The heck? How am I even supposed to memorize that?!

[Nagi madly flips through his spell book, flopped out on a mushroom on the third floor, wearing his black shirt and pants. More like angrily laying on it, unable to keep this stuff in his mind long enough to memorize it. It took him years to memorize his lightning spells. Having to relearn to ice was just as difficult. And yes, his pronunciation was horrific and stilted in a way only a person with a English accent could pull off.]

Does Greek really need to be that hard??

Fine, next! Latin...

....god, I'm still bad at Latin too.

Immitte. Okay, I can remember that word. Immitte. Immitte. Immitte. Got it.

Maybe?

[He finally gives up, yelling loudly to anyone who can hear.]

Tell me someone around can speak Latin or ancient Greek! I'm about to die over here!

I assumed you were famished. Why are you still here wasting more time speaking to me?

[2wei]

Double digits?!

[ Thanks for being so kind, Nagi. ] Um, let's see...

[ Give her a moment. She's going to grab a stick and draw some lines on the ground. It seems to be something of this nature. ] So that's one ten, three ones that way-- and then there's two tens and seven ones that way. If I count the intersections of this one...

[ She counts on her fingers and writes it all out with an inquisitive hum. ] It's 351, right?

I 'unno. Just seein' what you had to say. You're weird enough that it makes it worth the while.

[bestworstdad]

Beats me! I failed out of school when I was six so I don't know that stuff.

[Don't ask how he managed that so young.]

( action )

[knight_king]

Kuh.

[Her eyes narrow into a glare. She has tolerated his insults before, but this is uncalled for. She places her hands on her hips and looks at him crossly.]

If you continue to mock me, my assistance will cease.

[2wei]

... Why would you ask a question you don't know the answer to?

( action )

[bestworstdad]

Don't worry so much! It's what friends do.

[bestworstdad]

Just to see if you'd complain or not, I guess!

( action )

[knight_king]

I did not know we were close enough to be regarded as friends.

[Her irritation only increases at his presumption.]

( action )

[bestworstdad]

What the hell is up with that, we're totally pals!

[2wei]

... That's why?

( action )

[knight_king]

Hm.

[She has only considered Nagi as a -rather obnoxious at times- ally and nothing else. Such revelation should not be surprising.]

I will not argue this topic with you. Go to have your meal and come back to finish memorizing the ice spell.

[bestworstdad]

I don't see the problem with that.

( action )

[bestworstdad]

Yah, yah. Be back later.

[Yes, he's getting his ass on the move.]

[knight_king]

[Finally. Now she can meditate when she's left in peace alone. She crouches and sits Japanese-style again and breathes deeply to relax her limbs. Although she manages this, she feels her inner peace decreasing. Their conversation generally gets under her skin and it's troublesome.]

[evantuality]

[He manages to startle a young man a few mushrooms over, bent over his own precious sheets of paper and intermittently muttering to himself.

Evan looks up, his face a portrait of surprise and indignation at being interrupted. However when the words sink in he can't quite help himself at the opportunity to show off knowledge. He calls from his own mushroom.]

I know a small amount of Latin. And I can conjugate -- or I could last time I tried. I haven't had to in a while. What do you need?

[2wei]

... I suppose. [ She shrugs her shoulders wide without a care in the world. ]

So, are we going to train today, Nagi-sensei..?

[bestworstdad]

What, you'd like to start now? I can do that, kiddo.

[bestworstdad]

Conju-what?

Look, just tell me a way to remember these words better.

[He waves his spellbook around, not even caring that the words written in them are impossible to see like that.]

( action )

[bestworstdad]

[Nagi ends up being gone.

For a disturbingly long time. DOES SABER EVEN NOTICE?]

[2wei]

Yeah! I've been training every day since I got here, so I'm always ready.

[bestworstdad]

Alright then!

[Nope, no warning at all. He just swings a punch at her face.

Yeah, if she can't react in time, he'll stop himself but it's all part of the test.]

[celena]

My knowledge of Latin extends only as far as being able to write out the letters of that script. Is it wise to share your magic spells around so freely?

[2wei]

[ Illya wasn't ready for that, so she has no chance to transform. However, she does manage to jump back right at the split second of that punch before invoking a partial Prism Trance only causing her hair decorations to change slightly. ]

( action )

[knight_king]

[SWEET.

Saber does notice. But she has given her word she would assist, so she waits as long as it takes. Gradually reclaiming her sense of peace as she meditates on the same spot where he left her.]
