(( The exact text from our RP will be pasted in this topic. ))
Tumindy looks down at her notebook, then up at the Dwarf at the table. "Mister Nobelring, I presume?" she asks, and snaps her notebook shut.
Athalbaug would look up from his meal, swallowing the trout before dabbing his mouth with a tissue, "Correct." He muttered.
Tumindy sniffs and pushes her glasses higher. "Ah, good. I am Tumindy Baublebolt. You received my letter, correct?" She smiles and covers her face with a hand. "What am I saying? Of course you did! Else you wouldn't be here waiting for me." She looks up. "Ready to begin?"
Athalbaug gave a small smile, setting the tissue down, along with his utensils, "I would be delighted, Miss Baublebolt." He said, slipping from his seat.
Tumindy smiles and nods once. "Good! Now, let's see... where's a good place to begin? Hmm..." She closes her eyes and bows her head in thought, but her eyes had hardly closed that she immediatly opened them and made a grab for Athalbaug. "Here we are!"
Athalbaug would raise a brow as he was grabbed.
Athalbaug gave a look around as the two were deposited in the middle of Darkshire.
[Athalbaug]: -Here-?
Tumindy holds her book to her chest and looks around. "Not exactly! Deadwind is where we're off to. I'm sure you know of the old wizard tower there, yes? The ley lines are quite strong in Deadwind. I figure it'd be far easier for you to get in tune with your first ley line there. Don't you agree?"
Athalbaug gave a small nod, "You're the instructor, Miss Baublebolt. I will follow your instructions to the point." He muttered, waving a hand, "Let us be off, then?"
Tumindy nods and waddles off.
[Tumindy]: So what made you seek out an instructor for Ley walking?
[Athalbaug]: I've been fascinated by the topic. I'm not getting any younger, you see. The corruption from my use of arcane is taking quite the toll. This will stop that.
[Athalbaug]: Yes?
[Tumindy]: Indeed it will! You know, it's a real shame Dalaran doesn't teach Ley walking as part of the standard curriculum. I understand -why-, of course, but still.
[Athalbaug]: My, it'd be quite the topic to grasp. They would have their hands full, indeed.
[Tumindy]: Precisely, but perhaps Dalaran underestimates their students.
[Tumindy]: -You're- obviously not one to be underestimated, are you, mister Nobelring?
[Tumindy]: No no, not many Dwarves in the arcane, are there? No, I don't think so.
Tumindy uses her book to cover her head from the rain.
Athalbaug gave a small smile, waving a hand, "I'm formidable, yes. Though don't go over-estimating me, either, Miss."
Tumindy looks over her shoulder at him and smirks. "So modest. We're nearly there, I think."
[Athalbaug]: Splendid!
[Tumindy]: Ah ha, and here is where we'll be staying for the first part of your training.
[Tumindy]: Now then, drop your things and take off your shoes.
Athalbaug took a look around the camp, giving a small nod as he kicked off his boots. He tossed his pack ontop as he shuffled over.
Tumindy slides off her sandals and sets her notebook next to them before turning to face Athalbaug with a smile.
Tumindy stretches out her toes cheerfully. "Now then, any idea why on Azeroth I just asked you to take off your shoes?"
[Athalbaug]: Well.. I would guess it is to minimize the barrier between myself and the ley lines below.
[Tumindy]: Ha! And you said I shouldn't overestimate you. Hmph! Anyway, yes, that's exactly why.
Athalbaug gave a smile, nodding.
[Tumindy]: Now, you already know all about harnessing the energies from the -Nether-, but our goal is to harness the energies from the -Ley- lines. Easy enough, yes? Wrong! This is why it's not a part of the standard curriculum in Dalaran. Now...
Athalbaug would give a nod while he slipped the gloves from his hands, tossing them to the ground as he listened.
[Tumindy]: Close your eyes and focus all your concentration on your feet. Clear your mind of all things, just as you were told your very first day of arcane training. I want you to try to feel the energies vibrating subtley all around us...
[Tumindy]: This will take some time, it always does, so don't feel discouraged.
Athalbaug rolled his eyes, giving a small smirk before closing them. The Dwarf went about clearing his mind of all thoughts, focusing on his feet. He would stand there for a long while, a frown beginning to form on his smirking face as the time passed.
Tumindy remains perfectly still and silent.
Athalbaug would give a small grunt as he burrowed his toes into the damp earth below himself. After a while, he spoke, "The only thing I feel is the earth below my feet."
Tumindy smiles sweetly at him. "That's fine, that's fine," she says softly. "Keep trying... try to see beyond the mundane of the earth to its true nature..."
Athalbaug furrowed a brow as he let out a slow breath.
Athalbaug would continue to concentrate, his voice coming out in barely a whisper, "What of your background, miss? I'd love to hear of where you studied."
Tumindy puts a finger to her lips. "Shhh... focus your inner eye on nothing but the Ley lines now. Beyond the mundane to the true nature of everything around us."
Athalbaug gave a small sigh, tilting his head towards his feet as he went silent. A long while would pass before the dwarf so much as moved.
Athalbaug fidgeted abruptly, his brow pressing together roughly as he let out a small grunt, "I feel..." He tilted his head to the side, "Something."
Tumindy smiles at him. "Hold onto it," she says softly. "...become familiar with what you feel."
Athalbaug would relax his brow to an extent, his face taking on an emotionless mask as time passed, "It's.. Far more potent." He muttered.
[Tumindy]: Hold onto it for as long as you can, then, when it seems too much, let go...
Athalbaug would remain still for a brief time, before his stiff posture loosened. His eyes slid open slowly. The light from the fire seemed too much for him at first, his eyes watering as they struggled to adjust to the light. His voice came out in a whisper,†I lost it." He said, frowning a bit, "How am I suppose to use something I can barely grasp..?"
[Tumindy]: With practice. Surely you weren't creating portals on the very first day of training in the arcane, so too it is with the Ley.
Tumindy smiles. "I -did- say not to feel discouraged."
Athalbaug gave a small nod, wiping his eyes with an arm.
[Tumindy]: If you need rest, take it. There is no rush. It's quite dangerous to do this when exhausted.
Athalbaug crossed his arms, a shiver creeping over his body. His robes were drenched from the time standing in the rain. The dwarf gave a nod, "Will you be staying here?"
Tumindy nods. "Of course. As will you. Sleeping beside a Ley line also helps, see... while you dream, the powers from the Ley will no doubt penetrate your mind, if you let it. Clear your mind before you go to bed, and you will allow it access."
Athalbaug gave another nod, "Of course, of course." He muttered, "I'll go rest now, then. Perhaps that will help."
Tumindy smiles at him and bows her head. "You did well, mister Nobelring. First day and you've already felt it. Admirable... mhm, admirable."
Athalbaug returned the bow, giving a small frown, "I feel like a child, learning the ropes anew."
[Tumindy]: There is no shame in that at all. We are all students, aren't we? Always learning new things... never quite at the top, are we? No, I don't think so. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either arrogant or simple-minded. I often don't know the difference.
Tumindy smirks.
Athalbaug gave a nod, offering a smile before shuffling towards the tent, "I'll see you when I awaken, miss Baublebolt."
Tumindy bows and takes a seat beside the flames, looking into them idly.
The Ley Walker
