Located in a large room in the south tower of the school, the far wall of the classroom is entirely made of tinted glass (for the sake of those students who do not favor the light) and overlooks the forest. Desks and tables sporadically line two of the other walls, leaving the floor empty save for miscelaneous throw pillows and cushions, while the last wall is dominated entirely by a large bookshelf, full of books and scrolls dating from the earliest ages up to the present, and in every imaginable genre. In front of the bookshelf is the teacher's desk--which is usually covered in more books and papers--a tall bird's perch situated to the side and an intricate wooden stool to the other.

 Perched easily on the edge of her desk, Adamina stroked her small phoenix's head with one slim finger as she stared out the window with unseeing grey eyes. She had yet to come to terms with the feelings of ostracism coursing through her since she had come to the school. This was an entirely different experience than her tightly knit village community. "What are we to do with ourselves, my love?" she asked quietly as Uri rubbed his head against her palm in understanding. The elf smiled. "At least you can leave from time to time."

Ireland Weaver Ireland knocked on the door. "Adamina are you in?"He said opening the door a crack. He spotted her petting her phoenix. "If you're busy I can come back later." He stood there at the door. He didn't like awkward moments much.

Looking up from her companion's plumage, Adamina smiled at her fellow teacher and nodded. "Of course, please join me. Uri was merely keeping me entertained. I'm afraid I am unsure of what I should be doing with myself currently." She stood up from her desk and gestured toward one of the many seats in her classroom while she settled Uri on his perch, stroking his beak with a slender finger before turning back to Ireland. "I appologize for the lack of seating," she said with a small smile, brushing her hair away from her face. "My methods tend to be...unconventional, at best. Or so I have been told in the past." The elf shugged and clasped her hands in front of her. "Did you need me for something?"

Ireland WeaverIreland walked further and took a seat. "The seating is fine. My room is kind of like this. Plus unconventional can be fun for students." He smiled as he shaped a claw and scratched his chin. "I don't need anything. I'm just wandering around. All the other teachers are too busy to have a chat." He changed his hand back. He smiled a bit. "No one really knows what all is going on. I was hoping someone would know."

Nodding, she walked back toward her desk, hopping on top of it and crossing her legs. "I understand. I have not heard much either, in all honesty. The Principal is swamped with students and I do not know many of the other staff members." Adamina cast a momentary, curious look at the claw as it changed to a hand, but only raised a silent eyebrow in question. "Anything in particular you wish to...chat....about?" she asked, the word somewhat unfamiliar on her tongue.

Ireland WeaverIreland smiled. "Well. I am trying to figure out all the staff races. Along with some students." He looked at her. "What race of creature are you?" He said. He thought about what he had just asked. "Ugh.. Sorry about how I asked. History teacher with a curious mind." He looked at the phoenix and then back at her. He wasn't a great conversationalist. But he was always straight forward.

Letting out a soft laugh, Adamina shook her head and waved a slender hand in his direction. "It is no matter, I was wondering the same about you." She followed Ireland's eye as he glanced at Uri and smiled lightly. "I am an elf. Actually, my home village is located in another part of the school's forest; slightly over a day's journey from here. And Uri..." she paused, casting an affectionate glance toward her phoenix, chuckling as he cooed arrogantly at her. "Uri is a miniature phoenix."

Ireland WeaverIreland smiled when she laughed. "Very nice." He said looking ar Uri and her. "I am a shapeshifter." He quickly changed between his favorite forms. "But I lived on the otherside of the portal. The US so travel depends on portal. So I don't have a pet because I can become one." He couldn't help but chuckle at Uri. "What made you start teaching here?"

Adamina nodded appreciatively as she watched him shift. "Impressive, I will admit. But I do ask that you be careful calling Uri a 'pet'. He would disagree with you quite strongly." She chuckled again and shook her head, watching the phoenix in question preen as if he knew they were speaking of him, which he probably did. "Uri is my companion. I was there when he hatched. We grew up together...back in my village." For a moment, she was silent, thinking. "The village is the only other place I have lived before I came here. I was considered...an oddity in my community, and I decided it was time for a change." A small sigh escaped her lips as she thought back on her life with her family. "Many of my kind do not associate with mortals by choice. You all come and go so quickly."

Ireland WeaverIreland smiled at Uri. " I will be careful then. And I don't plan on leaving anytime soon."He looked down and then up. "I served my country and then got discharged when I got shot."He smiled. "A safer job being a teacher. But not many open back home. I heard of here and jumped right on."He still had some problems with PTSD but he was better. "So you and Uri grew up together. I had a pet dragon once. Died before joined the military." He smiled. "No one could get me and Wong apart. Why do you think mortals come and go?"

"Military?" she asked, almost reflexively. "That would explain how you carry yourself." Adamina grimaced in appology as she realized how that could have sounded and pushed her hair behind her pointed ears. She looked Ireland over carefully, debating how to answer his question. Standing up, she crossed the room until she was only a few steps away. "I would answer your question with a question, if I may?"

Ireland WeaverIreland smiled at her. He enjoyed his time in service. "The military was fun for a while."He wasn't sure about her reaction. He thought everyone knew about his time. He scratched his chin. "If it's a test I didn't study." He said jokingly. "Ask away. It seems fair since I was asking questions."He started to wonder what she would ask of him. He answered all questions. Unless it involved how many people he killed. Then he ignored it.

Smiling back, Adamina met his eyes before beginning her question. "No tests, I assure you. I told you I have been with Uri from the time he had hatched."b] She clasped her hands in front of her body and raised her eyebrows in a silent challenge. "Knowing all you do of history, how old do you assume that would make me?"

Ireland WeaverIreland scratched his chin. Finding out age by ones race and companion wasn't easy. "I enjoyed math. I might be off though." He thought long and hard. "By how you look.... You would be nineteen in human years. Adding in Uri and the growth rate of minuture phoenix. If I had to guess.... Also taking in account your diction.... About five hundred and forty five in elven years."He thought about his answer and nodded. His math was close. He felt like he might have insulted her. "Errr.... Sorry about the guess in age."He felt like one of the biggest jerks around on his guess.
