the vain must swallow their pride

Who: Ray, Yen Sid
What: Ray is seeking advice from her teacher about a certain pirate and an idea of hers.
When: Sunday afternoon
Where: Yen Sid's Tower

Ray stepped off the magic train, watching as it disappeared once more into the distance. She sighed and turned to the Tower entrance, only to find herself facing some odd creature she'd never seen before. It charged as soon as she moved to go around it, and reflexively, she countered it with a Thunder. When it didn't falter, she growled and threw a Fire at it, too, wincing as it shrieked and withdrew. She circled around it cautiously, sliding in through the door. She wasn't here for a fight... it was probably better to avoid creatures when she didn't know their weaknesses anyway.

She looked up, still marveling at the number of stairs in the Tower. It never ceased to amaze her how tall it was. Nevertheless, she started the climb and finally found herself at his door. She knocked politely and entered the room with a small smile.

"Master Yen Sid, I hate to come unannounced like this, but I wanted to ask you if you could help us at all..."

YenSid was standing by the window, arms crossed behind his back as he stared up at the stars. He waited a moment or two after Ray's arrival before turning and acknowledging her.

"Your arrival is not unexpected. Please have a seat."
