Broken Doll

[Guest]

Eien ran hurriedly towards the Training Square. Morpheus had said that there will be a practice session there, but he was late.

There were people practicing in the Training Square when he got there. He figured that he might disturb the session if he just barged in, so he stood at the entrance and took a peek, deciding to just watch.

Jack, Adonia and Jane seemed to be practicing with...a woman? No, at a closer look, it seemed to be just an animated mannequin. It was a heated battle until Jack managed to cleave it in two. Eien smiled at his senior's success. He was about to clap for him, but what soon ensued astonished him.

He was left silent after hearing the tragic tale of the girl's spirit. The practice session seemed to have been over. Eien stared at the broken doll from where he stood. There were some questions lingering in his mind about it. He also found himself wanting to fix it.

Jack looked and listened a with a little bored expression on his face. "Love....so dangerous" he muttered and hovered over the doll, halfway to a kneel, inspecting the mannequin. Completing his small inspection he walked over toward the nearest wall, propped his weapon against the bricks and hopped up to lay across the top, enjoying the warm sun a lot more than he had done yesterday. Opening his functioning eye he noticed a red haired boy stood at the entrance and the pirate traced his line of sight. He was looking at the doll. "Eyup there!" he yelled, sitting up lazily with no rush in him whatsovever. "Whats tha matter wit yer matey"

Eien quickly snapped out of his musings. He looked up at the fifth year atop the wall, finding him to be quite an interesting person.

"Afternoon, senior! You did a good job back there," he waved back with a grin. The Lampad looked back to the mannequin, "But pity, isn't it? That such a beautiful thing is broken..."

Galene rushed herself to the training square, cursing herself for having overslept. She knew about the training with an ancient manequim with an odd story and was eager to practice a bit. But her late nights praying to the gods and reading made her fell asleep and wake up late.

As she got there, she sighed seeing the practice was over and the manequim was layed on the floor. She heard from the students her story and sadness stroke her. a melancholic sigh coming out of her mouth. Both Eien and Jack were there too, she could hear their voices. She decided to approach and caught their conversation. "Sorry to interrupt but... Eien, are you thinking in repairing the manequim?" she said, bowing at Jack but directing herself to the other student.

[Guest]

"Sure. The woman's lover had made it to keep memories of her. It's a symbol of their love. I want to fix the mannequin as a reminder of their tale."

He looked at the pile on the floor.

"I wonder if Sir Morph would let me..."

"Aye s'posse" Jack shrugged and eyed te suspicious looking bird hopping across the bricks with a piece of string with beads locked between in its beak. Shooing Braelyn with a harsh flick of the wrist he looked back down at the boy and saw Galene come into the conversation. "Ey Galene lass...god what time did all ya little un's gan to bed last night?" Adding the last bit mockingly but in itself making him feel old, he hopped down in a spritley manner and cracked his back in a stretch. "Right, gan on then if yer ganna fix it, or it'll nee get done" With the occasional glance at the ruffled osprey on the wall he sauntered over to the mannequin and looked at the pieces again. "Well its a nice, clean cut...I didn't make a mess so it should be easy to mend...aye"

Galene loved the words that came out of Eien's mouth and the faintest smile appeared on her lips. She made sure Jack didn't noticed it so she kept her eyes over the fallen manequim.

"Well, I stayed up late doing some reading myself. It's a bit addictive to read and good to know they don't turn to stone." she said, rolling her eyes behind her blindfold. "But I guess it's a good idea to fix it... she deserves it and I heard her soul mate is still roaming around the Athenaeum." she said, touching the manequin's face gently.

"Right," he said, agreeing to Jack's words. He listened to Galene's words about the doll's soulmate.

"Haha, then it surely won't do if the other doll finds her like this," Eien said as he dug around in his bag to see if he had some glue.

"Found it. I usually use this to stick my bombshells together. ...I guess it's also strong enough for wood. Might glue some extra pieces to be sure..."
