can't carry this (Sutton)

can't carry this

[attr="class","box1"]Jay hadn't lived in the sea for years, but the world was still an ocean. Some days it was still and sparkling, and he could find something like peace; other days, he was tossed back and forth over the whitecapped waves, entirely losing sense of which way was up. The salt stung old wounds. The depths lured him down. Today he could at least keep his head above the surface. Breathing was an accomplishment at times. He needed a purpose to grasp, a line that would keep him from the current. He could go over class notes that he'd perused a thousand times before, or paint his face until it looked like stone and not skin, and it would at least be a distraction, but it would still be too quiet. He pushed open the library door. The thing about being an academic was that there was always more to learn, and it would fill his mind with something besides the memories. He spotted a girl looking lost by one of the bookshelves. Maybe this would pull him out of his swirling thoughts. "What are you looking for?" he questioned.  Sutton Elizabeth Bane [newclass=.box1]margin:0px auto; width:300px; height:425px; background: transparent; overflow:auto; padding:8px;[/newclass] [newclass=.box1::-webkit-scrollbar]width:5px;[/newclass] [newclass=.box1::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb]background: #E6BE8A;[/newclass]

Sutton and libraries don't go together. She may look like the typical dumb blonde and seem out there but she had her 'smart' moments. This was definitely not one of them, she was looking around and now forgetting what she was looking for. It would help that she didn't lose her list. She wrote these things down for a reason.

"Honestly? I don't even remember what I am looking for now. I lost my list." She sighed and looked at him. She then smiled and giggled at her silliness. "I know I sound a bit crazy. It was like I walked through the door and just forgot."

Now she probably sounded really crazy though. She looked at him and reached her hand out for him to shake, "I'm Sutton."

@jazspar,

can't carry this

[attr="class","box1"]Jazspar inhaled and shook the girl's hand briefly, lightly, grateful as he often was for the barrier of his silk gloves. They were forest green today, matching his raiment, embroidered in bronze. "Forgetting is a surprisingly common ailment," he said, adding with a slight smile, "Especially for students." He hadn't entirely forgotten what it was like to learn; it was part of his work as an instructor to continue educating himself, even if he wasn't teaching a subject like theory or strategy.  "I don't believe I've had you in a class," he observed. "What are you studying?" He was skilled enough at being polite; it was an underrated way to keep people at a distance without offending them. Formality made a better shield than defensiveness ever could.                                        Sutton Elizabeth Bane [newclass=.box1]margin:0px auto; width:300px; height:425px; background: transparent; overflow:auto; padding:8px;[/newclass] [newclass=.box1::-webkit-scrollbar]width:5px;[/newclass] [newclass=.box1::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb]background: #E6BE8A;[/newclass]

Sutton didn't saying of his gloved hands. It was probably strange to most people but she didn't seem to care. Though she did love the feel of the glove on her hand. It was smooth, she wondered how expensive they were and if she could get a pair similar to them.

"Or maybe I am just too dumb." she smiled, giving a nervous giggle. She wasn't the greatest at studying. She was always stuck in her head, wanting to know what it would be like to live in a world full of laughter and love. It was a naive thought but she could only wish for it.

"No I don't believe I have had a class with you yet." she said, then she looked at her surroundings. "something to do with science."

@jazspar,

can't carry this

[attr="class","box1"] Jazspar tilted his head appraisingly, relieved to have ended their moment of contact. The girl surveyed the world with a shine in her eyes that could be attributed to naivete, one he might have once envied but now only wished to protect. "In most cases, I find that your only foolishness lies in underestimating yourself," he advised gently, knowing it was wisdom he himself might never be able to apply. "Do you remember what subject or project you were looking for?"  Jay had never been toughened by his past. In fact, there were times he'd wished he had been, despising his own fragility, but in hindsight, perhaps this outcome was better, in a sacrificial way. At least he wasn't hurting others as well. At least he'd been polished and made kind.  "That at least gives us some guidance," he encouraged, even though it was relatively little to go on. "Come with me. Let's have a look and see if we can find what you were looking for." He started towards the nature section, which covered aspects of herbalism, magic, and his subject, Art and Adornment.  Sutton Elizabeth Bane [newclass=.box1]margin:0px auto; width:300px; height:425px; background: transparent; overflow:auto; padding:8px;[/newclass] [newclass=.box1::-webkit-scrollbar]width:5px;[/newclass] [newclass=.box1::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb]background: #E6BE8A;[/newclass]

In truth, she forgot what she was looking for. At least for the moment because she was slightly distracted with the professor. She always found him charming, kind and handsome but this was probably the most they have talked. Sutton was a very sociable girl but not many would come up to her. Her eyes brightened as she remembered what she was looking for. "I am looking for several books on charms. I am in need to study more because I keep mixing some of them up and causing....accidents."

She had been saying certain incantations wrong which caused an entirely different outcomes. This wasn't very prudent nor was it safe. Sutton wanted to be useful, now she didn't know what that use would be. "I don't want to inconvenience you at all professor."
