*smiles at the newcomer*

Same here, I'm Alanna by the way.

so Lohan i haven't seen you around here before, are you new in town or just returing from a visit?

*enters quietly and moves to a table. Piles her plate high with food and sits down to eat.*

I am new to the Guild, I was tested for magical ability a few years back and my parents decided now was the time to send me to learn

*Ecg's familiar, eal, has slithered into the kitchen, via an aquaduct pipe, and is munching on fish pieces and other choice discards.*
Apparently Ecg forgot to take the eel with him on his Paroda trip...

*looks at the eel with interest*

[Eal]: ~Er,- hi.~
*Continues munching on things.*
Eal is several feet long, with short ridge spines, and paddle-like fins. The overall color is gray and blue with silvery accent/highlights on the spines.

*eyes widen a little with shock*

~~Hello, master eel....I was wondering, I am new here and looking for somebody to teach me. I am lost and have nobody to ask, do you know where I can find someone to talk to?~~

[Eal]: *Pauses from eating , entrails and the like, for a few moments, to peer up.*
~What school of magic,- is it that you are taking lessons in?~

~~None as of yet *wry smile* but I hope to become a scholar or healer~~

*Alanna notices Lohan's glance towards the kitchen and turns around. Her eyes widen instinctively, then she recogniseds Eal and grins*

Eal, I didn't expect to see you here! Ecg's abandoned you has he?

*glances at Alanna then looks back at the eel*

*tom moves towards Lohan* dont worry you get used to all this, so you want to become a scolar or a healer, hmm, what made you decide to go down that route?

I...er...I love to read and I can get quite passionate about learning everything there is to know on a certain subject; and I think there is something noble to the cause of healing, my Lord

very nobel of you, you dont need to call me Lord, Tom will do fine. If you want to get some experence in healing you should have a look at the healing halls

[Eal]: ~No, Miss Alanna,- Ecg has left me behind because he does not think the mouth to a volcanic crater is a good place for a fish. I do think he may fancy you a bit. He'd probly boil me, or something_ he found out I said that.~

Thank you er....Lo..I mean Tom

What do you study or teach?

[Eal]: ~library. End of the hall,- the other way. ~
*Finishes eating his fill of fishparts, and meat scraps.*
(Then to Alanna) : ~How does thee fare?~

I am a caretaker, that means I look afther animals, a sort of animal healer, there are other parts such as talking to animals, and sumoning animals

*a sparkle in his eyes Lohan looks up briefly...his eyes are startlingly green*

How..how interesting, please tell me more
