Rating:
With the help of some friends and friends of friends, the school cafeteria has been transformed into a meeting space. Rows of chairs and a few benches fill the space, providing adequate seating for whoever wishes to come to the meeting.

Along the back are some tables set with cookies, pastries, and tea, juice, and coffee for people to munch and sip on, before, during, and after the meeting

By the entrance is another table. On it sits a locked box with a slit on top, small sheets of blank paper, and a few pencils and pens. This is the message box, for anyone who wishes to express an idea or thought in an anonymous manner. The box will later be opened and all the messages inside will be read out loud by Ginia.

At the front sits a platform - one of the ones built for A Midsummer Night's Dream - with a table and chair resting on top. It's where Ginia will sit during the meeting, the extra height for the purpose of being able to see anyone who may be seated in the back row.

[ Helios is going to be helping out in anyway possible. With Giles gone it's obvious that Ginia needs all the support and help she'll need for this sort of thing. So Helios will do just that and he'll be walking around setting up things and making sure there's enough food and the like to last the entire meeting. ]

[Such a great bro. All the help is appreciated, as if having some of her best friends around to contribute and support her. She'll take a break from studying her notes to go over for a small chat.]

Thanks for helping out, Helios. I really appreciate it.

[ Have a dismissive wave of his hand. ]

It's no trouble at all Ginia. Anything I can do to help out. I don't want you to make yourself frantic, what with all this planning and the like. It's...probably a bit stressful as it is. [ So Helios will do what he can to alleviate some of the stress of the upcoming meeting. ]

I have to say this is the first time I've really done any... well, public speaking. It's a little nerve wracking.

[ He gives her an encouraging smile. ] Yes, well. I think you'll do absolutely fine. Public speaking is nerve-wracking for everyone. But, well, we've got your back as the saying goes.

[ He believes in you Ginia. You can do this. ] You've sang and played the piano in front of people. I-I think that takes a considerable more amount of nerves than speaking.

The piano is different. I can focus on the music, not look out at the audience. Singing is... [Her smile fades slightly as she remembers how much Giles had worked with her, gently drawing her out of fear of singing in front of everyone with his gentle support and love. She wished he was here now.] I suppose singing is much like public speaking too.

You've been feeling well, then? [Soft, almost sheepish from Helios' left as she walks up. The last they'd spoken in depth it had been...well. She'd been less than pleasant.]

[ Helios turns looking towards his left his widening a bit as he sees Adele. He gives a small nod and a tight thin lipped smile. ]

Oh yes. M-Much better thank you. And yourself?

The same. [A breath.]

...

I would like to apologize. For my attitude and behavior. It is no fault of yours and I took it out on you unduly. You deserved none of my anger and for that I am sorry.

Th-there's no need to apologize, really. Last week was...hard on a lot of people. Emotions tend to do what they will and with people not remember what h-happened the weekend before... [ He gives her a small smile. ]

It's understandable tensions were high.

Please just. Accept the apology. You are forgiving to a fault, Helios. [It worried her just a little, that, but she shakes it off and lets it go. Not her business. So much about him wasn't, living with him didn't change that.]

I may not remember but. It still was no reason to be so curt. To you or your friend. You were already in enough distress and didn't deserve anything I said.

Alright. I accept. [ But he hardly sounds convincing about doing so. A frown. It is a major fault Adele a very major fault. A sigh as he runs a hand through his hair. ] It...it's fine. Robert p-probably will forgive you as well.

[ They were both so forgiving. ]

I will speak to him next, should I see him. If not I will write him.

[A soft sigh and she allows herself to relax somewhat. She was growing wary of walking on eggshells around the house.] Have you any ideas to add to what will be discussed here?

I think he'll appreciate that. You two might get along well, actually. He's an...astrobiologist in his world. Rather fascinating, that.

[ Helios looks around at the people coming and going. ] Ah. Well n-not really pertaining to the main focus of it. But I did want to get the idea out about having a cultural festival some time in the Summer or Spring.

An astrobiologist? I have not heard of such a thing, but it does seem fascinating.

A little levity would do the village some good, yes? I think many would like the idea.

I believe he studies otherworldly creatures and the like. Aliens I think.

I-I'd like to hope it would, yes. Luceti can never have too much levity after all.

That would be fascinating. I shall have to discuss his work with him sometime.

[A soft smile, an olive branch, of sorts, extended.] So the cultural festival, people from different worlds would set up entertainment and stalls for food, yes? Educate everyone here about where it is they come from. It is a marvelous idea Helios.

Ah yes exactly! They um could also talk about their worlds as well if they liked. It would be something similar to the world building class the school offers. But I figure with a little more leeway and less classroom around then the students might take to it a bit more. And not just students would be able to participate either.

[ A smile. ] I'm glad you think so. Lets see what everyone else thinks now.

Ginia was right, you are an impeccable teacher. An instructor that takes the time and consideration to ensure that his students enjoy what it is they are learning is always twice as effective as those that do not.

[She mulls it over a moment. Considers what time she's already set aside for drills, for research. Taking on anything else would prevent her from an adequate amount of sleep but...it'd be something to discuss. A way to learn more about Helios. A way to get around this strangeness.] What is it that you teach here, Helios?

[ Helios might smile at that. He also might look a bit embarressed. ] I-I'm nothing that special, really. I-I just try to make my students as comfortable as possible. Ensure that they'll at least enjoy the material. I-I quite...out of touch with it. I don't normally teach back home. Being the headmaster for the academy is busy enough as it is.

As for here? I'm only a substitute here. But typical I help with teaching magic should Raine or Gelda be absent.

The Filial magic, yes? How to contact the spirits and learn from them, or is what you taught back in your home applicable here as well?

Filial magic, usually. I, ah, teach it one on one for anyone who wants to do so privately. I-I've only helped a few people so far. Giles, Ginia...Frederic as well. [ Oh man the memories. ]

B-But people have been able to learn my magic as well. I-I think it depends on their world's own mechanics however. Frederic was able to learn from my books a-and Giles... [ he just pauses. Remember the three times the other drained his magic the second and third times being the most horrifying of the three. ] ...he, ah, c-could learn it as well.

[Ah, of course Giles. She didn't know what gave Helios pause, and while he was adverse to contact she couldn't help reach out and brush his elbow with her hand. Fleeting, but an awkward attempt at comfort. For whatever reason, he seems to need it.] I do not think the mechanics of my world would be conductive to the magic of yours, Helios but...would you be able to teach me something of Filial magic? If you have the time.

[ Helios wasn't expecting the brush to his elbow but he manages to not flinch or pull back as much. ] I'd love to. I'm never opposed to such an offer. But, ah, I'm glad you asked me to help you. It-it means a great deal.

[ He smiles back at her before going back to straightening out one of those chairs. ]

[If Helios is helping with the food, then he's almost certainly going to run into Grune, who is... "helping" with the food. Yup.]

Hello, Helios! Isn't it nice that everyone is having a good time?

[She's kinda forgotten about the meeting part of this. This is another party, right?]
