Kora smiled at Leo. "Well, why don’t I walk with you to the Skill Repository? It’s on the way to my apartment."
Leo raised an arm dramatically to point down the road.
"Forward! We have adventures to go on!"
Kora laughed at the little Tortollan, and followed as his stubby legs ran toward the repository.
"Leo is in a fine mood today." She noted.
"Of course, he’s got such a great story to tell all the students when he gets back to school tomorrow, and then there is the new equipment that he got.
He’s had a very busy week."
"Well, I can’t argue with that. It’s good for him, though. Getting a young boy out to see the world and meet new people are vital to their development.
If you just keep them at home, slaving away with school work, they never really develop that sense of self-preservation that Immortals need when they start going out into the world alone."
The chances of Leo ever truly going out into the world alone when he had a family like this were pretty low. But the sentiment was right.
"I will work on expanding his world view. He’s actually very young. Much younger than a human of his development. So, there is a lot that Leo hasn’t had a chance to see yet.
He’s seen plenty of combat, but when it comes to human relations and social interactions, he’s got some work to do.
After all, he’s not really Tortollan."
Kora nodded. "Yeah, even a False Island Giant Turtle doesn’t immediately learn to transform into a humanoid. But interacting with people who probably can’t understand you as a turtle is a lost cause."
Tian was paying no attention to them, he was thinking hard about all the skills that he was going to need.
He needed a morale buff, and a combat buff, and a not combat buff, and some sort of alternate damage skill, and maybe a wide area Fox Charm spell.
Bards should be able to do that, right?
Their first problem came when they tried to enter.
"Miss, no pets are allowed in the Repository," the attendant informed them.
{Not even cute ones? I need skill books.} Tian pleaded.
"Sorry, little fox. You are not a Clan Member, according to my sheet, and only one person may enter at a time."
This posed a problem for Tian.
He wanted to stay in Dana’s arms, as she smelled like fox and floral soap. But if only one could enter, that meant he had to be in his space. And that meant Karl had to be the one to take him inside.
[You have gotten spoiled.] Dana teased him.
[It’s so comfortable here, though.]
Dana poked him in the side, and Tian sighed before returning to his space, so Karl could do the shopping for him.
