"Be that as it may, it was not an appropriate thing to do", Silver replied. "There is a certain code of conduct that must be upheld here. One of which is also personal appearance. I do not know how you were taught and raised before, but you cannot walk about without being properly dressed. When I spoke to you about your clothing in training today, the garment you wore had your chest exposed for anyone to see. I do not know if you realize this, but there are great many young men who bare unclean thoughts and would attempt to take advantage of you because of that."

Oh, god... this is just one big lecture... next I probably tied my boots wrong today... Namen thought, feeling slightly frustrated, but outwardly she acted as if she weren't. "Yes, I'm sorry. It's just that I was raised in Aslomnia for the last five years of my life, and my great aunt taught me never to be embarrassed... most people in Aslomnia really don't get embarrassed by that kind of stuff... so I just never pay much mind to things that embarrass people normally... I'll work on my modesty, though, since the same rules don't apply here."

Feeling the girl's irritance and frustration, Silver sighed a bit before continuing. "Please understand that I am not here simply to lecture you. I know that may seem the case, but the fact of the matter is that, as a teacher, I have to uphold the rules here and look out for your well being as well as that of all the students. Especially considering what happened in the springs two days ago... I wish to avoid that happening again. Modesty is not so much the issue as taking your surroundings into consideration and protecting yourself."

Namen's frustration disappeared. "Yes, I understand." she said, having forgotten for the day that Silver was, indeed, a teacher and rule upholder, and not just a nice woman who was there for her to confide in.

With a slightly chagrined look on his face, Frederick says, "Oh, I'm sorry. My name's Frederick. Frederick Smith." He grins at Cyrus. Looking into the stall he's standing besides, he says, "Yay, last trip outside, then I can still squueze in a dip in the hot springs." As he gathers up his last shovelfull, he says to Cyrus, "And don't worry about your horse. Heh, I'm doing this job to help pay for the tutition here, so I have to do a good job. Not that I wouldn't anyways, just, ugh, that came out wrong." Looking a bit frustrated at himself, he continues, "You know what I mean, right?"

"Another thing I wanted to discuss with you... is your apparent problem with Miss Avalon. I know not what happened in the class; only that whatever it was upset you a great deal. I spoke with Miss Avalon on the matter, but the fact still remains that you and she share an uneasy relation with eachother." There was a pause. "You may see this as a burden, but I believe that this perhaps a test you are meant to face."

"I suppose that's not entirely impossible..." Namen thought out loud, tapping her index finger to the end of her nose as she had done that morning. "I suppose we'll see what comes of it... Was there anything else?"

Hiro said to Gengrou, "Hey Gengrou have you found who's going to teach you for tomorrow."
Akakage walked around and went to investigate the outside buildings. His first check was the chapel, when he looked he found no one in there so he started to head towards the stables.

"Yes, one last thing", Silver mentioned. "I know that you are displeased with working with the staff during training... but as I said, it is necessary. And as I mentioned, the personal training I offered you would be a great deal more difficult, and would be continuing the use of a staff until your skills progress. Do you still feel you are capable of handling the training?"

Namen was suddenly torn. Slumping, she rested her elbows atop her thighs as she scratched at her cheek with her left hand. She wanted to prove herself useful... but at the same time, she did rather dislike the staffs... However, it was all a matter of how badly she wanted to succeed, and she wanted to succeed something awful. "If... I can't get used to something as simple as a staff, I really have no business here, do I?" she asked out loud, though more to herself than to Silver. "I will still accept your training."

"I am glad to hear that." Silver promptly stood from the bed with the help of her staff. "Tomorrow we shall conitnue the training as normal. Your private lessons will begin two days after. Make sure you prepare yourself mentally for that time."
Silver then turned towards the door, stopping to look back at Namen once more as she grabbed the handle. "Also, today ends your restriction to your room. I hope that this has given you time to think about a few things. Remember, we are responsible for your well being... but you are responsible for your own as well." With that she opened the door. "Sleep well, Namen." She then closed the door and left to head to her own quarters.

Having run back to the springs to dress and rejoined Hiro, he walked alongside the boy in the halls back to their dorm room.
"Not know" he ansered to Hiro's question. "Not know who best teach me. Red Haired Teacher make axe very heavy... But not know how mean to help use."

Prah was still standing in the hall way asleep, as everything went on. She suddenly fell, and woke up upon hearing a door close. Shaking her head, she looked down the hall to see Silver walking down the hall. "Must have fallen asleep standing." She said to her self, as she started walking to her own area that was set up for her out side.

"Hmm... well I don't know. You should really call him Sensei or Akakage-sensei, but I know he learned a bit about how to use an axe. Umm... maybe Horatus would know how to do it. Try asking him. You know the scary white haired, creepy fanged guy."

Feeling a little stupid, Frederick takes his last shovel load outside and, after dropping it with the other droppings, heads back inside the stables, drops off the shovel, and heads off to the hot springs. Finally, he thinks to himself as he jogs down the hallway, I can clean myself off. I really have no desire to sleep smelling like I do now.

"Yes, Miss Silver." Namen said as Silver left the room. Namen sighed, pushing up off of her legs and leaning back on her elbows. She turned her face toward the ceiling. How she wished she could stare at a blank space like everyone else when they were tired or confused or worried... But I stare at blank space all day long...she thought, falling over sideways, her head landing on her pillow. I wonder if it is really that much more luxurious having sight... it's not like I miss it since I've never had it... but I'd still... Her legs were still hanging off of the bed. She continued to think, and after a moment, she finally drew her legs up under the covers and went to sleep.
