[Open] Another day where I think I'm giving up the fight
Who: Fluttershy and anyone who happens to be around
When: Mid-April
Where: Anywhere on school grounds
What: There's a duel happening, and Fluttershy is trying to keep tabs on it.
While it seemed like a normal day at the academy - as normal as a school of magic could be, anyway - every once in a while some students may feel a slight rumble through the ground. Or they might hear the faint clang of metal against metal, or catch sight of a tail or dorsal fin before it disappears back under the ground.
Some rather unlucky students might even be startled by the blade of a sword or the point of spear suddenly jutting up from the earth nearby, but those too disappear back underneath the earth.
And as quickly as the moment comes it's gone, and the grounds are still once again, for the moment at least. But soon after they might come across Fluttershy. She seems to be making her way quickly, though stops every so often to glance around.
And when she notices someone nearby, she heads over to ask, "E-Excuse me...I don't mean to bother you, but...have you seen a whale or dolphin pass by?"

Though he realizes also that no, he hasn't seen the land whale anywhere about, which is questionable in and of itself, but--"Dolphin? I haven't seen a dolphin or Ballet at all..." That makes him frown, then.
"Is she in trouble?" Darn it, he liked Ballet, and he didn't want Fluttershy to be troubled either. "How can I help?"
Rounder, who had been spinning calmly nearby up to this point, tugged first on Cliff's robes, then on Fluttershy's, and pointed to himself, clearly indicating that he'd help, too!

Much gesturing ensued, and instead of furrowing further, Cliff's brows nearly hit his hairline. "You can do that?" he asked. The response seemed to be affirmative, to judge by Rounder's flailing.
"He says he can try to follow them underground, but if he runs into rocks he might get slowed, because he has to drill...drill?" The familiar's thumbs-up gesture was unmistakable.
"I can't exactly track him, but...he can try to get our attention if he finds them..."

"I think his plan is to go find them, and then try to lead us there, if he can. I think he would've tried to say more before then," Cliff said. He felt pretty lame at that, but there wasn't much else he could do at the moment.

He hadn't been much of that sort of wizard before coming to Diatu, though. Cliff left that sort of thing to his mother and his older brother and sister...the ones who had talent for that sort of thing.
"I'm a bit more worried about Ballet, but she always struck me as someone who could hold her own..."
no subject
"Mm...Ballet is really tough."
But that didn't stop her from worrying.
no subject
A tug at the hem of his robes had him looking down, surprised to see Rounder there again.
"You found them?" He hadn't expected his familiar to do so with such speed, but he was gratified that Rounder had, nonetheless. He gestured to Fluttershy and then gave Rounder a 'go ahead' motion.
"Lead on, then!"
no subject
"Thank you, Rounder," she said as she followed them.
no subject
The sphere seemed like he knew what he was doing and where he was going, so Cliff just let him keep doing it. Until it became familiar to him, at least.
"They're down in the Forging area? Oh, by the Bladewolf's metallic arse, this could be bad!" Though he trusted Ballet, her opponent was an unknown, and so he picked up his pace into a run.
