He didn't understand how he got the way he did. He took his meds, he didn't let anything bother him, he wasn't bothered, this was... an odd feeling. He still felt a crushing weight lingering in the back of his mind, but the front of his mind paid no attention to it, he felt lighter and relatively unbothered. It was strange.[break][break]
So naturally, not knowing what the fuck to do with himself, Vlad went out to train a little bit. And honestly, he didn't know for sure what he wanted to train. His hands grazed over the secured Grimoire in it's pouch behind him before turning over to grip the cloak. With a hard tug, he freed the heavy cloak and dropped it under a rock, pulling his cowl down with his free hand after standing up right. What. To. Do.[break][break]
Baook made a curious noise as Vlad stretched his bandaged palms, moving forward to move the rock off of his cloak and wrap it around his shoulders, sitting down to wear it instead. And Vlad allowed this, it was fine. Baook wouldn't run with it unless they were playing, and he liked watching his magic so he wouldn't be sprinting away anytime soon.[break][break]
So he figured maybe start with something fun? Throwing down a cyclone, Vlad felt himself grow lighter, letting air magic flow through his body before, one hop, a second and bigger hop and then a third hop! Right into the cyclone and into the air![break][break]
A strange feeling over took Vlad so he, isolated in the air, wind rushing against his face and utterly trashing his growing hair, let out a loud cheer as he started falling back down to the earth, feeling comfort, a rush and joy at the floating feeling in his stomach.[break][break]

Blustery winds blew across the grassy Hyrule Field. It was a beautiful sight, really; the grass danced in the sunlight while the wind brought with it a gentle hum that caressed Pallin's ears. Quite a nice day to be out of his study, and ultimately, out of the stuffy atmosphere of the Royals. He was worried about everything that was going on - the disappearance of Ursula, the supposed war that was going to take place, the anxiety of the Royals themselves, and perhaps at the crux of it all, was the worry that he wasn't enough. Ever since the kidnapping at the bandit camp, he was struck with this feeling of ineptitude that he just couldn't shake.

He consoled himself on a daily basis. Took to journaling his personal thoughts, rather than keeping notes of all his scientific findings. He knew that those were good enough, that was an intellectual individual whose work was sufficient enough to earn his place in the Castle. His findings were aiding the Royal Family, up until recently. His dreams were nightmares about his times being tortured at the bandit camp, forced to reveal his astronomical findings to the bandits who were working for... well, he didn't know, but he had his hunches. No doubt they were tied to the villain from the Goron Mines. That event forced him to learn magic from Ursula, but even then, nothing felt enough. He didn't know how to use his Sheikah upbringing to a combat advantage. But it wasn't the Sheikah way to be along the front lines in combat. He was used to moving in shadows, but... all he could do was move. Not attack, not defend, nothing.

But the sight of Vladimir practicing his magic was wonderful. Was that a smile on Vlad's face? Pallin heard the cheer and smiled. It had been a little while since he saw his 'friend,' if his feelings were telling him anything. Which, they were - but it was up to Pallin to realize them. Sometimes he did a better job at that than others, and right now, his analytical side was trying to take control. However, the emotional side tended to come out around Vladimir. It was a nice feeling though, so Pallin decided not to fight it. He waved to Vlad while he was in the sky. What would they get to talk about? He felt a pang in his chest; perhaps Vlad would listen to him if Pallin confided in him?

It was very rare he ever cheered, laughed and especially smiled, so there was definitely a good mood going on. So when he looked over as he fell back towards the earth from his very much dangerous height, he waved back at Pallin. Baook did as well, finally getting curious about Pallin and hopping over, the baboon taking up a new spot a little ways away with his stolen cloak.[break][break]

Vladimir, on the other hand, definitely caught himself out of sheer instinct, his light body touching down with the slightest of noises. All in the muscle memory, he stood up easily from the landing and made his way over, bandages showing more than usual due to his baggier clothing choices. Something comfortable for the day as he shoved his hands behind him to free the Grimoire before flopping down not too far from Pallin.[break][break]

There was something odd with this guy, and he couldn't quite base anything off of it other than relating it to something he felt long ago after meeting Dalvidyl. Something funny in the pit of his stomach, and due to his habits to suppress any emotion that could potentially get out of control on him, he had never really meditated on what it meant. So what was this odd nausea? No. Not nausea, he didn't want to vomit. [break][break]

Squinting some, Vlad's true eye color returned as his magic relaxed a little. The green color with a hint of a glow died down to his natural ruby red as he looked up to Pallin, eyebrows raising through the squint. He was... terrible with talk, so for a moment, he just looked back down at his Grimoire and reached through the protective spell on it to open it up to his most recent page.[break][break]

What could he talk about? Maybe something related to what's going on? People did that a lot and well, he knew that Pallin worked as an astronomer. "Lotz of stuff goin' on with ze upcoming war. Needed zome quiet?" It... was as good as it'd get for a start with him. Pallin knew about his homeland, how he didn't have a natural hyrulean accent, but instead he mocked one to hide his Terminian roots. More specifically, his Ikanan roots. For some reason around this guy, he could let that out easier than with others.

