h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

[Eal]: *Goes ~}Ulp!{~*

[Eal]: ~Unagi-san would fuss a lot if he knew we were watching him while practicing fighting, but he seemed very wrapt at trying to absorb as much as he could out of those s which you have assigned to him-just awhile ago. I get the feeling that he is going to give it his all out there...at throwing himself at the learning curve, if you will...~
*nods a bit by bobbing his head.*
~You might want to see him fighting sometime... I'm almost positive that he'll start trying to incorporate those some of those beginner elemental spells into his attack combinations...soon.~
*ducks back a bit.*

He should be studying not fighting, he can't cast spells properly yet so he should be practising them not with a sword

[Eal]: ~I suppose then that-maybe he will have to learn it the hard way. Perhaps it would settle into his thick- best if...~ *Does not finish the sentence because he is pretty sure that Lady Shaylar already knows kind of what the rest of it will be-in her mind.*

[Eal]: ~Ah, yes Ma'am,-well You see, that is the thing of it... curiously it would seem that Ecg is not opting to try out the spells through a weapon persay, so much as...~ but Eal cannot detect much more than this*

[Eal]: ~...~

[Ecg]: *likewise goes ~...~, but from a further distance away.*

If I took him to Outpost Versx and left him there, would anyone miss him?

[Eal]: (mischievously, though trying to remain sounding neutral): ** ~Mayybe... Coincidentally what is this Outpost Versx thing anyways Lady Shaylar?~

[Eal]: { ~Oh! he's just trying to practice some of them off in a corner, away from everyone else (odd, trying to stay out of trouble...).~

<... >

[eal]: ~Ma'am, this is strange, but... I've no idea what it is that he is about to do next.~

[Ecg Unagi]: *His curiosity has been piqued* "Hello Ma'am... (I've realized that I had not been dissmissed yet, had I? Oops. ). I was wondering... Is there a way to create fog-using water spells? Or to generate foot & handholds out of rockfaces?"

It's an outpost in the clouds

[Ecg]: "..."

<...>

*Ecg enters the library too embarassed to say anything else until directly addressed, in this way acknowledging an awareness to his profound lack of knowledge in magic.* *lowers his head, but will not refuse to give eye-contact if he is going to be spoken too...*

[Eal]: *Goes off down the pipe to look at the supposed aftermath of what must have gone on in the arena...*

*Ecg stands there silently, the only thing that seems to be moving about him is his shadow (<due to ambient lighting perhaps?&gt.*
*Broods*

Aren't you supposed to be studying?
