"Kyr was now even more curious about this, ice diamond, he also wanted to know why she was giving it to him and what an ice golem was, but he settled for the last. "Kerien, what is an ice golem?" His voice had lost the fear and was now perfectly suited to the open expression of gleeful wonderment on Kyr's face. The expression was wiped clear rather quickly however, when she tossed it to him. Two thoughts flashed through his mind in almost the same instant; don't let it fall, can't let go. The result was that he did end up letting go with one hand and catching it neatly.
And now, he was well and truly stuck. With one hand, he clung to the glider and with the other he held the ice diamond. Kyr swallowed past the lump in his throat, ducking his head to hide the flash of anger he knew would show quite clearly in his expression. If he let go without permission he would choke, but if he told Lynexia why he remained where he was... Things could be much worse.

Lynexxia looked at Kyr for a few moments, "Are you okay? You can let go, you know..." she said as she walked over to make sure everything was okay. "Is there something wrong?" she asked, Kyr was one who seemed to act strange all the time and it interested her, she looked over Kyr to try and figure out what the problem was, her eyes probing almost, it was her job to make sure that her student was okay and safe before something bad would happen at The Academy and she wondered if she did her job completely.

Kyr was incredibly thankful for his dark skin as it hid the blush he could feel heating his face, but at least he could let go now. So he did, but slowly, so that she wouldn't think he had actually wanted to let go. Unable to look at her for the bitter embarassment he felt, the youth climbed down clumsily, using that time to take a few steadying breaths and to remind himself that she really was only trying to help. Still, it was so tempting just to run, to run as far and as fast as he could away from here, but there were others waiting for him and he didn't want another girl to go through what Esenya had.
"I-I'm fine, kerien, it's just..." Kyr never lied, never. It went against his nature and there was punishment, besides, he couldn't do it very well. "I've never been on one of those before." He managed to keep from mumbling, barely, and while not exactly answering the question, he did give an answer that might be taken as an explanation and, what was more, it was entirely truthful. Still, Kyr felt bad about the need to hide and that just got him angry again, so the smile he gave Lynexia was both obviously forced and rather more feral than he realised.

Lynexia knew that Kyr wasn't telling her something, "Listen, I need to make sure you're okay before we get to The Academy, I can't guarantee that everyone there would be so kind to you if they find any disadvantages that you have. Please tell me what the problem is." Her voice wasn't demanding, instead it was carrying in tone that one might expect a mother to have, she placed one hand on Kyr's shoulder. "Please? It'll be much easier if you'd try trusting atleast a few people." her voice wasn't urgent or commanding, she just wanted to make sure that Kyr was okay.

Well, he was listening and she did make a very good point. But he couldn't quite bring himself to divulge of his information. Kyr chewed on his lip, then actually bit it when he felt her hand on his shoulder. He flinched at the pain, but had to know. His brown eyes were wide, the fear in them a terrible contrast to the hard set of his jaw and the tension that would have become obvious to Lynexia the moment she touched him. "You don't know, kerien, you just don't know." His voice was little more than a whisper and the hand that wasn't holding the ice diamond came up to curl its fingers around the rope collar.
In a way, that simple gesture was all Lynexia needed for her answer though Kyr didn't realize it. His mind had shut down and he couldn't think through his options, couldn't even think for that matter. He wanted to tell her, wanted to find out that the solution would be in a simple wave of her hand and that hope was strangling him almost as effectively as the rope could, but he also couldn't bring himself too. After all, it was a very great disadvantage and no one had yet been able to 'negate' it, to use her earlier word. Suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes and he couldn't face her, Kyr pulled away turning to hide his face as he quickly wiped away the tears. It probably wouldn't have even been noticeable with the rain, but his not so suble actions made it obvious how he felt about the answer to her question. She had hit the nail on the head, it was an issue of trust, trust that wasn't there.

Lynexia had a slight moment when dispair flashed in her vision as her student acted in such a way and even though Kyr turned away, she wrapped her arms around him in a light hug. "Now then, I'll be needing to leave... feel free to go about The Academy as you wish." Lynexia had a guess on what was bothering Kyr and she paused a moment as she began walking away, no longer hugging her troubled student, "One more thing... don't let whatever it is that's causing you to be this way... don't let it controll you, only do what it is you want to. I hope whatever your problem is, that it gets solved." she said to him with a smile and a nod before walking away, hoping she hadn't done him any harm. It seemed like there was something to do with commands... what if someone commanded him to be selective in what he did? Wouldn't he have to? She shook her head, hoping she hadn't done something wrong. She had picked up the glider and she carried the large device on her back, normally it could be guessed to weigh several hundred pounds and yet, this fragile woman was able to carry it effortlessly, many suprises were in store at Twilight Moon Academy. Lynexia paused just out of sight, waiting a few moments to make sure that Kyr really was okay, her purple eyes glinted with worry for her new student, she really was a teacher that cared too much for her students.

Kyr stiffened and relaxed in almost the same instant when Lynexia hugged him, he knew she cared or at least it was something akin to caring, but it wasn't her that was the problem, it was him. He would have to fix that soon, he decided, since Lynexia would likely be able to offer a great deal of good advice, if he was willing to listen. As so he did, eyes widening in surprise at what she said. If he could convince himself that she had just given a command, she might have helped him already, but it was too soon to tell for sure. He turned as she pulled away, watching her silently as she carried off the glider and disappeared into the mist.
"Kerien!" He rushed a step or two after her, not wanting to see the only person he knew walk away, but stopped quickly, knowing that she had other things to do and she had said that he would have a class with her. So he glanced in her direction one last time and whispered, "Anara kerien, thank you." Before setting himself back around and heading to the Academy. Kyr had arrived.
