One minute I held the key [OTA]
Who: Eleven, a largely optional Hendrik, and you!
When: March, sometime!
Where: Various bits of Anastara
What: Eleven tries to be normal while dogged by a persistent shadow.
Other: +/-1 options for the prompts are for a bonus Hendrik if you'd like! As Eleven's new sworn bodyguard, he has a tendency to follow him everywhere- but Eleven also likes to try giving him the slip.
A. Temple Study Buddy
First Ring- Temple of Raida Library
[It's Eleven's new favorite place to study, combining prayer and academics into unparalelled focus. Intimation and Religion studies become a breeze and even Language feels a little less like the mind-numbing struggle it has been.
He's kicked back and sitting parallel to the table with a book in one hand and jotting down notes with the other. It's a good place to find him if anyone were looking, and an even better place to find some quiet.
At least until he gets a little too relaxed and tips back too far in his chair.
Eleven crashes to the floor with a short yelp, then an oof when the heavy tome takes a free punch at his gut as it falls]
..Ow.
(+1 option)
[Don't mind the middle-aged man with purple hair sitting in the corner and throwing suspicious looks at anyone that comes within a few feet of Eleven- that's just his face]
B. Sparring Practice
Magicademy- Courtyard
[As outlined in his post to the bulletin board, Eleven has in fact been sparring out in the Academy's courtyard every single day after classes, so it isn't really anything new, but the invitation itself is.
It may have been born partly out of desperation for someone else to spar with ( or for someone to take his place sparring against Hendrik) but the offer is genuine all the same. He likes fighting, and the opportunity to erase the stifling strain of classroom study is entirely too appealing to give up in even the worst bits of weather.
So even as the seasonal lightning crashes overhead and the rains pour down, Eleven maintains his regimen. Whether it's sword or fists against Hendrik, enchanted dummies, or a new sparring partner, he's in perfectly good spirits and spoiling for a fight]
Come on- again!
(+1 option)
[Feel free to interrupt Hendrik and Eleven sparring, be watched whilst fighting against Eleven- or even set up against Hendrik yourself while Eleven cheers for you from the sidelines]
C. Exploring Anastara
Anywhere
You don't have to follow me everywhere, you know.
[The words are a long-suffering sort, as though they've been repeated a hundred times to no avail.
Eleven sighs and throws a look back to his new bodyguard as they walk along the city streets. It's been a bit since he arrived, but the man's constant presence is starting to wear on him. In some ways, it rather feels like he simply can't relax when he's around- like his vigilance is contagious or something.]
No one even knows who I am. I'm pretty sure they don't have any reason to attack me.
(-1 option)
[Or if you'd rather catch Eleven alone in Anastara proper, you might find him on the run from said bodyguard~]

[She waves a hand airily. In truth, she really had forgotten, and she didn't want Eleven to feel bad about the interruption, either.
She does want to get to know Eleven better, but it's clear to Yotsuyu that he's ill at ease being put on the spot. Hm. Oh, and then she has it. Something relatively lighthearted to speak of.]
So, I know we all are assigned familiars when we arrive here. Would you care to introduce yours?
[She will, perhaps, go first, dropping a hand to her waist--and that is not a nice blue serpent leather belt she's wearing, but a very real serpent. It winds around her waist a few times, mimicking a belt, but when she touches it, it lifts its head to blink at the other two.] This is Gosetsu.
no subject
Oh, hello. [The sudden shift in topic feels a bit at odds with his mood, but far more preferable than heavier things. Eleven glances about for his familiar]
It's a bit wet out for mine- she's a cat- but her name is Lightning because of the black streaks in her fur.
no subject
I must apologize. I do not have Sir Gawain with me.
[After a moment, the knight realized that might not mean anything, so his head lowered.]
He's..a toad. The name was suggested in a book, but I chose it because it was a knight's name in a book. He was a green..knight.
[Like his toad. Have a not!Dad joke Luminary, though that really is the name of his toad.]
no subject
I should like to meet her properly some day, Eleven. But...
[And there is where she loses it, yellow eyes canting back to the knight as she lifts a hand to her mouth and dissolves into giggles.]
A green knight?! Green and warty, Ser Hendrik? Oh, kami! Twelve bless!
[She does try to compose herself again, but it's a struggle. Gosetsu, clearly bored by all this, resumes his wrap about her waist--it's warmer that way, truly.]
no subject
I'm sure you will, when the weather lets up. Or we could go inside, and she might come around. I believe we're done sparring for the day?
no subject
But to the Luminary, the knight nodded.]
I do believe that we are done training this day.
no subject
[Yotsuyu was just never given to caring for them. Partly because she was kept busy other ways--and likely if she'd ever decided to care for an animal in her childhood, either Asahi or her parents would find reasoning to either harm it, or take it from her.]
But in any case, we should retire out of the damp. I am certain none of us need to take a chill, more so you two than I, having exerted yourselves!
no subject
There you are.
A grey and black lump of cat has curled on the rug in front of the hearth, and perks up at the sound of his voice. Eleven reaches down to pet her head, then gestures to Hendrik and Yotsuyu]
I don't think you've met Hendrik properly, but I'm sure you've seen him following me around. He's just trying to protect me. And that's Yotsuyu, a new friend of ours.
[Lightning stretches and gives him a look, then moves to inspect the two strangers]
no subject
And at hearing his name mentioned, the knight stops his visual inspection to go over and have a look at the cat.]
It reminds me of the cats in Gallopolis.
no subject
She's so beautiful, and I can see why you named her as you did. Yes, who is a lovely lady? You are, you beautiful girl...
[Don't mind her, if she's accepted, Yotsuyu will just spend a few moments crooning to Lightning. If she isn't accepted, she'll back up to a respectful distance and admire her from afar.]
