potential familiars. He then shoots a hapless glance at Reu. Good lord what had the woman done. On the one hand Gavin could likely use a pet all his own. On the other, Edward was just relearning how to be a responsible father. Adding taking care of a pet would test him. Still the boy seemed excited, and Edward was a chump. He need to set lines at some point or Gavin would get spoiled.
"Well lets start you with a pet Gavin. I think familiars can come later."
Edward finishes his breakfast. He gets up hugs Gavin good bye. Gives Reu a quick, though passionate kiss when his son isn't looking. Then Edward pops out of existence to find a suitable pet for Gavin.

"Yes, perhaps a familiar should wait until you're older. Usually a familiar chooses the mage, after all. That was how I found Karrik." Reuna looked fondly toward the raven where he saw on his perch, and he cawed at her. She offered a piece of bacon, and he flapped over, landing on her shoulder to take it. After she gently stroked his chest feathers, he flew away, back to his perch. She looked toward Edward, giving him a reassurance glance; she would, of course, help take care of any creature that the man got for his son. They were living in her home, after all.
Once breakfast was finished, Reu stood up and made to gather the dishes. Before she could, however, she found herself kissed, and when her lover drew away, she gave him a heated look that promised he'd get thanked for the kiss properly, later that night. When he disappeared, she resumed gathering the dishes, before moving to the kitchen to wash them. "So, Gavin, let's have our first magic lesson. Magic is in everything that lives, did you know that? Even Karrik has a little bit of magic." The bird flapped his way into the kitchen and settled on the bench within Gavin's reach, croaking softly.
"This is why it's possible to speak to animals. It takes a lot of practice, though. Why don't you start learning by opening yourself to the flow of magic around yourself, and that of Karrik, and trying to understand his words?" That should keep him busy for a little while. Keeping half an eye on bird and boy, she set about washing dishes, and making sure she had plenty of food for lunch and dinner. Hmm, she would need to go into the city for supplies, soon.

Gavin took a deep breath and closed his eyes. And he took another deep breath, while facing Karrik.
*Caw!* Gavin smirked as the raven teased him. He sat there and opened up his mind to the universe or whatever.
To be honest, this wasn't that hard. Gavin could already sense magical energies all around him. It was like a strange sort of comforting sensation. Magic just seemed like an old friend. This made sense since Gavin's creation involved amounts of magic unprecedented in history. He was surrounded by magic at the moment of conception.
That's when he realized he could already kinda understand Karrik.
*Caw!* Gavin snickered. "Karrik says he wants us to eat cookies for dinner tonight."
*KAWK!* Gavin snickered again. "Karrik says he didn't actually say that."
*Kawk... honk honk... buaaaa* "Karrik says that Roy's heart doesn't beat. He's sick."
At this point Karrik let out a long string of small honks and purring noising. "He says, the book of love is long and boring."

Reuna Laurént

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.

Reuna was listening as the boy spoke to Karrik, and chuckled, shaking her head at the obvious lie.. but then she went still as Gavin went on to say more things. Looking over her shoulder at him, those amethyst eyes narrowed. "..Impressive. It took me quite some time to be able to understand Karrik that clearly." As she dried her hands off, she turned and walked over to the table, sitting down and looking at Gavin thoughtfully. "Although I wish you to be very careful, we can work on setting things ablaze, now."
She gestured toward the fireplace, and a few logs from the woodpile floated over, settling themselves in a small pyramid formation. "Contrary to first impression, it isn't about sheer magic. It's about what you can do with magic. To create fire, you're actually making the air move fast enough that it catches fire." She pointed toward the fireplace, where a shimmering ward sprung up, to protect the rest of the kitchen should Gavin go.. overboard with his flames. "Try setting those logs on fire."

At first Gavin was excited, but when he actually tried focusing on setting the logs on fire, he felt stumped. He tried to make the air around the logs move at high speed, but all he did was toss the logs around. They bounced in and around the ward, making log noises.
"Hmm..." Gavin kept focusing, for at least a minute. All he did was make a mess of logs.
His face pouted in anger and he folded his arms. "I can't do it."

Reuna watched as the logs simply bounced around, rebounding off the fireplace walls and the ward. When his attempt was unsuccessful, she smiled, reaching over to gently stroke his hair. "It takes a lot of practice, Gavin. It was many months before I could do it, and I was much older than you when I began to learn. Don't rush to try and learn everything all at once.. you have an entire long lifetime ahead of you, to learn everything you could possibly dream of. I'm old, and I still learn new things every day." Leaning over, she pressed a soft kiss to his brow, then stood. "Do you want to come read a book in my study while I retrieve my work things from the Academy? I think I have a storybook that shows living pictures, somewhere."