He thought the warmth came with the breeze, but in fact, it was really coming from his core. Something tingling all throughout his belly, chest, and even into his arms got stronger the closer he got to Vladimir. There was some sort of cognitive dissonance, though; he knew that these were feelings of adoration, but... he wasn't sure if he really wanted to admit to himself that that's what he was feeling. It was another element in the mix of confusing details plaguing his mind; a swirl of mental clatter banging into itself day after day.

Pallin saw Vlad's body language - he was much more relaxed than when they met at the bar. It was nice to see him comfortable, so Pallin thought he would do the same. He also plopped onto the ground, looking out into the great sky. Just for a moment, though. He rolled on his side to look at Vlad, whose ensemble revealed more bandages than the ones Pallin remembered. But, he was more interested in the Grimoire. What kind of knowledge it had, what kind of an heirloom it was... what it meant overall. A song came to his ears, one about the upcoming war.

"Yew w-woudn't believe," he said, lowering his own accent to his more rural comfort. It was a pain having to put on such a received accent in the castle, but out in the field with only Vlad and Baook as listeners, he didn't care. "Ev'rythin' g-goin' on. Royal this, r-royal that, garrison here, garrison there... an' wh-why do I have to h-help plan it all?" He was the astronomer, but he was only that: an astronomer. He felt like the Royals were asking far too much of him for his understood and expressed responsibilities. He was trying to get a better understanding at magic, and he was very close to figuring out how the planets had affected peoples' magical abilities. He picked at his lips, peeling the flakes of dry skin until they bled at the tears.

"I j-just don' know" he began, worried that what he told the bandits was somehow related to why the war was coming up now. "Th'Hell am I supposed t'do now?"

Vladimir read his book, a hand reaching up to push the curious baboon back some. Baook, being the easy to placate ape that he is, laid down in acceptance, half using Vlad's cloak as a blanket to lay on. Vlad's red eyes fixated for a moment on Pallin picking at his lips, something he recognized as an anxious tick. Either that or Pallin was just a lip picker, either way, he looked back down at his book, staring at a diagram packed with ancient language and magic flow descriptions for a spell.[break][break]

"For such a powerful family, zey certainly need alot of outside help." Vlad idly commented, reaching up to scratch at the base of his skull, crossing his legs in tighter to get more comfortable. "Zeh princess apparently zent for me too. Zeh Arbiter's grounds. Told em 'nowhere in hell'z ass I will come." He spoke in his usual flat tone, but with a snort. The snort sounded snotty, but was actually more to try to denote amusement in trying.[break][break]

"Zat knight, Zosh dropped by. Not too many dayz after. He waz more convincing." He knew Vlad's true skills, that he could interact with the dead. He was a medium through and through and while he knew that many people would freak out at that news, he knew that Josh hadn't, and that despite him not entirely liking the guy (or anyone for that fact), he had good points.[break][break]

"Guess what I'm zaying is I dunno. Can you fight?" He did his best to try to say 'i don't know i'm being dragged into this too'. In a sense... that is. He could've said no. But the graves he'd have to dig, the surge of spirits if they failed. His pragmatic self spoke up and said to do it. He'd displayed feats from his training as a Sheikah before, so they knew a few tricks up his sleeve, and he had more than just jumping across chasms and catching boomerangs barehanded.[break][break]

But a small part of Vlad nagged him. Did he really want to see Pallin in war? He himself was used to subversive war. Working dangerous jobs from the shadows, witnessing battles of old between warring spirits. No. He didn't rightly like the idea of Pallin fighting a war very much. The wind pulled him from those thoughts tho, causing him to readjust the baggy, bright printed shirt and move to where he could lay down and read, pushing Baook out of the way.

