Greenhouse — Kruger

"It's no problem...!" Arnett insists to Kruger, before returning to his work as well.

Greenhouse — Annika

Arnett looked rather excited to hear Annika was into art too.

"You're into ceramics? I could never really get the opportunity to practice that as much— um..." Arnett suddenly gets a bit shaky in the knee— worried that he just said something dumb and now had to try and save it. "That's really cool, though...! How long have you been doing it...?"

Dining Room

Arnett basically had zero experience with cooking, so pretty much nothing came to mind when Rheinberg cuisine was brought up. He scratched his cheek in response.

"I'm not sure, I've, um... never actually cooked before...? I've just heard artists tend to be good at cooking... er... maybe I should just stick to doing appetizers or something..." Arnett said, confidence beginning to waver as he suddenly started wishing he could turn around and hightail it.

"A-ah- um, yeah! Well, I've been kind of trying to get out a bit more often, usually..." Arnett awkwardly stammers in response to Annika. He wasn't the leading expert on plants, but he wanted to at least give it a shot.

He also gave Kruger a tiny greeting. "Ah- H-hey." He still was a bit unsure of how to respond after the pep talk.

Just before the enchanter spoke, Claus cut in.

"Still a scholar, actually— not in the eyes of this Academy perhaps, but a certified scholar nonetheless in two different Academies."

He did, however, say no more as he patiently listened and waited.

Arnett will be promoting to Artist!
He gains the following class skills:
Droste Image: The Artist may summon an Imago into an empty adjacent space as their primary action. The Imago’s stats are all equal to the Artist’s, with the exception of its STR, which is equal to the Artist’s MAG, and their MAG, which is always 0. The Imago has no Skills. The Imago can be healed either through itself or through the Artist and protected by effects that protect the target from being reduced beneath 1 HP. The Imago cannot be traded with. The Imago can be dismissed from anywhere on the battlefield as long as its Artist is not downed. The Imago shares its HP with the Artist and disappears if the Artist or itself is reduced to 0 HP; the Artist is downed if the Imago is reduced to 0 HP.
The Imago is automatically equipped with a single weapon that cannot be broken, traded or removed from their inventory. Imagines have equal weapon skill to the highest level weapon available to them.
- Level 1: Leather Cestus
- Level 5: Iron Cestus
- Level 10: Steel Cestus
Artistic Cultivation: If the Imago and the Artist are within three spaces of each other, both receive +3 DMG/DR.

He also obtains:
First Class Personal Skill: Blending In (If Arnett is within 3 spaces of 7 units, +15 Evasion.)
Preferred Stats: Resistance, Magic
Proficiencies: Buffing (C), Staff (D)
Stat Bonus: +5 HP, +2 MAG, +1 SKL, +1 DEF, +2 RES, +2 SPD, +8 CON/AID, +5% DEF

Hortensia was absolutely abhorred having to listen to every bit of that song— her calm exterior had quickly become frazzled and immensely flushed. To top it all off, now Eirin was bothering her. If every time she went out she was going to be bombarded with commoner perversions and Aes Sedai clinginess, she was just going to assemble the largest public relations team she possibly could for all of her affairs involving this absolute nonsense.


"I am perfectly content with not watching these people throw their sticks and stones at each other for amusement, thank you." Her politeness was definitely slipping as a result of Thanes' song, on top of her obviously general lack of respect for the Aes Sedai.

Without responding, only looking over the area with a quiet and thoughtful gaze, Claus followed the guard.

Hortensia was already now in a pretty sour mood because of the music, and her attempts at trying to pay attention to the conversation were equally making her sour— the way that Eirin looked at her, after Hortensia managed to steal a glance, made her immensely uncomfortable. Not just because of... her secrets, but just the idea— were they all just on some kind of big recruitment scheme? If that Aes Sedai dared to approach her...


The nerve of these people...! Hortensia thought to herself, now opting to turn her nose up and just look at the top of the wagon.
