Jatza stood waiting for her mentor, shivering. She had not brought a cloak, and her dress was made for the summery weather of Zepryth, not wind. She looked up at the sky as she felt sprinkles of water falling. She sighed, exasperated. Her mother had insisted the weather would be nice, and look where that got her. Now she was under a tree, just waiting, hoping her teacher would show up soon. She closed her eyes, dozing off. Soon, though, the thunder woke her, and she thought it would be unwise to sleep under a tree in case lighting struck it. Instead, she stayed awake, leaning against a stone block about six feet tall.

A head popped out from behind the rock, he looked to be perhaps in his early twenties, maybe late teens and his hair was a blueish green tint, tied back and away from his face which was covered with light turquoise tattoos, some sort of respirator covered his mouth, honestly looking like a gasmask of some sort, markings on it as well. His deep purple eyes looked over Jatza for a few seconds, he wore some sort of sleeveless uniform with a gray scarf looped around his neck. The uniform consisted of a long, black jacket with silver details around the bottom hem and on his chest, dark red over his upper chest. His pale arms had light blue green tattoos as well, the odd person's right ear was chewed up considerably but he was elven, goddammit! His long, pointed ears were quirked, left ear higher than the other, "Well then, you be this... Jatza lass?" He asked with some kind accent, Scottish perhaps? Maybe Irish. When he spoke though, his voice was muffled slightly from the strange mask... thing that he wore on his face. He made his way accross the top of the stone, he must have been one hell of a climber, though since he was no more that five feet and perhaps two inches tall, he slid the few inches over the rock face to the ground and the question remained- why didn't he just walk around? The stranger, presumably Jatza's teacher smiled as he stood there, awaiting an answer.
(I actually drew this teacher before roleplaying him! ^^)

"Yes, I am Jatza, princess of the kingdom of Zepryth, master of the Lethal Lullaby. You are my teacher, yes?" Jatza talked nobly, like the heiress to the throne she was. She studied him closely; he didn't look like the elvin teachers she had seen in Zepryth. She wondered about his right ear; maybe some creature had torn it up? If so, he must be a skilled young man.
"I will learn from you, won't I?" Jatza was talking to herself, so she wasn't expecting an answer, but she recieved one anyway.

"Of I am! And of course ye will!" he said joyously, obviously thinking it a series of somewhat amusing questions, His ears twitched slightly and he looked accross the water and into the mist, presumably towards Twilight Moon Academy. He then averted his purple gaze back to his student and smiled, "We should be gettin' on our way then to th'Cademy..." he said under his breath and he scratched his shoulder, "Might you have any means to transport yourself? Or will I have need to ferry you accross m'self?" He asked, an eyebrow cocked.
He had a cacophany of odd mannerisms that made him seem somewhat childish, yet without the bumbling manner that children seem to develop and keep till they reach adulthood. His sideways smirk seemed to be effortlessly splayed accross his face and his eyes revealed a somewhat mischevious nature, while in thier depths they were utterly serious. He was an odd one indeed, and certainly unpredictable. There were two kinds of elves, the tall and elegant kind of serious nature, as well as the shorter and more carefree; he was obviously a member of the latter.

"Sorry, sir, but I'm afraid we'll have to take the ferry. I didn't bring any transportation. Also, I'm afraid I didn't catch your name," Jatza said apologetically.
Jatza was the complete opposite of her teacher; revered, regal, and silent. She idolized him already for rebeling against the stereotypical version of an elf that she was. She hated everything in her that was normal and serious. She hoped that by learning from him, she could become the image of the rebellious elf she longed to be.

"My name is on strictly a need to know basis, and honestly- you really don't need to be knowin' it quite yet." He said to his student, he wasn't in the habit of just leaving his name out on the line for anyone to pick it up- he'd learned that sometimes, they might not give it back. He smiled though, the fact was that even though he wasn't going to trust anyone, not even a student with his name just yet, it didn't mean he'd be mean to anyone. "So then..." He raised his hand to his face and gently stroked his chin as if he had some kind of super villian goatee and he looked towards the water then at the ground, to the water, to the wooden planks, "To be gettin' accross..." he mumbled to himself, obviously he hadn't thought everything through to it's fullest. It could be left to be questioned how he actually got there in the first place and all that could be said about that concept was it should probably have best been left alone. His feet shifted thier placement as he began to delve into thought, obviously when he said 'ferry' it didn't mean he had an actual ship or boat... or large peice of floating debris either.
His ears twitched in protest to the brainstorming for ideas, they seemed content with... well they seemed to be dancing, believe it or not! One flicked up, then down whilst the other was in unison with the exact opposite motion of down and up. He blinked as he looked into the mist, then again, continueing the motion to look back towards the shipyard. His ears continued thier harmonious twitching as his mind contined to traverse the odd realm known as thought, he reached into his pocket to find no cash... that wasn't exactly helpful... He shook his head, "Well then ye wee lass, any ideas besettling your mind for a way 'cross to the School that be awaitin' us?" he asked Jatza as he cocked his head to the side slightly like a confused puppy.
Different people who walked around the shipyard whispered to each other, a few pointed to the light blue-green haired elf, "Still crazy as usual..." came one of the voices of the people. The teacher of course acted as if he hadn't heard, his ears became stationary though which showed he had obviously heard. He continued though to think through and rethink the problem at hand, his purple eyes stared into the distance, he couldn't be bothered with sight right now so he cut off that ability temporarily, ignoring what he saw all together.
A small group of children laughed slightly as they walked past and the elf's eyebrows twitched now, maybe once or twice and he was gone from the deep sense of thought he had been in seconds ago, if not for only a few seconds. He wore a blatant expression of aggitation on his face though he didn't look towards the children, only mumbling to himself, "I'm not bloody crazy..." under his breath. Unfortunately, whenever someone said such a thing- they were considered crazy.

