Year Five

Ioth stood at the end of the ceremonial hall, giving his speech and I could not help but look away. My eyes wandered over the different people sitting around me. Cuan was sitting nearby, quietly spinning a ring on his finger and looking about as interested in this as I was. Neodym was a little farther down, sitting with some others I recognized from the codex.
 
The Codex. Cuan had invited me to join this... interesting group of people just a few weeks ago. Apparently they were some of the best magic users in the academy, or at least the most academically advanced. That would be useful to me. My eyes wandered from Neodym to the others. A boy with short brown hair and large glasses with his eyes glued to the headmaster... Kraius? Garnet... Athalor... Arianna? I watched the girl snap at someone else nearby who shrunk away from her. I looked away from her, a smirk threatening to pull on my lips.
 
My eyes settled on the last. I recognized him briefly as Alyxander. The defacto leader of all of these kids. He didn't look like much now but... Sitting next to him was a wiggly girl, who looked very excited to be there. She looked around with wide and happy eyes, and noticed my own narrowed crimson eyes on Alyx. They shifted to hers immediately without so much as a blink. Daggers. Who do you think you're looking at like that. Her eyes widened and she looked away again.
 
I leaned back into myself, setting an elbow on the table and my face in my hand. Had anyone been looking at me, they'd see the calm, toothy smile on my face. This year would suddenly be interesting.

Friends and Feelings:

 
Alyxander Cowles-Blythe. [ ]

Curious. Why does nobody seem to blink about the fact that you've disappeared? What happened? I intend to find out, one way or another, dear Alyx. I've picked you out of a crowd once or twice before.

You approached me first, after my duel with Antioch... a better start than I could have asked for. Seems that little dancer is out of the way now. I wonder if she knows exactly what she'll be missing. You are so... very interesting Alyxander. I think we can be of great use to each other... if you will let me.

Updated: After the Codex Announcement.

Antioch Na'Nuldamire [ ]

Perhaps a little too touchy. But you wander off quick enough that its less of a bother than some others. You are strong. You are interesting. It is easy to step my way through dueling club when you have everyone's undivided attention. I do not quite get why you do so many of the things you do.

Updated: During the Codex Tourney.

Athalor An'andarud. [ ]

Athalor. It feels like you're hiding something. Even when you make it to dueling club its almost like you're... distracted. What's going on with you I do wonder...

A shame... we'll have a fight together some day, love.

The offer is still on the table and my aim is better than ever if you happen to have any more commentary. I'm curious on what you can do...

Updated: After the Third Miracle.

Cuan. [ ] [Ex-Roomate]

Do I miss you?

I've grown... fond of your presence. Not that you would know that. I am glad we share similar prioritizes. Friend? Maybe. I don't like thinking like that.

I'm glad you're not nearly as mopey as you were a week or so ago.

We are a lot alike, you and I.

Updated: After Cuan's Disappearance.

Evamira. [ ]

I'm so very close to throwing you across the room. Unfortunately you tend to have bodyguards wherever you go..

Updated: Beginning of Year, after the Cuan and Hilde makeup.

Garnet Tohsaka. [ ]

Very impressive.

Impressive.

Updated: After the Third Miracle.

Hildegard. [ ]

Handy. Thank you for the bird, and the clothes

Cuan looks at you differently than before. Curious.

Your work in last year was impressive. Not many can blow a hole in the ground and get away with it.

Updated: After Hilde makes her new cloak.

Neodym Winterclaw. [ ]

If anything else, I am appreciative of the time you take to include me in your studies and your... life. Your constant chatter helps to pass the time. Your presence reassures me that I can do what I must, should I have too, but that I can relax at least a little. Your hair is soft, and your hat is still incredibly silly.

You impress me with your resolve. I almost messed up pretty badly... I can not decide which one of us came out the lucky one in the end.

You've proven yourself so many times to me. I appreciate you, not just your efforts. Your... presence is noticed.

Your efforts have been greatly appreciated so far. I hope we can continue to be useful to each other, Neodym.

Updated: Shortly before he crafts her new watch.

Ruby. [ ]

Expected... but do not try to talk to me about your God again. I care not for it.

Updated: After their duel in the Codex Tourney.

Terberisa. [ ]

Past aside. Your usefulness is becoming more known to me now. Let us work together on some things, shall we.

You are a loudmouth who doesn't know how to keep to herself. And if you have changed... well then you are a hypocrite and will be treated as such.

Updated: After the Forced Party.
