And so, the Inevitable Return - [Open, Office Hours]

It's safe to say that Isis is back when she's already made the subtle changes of various official documents. She's already told her classes that she will still answer to 'Miss Macrow' or varients thereof, since 'Macrow-Takashima' is a bit of a mouthful to say ( Read more... )

It looks like there's another visitor on the way, although this one is making her way through the hall a lot less quickly, and is taking in as much of the building as she can. Not to say that she's lost or anything like that. Just...Memorizing the campus layout is taking more time then she thought.

But by now, Mitsuru is pretty sure that this is the right section of the school, and she's close to the right room.

"Instructor Macrow-" Just to be safe, she says that before stepping through the doorway. And then takes a second look at her class schedule.

"...Takashima?" Yeah, that is a mouthful.

Isis beams at the new arrival! "You can just say 'Macrow', if you wish, since the full name is a little-bit of a mouthful. But, regardless, hello! I'm guessing you're a newer student, because I don't remember you in my classes before I left."

Ah, so this is the right room. Some of that tenseness goes out of her, although Mitsuru still stays standing straight up and attentive.

"Thank you, Instructor Macrow." That rolls off the tongue a lot more easily. "Yes, I just enrolled for this term. I came to see if there was any material I needed to go over before attending class."

It is, at that! Isis mainly waited until she got back to change documents over because it was easier that way. "You're welcome." Isis is in a good mood, and it's incredibly obvious. She wears most of her emotions out on her sleeve, "Well, let's see." Isis flips through a couple of the papers, "You're in Ethics of Magic, so you're presumably a magic user, yes?" Isis glances to her, "May I ask what it is you can do?"

It should be noted that Isis does not blab if her students don't wish her to. But then, she's not really notorious for blabbing it out period. As this sorts of conversations are about trust and honesty.

Mitsuru understands the definition of terms like 'trust' and 'honesty.' She just hasn't learned how to apply those things to herself, and her dealings with other people.

She nods in response to the question about having any powers, before explaining. "Yes, ma'am. I've learned over the years that I can drop the temperature around me to create ice, as well as manipulate it to do what I want. And if I concentrate on someone's injuries, it's possible for me to heal them. If not completely, then at least partially." There's a moment of hesitation, and then she adds on another bit.

"I've also found that I can detect creatures in my world, and a few other people in my world. But to be honest, it's not a strong ability."

Isis nods, thoughtfully, "An ice mage, basically, then. With healing powers, interesting." She muses aloud thoughtfully, although non-offensively.

She nods again to the second ability, "Most magic users tend to have some sort of extrasensory ability coupled with their abilities. I can see auras, for example."

"Ethics of Magic is a class where we end up doing a lot of discussing between myself and the students, as well as yourselves. To learn from mistakes yourself and others have made, and to learn to react better in specific situations."

"To be frank, I never expected to have healing abilities when I started learning how to control my powers."

If Mitsuru finds this musing over her abilities to be offensive, she certainly doesn't show it. In fact, she's giving her instructor and equal amount of curiosity...Although she's trying hard to temper it with some respect.

"It's a relief to know that; I enrolled here because I wanted a wider perspective. And a better idea on how these things work." She hesitates for a moment, and it looks like there's something else on her mind.

"...And...Instructor, when you say 'auras' does that mean that you can actually see some sort of light around me?" That's the closest thing that comes to mind when she thinks back on the few books she's read on the subject.

Isis nods, looking thoughtful. "Well, I hope we can help you with that."

"And yes, if I'm consciously looking for them, anyway. I can see them." She pauses, thinking about how to word this. English isn't her first language, so occasionally, there are issues in translation in regards of how to explain things, "I see it as a sort of light-dark balance of an individual, and how it relates to them that way. If they're magic users," Or close enough to being magic users, "it is generally brighter, and has colors to go with it."

Mitsuru does follow most of her instructor's explanation, although the discussion jumps out of her book based smarts pretty quickly. The fact that there's no mention of anything else that sounds familiar tips her off that any of her world's books are going to be next to useless for the class.

"So, what you can see varies on a scale between two things, and anything supernatural has it's own mark?" For a moment, she's tempted to ask what hers looks like...And then decides she's probably better off not knowing yet.

"It feels like I should be taking notes already." She says instead.

Well, they'll be useful for when discussions of comparing the different magics come up! Isis likes to do those, on occasion, because she studies different types of magics as a sort of hobby. Why take in only from one place, and be static and unchanging, when you can learn from a whole wealth of places, and new things as a result?

"Mmmhmm." Isis wouldn't mind being asked, as it's something that occasionally comes up with her friends.

That last bit earns an amused chuckle out of her, though, "That sort of thing happens a lot, yes." She beams, and then looks thoughtful, "All in all..." Isis hms for a moment and glances to one of the bookshelves beside her. She gestures and there's a little bit of a muted flare of Light energy, and a notebook appears in one hand, "This should help you get caught up." A beat, "It's in English, which I hope isn't a problem?"

"No, it shouldn't be." After her experiences in the Velvet room, Mitsuru is starting to build up a tolerance to things suddenly appearing out of the air. She still has a ways to go, though, and has to spend a few seconds blinking to clear up her eyes.

"I can read in that language well enough." She starts to reach out for the book, but stops short when she remembers something else needs to be said.

"And, thank you Instructor. I'll take good care of it."

((OOC: Question! Anything specific in that book that should be noted?))

Isis beams, then "Good." Another thoughtful pause, "Will there be anything else?"

(( Nope, just an ordinary notebook. XD ))

Mitsuru bows her head a little to show proper gratitude.

"I can't think of anything beyond catching up with the rest of your class." Once the book is in her hands, it gets safely stowed away in her student bag. "And speaking of which, I'd like to excuse myself. I've got some studying to do." ...Why, why does she make the term 'study' sound like it's a good thing?
