[color=39b54a]Meirin Kurenai[/color] Feeling Ssarak's hand on her shoulder Meirin knew that she had to let go of her anger. It wouldn't do her any good to flip out against Lucilia, partly because she is a teacher of the college, as well as the fact that even if they were to fight in a strait melee, Meirin knew that Lucilia's vampire strength could overcome Meirin's techniques. Perhaps when she was stronger in both magic and combat, Meirin could challenge Lucilia. But for now she'd need to let cooler heads prevail. [color=39b54a]"I'm still going to give her a piece of my mind! At least with Alaira we're more than capable of surviving the messes she gets herself into. But for her to endanger Lyn, I can't even begin to imagine what she was thinking! She always seemed like a reasonable woman. I don't know what got into her mind to let Lyn tag along on such a mission."[/color] Meirin fumed with anger and was still holding onto her weapon, but she was calming down step-by-step. She wanted to confront Lucilia about this, maybe not fight her, but to let her know that this is unacceptable. Though Meirin would need to think of a better way to prevent this from happening. [color=39b54a]"I don't want Lucilia to think that she could try pulling something like this off again. I never really thought about it until recently, but Lucilia does seem like the type of person who'd easily abuse or at least use her powers, both magical and authoritative, to get away with these things. And I want to make it clear to her that is not the case!"[/color] Meirin had her fill of corrupt government official in Djarkel. Lucilia would certainly fit there, but Meirin wasn't going to allow the worse of Djarkel seep into the College. She came here not only to learn about her magic, but to get away from all that. The manipulation and cold-hearted treatment of others. It was easy to abuse power and Meirin fought often not to do it herself. She didn't want to live under the rule of someone who would so easily misuse her skills to cause trouble for others. [color=39b54a]"Perhaps we could tell one of the other teachers first? We don't need to see Lucilia right now. We... We could go to Khan! I'm sure he'd listen, and he's the headmaster. I... I know it's our word against hers, but we have Alaira and Darius to back us up too. And as difficult as Alaira is, I'm sure even she could work with us to make sure that Lucilia get's a proper punishment. And maybe even Satori? She's a master Psychomancer, so I'm sure that she could use her magic to prove that we're telling the truth!"[/color]
