It was a rather nice day outside, especially once they got away from the crowded interstates and onto the smaller roads. Sam was driving his closest friend, Stevie, to the forest south of Fairfax, to their usual spot for when they wanted to get away from the city. They tended to avoid the common tourist trails and instead went to more secluded areas. Both of them were rather fond of nature, so hikes such as these were fairly common for them.

Sam had known Stevie for most of his life, as they were childhood friends. It was a relief to him when he learned she was attending the same college as himself, and that she was willing to be his roommate, both because it meant he would be able to split the substantial costs of living alone, and because he wouldn't have to say his goodbyes to her. For obvious reasons, they had been spending a lot more time together since moving to Fairfax, so they were even closer now than before. He would be lying to himself if he didn't admit he felt something...more for her, but he had not yet said anything about it, mostly because of his own fears.

Sam smiled and glanced over to Stevie, though he quickly shifted his attention back to the road. "So, where shall we go today? I doubt we will find anything as exciting as that fox we saw last time, but still. If we keep a good pace, we could make it to the river to the far side of the forest, or we could just head off in a random direction."
Alright, I will start on it in a moment.
Do you want to begin, or shall I?
Never mind, it's fixed.
Ahnasha nodded. "Yes, an older brother. He found more interest in the family business than hunting, though. I wouldn't say we didn't get along, we just had nothing in common. Still, I am grateful to him, in a way. Were it not for him, my parents probably would have stopped me from going off on my own into the wilds so much. As long as he was there to learn their trade, it mattered little what I did. I gave them all of the pelts I collected for free; I cared little about gold. Still don't."

The Khajiit smiled, thinking back fondly on some of her old memories. "I still remember those times, when I was out of the city. Even when I wasn't hunting, I loved every minute of it. I remember laying down by the water in the forest, closing my eyes and taking in all the sounds and scents around me. I remember listening to the songbirds chirp away around me while I took in the sweet scents of the flowerbed I was laying in. Sometimes I would chase around dragonflies, or see how long I could hold my breath at the bottom of a pond. It was simple pleasure, and I didn't have a care in the world. With my hunting skill, I could have survived in the wilds even as a cub. Then, I would return home only to hear my parents bicker over gold or business deals. Over time, I started to wonder...is it all even worth it? I mean, these 'civilized' people spend their entire lives worrying about gold and work and all that, and for what? A bigger house? More stuff? What does all of that even really mean in the end? Nature persists far beyond the works of man or mer, and unlike these civilizations, it is already in its own state of perfection. Why spend years working towards nothing when you can live every day for yourself, and your brothers and sisters. And you know what? All those things that I used to do that would make me so happy...I still do them now. There is no one to stop me or judge me. I mean, can you really say the same thing? Can you say you still do all the things you love to do without fear of being judged by 'society'?"
Now, I just need to figure out if I should post now, or wait until after the next demonstration. Leith already stepped out of the room, so Ssarak would no longer go over to him. If he saw Aruna, he would probably be concerned, but I don't know if Toxic is planning to do anything or not.

That's what Khan was thinking Elite and I thought you caught that. >_>


Ah, well...when I read that, I didn't think I had a lot of time, so I was rushing to get through everything.

Well, the intent was to have Satori teach both, but even if she can't teach the warding class, assuming she doesn't get killed or otherwise removed she's still going to teach Psychomancy.Like I said, Tin Foil Hat. Won't protect you directly, but it'll let you slip under their radar. It'll even help the new students control their powers. Yeah, Satori is totally going to give them all tinfoil and allowing them to make their own little hats.


Well, if she doesn't teach the warding class, Ssarak could still go to her and request private lessons, right?
I think it might be wise to defer to Fallen's suggestion of stopping the discussion.
Never mind, internet has been fixed.
