Penny looked up from where she was, to Jasmine. Penny had thought for sometime on how to help Jasmine with learning magic, and she wondered briefly just how she was going to do this. She’d learned fire magic by pure chance, at the need to protect herself, and her Phoenix Slayer magic… well. It wasn’t something anyone could have. She knew though that Jasmine needed to have a latent skill in fire magic… fire magic was… it was life. It was the need to protect, to avenge, to fight for everything you believed in, and do what you thought was right. 

Penny wasn’t sure what was right anymore. Could she genuinely teach Jasmine fire magic, if she didn’t… didn’t believe in it as she use to? 

She would do her best though. She had promised, and Penny was going to keep all her promises. She was taken from her thoughts by Ariel and Nolan’s arrival, guilt filling her at the sight of Ariel. She’d neglected her so much, the last few months… but Penny hadn’t been able to face coming back to the guild… she should have, to at least make sure Ariel was okay… she should have taken Ariel with her, but… She didn’t want to put her at anymore risk. 

Glancing away from the duo, Penny sighed softly. She’d made a mess of so many things… And she didn’t know how to begin fixing them. She hesitated, before she went over to Ariel and Nolan, hearing Sasha begin to explain what was happening, she stepped in, [color=lightcoral]”Can we talk, Ariel?”[/color]

Jamie looked up at the commotion Ferrin was making, reaching up to lay a hand against Jarvis chest, and gently push him back, [color=orae]”He’s upset, but he won’t get the drop on me.”[/color] she murmured to him, stepping towards Ferrin. 

She studied him a moment, before saying [color=orange]”it really is no secret, Ferrin. We’re going to Tenrou island to find out exactly what is happening there, and why it connects with everything that happened nearly a century ago. I am sure that you’d like to find out what is harming the island, given your connection to it”[/color] 

Nearby, Patrick stood listening, not even making an effort to pretend that he wasn’t.[/color][@Crimson Raven][@T2wave]
