That’s why they make sure a Plant mage is always here you know?”[/color] She held out her hand to shake his. The nails were bit short and a few flecks of dirt had made their way underneath them. [color=8dc73f]“Scarlet May, plant mage and the head of the gardening association here at Noila. Your problem isn’t going to go away until your get your magic under control a bit more unfortunately. All you can do right now is figure out a few calming exercises. I have a pamphlet with a few if you’d like.”[/color] Salem took her hand shook it, noting the flecks of dirt, and her attire which proved she was more hands on than some care to be.[Color=598527]"Salem Spellman, it's a pleasure to meet you Scarlet. I am glad to hear I'm not the only one who has struggled with this dilemma."[/color] his voice was smooth and collected now as his muscles began to relax having heard it was a natural part of being a plant mage. Validation, Salem always sought it as a refuge, some way to know he isnt a disgrace; especially if that validation didnt come with a price, meaning he wasnt a means to an end. [Color=598527]"I think those pamphlets sound like a great idea, honestly. I typically go the herbal route, calming teas, less caffeinated diet, and tinctures if I need it. After all, every bit helps. I wonder if you would also, by any chance, happen to have anything on controlling ones magic? Being able to, not just suppress it, but channel it, and embrace it. When [i]I[/i] care to, and not just as a defense mechanism."[/color] It was at that moment something began to catch his eye. A light source that grew brighter and brighter by the second, then suddenly a luminous flash and then nothing. Once the Salem's eyes began to correct themselves from having stared into the flash, he saw that Aaron Starag was behind it. [Color=598527][i]Of course it was him, why wouldnt a well versed mage from a noble family be showing off. Damn if he isnt impressive though, perhaps he can show me control when classes arent in session...who am I kidding, noble like him wouldnt look my way.[/i][/color] Salem shook his head slightly, as if to rid himself of the thoughts, then looked back towards Scarlet, pointing at Aaron [color=598527]"That is what I need. Control, even the smallest bit will help. Also...today is my first day and I was wondering if you could tell me anything about my partner? I havent had the chance to meet him yet."[/color] Salem pulled out the photo with his name and handed it to Scarlet for inspection.
