Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ronyo smiled at the girl as she appeared to be lost in her own thoughts for a brief moment. The darting of her eyes to the right showed she was accessing memory information which Ronyo deducted was likely trying to see if she had any information on him to relate back. Allowing the young lady her brief pause in thought Ronyo thought on the name of Balford and swore he had heard something about that family but for the life of him he could not recall it. It really did not matter, as it was likely none of his business in the first place. As she spoke of his two wands and inquired further about them Ronyo smile grew as he always like showing and talking about his wands.

"I do indeed lady Balford," With a flick of his wrists and a quick spin of each the Ash and African Blackwood wands were out in right and left hands respectfully, "There are days I feel graced with having two unique and great wands, and then days I feel the gift may have a curse as well. Those days are the ones were I turn an animal into one thing and the leg of my chair into another. However I am coming closer and closer to understanding the focus and mental faculties needed to properly use the two. If I'm lucky one day I may even be able to master them."

As Ronyo spoke he heard a familiar voice chime in and greet the two. The red hair and green robes gave Jessica away without even really trying. He recalled the quick dance they had during one of the events last year and hoped the girl had enjoyed herself. With a smile still on his face the white haired Slytherin answered in kind with Hildy.

"Always a pleasure lady Sassareth, and my summer was truly eventful I will say that. I trust yours was enjoyable and hopefully somewhat eventful as well."

Ah and the second question Ronyo was most ready for was sure enough to follow suit. If anything it could be said that Ronyo's two wands defied almost all normal and reasonable understanding of Wandlore. However Wandlore itself being what it was and most wand makers understanding what they did, often spoke of the enormous amount of information not known about wands. That being known still Ronyo had come to understand, feel, and learn that his wands worked the same way just in the context of being connected themselves and to their wielder.

"As I have come to believe I may be the first on record to have two wands, but again I say on record. It is an extremely difficult matter that has many a times seemed almost insurmountable in scale and difficulty. My first two years I did just about everything but cast the correct spell, I would fire one wand while I wished to cast from the other, or fire a spell at half strength from both wands and accomplish almost nothing in effect. My studies, and through some fantastic work by my Ravenclaw friend Phi, and my training has lead me to understand that a large part of the two wands comes with the animals who bestowed their essences to them. Both animal still live and together they are a guardian pair who watch over a forest, one at night the other by day," Ronyo smiled as Hildy pulled out her wand which if appearances were anything to judge by was a truly magnificent wand, "The bond shared between my wands and myself now is much larger, a fact that seems to be the most crucial of all. Wands form bonds with their wielders, like you would with a friend but its closer than that more like family really. I would be willing to bet if you asked any of the older teachers about their wands they would tell you the attachment they have with it and the bond as well," Ronyo chuckled a bit as he realized how much he had just rambled off and gave his two magical friends a quick spin and stowed them away, "Apologies if I rambled on their for a bit. IN having my two wands I have had to take a crash course in Wandlore and wand making through my own studies to try and better understand the idea myself. In short I would say it has truly been the most difficult thing I have ever done, and I am still in the process of doing it. It may very well be that I will never fully master or understand the entire idea, but I will do my best to try."

LOCATION: The Slytherin Table with his House.

THOUGHTS: Tch, perfect for Slytherin.

MOOD: Snobbish and Prideful.

The prideful, and now official Slytherin sneered as he got up from the stool. The hat had barely touched his head before practically screaming Slytherin. He was honestly hoping for that reaction, he wreaked of the foul house. With his pride restored and backed up, the new Slytherin walked down the steps and took a seat at the stool. Not really caring about the speech that would be told before the feast. Hell even when the feast started he wouldn't care. He'd just eat something and then wait patently for the Prefects to guide the incoming first years to their homeroom and just mind his own business for tonight.

What makes you happy?

I wonder... what makes you happy...

Does it make others happy, too?

Eretria was watching as the Sorting continued. One girl, who had sat next to her, was being quiet. Juniper, it seemed, had been sorted into Slytherin as well, as had the loud obnoxious boy at the docks, and the boy who had bumped into her. Jennifer had been sorted into Gryffindor, which had been a bit of a disappointment, as the girl had been interesting to talk to, and Joseph had been sorted into Ravenclaw. She nearly sneeered as the extremely rude girl was sorted into Slytherin. "Please tell me that everyone knows how to act properly at this house."

Eretria looked over to the girl who had sat next to her. "The other first years. This is a very proud house, and has quite a history of its own." She gestured down to the boy she had seen earlier arguing. "That one made quite a scene at the docks arguing with another boy. It's quite unseemly for anyone to do that, as that is more for lower classes." She didnt include the fact that she herself had argued with someone right before getting onto the train, but that man had deserved to be brought down several pegs. She still hadn't seen Shin yet, but she figured that had more to do with him being a sixth year. "That girl," she stated, pointing down the table to the girl that had bumped her in her impatience, "she was too impatient with trying to hurry that she bumped into several people in her haste. The only one that seemed to have any manners so far besides you is the boy down there," she pointed down to the boy who had bumped her. "He at least had the courtesy to apologize afterward."

THOUGHTS: Meh, she's right.

MOOD: Prideful.

Matthew smiled and rose an eyebrow at Amanda, she was right and he was proud enough to admit it. So with his next words he dropped his snobbish attitude long enough to tell her, "You're right and how rude it was for my to barge into the conversation of you two. I apologize to both of you." He said nodding to both of them in turn.