Pallin, languid with remorse, fell onto the ground with a soft 'thud' to match. He contemplated his friend's words, which shed light on Pallin's own opinions of his employers. "Not a thin' I wouldn't do, but yer right. Somethin' odd 'bout that lot. Right strong, but... traditional." Was that the right word? In a sense it was, since they did follow tradition rather religiously. Pallin was taught to live the ways of a traditional Sheikah, but even those traditions he didn't totally take to heart. People were individuals, weren't they? If a tradition didn't make sense in his eyes, he wasn't one to follow it. Though if he had to act to save his hide, he would play the long con. "Bloody Triforce. I'm sick of searchin' for it."

And this war. This stupid war! But wait- did he mention Josh? "Aye, you've met Josh as well? Nice fellow I suppose, seein' as he rescued me from that blasted bandit camp." Then he realized what Vladimir had said moments before. Quickly he shot up, scrambling to a more alert pose than a relaxed one. "Yer goin' ta Arbiter's Grounds?! Nothin' good ever comes from that place, Vladimir." Where was this concern coming from? Why, why why, what, how?! He was tired of the questions he constantly asked himself. He knew what the feelings were deep down, but he would have to be okay with hiding behind feigned confusion for now. But he was frustrated. He knew that he and Vlad were on good terms, perhaps getting to the point of a real friendship... but he didn't want to hold a conversation about deep feelings right now. His eyes tingled around the edges along with minor blurred vision.

"Blast," Pallin said, focusing his erratic energy into a water ball. It took some of the tingling sensation away. "I can fight. I'm better at strategy though, seeing as combat was never my strong suit growin' up. But I learned, what with Josh's help. And the Goron Mines. My magic, though," he said as he burst the water ball into hundreds of tiny drops that gave the nearby flowers a nice shower, "It needs work. Though I'm not sure wha' I'm to do out in the desert, with such scarcity of water."

Worry after worry plagued his mind. He lay with his back on the grass, staring up as the gentle wind blew the clouds through the vast, open sky.

Vlad blinked and sat up a little bit as Pallin shot up as well. It looked as if he'd been stung right in the ass by a wasp. His usually blank neutral expression twisted some as his eyebrows drew closer together, a little more open about his expressions around Pallin. "Ya, I know. You have to trust me when I zay, I can handle it." He couldn't tell him about how much of a freak he was, not yet and not now.[break][break]

He didn't allow himself to linger on those thoughts and focused on Pallin instead, watching as he pulled water into a ball. "Zounds like me with wind. Though I can make lightning at any time. Have you conzidered a water pouch?" Vlad watched as the water allowed the flowers to glisten, good for those little flowers. He could feel Pallin on that though. The lack of wind always sends Vlad into a panic, his magic reaching out and searching for any source of air flow that he could harness. He could always create his own, yes, but in a room without a breeze, that was very dangerous. Popped ear drums and more for risks when he harnessed wind.[break][break]

"And I can teach you about magic control. It'z zeh same concept for all elementz."

Post by Pallin on Nov 7, 2021 1:38:33 GMT

Glistening petals and green leaves shot sunlight from their shiny surfaces. "Yew... yew can make lightnin'? Incredible. Really, it is - don't get to see many people doin' that in the castle." What would a water pouch do, though? Would it be a flask, so to speak, or more like a reservoir for magic? Both, perhaps. He tucked the thought away into a pocket of his mind, quickly returning to the focus of the conversation. He had seen Vlad flying when he first approached; was that Vlad's magic? He was really remarkable. The sense of wonder melted the icy reservation stiffening Pallin's body.

"I need the help, Vladimir," Pallin broke. He was truly scared; so many things were unknown. Pallin had a natural curiosity, and loved things that were unexplained because he could always find a way to explain them. But this upcoming uncertainty absolutely made him sick - it was more than just the matter of the kingdom at stake. He truly felt that it was a matter of existence itself on the line, and he had never had to deal with the thoughts of his own existence stopping before. "I need to know what I can do, I need to know my limit." He wouldn't go over it unless he had to, of course. "If you can make lightning, I need to know how to make rain."

Vlad watched Pallin and considered for a moment. Were there really that few air mages around the castle? It wouldn't shock him. It wasn't often you met an uptight air mage. Any mage with a sensitivity for their element are prone to certain behaviors, such as Vlad being unable to stay somewhere where he can't feel the slightest hint of air moving. Or his numerous urges to run.[break][break]

"Making rain. Zhat would be amazing. Zink of it." His words grew heavier as his mind drifted off. How long had it been since he had stood in a thunderstorm? Feeling the brunt of the elements against his own, nearly uncontainable magic. "Well. Zhe first thing would be feeling the flow of magic." He never let anyone look into his grimoire, but he seriously doubted Pallin could translate ancient Ikanan text. His mother had to teach him and he'd never met another soul. What he needed, was the diagram to show him, not the words though.[break][break]

"Each element flowz a little different from the otherz. Air iz wild, I feel it in my lungz and zwirling through my body." He turned the book for Pallin to see, a diagram of the flow of air magic as his ancestors had also apparently felt it. "When I feel for water, itz much calmer. Less zwirling and zapping. More flowing."

