Jessie gave Nemo a confused look.
"Contract? Summoning doesn't require a...."
Jessie then looked as if she remembered something. She picked her summoning tome back up and opened it to a page filled to the brim with notes. She paged to a certain section, shortly after the end of the beginners tabs and began to read aloud.
"A partner summon takes from the framework of pet summons and expands upon it. To create a partner summon, a summoner must first delve their research into that of mythical demonology. Within this branch of research, a summoner may choose aspects of creatures within various sources of lore and mythology. Once the summoner has a clear view of their desired partner in their head, they must illustrate their summon within circular form using the symbols and runes learned during the instruction of pet summoning. Once the summon is pictured and the circle created, a summoner must begin pouring their mana into the circle as they maintain view of their summon within their mind. The crafting of a summon takes a large pool of mana and it may require a day or two for the summoner to recover afterwards. Once enough mana is poured into the circle, if it was done properly, the mana will begin to take physical shape. Once the summon has stabilized, the mana may be reabsorbed into the summoner as a 'dismissal' of the summon. The summon will maintain it's essence, memories, and personality while within the summoner, but will not witness the events the summoner witnesses while the summon is dismissed. However, due to this inner storage, a bond is created between summoner and summon that permits them light communication even while a summon is withdrawn. This manner of summoning is unique and differs from other schools of summoning that require calling existing beings from another plane of existence and forging a contract with them."
Jessie closed her book and looked back to Nemo.
"You didn't fight a summoner from my clan, you fought a summoner that uses a different school of summoning from mine! Oh I would love to meet a summoner who uses a familiar rather than a mana construct, they must have a huge compendium of creatures that I could research and work elements of into my own summons! Its so quickly glossed over in lessons that I almost forgot about it completely.

Jessie chucked at Nemo's comment, but then stopped when she remembered that her cousin's partner summon was in fact, a fat pale demon with a glaive.
"To be fair, most summoners only use summoning as a foundation for other magics. Many will get at most a single partner summon, and from there learn a variety of other ruin, defensive, or healing spells. But as for me personally, I chose to stick almost exclusively to summoning. I personally have six partner summons. The most a single summoner can have however, is twelve. I don't have the capacity for that many yet, but I am working on getting my seventh. The wyvern that I rode here and the fairy I had with me at breakfast were my first two partner summons."
Jessie then pointed at the vulpine summon sitting in her lap.
"This one is not a partner summon though. This guy is a pet summon, we use them to teach our novices the basics. They aren't very strong, but they aren't completely useless in a fight".

"The runes on this thing have no similarity to the ones I use for summoning, so Im kinda useless for this too."
Jessie said, wandering over to where Nemo had laid down, and sat down a couple feet away from him.
"You guys have fun working on that though. I believe in you, don't fuck it up, rah rah, go team."
Jessie waved her fist in the air as if she were holding a small flag. She then took her summoning tome out and opened it up to a random book early in. She tapped a summoning circle on the page, and it glowed before a small vulpine sprite appeared in the grass next to the book. Jessie closed the book and picked up the summon, setting it in her lap and petting it. The sprite let out a bit of a cooing noise as Jessie pet it's fur.

Took a little bit of mental debating, but fuck it.
Lets start this shit back up.

