- ⓘ Bill is now known as Balthazar
- 16:01:49
- * Balthazar sits patiently in the seat at Acadia's, watching her as she does her magic. His expression is as unmovingly patient as ever.
- 16:01:51

- 16:10:21Balthazar
- "You have a lovely home," he muses.
- 16:10:53Acadia_Belle
- Acadia walks around him, occasionally dabbing him with liquid from one of many bottles, casting a charm, or muttering to herself.
- 16:11:13
- "Thank you," she says, distracted. "Dis is a very complex seal. I don' think I can remove it on my own, even wit' de book."\
- 16:11:55Balthazar
- "Mm..." he says. "Well, I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Perhaps it's for the best."
- 16:12:59Acadia_Belle
- She slams a book shut. "I might need help from... a light mage."
- 16:14:20Balthazar
- "Oh?"
- 16:15:21Acadia_Belle
- "Dere is much dark magic kin do, but for uncursing an' breaking down de seal, I tink light magic would be best. It can counter de darkness even if we don't have de spell known exactly."
- 16:17:26Balthazar
- "I do know someone who may be more familiar with how it works. To tell the truth I never thought to look into it," he says. "Of course, if you're looking for a way to break it, she might not want to tell you."
- 16:18:02
- * Acadia_Belle frowns. "What is her name?"
- 16:18:36Balthazar
- "Adey, I believe," he says.
- 16:19:28
- * Acadia_Belle considers. "Someone I haven't burned bridges wit', den. Good."
- 16:20:06Balthazar
- "Oh, you know her?" he asks.
- 16:20:39Acadia_Belle
- "No. Which is best. I don' usually get along wit' light mages."
- 16:20:49
- "De sensitive ones tend to start bleeding."
- 16:21:50Balthazar
- "Is this a figure of speech or something literal?" he asks. "I'm afraid I might not pick up."
- 16:22:21Acadia_Belle
- "Literal. Someone untrained and sensitive almost died just from being around me."
- 16:22:49Balthazar
- "Oh dear. I suppose that might be an issue on the hiking..."
- 16:23:30Acadia_Belle
- "Why?"
- 16:23:53Balthazar
- "Well, I was planning on going hiking with her sometime soon and was thinking of inviting you. So she has someone to talk with apart from me."
- 16:24:12
- "Do you like hiking, by the way?" he asks. "I suppose I should have asked that before inviting in the first place..."
- 16:24:50Acadia_Belle
- "I was born on de steppe. I am used to a great deal of walking." She smiles.
- 16:25:54Balthazar
- "Well, would you like to come hiking, then?" He asks.
- 16:26:25Acadia_Belle
- "Of course. I could use de opportunity to gather fresh herbs."
- 16:27:20Balthazar
- He smiles and he nods. "Excellent. It will be a nice change of pace. She's been tailing me for over a century and I'm afraid that as I haven't been outside of the city in some time..."

- ⓘ Guest8753 is now known as Lithe
- 16:28:47Lithe
- (Mind if I jump in?)
- 16:29:37Acadia_Belle
- (Fine with me. Bill?)
- 16:31:14Balthazar
- ((Yep!))
- 16:33:33Balthazar
- ((Go roight ahead))
- 16:34:32
- ⓘ Lithe is now known as Kaikara
- 16:36:03Kaikara
- As they speak, Acadia feels a pair of arms wrap around her waist as well as a kiss on the back of her neck as a beautiful African wolf, stark naked, walks up behind her and embraces her. "Hello darling..." Kai coos in her ear. She then looks to Balthazar. "Oh! We have company," she says with a smile,
- 16:36:32Balthazar
- "Hello," he says, completely unphased by the presence of the naked wolf.
- 16:37:41Balthazar
- "I don't believe we've met."
- 16:37:45
- * Acadia_Belle smiles, ears twitching as she tries not to react. "Dis is Kaikara."
- 16:37:58Acadia_Belle
- "She is a terrible influence on me."
- 16:38:27Balthazar
- "I see. Friends?"
- 16:38:49Kaikara
- "An influence you do nothing but indulge in, for hours and hours on end," she reminds, nipping her ear. "Much, much closer than that," she says to Balthazar with a cheeky smile. "What brings you by?"
- 16:39:31Balthazar
- "Well, Acadia and some of her friends have taken a bit of an interest in me with regards to magic. She was examining me."
- 16:40:02Acadia_Belle
- "His magic has been sealed by de strongest seals I have ever seen."
- 16:42:31Kaikara
- "Mm... Perhaps I can take a look..." she says. "Let me go dress and I will meet you in a moment," she says, running a finger down Acadia's back and off her tail as she walks away to get dressed.
- 16:43:17
- * Acadia_Belle watches her go, enjoying the view.
- 16:43:38Balthazar
- "Is she magically inclined, as well?"
- 16:44:25Acadia_Belle
- "Very. She is a master of Void magic."
- 16:45:46Balthazar
- "Ahh," he says, nodding. "Are most of your friends magical? All of the ones I've met seem to be."
- 16:46:43Acadia_Belle
- "Mm. People with de touch for magic tend to get drawn together."
- 16:47:17Balthazar
- "Yes, that only makes sense..." he says, glancing at the threads. "That is how we met, after all."
- 16:48:50
- * Kaikara returns a few minutes later, wearing her necklaces and wrist bands, wearing simple yet elegant wrappings around her chest and hips, covering the more intimate parts, but still leaving little to the imagination. "Shall we?" she asks.
- 16:49:46
- * Acadia_Belle nods.
