Hey, got a quick question for the magic people on the train who used books to learn! Any of you got any book titles you can share? Or know how a guy can learn to summon, get fiends or...uh, [ His voice grows quiet, but still audible. ] What should I call them?

...

--Youma! [ ok he's back ] Anyone who knows how to summon youma! Or any magic that's uhh... useful, but not for a fight. Anything at all!

[ Yeah that's helpful, right. ]

My pal's here with me, Taiki-- he's summoned before, but he's looking to find new ways to do it--so anything you can tell us would be great! Thanks!

( ooc: taiki longforgottenpromise may answer responses! )

"Erm, that is incredibly dangerous. Summoning isn't my strongest form of magic, but I understand enough of it to go over the basic things to do and not to do."

"As for supernatural law. It depends on the entity you are contracting. I don't really know much about youma and would need to research them before I can comment on that."

"It was different for Taiki where he's from," Tidus decides to chime in. Since the guy probably won't explain himself very well (not in his own defence). "He's a kirin, and kirin have youma to defend them since they can't fight. There was a lot of work to put in it! But 'cause youma are usually around," or so Tidus thinks, "it's not easy to do any of that here."

Well, that's one reason, right?

"But he's willing to learn anything and everything. And it doesn't have to be youma! Even something else. Some basic magic too. If he can form a bond with something in the first place, he has some kinda skill--right?"

Just- "We don't know where to look or to start."

[longforgottenpromise]

He just nodded. She was right it was dangerous but Tidus was right too, it was something that was natural for Kirin to do.

"I don't know much about them either. They are creatures that live in the Yellow sea... Which isn't actually a sea with water sorry, but more a desert. They also appear in kingdoms that have lost their king, causing devastation on the people there. When we bind them we... bring them to the light, causing them to serve the gods."

He doubts there are youma, at least the youma he knows, anywhere else. But as Tidus said, any kind of summoning would be... something.

"Well, I can see if you have the potential for magic and teach the basics. But it would be the magic I know. Like I said, my sister was the summoner, not me. As for monster binding, I'd need to see it in action or read some books to say more about that."

[longforgottenpromise]

He nodded, "Um... Okay. If you don't mind I mean... I don't want to be a bother."

He glanced at Tidus, he wants to learn but at the same time he doesn't want people to go out of their way to teach him, books might have been easier after all.

[blitzcheer]

At that glance, Tidus nods at Taiki, but he speaks up to them both.

"That's a good idea. Sakura was a teacher where she's from, and you wanted to learn the basics anyway, right? This'll make it easier."

And he nods again. "You'll do your best, right Taiki? We'll start at the beginning for now. Work on summoning later."

"Honestly, back home, I took on teaching projects to deal with the tedium of things. I've been doing this for around 700 years, and lately, I've been spending most of my time watching sugar water evaporate."

She shakes her head, "I wouldn't worry about it."

[longforgottenpromise]

"Ah apologies..." He had guessed she was older than she sounded but seven hundred is impressive, even if there are those on the train older.

"Um... sugar water?" A glance at Tidus. Does that make any sense to him?
