Snippet #2247691

Zac spoke up, "Is it ok if I store it in a different shape?" he asked. To illustrate his point, Zac began to spin his dagger once again. The blade was moving so fast, it seemed to slither and weave unnaturally in his hand, finally morphing into a snake with a silent animation spell. The metal snake rocketed out of his hand, morphing into a bird mid-jump. The little metal bird flitted in a circle before diving straight down. Finally the little bird turned into a little ball and landed squarely in his pocket. "My showing off aside, is it ok if I store it as such to practice rapid metal shaping?"

Lilly jumped out of her desk and grabbed a dagger, studying it closely. “So I get to carry a dagger with me? Everywhere and anywhere?” Lilly looked over at Robert. “You better watch out or I might get you instead of some fake Jersey Devil.”

Robert smiled as he tried to concentrate on Zac’s question. “I guess you could do that, Zachary.” But before he could finish, a dagger came flying across the room, barely missing his head.

“Wait, Robert. You said that you would attack us whenever you feel like? You didn’t mean while we were asleep, did you? Because I’m not exactly the nicest person when awoken in the middle of the night to commit fake murder,” Lilly said, leaning forward in her chair. “OZ is the only one who can get me up anyways. So if you come in raging, then I’m not going to respond. And, when we are on the trip, how are you going to tell whether or not we used magic to kill the Jersey Devil’s? I mean Zac could easily make a dagger and kill them, or I could use my shadow magic to make a dagger, or some water mage could slice through them.”

“Miss Bedford, you are acting as though you wouldn’t enjoy me popping up in your room in the middle of the night,” he said with a smile. “Besides, I wouldn’t be popping in for a for a midnight-murder session with you. But maybe a midnight session for something else though.” Robert sent her a wink. If she had any idea what he meant, then maybe it would get her to be a little quieter out of embarrassment. “I can tell because I’m a professional. Done with questions, Miss Bedford?”
