Freija
"Ooh, a magic-user." Freija purred as she looked the boy over with scrutinising eyes. They took in little details about him, his stance, everything, even if he was crouching on the ground. "Wind magic is one of the easier ones. Wind is the air, it's present all around us. It's one of the easiest to manipulate, so you have the potential to excel in your forte. Depends on what you'd like to do with it...though, might I say, it's very handy in aiding in speed. Adds a skip to your step, a little gush of wind at your heels."
Deducing the boy was no threat, Freija reached for her glass again and took another long drag. Maybe it was one of her flaws, but she found herself idly sipping on whatever was in front of her, not realising quantity of anything could be an issue, and in this case, magic user or otherwise that too much would have her intoxicated in a short time.
I think I'm going to be mistaken for a student a lot here. You need not worry yourself." she swirled her glass around some more, her appetite finally having returned enough to nibble on some steamed carrots and bread with fine butter.
She was just in time to catch Third's nod and returned a smile of her own, bright an innocent like a student's despite her years, though really, she wasn't much different from most of them after all.
"Nice to meet you, Beaux. I'm glad you're not like them. It gets quite boring, after a while." she trailed off, even as he sat down in a free seat close to them. She looked on, just casually observing the crowd at the banquet. Everyone was doing something or the other. It made her smile, and her eyes widen a little when, during her little scan of the room, she noticed a feline creature making its way to her. She didn't flinch, but just sat back in her seat a little more casually, glass in hand, to her lips, back firm in her hand again.
The first thing she noticed was the furry presence, and then the moustache. She had to suppress a giggle and put on a straight face, though it came naturally a handful of seconds in. She still did bite her lip to keep herself from losing it in the first couple, though. "Yes, I believe I'm the new teacher of magic here. Unless,you know. There's someone else. And then you have the wrong person and possibly should be looking elsewhere." she stuck her tongue out a little. Childish, daring. "I'm assuming your name is K'shaar, then? Well yes. I'm the new generalist. My name is Freija Kiraiian. It's nice to meet you. I assume you're a student here?" her eyes fell upon his han-err...paws. No ring present. No necklace with the school's emblem on it either. She was right in her assumption.
"Ah, I specialise in spells that are based around healing or protecting. Forcefields and the like that can be thrown up around an individual. Though, to be fair, there is a lot you could do with forcefields...hm. Ah, also elemental manipulation. Destruction magic is a reckless kind, if I do say so myself, and sadly not one I'm as familiar with as the basic kinds of elemental and environmental magic, or the magic of manipulation on non-elemental grounds. Such as mind control, all that. Not very difficult but they involve lots of psychic energy. Anyway, destruction magic...hm. Not exactly my forte, but I believe it requires a stunning amount of control. And that is a huge part of the classes I'll be teaching. How to master the magic you already have, and focus on control and having it bring out the best in you. You could put it in the perspective of swordplay. I could teach you how to carry a sword, and your stance and perhaps even what sword would be right for you. Even things about awareness of the environment around you. But your individual fighting style, I couldn't help you learn that. We do have a Destruction magic teacher at this school, I believe...are you a new student?" She asked, genuinely curious. "You must meet this old man, Azelf. He's very quiet, but radiates a lot of energy, and potential indeed. He could easily be the best person to teach you further at this school. And I could teach you to harness that."
She breathed after the mouthful of words, blinking up at the student like half the words would have gone over his head, vocabulary and all.
"Oh, and haha. I'm starting to think I'm going to be called a student more than I thought around here...but thank you for the compliment. I don't reckon a lady ever wants to look older than her years."
