You seemed pretty tired and were injured pretty bad, so I wanted to make sure that you were ok.” Rob nodded. “Well, I am ok. How’s Shana?” He felt a little guilty at how much he’d hurt her during the sparring.

How’s Shana?” He felt a little guilty at how much he’d hurt her during the sparring. “She’s fine. All she needs is a little rest.” Ben decided to understate her exhaustion. Rob was probably feeling just as guilty as Shana was.
old man moomba he/him Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 "Sure," Jamie said cheerfully, "Where I live, Metalborn aren't uncommon at all."

Rob was probably feeling just as guilty as Shana was. Rob nodded. “That’s good,” he said. Sighing he looked up at Ben. “I’m sorry man, doing that to your girlfriend. Tell her I’m sorry too.” He paused, and slid back down on his back, looking at the roof.

Lunamor she/her Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 27 minutes ago, I think I am here. said: Rob nodded. “That’s good,” he said. Sighing he looked up at Ben. “I’m sorry man, doing that to your girlfriend. Tell her I’m sorry too.” He paused, and slid back down on his back, looking at the roof. Ben nodded. “I will.” Feeling awkward and not knowing what else to do, Ben left, closing the door behind him. He walked to Shana’s room and cracked open the door. Peering in, he saw that she had already fallen asleep, as he had expected. He didn’t think anyone that tired would have been able to stay awake for so long. He smiled at the happy expression on her face. Shutting the door, he went back outside to retrieve his book. ===================== Glint lingered for a while after Mahad left, pulsing with indecision. He really didn’t want to leave the feather they had found, but something could be seriously wrong. Eventually, he decided that he should go check on Ben. If Shana was in trouble, he could be too. He returned to find Ben helping Shana up the stairs, her head resting on his. They both seemed fine, so he went back outside to search for some pretty leaves. After a while, Ben came back outside. Glint zoomed onto his shoulder, knowing Ben could feel his presence. He didn’t offer any explanation to where he had gone- Ben could likely figure it out on his own. ===================== Ben noted Glint’s reappearance on his shoulder. He had probably been off somewhere looking for eggshells or something like that with Mahad. He scooped up his book and walked back inside. He saw yet another new person sitting on the couch talking with Leona and Flid. They used to only find another Radiant once every few months- why were they getting so many new ones so quickly? He shook his head, then retreated to his customary corner to read. He didn’t want to interrupt their conversation.
Bookish Ocelot she/her Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Leona saw Ben walk in and sit down. She waved him over. "Ben, this is Jamie. She eats metal and apparently gets powers from it."

She eats metal and apparently gets powers from it." Highly confused by her statement, Ben came over. “Hello, I’m Ben.” He extended his hand for a handshake. He had certainly had enough practice with that lately. @Dr. Dapper Edited April 23, 2019 by Lunamor

overlord stick Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Cassie seemed really excited about something. Wonder what that's about, Berk thought. "Hey Cassie, you okay?"
AonEne he/him Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 Quote Pffft okay I looked over, startled. Flid, one of the newcomers. "What? Yes. I'm fine, why?"

She had another girlfriend a few months back and they broke up hard. I'll get my post in a bit. Edited April 23, 2019 by Dr. Dapper I can't time.
overlord stick Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Flid shrugged. "You seem really excited about something."
AonEne he/him Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 Quote Oof, Cass may have troubles, then. I blinked, wondering why. "Er...sorry, I don't know what to say."
old man moomba he/him Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Quote Why's that? Jamie tentatively shook Ben's hand. "Ok. I'm no scholar in the Metalic Arts, but I'll explain a bit to you. As the name implies, the Metalic Arts are rooted in metal. The first art is called Allomancy. It involved metabolizing metal to gain power. The second art, called Feruchemy, allows you to store attributes, like speed or strength in metals and draw them out later. In both the Arts, the type of metal is important, as are your genes. Both powers are hereditary."
overlord stick Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 "Hereditary? But wouldn't people just marry for powers?"

He was burning with questions, but decided to let Jamie answer Flid’s before releasing them.
AonEne he/him Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 Quote Would having broken up make Jamie more reticent to dating again?
old man moomba he/him Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 "Why?" Jamie asked, "People marry based on who they love, not how powerful their kid's gonna be. Plus, marrying an Allomancer or Feruchemist doesn't ensure you'll have a kid who has powers."
overlord stick Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 "That's really interesting. Wait, didn't you say 3? What's the third one?"
old man moomba he/him Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 1 minute ago, Emperor Stick said: "That's really interesting. Wait, didn't you say 3? What's the third one?" Quote She didn't say three on purpose. Hemalurgy is a big secret. Most Metalborn don't know about it.
overlord stick Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Quote Sorry, I miss-read it. Disregard that.
Lunamor she/her Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 13 minutes ago, Dr. Dapper said: "Why?" Jamie asked, "People marry based on who they love, not how powerful their kid's gonna be. Plus, marrying an Allomancer or Feruchemist doesn't ensure you'll have a kid who has powers." “Question. Well, actually, several. What are the different powers caused by burning different metals? Can people having varying degrees of power with the same metal? Can all Allomancers and Feruchemists use all of their respective metals? Do they share the same metals? Can someone be both a Feruchemist and Allomancer?” Ben spun, realizing he didn’t have any way of recording Jamie’s answers. He held up his book, and realized he had been using a pencil as a bookmark. He memorized his page number, then flipped to the end pages and got ready to write.
old man moomba he/him Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 "There are sixteen metals, which both Metalborn use. I have a sheet some where with all 36 Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities. And um, yes, someone can be both an Allomancer and a Feruchemist. You're looking at one." Jamie finished and took a deep breath. She had drank all the coffee, and was starting to feel a bit fidgety.
Lunamor she/her Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Just now, Dr. Dapper said: "There are sixteen metals, which both Metalborn use. I have a sheet some where with all 36 Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities. And um, yes, someone can be both an Allomancer and a Feruchemist. You're looking at one." Jamie finished and took a deep breath. She had drank all the coffee, and was starting to feel a bit fidgety. “So you can use all 36 abilities?” Ben said, his eyes widening. That was a lot of power.
