3rd catagory - Bird Type - Backdated to 25th [action/dictated]

[ Anyone around the library on the 25th might have heard sounds of some sort of struggle. Anyone who can sense magic would have felt a large spell, a gathering for a second, a sudden lack of magic in place, then a slow swirling of unfocused, raw magic. Anyone who comes looking after the raw magic fades will find Duke leaning against a wall, looking rather ill. If you're quick enough, one might be able to see a rather odd blade in his hand.

Duke doesn't stay there long, however. He returns to his room, half closing the door and dropping his journal down on his way to the bathroom. The journal picks up the sounds of running water, the sink, probably, then Duke returning. And tripping over something, a short noise of pain as he catches himself then takes a seat on the floor near the journal. ]

... What is known of ...vampires? [ He sounds tired, and like he isn't feeling too well, something that is confirmed by another uncomfortable noise. A mumbled line about light granting power. ]

Healing circle. [ Another flare of magic, this time from Satis Tower. The golden then blue-white light might be visible from outside his room, if anyone is looking. ]

(Duke was attacked by Bonnie on her loss! He's feeling bad due to Aersickness, mildly injured. Feel free to find him near the library, over journal, on the way back to his room or follow the feeling of magic...)

.... would. Do not know if her words - that one would be left alive - would be true. [ Every time he speaks, Duke gets a little closer to 'looking' directly at him. There's no sign of focus to his staring, though, nor any sort of reaction to tilting or any expression changes. ]

... Aersickness. Tried something to aid, it... was double edged. Perhaps... overdid. Will pass. Just need time. Reminds me.. [ He shifts his arm and grimaces, but doesn't do much more. ]

So it was a woman. Hm. Well, you are alive at the moment, for better or worse...[Experimentally he waves a hand near the man's face]

What is Aersickness? And what happened to your arm?

Hmn. [ Absolutely no reaction, other than a slight frown because he hears some sort of movement. ]

.... Aer. [ And here comes some sort of lecture voice. Just a rather tired one. ] Primordial source of life, magic. Harmless in small concentrations, once it is concentrated enough to become visible, dangerous. Alters metabolism, causes temporary illness in human and Kritya when it is green. Monster kind is driven to rampage and plant life grows at unsustainable rates. When concentrated enough to appear red, kills. [ He slowly flexes his fingers. ]

The vampire objected to my use of a blade. Twisted.

[Definitely blind, then. That means asking for a description won't help much]

Ah. Well, you had a right to defend yourself.

I have to say, that's one of the more unique forms of channeling I've run into yet. [Which means he'll be bugging the man for a full explanation and demonstration once he's capable of coherent sentence structure] Do you need any help? I could call someone from the clinic...

Hmn. [ No real answer to that. ]

... I have not heard magic called channeling before. [ But he's never that good at coherent sentence structure. Blame turning hermit. Duke muses over the offer of aid. ]

If you would point me in the direction to the towers, I would return to my room to rest. [ And heal himself - actually, the guy already knows he's magic user, and he'd rather not walk with the pained arm. A little more magic wouldn't be that much of a strain. Focusing now. ]

Light, grant my life your brilliant power. Healing Circle. [ A golden seal under him, a blue white large spark that shines a rather different circle of characters in a wider cone, and a few trails of sparks circling downward. Duke moves his arm with greater ease after that, even if he still looks a little ill. ]

Channeling speaks more to method. I'm trying to develop a little universal terminology for things like this. It isn't easy...

[You better believe he watches that display VERY closely, though he still has that instinctual twinge of aversion at it being healing magic]

How about we get you off the floor first? [He hooks a hand under Duke's uninjured arm and prepares to help the man up]

... ah. That ... would make sense.

[ He twitches a little at the contact, a tad bit jumpy after being attacked by vampire, but he uses his other hand to feel the wall behind him and uses both to get to his feet. He spends a moment trying to match where he thought he was standing with his mental mapping of the place, and ends up just standing there awkwardly. ]

If I show you to the lobby, can you find you way to your room from there?

[He doesn't outright mention the blindness. Being near blind in one eye, he knows a little of what it's like, and how little he wants people to know or talk about it. He also stands between Duke and the elevator, so the man will orient to the proper direction]

.... Yes. [ It takes him a moment, but he's a bit tired, so that make sense, right? Duke starts slowly making his way toward where he's fairly sure the lobby is. ]

[Felix starts for the elevator, walking at slow pace so Duke can keep up]

I'm Felix Harrowgate, by the way.

[ Keeping up seems to be within Duke's reach at the moment. He's keeping one hand near the wall though. ]

... Duke. ... Pantarei. [ Full name is returned with a full name. ]

Is that your name or a title?

It is... [ Don't mind the slightly puzzled look. ]

... a long time since any have asked that question.

Oh? People aren't in the habit of asking your name?

.... They have not been in the habit of giving theirs at the same time as they demand my own. [ In other words, Duke just doesn't like giving his name out unless he gets the other person's in return. ]

.. Few before my arrival here, at least.

Sounds like people in your world need to learn better manners.

...here's the elevator. [Translation: don't run into the wall]

.... Correct...

[ Elevator? That thing that was the room that moved, right? Duke does stop a little bit before walking into a wall, and then carefully works his way inside. Don't mind him running his hands over everything within easy reach. Lifts in Terca Lumireis don't have walls. ]

[He chuckles softly to himself, waiting until Duke is situated before he presses the button for the lobby]

Do you mind if ask you, Duke, what sort of magic it was that you were using back there?

[ The movement of the elevator startles Duke a tiny bit, but he balances and nothing more comes of it. ]

... What sort? Healing, intermediate tier. Before, attempt at altered Advanced tier, darkness. The first, a casting of my own creation... [ Something tells him this isn't the question, so he'll trail off. ]

... unless you what you are asking is to gain an answer of formula, harnessing Aer.

More the latter, yes, though it helps to get an idea of what sort of energy that was.

Aer is the energy you channel for spells, yes?

... Yes. Primordial source of life... [ A trailling off pause. ]

.. think I explained what Aer was once before in this conversation.

I was just confirming. It sounds a little like the mana I've heard about from others here.

[DING. The elevators halts and the doors open]

... Mana.... [ mumbled. ]

... That is what the young mage of Brave Vesperia did to it... Conversion formula... [ He'll start finding his way out of the elevator again. He wasn't paying much attention the last time he was in it. ]

[Felix raises a brow at this, which Duke of course cannot see. Privately he makes a note to follow up on this later]

You should contact the Peace Patrol about this attack.

[He walks out into the lobby, frowning as Duke as he fumbles about. How was the man going to find his room in this condition?]

... Peace Patrol? ... Some sort of peace keeping effort... [ Duke's trying to figure out what part of the lobby he's standing at. He finds something along the walls that helps him, and starts making his way toward the stairwell for Satis Tower.

He's also not quite sure if he wants to contact anyone about it, to be honest. ]
