Daybreak Town

As the sun began to set, the Master known as Luxu appeared via teleport to the residential area in which Gula's abode was located. He arrived at the doorstep instantly, somehow figuring that in spite of being able to rewind time, he had ended up being late. No matter; if this turned out to be the case, perhaps he could simply rewind and redo things. He would soon know whether this was the path to take or not. Without much more hesitation, he chose to simply knock on the door. One would note upon seeing the young man that, at this time, he chose to wear his typical baggy blue pants and red jacket, instead of the black coat he had been seen in otherwise.

Gula had managed to finish her cleaning and had settled into her normal outfit which was an assortment of light linen clothing and brown leather. Once she was dressed she looked at herself and wondered if this was okay. Regardless of that situation she was left to a couple of last minute pick ups of items and organization. While she rushed about inside she soon heard a knock at the door. "Oh? Uh... Just a minute." she rushed about finally feeling like she'd accomplished what she needed to and after about thirty seconds of last minute cleaning she opened her door and found herself to be a tiny bit out of breath. "I ah... hi Sion." she finally managed taking note that this young man was no longer covered from head to toe either. It was quite an interesting sight to see. "Come in." she mentioned stepping to the side to allow the boy into her apartment which was more or less like a large library. Every wall was a bookshelf filled with countless tomes many of which she'd written herself about various things concerning the world they lived in and the creatures to be found there. Battle skills, the things created and utilized by her peers and any other thing that caught her interest.

"Take your time!" replied the man who, in this state, would continue to acknowledge himself by his given name, Sion. Soon, the door opened, permitting the young man to gaze upon his host for the evening. Luckily enough, he had avoided the first mistake of donning his Master attire only to find Gula, or rather, Temperance in her casual ensemble. With that in mind, though, he decided to also avoid the probable mistake of addressing the apparent state of undress she chose to go for. Of course, this didn't bring halt to a glance as he entered the building. "Good evening, Temperance. I appreciate that you didn't make me feel awkward by being in robes and a mask."

The young man seemed to have taken to her casual state of dress. Of course, she never saw anything wrong with the way she dressed such was quite a normal state of attire for her. Soon enough she was speaking up about her state of dress anyways. "Well, it isn't like I sit around my house in a mask and robes... I am fairly certain the only person who'd do something like that would be the Master... and maybe Hiro, he's a bit weird." she mentioned after the boy stepped inside she'd close the door behind him and begin moving about her study. "Make yourself at home, and feel free to grab whatever tomes you need. I don't know what you're researching yet, but if you let me know I can help~" the young woman chimed.

"The Master definitely does, and Hiro probably would, now that you mention it," he said. "It's good that you don't, though. I mean... wait," he stammered, thinking for a moment about rewinding things to repair his misplaced statement, but deciding against it in the event that Temperance would adjust to the sensation of time alteration. Continuing onward, he chose to address the young woman's clothing for the sake of his own curiosity. "So am I actually early, or...? I mean, not to sound full of myself, but isn't that a bit... light?" he asked. Even while carrying on with this strange topic, he began looking around the room to search the female Master's book collection. "Honestly, I only made the assumption that you'd have what I need. I maybe should have asked Hiro, but... well... do you have anything about Drive Forms?"

"Oh?" the girl said seemingly amused as Sion seemed to stumble over his words a bit when deciding how to go about complimenting the young woman on her choice in clothing. Even so, she had no problem with this and simply shrugged it off. "Why thank you~" she mentioned moving right along. She began to look for more of her own books, but as she did this, it seemed that he took interest in her present state of undress. "Oh, well there is normally a skirt... but... it gets in the way of the tail and ink ends up everywhere. It's a pain... so I don't bother when I am at home... and I figured I'd be doing a bit of writing today anyways." she mentioned. One would notice that attached to the leather at her waist was a large magical looking pen which seemed like a large gem. Moving right along there was the question of what she about drive forms she looked around the room and smiled. "Third shelf, far wall... half way in... there should be a couple of tomes there about that."

"So you're just comfortable foregoing the skirt, even though... wait... tail?" he questioned as he continued scanning the books. When he next looked toward Temperance, he took note of the tail attached to her person. At its tip, was something he very much recognized, as it was a creation of his own muse for the woman's sake. "That's what you wanted that for? I thought you'd use it as a pen. Well... a normal one, anyway." With that said, and with directions given, Sion moved toward the designated shelf to find three tomes. A quick scan informed him that one detailed Drive Forms, while another was focused on Valor Form, and the final one focusing Wisdom Form. Sion picked up all three books, but held the most interest in the former. "Oh, you've got three! And in detail! You wrote these yourself?"

She knew that this was probably odd to the young man with her, but comfort and lack of ink contamination were the best thing for their present situation. "I wanted to be able to write three things at once. So... I use it as a pen with its own control mechanisms... it took a bit of practice to get it down to writing my thoughts while my hands were occupied but... I can do it now as easily as I do everything else. It just requires a bit of focus." she mentioned. Soon enough she'd move to sitting at her desk, specifically she's sitting on her desk and writing with her tail while keeping a couple of the books levitated with static electricity. "Ah, yeah... I wrote all of them. I probed Hiro for all the information." she said about the drive forms. "Actually, for everyone who created some new kind of combat form. It's needed for posterity. I have several for you as well... a couple shelves up detail magic and magical items~" she said seeming to be a cross between a little bashful and prideful. "So, what are you looking into drive forms for?" she asked as she began her writing seemingly excited.

"That's... actually a very admirable skill. Kudos." As Temperance took a seat at her desk, Sion trailed behind her. He looked up momentarily in this moment to find the woman's ensemble quite... different from the rear. "Uh..." he muttered, though he couldn't bring himself to form any actual words to address the matter. Instead, he continued toward the desk and took to Temperance's side with his book of choice open at its edge. "I think there's more to Drive Forms than even Hiro realizes. Think about it. Focusing power, focusing Magic... why can't we force both to their maximum potential?"

"Thank you~ I quite enjoy that I can write three tomes simultaneously." mentioned the girl. It seemed like the young man with her was stunned into silence, or perhaps he was simply thinking. He recovered quickly enough to be able to say what he thought of Drive forms and had the hypothesis that they could be maximized in some way. "Well, given what I know about Drive forms, there is no real reason you shouldn't be able to do both. I doubt Hiro would have thought of such a possibility, but I could see them working. I would be quite pleased to document such a thing." she said of the expansion of the Drive forms. She was always fascinated by new things, and the sort of expansion that Sion was talking about would be massive.