He couldn't believe his eyes! Pallin would never have said it - at least, not yet - that he wanted desperately to get a glimpse into the grimoire. He knew it was a highly personal thing for Vlad, so out of respect (and against his very strong wishes) he hadn't asked to see inside. The diagram alone was extraordinary. Whoever wrote it must have had an exceedingly steady head so as to not smudge the ink all over the page. And the lettering! He had no idea what it meant, nor would he attempt to guess. The language was something he had never seen. It must have been... what did Vlad call it? Ikanan? Something in the diagram captivated him, though. All he wanted to do was stare at it. Soak in the symbols and their representations. As Vlad pointed to a few of them, he used context clues to try and figure out their meaning.

"Tha's wha' Ursula said a long time ago. Somethin' like it, anyway." Let the feeling of the magic flow through him. What did it feel like, though? Vlad had a sense of wind magic, but it sounded like he knew something about water magic, too. One felt calmer than the other. Pallin zoned out, staring at the grass while trying to figure out how the magical energy felt within him. He thought about water in general: it could range from calm and tranquil, like Lake Hylia on a calm day, to a raging flood like the rapids flowing from North Lanayru. Did that magical energy change with his own emotional state? If that were the case, though, what did that energy feel like right now?

"Mmm. I can feel a bi' of force stretchin' through me arms," Pallin began. Did he feel a stirring anywhere else? Yes, but was it related to the magic? He couldn't tell. "So... if it flows, then it must be like water is flowing through me. The energy comes into me, and I turn it into water. 'S it somefin' like that?" Pallin was excited to have an idea, regardless of if it was right or wrong.

Vladimir let him absorb the depiction, for whatever good it would do him. Unless he was able to pick up air magic down the road, he wasn't too sure how much that graph would help outside of context. The ancient language in the book took time for even him to translate and he had grown up learning it from notes his mother had left behind. Don't even get him started in the deeper depths of the book. [break][break]

He stayed comfortable, legs crossed while Baook bounced and made excited noises behind him. "Yeah..." He nodded, thinking on what Pallin said. "Zome dayz I'm a calm breeze. Otherz, I am a hurricane." He motioned to the sky above him, the wind still moving gently through the air. "Mood changes thingz, at least it doez for me. If you're not calm when first learning how it feelz, then you could hurt yourzelf before you learn to control it."[break][break]

Vlad wouldn't turn down any magic's capability to do harm. Hell, he turned water to ice shards so he could launch them like shrapnel, backed by the power of his wind.

"Don't suppose I've seen yew as a hurricane," Pallin chuckled. Ahh... he stared at the diagram. But without really any context, they were just pretty images adorning a very, very old sheet of paper. Confound this gap between his mind and his feelings! The two were such separate entities it felt like they'd never be unified. He had another idea, though. If the energy was supposed to come to him, he'd have to draw it from somewhere - if everything had some sort of force, surely he'd be able to be charged by something. He closed his eyes and thought about Nayru's symbol. The three crescents with orbs in the gaps, representative of the laws of nature that made the world go 'round. How did it make him feel? He was tired of asking himself that. What did he feel? He felt the cool breeze, the smells of grass and flowers - he could almost taste the sweetness from the flora. Try to stay calm, Pallin... try to stay calm.

His hand tingled, as if feathers were tickling against it. It felt like the pressure of waves breaking at the shoreline crawled from his shoulder into his hand. With Nayru's symbol still in his hand, he held his palm out just to see what would happen. Again, a ball of water formed levitating a few inches above his hand. He opened his eyes, frustrated with the lackluster result. He squeezed his hand into a fist, popping the ball. Once again, the flowers got a pleasant shower.

"Why is this so 'ard? Ursula taught me how to use magic, but... not 'ow to be good at it." He lay on the ground, staring into the sky once more.