"Well, sir, I have no idea. You are the teacher. Don't you have some sort of . . . spell or something that could transport us across? How were you going to get us across if I did have a way to get across? Also, excuse me for being forward, but is there something wrong with your ears? As you know, I have just recovered from Zeprythian pnuemonia, and I'm still very vulnerable to infections," Jatza said.
Jatza didn't mean to sound rude; she actually felt sorry for him. She didn't think he was crazy, she just was curious. Jatza was always curious, about everything. That made her seem like a nosy snob, but she wasn't. She just loved questions.

"Oh! Nothin to worry 'bout, whydya ask?" he seemed to be paying half attention for the moment and it seemed almost as if it hadn't been there for a while, his entire facial expression visable despite the gasmask that covered the lower half of his face. It was odd, such a thing should be easily noticeable- in fact, the only thing most people noticed but yet... it hardly seemed there...
He began walking away, "come on, I've got an idea..." he said, leaning foreward in his walk like a dog pulling on it's leash. There was nothing wrong with his ears, they were just... odd, almost with a life of thier own which was certainly exceedingly strange, but in case nobody noticed, he was considered exceedingly strange around here.

"I ask because it's normal to ask your teacher about things. And you're my teacher. But anyway, I'm following."
Jatza walked elegantly, the white petals trailing on the rough ground. She looked down. Would they shred on this terrain? The petals were used to the soft, bouncy ground of the Zepryth Forest, but they were enchanted, so perhaps they would survive. She wondered what the other students looked like. Maybe they would think she was snobby, or weird for dressing this way?
"You musn't think this way, Jatza," she murmured under her breath, not loud enough for her teacher to hear.

His eyes glanced back at Jatza and then towards the ships and he smiled, one was pulling away from the ghost shipyard and he reached into the folds of his jacket and withdrew three axes, they were more properly known as franciscas. "Come on then!" He said, a laugh catching in the end of his voice and he broke into a run, "Hope your grip is okay!" He then tossed the weapons into the air, one at a time and they stuck into the back of the ship. He ushered his student to hurry up, they were gonna hitchhike thier way... though the many errors of this idea hadn't yet occurred to him yet... he figured he'd work them out on the way. He got firm grip on one of the handles, leaving the other two for the lady, the ship had just started moving so it was close enough for him to still stand on the wooden planks of the shipyard.
He really did seem quite insane to be honest.

"Well, you're in luck. As an elf, my grip is excellent. You should know that!" She grabbed a hold of the two he so kindly left for her, not needing the other one, but not wanting to be rude. She was surprised at this way of transportation, but she believed in her teacher, as she was taught before, and decided that he was going to be a good teacher, even if he was a little weird.

The ship began to pick up speed and he raised his finger over his lips to signal that Jatza should be quiet. In case nobody noticed- they weren't exactly supposed to be there, his purple gaze skimmed over the water, "Well then... we should probably start working on your class schedule sometime soon... Everyone has some mandatory classes, like potionry, weaponry, alchemy, and a Master Class in which I'll be helping you controll your unique abilities. After that you have classes you choose.
Seventh Period!: Music, History, Potionry!
Eighth Period!: Holy, Flare, Summoning!
Ninth Period!:Dragoon, Samurai, Theivery!
and then tenth period is either survival class or puppetmaster class ye'll be makin' the choices for what you want for your other classes, the missin' fifth mandatory class 'ould 'ave to be a break period for pretty much wha'ever you want...
so then, what classes are you going to be taking?" He certainly had an od manner of speaking, even though he whispered the entire time, some moments he might as well have been shouting with how his voice carried.

"I'll take music, holy, and samurai, along with survival, thank you," whispered Jatza. She was looking over the water with great longing in her eyes. Living in a forest her entire life, the biggest body of water she'd ever seen was a lake. The ocean smells and sounds were overwhelming to her.

He nodded as he looked around him for a few seconds, "I'll write out a schedule when I be 'avin a free 'and to do so." he said cheerfully as he began swinging his weight on the axe that he hung from, the blade coming loose from the side of the ship and he swung so that the blade came out and he promptly struck the ship again, he was making his way along the side of the boat- why was a mystery. "Try to follow, just whatever you do- don't fall." His voice was utter seriousness when he said the whole 'don't fall' deal, so it was probably best to be extra careful not to.
The truth was that... well... this particular vessel wasn't even headed for the Academy, which was another problem that had to be faced. The teacher who was to this point without a name was making his way to one of the small rowboats that hung off the side, he planned to... aquire one which could be used to well... they were going to row to the school. That was his plan and he honestly thought it was a fairly good one.

"Okay, I can wait. I promise I won't fall."
Jatza skillfully grabbed the other blade and swung the one she was holding first over more. She then swung the second one closer, but not over, the first one. She could have just as easily done it with one, but she did not want to leave the weapon behind. It could have sentimental value to him, as she noticed this one was unusually wore down, as opposed to the almost-new condition of the other two.
