Self Confidence the Ares Way, [Thursday, Period 2]

Jun 07, 2007 23:02

"So," Ares said, after the class had arrived at the main campfire. "Last week, you all decided that the best thing to do after being banished from your village was to raise an army to create a kind of bufferzone to prevent your village being attacked again." Which they hadn't, exactly, but Ares wasn't going to let that stop him ( Read more... )

Talk, gossip, wonder what the hell this has to do with Self-Confidence...

Karal spent most of the lecture just watching Ares, in what could be described as a vaguely disapproving manner, while Altra sat on the desk, shifting to keep himself between Ares and Karal.

"He is not a god," Karal muttered.

Altra kept mum on the subject.

Naminé leaned over slightly, overhearing Karal's words. She waited until it seemed like Ares wasn't paying attention, and then murmured back, "Are you certain?"

Re: During the lecture - Self-Con [Class Four] vkandis_son June 8 2007, 01:22:07 UTC

Startled, Karal glanced at her. "He can not be," he said firmly, no room in his voice for doubt. "A god would not behave as he does."

Altra flicked his ears, back and forth, and glanced at Naminé, before returning to Ares watching.

Naminé looked at Ares, and then back at Karal again. "Hades is the vice-principal here, isn't he?"

Re: During the lecture - Self-Con [Class Four] vkandis_son June 8 2007, 01:46:08 UTC

Altra twitched. "I think so?" Karal replied hesitantly. He'd heard the name, but he'd yet to encounter the vice-principal. "Is that, I mean, is that important?"

Re: During the lecture - Self-Con [Class Four] palestshadow June 8 2007, 02:07:38 UTC

"It might be. It's possible that he isn't the Hades I know." Naminé looked down for a moment. "But if it is, then ... I'm not certain that you're right, about the behavior of gods."

Re: During the lecture - Self-Con [Class Four] vkandis_son June 8 2007, 02:14:44 UTC

"Ares apes a god of legend in this world, and I believe he may be a mage, but that does not make him an actual god," he said firmly, tempering it with a smile. Karal had an extremely idealised view of gods, based as it was on his Vkandis and the Shin'a'in's Star-Eyed. "Perhaps this Hades does the same thing. A true god watches over his people, sets them on the path to find a good future. He does not indulge in petty maliciousness and nasty tricks."

Altra twitched again, tail lashing once across the desk, before he settled.

Re: During the lecture - Self-Con [Class Four] palestshadow June 8 2007, 02:22:21 UTC

"Perhaps you're right. The Hades I knew -- knew of, I suppose is more correct -- was dangerous, conniving and manipulative. He played people against one another and schemed. He was also very powerful and did not forgive injury. Not one to be taken lightly."

Naminé looked to Altra, and then back at Karal. "Your cat is very beautiful," she smiled.

Re: During the lecture - Self-Con [Class Four] vkandis_son June 8 2007, 02:37:53 UTC

This was a topic Karal felt much easier about. And by Altra's reaction - turning to look at Naminé with approval - so did he. Though he was a cat, so praise of any kind always went over well. "Thank you," he said. "Though he is his own cat more than he is mine."

Re: During the lecture - Self-Con [Class Four] palestshadow June 8 2007, 03:33:47 UTC

Naminé laughed lightly. "I have heard that, of cats. That they have servants less than owners. I respect that. May I ... ?" She held a hand out tentatively.

Re: During the lecture - Self-Con [Class Four] vkandis_son June 8 2007, 03:39:03 UTC

"It is up to him." Karal looked at the 'cat. Altra?

Altra flicked his ears once more then moved so he could sniff Naminé's hand, rubbing the side of head against her fingers while he purred. :You meet the nicest people.:

Re: During the lecture - Self-Con [Class Four] palestshadow June 8 2007, 04:56:07 UTC

"Of course, my apologies for not asking him directly," Naminé smiled.

She reached out to scritch the top of Altra's head, amused. "It's very nice to meet you. And I would have asked you next, I promise."

Re: During the lecture - Self-Con [Class Four] vkandis_son June 8 2007, 10:39:49 UTC

:I really like her.:, he said, eyes going half closed as he purred harder.

"I am quite certain he took no offence," Karal said, hiding a smile as he watched Altra. "Or, if he did, you are forgiven."

Re: During the lecture - Self-Con [Class Four] palestshadow June 9 2007, 03:11:44 UTC

"I'm glad to hear it. I believe cats are more direct on the matter than most people. No point to holding a grudge on someone who is willing to scratch your ears, after all," Naminé laughed, continuing to do so. "It's pragmatic. I don't believe I caught his name?"

"..." This? Was all a bit more than a Muppet like Robin could conceive of.