Jessie was surprised to see Raiya bolt off with such speed. She looked at the others in the group and shrugged.
"I guess I'll see you gang on location."
Jessie stepped a good distance away from the group and took her tome off her belt. She flipped to a page marked with a thick blue-ish green tab at the top. The page had a detailed summoning circle on it, which she placed her hand on. The circle in the book glow, and a larger version of it appeared at her feet. A fierce wind sparked out of nowhere. The spot where Jessie stood within the circle however was calm. The circle appeared again in the sky, and upwards out of it flew a wyvern. The wind died down and the weather returned to its old state. The wyvern landed next to Jessie. In it's standing position, the wyvern was about two feet taller than Jessie.
"It's been a while Xal. May I fly with you on this fine day?"
Jessie gave her summon a formal bow, holding her still open tome in front of her in her left hand and her right hand lifted palm up to her side.
Xal let out a chirp and bowed to Jessie. Jessie smiled as the Wyven crouched down low enough for his summoner to climb onto his back, Jessie closed her tome and strapped it on her belt before climbing onto the Wyvern's back. She looked back down at the rest of the group.
"Sorry guys, I'd give you a ride, but Xal can only handle one person at a time, and seventy miles is too far for me to maintain a summon so I can't ferry you. Ill see you at the site."
She waved to the group as the Wyvern took off and carried her into the air. Jessie held on tight as Xal flew high into the air. Once they were at a good altitude, Jessie looked at her new manadial as Xal maintained their position in the air. She found the location on the manadial and then directed Xal towards the location. After a short time of flying, Xal spotted the destination and began to descend. As the ground became clearer, Jessie spotted Raiya, waiting at the location. Xal landed, and Jessie hopped off his back. She turned back towards the wyvern and gave another bow to him.
"Thank you for the flight my friend. May your wings forever be strong, and the winds remain in your favor."
Xal gave a chirp and bowed his head to Jessie before flying up into the sky and vanishing into a poof of cloud. Jessie turned towards Raiya.
"So, which of the rest do you think will get here first?"

Jessie listened patiently to everything Felix had to say, and when he was done, she headed outside to the meeting zone. Nemo seemed to be interested in chatting with Raiya, so Jessie left them to it and and took her tome from its place on her belt. She opened the book up and began paging through it. Most of the pages were filled with text, but every once and a while there were pages filled with runes, diagrams, and the occasional summoning circle. The pages with summoning circles had tabs on them for easy locating. About halfway through the tome, she got to an empty page. She took a pen out of a pocket on the inside of her jacket and began to write in the tome. Her handwriting was rather poor, but it was still legible. After writing for a while and filling up a page and a half, she put the pen back into her pocket and closed the tome, strapping it back onto her belt.

Yay for posts that are 10% content and 90% fluff!

Jessie grabbed a manadial as it flew towards her and gave it a look over. She then pocketed the manadial, finished off her coffee, and stood up.
"Im going to go get myself properly dressed. Can't go off saving the world in my pajamas."
She picked up her tome which had been resting on the table and headed back off to her room, her fairy floating behind her.
When Jessie arrived at her room, she shut the door behind her and tossed her new manadial onto her unmade bed. She turned towards her suitcase and pulled out an assortment of clothes while Salise set herself down on the nightstand.
"Its been a while since I've worn this, hasn't it?"
Jessie said to the fairy as she started changing into the outfit she had picked out.
"Its a good thing the old lady has that one size fits all weaving magic, it probably wouldn't fit me anymore if she didn't."
Jessie noticed a full sized mirror in the room, and once she was finished changing, she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
She was wearing a modern take on a classic summoner uniform. Black jeans tucked into knee high leather boots, a tight thermal shirt with only a left sleeve that also covered her hand except for her index and ring fingers. Her right hand had a fingerless glove on it. She picked up and put on a standard zip up hoodie from her bed. Its hood had a fluffy lining, and the right sleeve had been cut off and neatly hemmed to match the undershirt. She picked up her tome and attached it to a small strap on the belt of her pants.
She then glanced over at the manadial. She sighed, and strapped it securely on her wrist. She looked herself over once more in the mirror and nodded before heading back out to the kitchen to reconvene with everyone.

@Prodigal Son
I was gonna make a post tonight, but I ended up talking a friend of mine out of killing himself.
So that was kinda draining, I'll type up a post tomorrow.

Jessie sighed after hearing Felix's announcement.
"Look, I know that this is super important to you, but I don't feel super invested. Especially considering my skepticism about how honest you are being with us."
Jessie took a long sip from her coffee.
"That being said, you did get Man of War's approval, Im still in, but on the thinnest of strings. If things get too hairy, if I see a situation that I don't think I would be able to make it out alive, then Im gone. Im giving you this one chance Felix, for your sake, lets hope things go smoothly."