- 16:49:53Balthazar
- "By all means," he says politely.
- 16:53:01Kaikara
- He is lead into another area of the house where Balthazar is sat on the floor in the center of the room, Kai sitting in front of him. "We will take a look at the seals placed on you..." she says, extending her upturned hands. "Take my hands, please..."
- 16:53:41Balthazar
- He smiles and sits down, taking her hands. His hands are very soft, his grip so gentle she almost doesn't feel them touching her. Physically, at least. The magic, however, she can feel plenty.
- 17:24:29Balthazar
- (poke?)
- 17:27:29Acadia_Belle
- (prod)
- 17:27:39Balthazar
- ((Lithe doesn't seem to be responding on Skype either))
- 17:30:46Acadia_Belle
- (Hm.)
- 17:30:54
- (I hope Lithe is okay)
- 17:31:09Balthazar
- ((he's probably fine))
- 17:31:20Kaikara
- (Sorry about that, mom wanted to chat)
- 17:32:13Balthazar
- ((not a problem!))
- 17:32:20Kaikara
- "Mm... you have bountiful magic... I am curious as to why you have seemingly lost your connection..." she says. She closes her eyes and focuses her energies, channeling them through Balthazar and projecting what she sees out for the three of them.
- 17:32:49Balthazar
- "Well, an order of mages sealed it. Or was it an order of sages... I've forgotten their name."
- 17:36:03Kaikara
- Suddenly, a dark door appears above them, locked and chained. It lurches and shifts, but does not open, the chains rattling and shaking. Dust appears to fall off of it. From behind it, something dark, vile and evil growls and whispers of madness and chaos. Kai scowls. "...I think it best we leave this door shut, until we have others to help contain what lay beyond."
- 17:36:27Balthazar
- "Mmm..." he muses. "Yes... it's probably for the best."
- 17:37:16
- He looks at the door, and an oddly troubled expression passes his face.
- 17:43:03Balthazar
- "Yes..." He looks at the Kaikara and Acadia. "I'd like to thank you both."
- 17:43:32Kaikara
- The connection is severed, Kai giving a small sigh and a smile. "It was a learning experience. I should be the one thanking you."
- 17:43:54Acadia_Belle
- "I am doing zis because it's interesting. An' I like breaking seals." she winks.
- 17:44:47Balthazar
- "If you want to know more about the seal, you might ask Adey. She shouldn't be very far from me. She's likely keeping herself occupied somewhere nearby."
- 17:46:14Kaikara
- "Mm..." She then looks to Acadia. "Since you enjoy cracking seals... I have one for you to split open," she winks cheekily. "Though that will require more... in-depth and private sessions."
- 17:47:05Acadia_Belle
- "I am getting quite a bit of experience with that~"
- 17:48:41Balthazar
- "Ohhh," he says, nodding. "Innuendo?"
- 17:48:50
- "Is that my cue to leave? I don't wish to overstay my welcome."
- 17:49:40Acadia_Belle
- "We were going to go on a hike, non?"
- 17:51:33Balthazar
- "Well, not immediately. I need to inform Adey of the plans, find a schedule that works for both of you..."
- 17:51:51
- "I mean, we *could* go right away if that's okay with both of you, but I didn't wish to assume."
- 17:53:16Kaikara
- "I have no other plans, unless she wishes to show her teacher what she has learned," she says with a smile.
- 17:53:17
- → Acadia_Belle_ has joined
- 17:55:02Balthazar
- "Oh, you'd like to come as well?" he asks. He seems to like this news.
- 17:55:11
- ← Acadia_Belle has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
- 17:55:26
- ⓘ Acadia_Belle_ is now known as Acadia_Belle
- 17:56:53Balthazar
- "That's good. I was worried that it would be a problem. Adey doesn't seem to like me very much," he explains. "So I hope having two other people might give her some better company."
- 17:59:48Kaikara
- "It would be a good opportunity to get some fresh air," she nods. "You should probably inform your friend."
- 18:03:03Balthazar
- "I will," he says, standing up. "It was nice to meet you, Kaikara."
- 18:05:01Kaikara
- "Likewise," she says, shaking his hands gently.
- 18:05:58Balthazar
- "Well, I'll be going, then. I'll inform Adey and then we can arrange a time and place to go."
- 18:10:55Balthazar
- He turns to Acadia and bows his head politely. "Thank you once again."
- 18:12:21Acadia_Belle
- Acadia tilts her head. "Mm. Of course. You can come over venever. If you hear screaming, wait for it to stop, yes?"
- 18:12:36Balthazar
- "...I will remember that, yes." He smiles and nods.
- 18:13:56Balthazar
- And with that, he nods politely and turns to leave. "Oh..." he stops himself, producing a bolt of white cloth. "For you," he says, handing it to Acadia.
- 18:14:18Acadia_Belle
- She takes it. "Oh! Zis is made from ze threads zat you can see?"
- 18:14:28Balthazar
- He nods. "That is correct."
- 18:14:53Acadia_Belle
- "Interesting."
- 18:15:38
- "I want to study it. De magic and de material. Maybe I can make a nice gift for someone special, non?" She winks at Kai
- 18:17:01Kaikara
- She returns the wink. "The cloth is lovely, Balthazar. It is greatly appreciated."
- 18:17:04Balthazar
- He smiles. "That sounds lovely. I'd be happy to give you more if you'd like to make something from it."
- 18:18:36Balthazar
- "Well, I'll be going now. Have a nice day." And with that, he turns to go.