Vladimir put the book away for a moment to watch him, leaning his elbows on his knees. He watched once again as the ground around them got a nice little spontaneous shower and looked back at Pallin. Everyone learned magic at different rates, and as long as Vladimir could remember, magic came to him easily and actually... "I'm... not sure." He twitched his nose some and reached up to rub at it, staving off an itch. "I know... some uh-zure Zeikah where I'm from struggled."[break][break]

Vladimir fell into deep thought, ruby eyes staring off at a tree in the distant, and as per the usual, his well trained expression betrayed next to nothing. "Ever zince I was small, I had too much magic. It was eazy for me to cast spellz but in the blink of an eye, things could get deztroyed or I'd hurt myself." He seemed to think a moment longer, in his head he was sending himself back to when he was younger. "I needed to learn to vizualize zeh end." In more ways than one, but they were talking magic.[break][break]

"Know what I want to zee happen, and zeh rest waz practice to control it so I could bring it to life." He cleared his throat, he'd have to reign in the accent some. His S's were starting to change completely and at this rate he'd start speaking Terminian.

"Oi, that makes a bit of sense, it does," Pallin said as he rubbed his chin. He stared at the ground, and then at the book. Of course! Who knows why he hadn't thought if it before - but it made perfect sense to envision what he wanted to have happen. It was so unlike what he'd been used to, though. Usually his research involves asking a question and letting the universe reveal its secrets... in a scientific manner, though. He would get the end result only after searching for the answers... not the other way around.

"So... so you've got the end idea... and then you shape the magic into what you want it t'be..." He pondered more and more. So excited was he, that Pallin could not think of this without a smile on his face. So then, what was it that he wanted to see happen? He had read about the different spells that people commonly cast if they were attuned to Nayru. Ice was something quite beautiful - something about the stillness, the bone-chilling cold, the emptiness - all of it was something he admired. Probably due to the fact that he could never stop thinking (though nobody truly could), but Pallin was unfortunately always aware that he couldn't stop thinking. He wanted so badly to escape his mind, sometimes, though he never found a way to do it. Perhaps ice was the answer, though; that stillness, that emptiness... that's what he wanted to see. And sometimes at night, during the most stressful of days, he would want to escape to the chilly hills at the foot of Snowpeak. But that was changing, because there were many, many times when he wanted to be around Vlad. It was easy for Vlad's presence to make Pallin's stress simply float away.

So what was it? Was ice his motivation? Or was it Vlad? The stirring had him restless. He closed his eyes, tried to breathe, and meditated on the image of ice. Or, perhaps, a vision of the two of them atop Zora's Domain with Snowpeak in the background? No, all of that was too complicated. So he returned to his basic image of ice. He wanted to see ice come out of his hands. Ice was cold, ice was still, ice was clear, and ice was sharp. Perhaps it was the wind blowing in the field, or just the season itself, but Pallin stared to shiver. More and more clearly the image of ice surrounding his body came to the forefront of his mind. Emanating from his chest was a pressure that slowly, but steadily, pushed itself into his arms. It concentrated around his forearms, then his wrists, and it seemed to swirl around his hands. He took a deep breath, now the image of the ice so vivid in his mind, and pushed the air with his fists. He heard the sounds of ice cracking, but he thought it was just his imagination.

He opened his eyes and nearly jumped for joy. "Vladimir! It worked!!" is all the once-well-composed astronomer could stutter.

Well his train of thought was right. He did end up speaking Terminian at the rate his accent was fading back to what he had grown up with. Watching Pallin focus he was almost afraid he'd end up giving himself a headache but in the end, he coated himself in ice. "Good." Vladimir spoke in Terminian with a nod, blinking down at the ice that now coated his arms. It was a good start from where he was just throwing water on the grass.[break][break]

Clearing his throat, he looked at Pallin, his deadpan expression taking on a hint of a smile. "Don't loze a finger now." He joked, looking at the ice. It wasn't often the gravekeeper felt nicer being around people. But something about Pallin brought about a small warmth to his hardened heart and loosened soul that only one other person had been able to do. But Vlad didn't want to think about that. Instead of getting tangled in things he didn't understand, he looked off to Baook celebrating the ice, and let himself fill his racing mind with the fog that he sees between the world of the living and dead. [break][break]

His mind wandered though, and he mentally frowned at the thought of Pallin being on the otherside of the veil. Since when did he feel upset about death? Talla's death, his mother's death and the idea of Dalvidyl's death were the only ones that ever bothered him. Distractedly, he hurled a little water at Baook, earning a petulant noise. "That waz very good." He affirmed, looking back to Pallin. "Keep working on that, and zoon it'll have whatever utility your mind can think of."
