"Then finally your choices are Puppetmaster or Survival." He said, his eyes looking through the fog towards the spires of Twilight Moon Academy that were manifesting themselves in the dissapearing fog. "And there she is, Twilight Moon Academy. " He said and it was obvious that they were moving faster than they were walking, and underneath them wasn't just air, now that the fog was clearing away you could see that there was a pathway of more fog moving them like a conveyor towards the building. Considering the fact that Makashi was a water dragon, it was likely that he was responsible for the unusual bridge. There was a light laugh from Makashi then as he noticed someone seated on the shore, "And there she is!" he repeated the sentance with special inflection on the word 'she' indicating it was different from the previous address.
Seated on the shore with an impatient expression was a woman clothed in red and black, her blue green eyes looking impatiently towards Makashi for a few moments before shifting towards the student. Her hair was cut short and was black as a rook's feathers. She had a pair of ears perched atop her head, tall and pointed and vulpine that swivveled to tune in specifically on the pair. She looked less than pleased at the moment, though considering the moderately sized bump of a belly that seemed out of place for her, being of a slender build other than that one feature- she must have been pregnant and finding that she had many things to be less than pleased about. "That is my wife, Akira." Makashi explained, looking fondly towards the woman for a few moments. "Now then, I believe you still have your final class to decide upon though."

He had never seen a building, but, like with the ships, Theo had seen them in books. The Kirin found them a mix of both repulsive and silly. Trees were more efficient and less harmful. No doubt this was built by a species with lesser knowledge, such as a human. Theo shook his head, but didn't say a word. When Makashi repeated himself in a different manner, he focused on the distance. A lady came into view. He addressed her as his wife, and she did not seem pleased. As if flicking away a fly, Theo's tail twitched in an annoyed manner. "Hello Akira.." He stated quietly before getting back to the matter of classes. "Puppetry?" He seemed shocked, appalled. Teaching such a forbidden art? Theo stopped and stared at the other. "The art of controlling others against their will... why would you teach students this? Its against moral belief in most cultures. Its an offense that could get you tortured, let alone killed.. or do you take it differently here?" Maybe he made a bad choice. If he returned home from a school that taught this he would be condemned if not killed. It wouldn't matter if he studied it or not.

"No, no, Puppetmaster teaches to manipulate armed and enchanted marionettes, using them as extra hands in a battle, or even for more mundane reasons." Makashi explained, finding that his student's entire idea of what the class was as a bit rediculous, "And I believe this class is your last choice, make it and you can be loosed on Twilight Moon Academy." Makashi sseemed rather fine with such a notion and he hopped from the walkway and landed firmly on the grass lawn.
Akira didn't say much, though her gaze was fierce and strong like a force of nature as she looked judgementally towards Theo. Her eyes sharp and blue green, intelligent and calculating in stark contrast to the general feeling that was given by Makashi that seemed trustworthy, though perhaps a tad off putting. "Congratulations." Akira said with a calm nod to Theo, a cordial smile to the student. Akira was very much a demon.

Theo looked at him rather surprised. The other looked at him in nearly the same manner. Theo supposed they didn't have such a magic in this realm. How fortunate. He hung his head in thought. "Puppetmastery... Survival seems pointless for myself." He grumbled to himself before looking up. Akira's eyes made his skin crawl and his own eyes narrowed. Demons were almost as disgusting as humans. "Thank you.." He stepped onto the lawn and away from her. Theo didn't like her right away. She made his skin crawl, but most demons did. Ears and tail both flicking in annoyance, he turned to Makashi. "Anything else?"

"Nothing else, you're welcome to go explore Twilight Moon." Makashi nodded to Theo, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to." he said with a slight dip of the head, taking a testing step towards the palatial school bulding, not willing to leave till he was quite aware that Theo didn't need any more help.
"And this is for the new student." Akira said with a smile on her face as the minor hostility melted away and she held a small leather drawstring satchel, looking to be very much handmade though Akira's slender, soft hands didn't appear at all to be made for leatherwork so it was likely not something that she, herself did. She must have acquired it somehow.

"Thank you" He nodded curtly to Makashi and was about to turn and walk away, to explore the outside before daring inside the.. building. He would have to get used to that word. It looked as cold and had a ring just as odd as the school looked. Then Makashi's wife spoke and Theo turned back. She held out a satchel. The one he had himself was full with the minimal things he brought here but could not hold much more. He was hesitant in taking it. She had such cruel eyes earlier and they were no more, he didn't want them to return, but he was finding it was hard to trust the gift. The Kirin-Faun took it in the end and placed it over his shoulder to sit on the one he had himself. "Thank you, Akira" He stated in a manner that was both nearing emotionless but filled with suspicion and apprehension, not at all unusual for his cautious kind. In truth, he did appreciate it. The one Theo owned now was on its last legs.
