She looked up at Eirick. "Why are humans so confusing? I try and try to apease them and make sense of their actions but in the end I always seem to be doing something wrong." She sighs "Im sick of saying Im sorry and I dont understand. I feel I understand a lot...but..." she shakes her head. "Understanding now what the workshop is, I suppose, to be about. I wasnt planning on leading anything. I prefer open dialog and I only just started to try and make friends. Maybe its because Im tired...or something. I dont know, maybe leaving would be good. Though I still foresee obstacles."

She waited for him to respond before heading in. She hated feeling this way.

"I can understand," he said sympathetically. "I really didn't know what this workshop was about, either." he shrugged. " I don't know...I just don't see the point sitting there when I have other things I want to be doing. Since it's not class, and we can leave at any time...I am leaving. I think maybe socializing so much with people other than our Council got on my nerves.

I hate to say it, I just don't care about what they are trying to teach right now. I thought maybe they had some insights that I could apply to our Council, and perhaps even later on when we would be talking to other supes, but...I just have other things on my mind." Eirik shrugged.

"Not in the best frame of mind for this, and I am getting rather sick and tired of being polite when I want to say what I am thinking. So, you will come with me then..? Great. Let's go and do this, so they can get on with their workshop." He motioned for them to start walking toward the tent.

"Besides, I made contact with a werewolf who is willing to talk with us, so the whole thing wasn't a bust. "

Magnus smiled at Gaia. Clearly he wasn't quite all there, was he? He was struggling to make sense of what was going on.

((ooc: lol FAIL >.< seriously o.0 thats all i've got))

Fable sniffed and a few frustration teardrops fell. "I think your right, I think its too much socialization for me right now. I dont want to resort to being...more aggressive because I feel trapped, frustrated, alienated. Just all that." She walked into the tent with Eirick and gathered her things. She didnt even want the beanbag anymore.

She stopped by Elizabeth and Kyros "We are going to be going back to the common room if you want to join us. I honestly dont foresee myself leading a group for a long time and Im feeling drained from all the socializing."

She then stopped by Ms. Kerr and waited till she was available. "I just wanted to thank you for guest speaking, I learned a lot of interesting things. Im feeling a bit drained at the moment and feel I need some time away so I dont distract from your workshop. Thank you for the nuts." She gave a small smile, her eyes weary from lack of sleep and stress.

She turned and went with whomever was leaving making her way back up to the castle.

Eirik walked with Fable back into the tent. He listened quietly while Fable informed the group, and walked over to Magnus.

"I am going to be leaving, but I do hope we can still chat in the future...? I will be certain to leave you suspicious notes at your table, " he said with a smile and a wink.

Eirik then walked up to Gaia. "Thank you for hosting this workshop, but Fable and I, and perhaps a couple of others, are going to be leaving. I wish you well, and please thank Miss Kerr for me as well."

He then walked over to Fable and walked outside with her, making his way back to the castle.

Magnus smiled and nodded. "Okay, Eirik," he said, "yeah, that'd be nice. Look forward to the questioning glances and people wondering what I'm up too."

[img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/2KveKVe.png[/img] Tired of sitting, Eros got up to stretch his legs some, but did not move away from where he had been. He just remained in the area, flexing his arms and kicking his legs a bit.

Magnus got up slowly and walked over to Gaia after she returned. He pulled her into a hug. Even if she wasn't showing it, he knew she was upset. "Anything I can do?" the boy whispered in her ear before letting her go.

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/FiJS3k1.png[/img] Poppy gave a comforting smile and mouthed, "Goodbye," at . The poor girl looked completely worn out. At least she was being taken care of.

"How did I miss this?" Poppy poured herself a glass of minty lemon water at the refreshment station and retreated back to her seat for the presentation.

"Its okay not to be you know?" he said very quietly. "But if you don't wanna talk thats okay. But, you know I'm 'ere if you want. Even if you wanna just talk about migratory coconuts."

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/1uNQkS8.png[/img]"Really I am okay." Gaia smiled at her friend "I was feeling self conscious but I know everyone will get something out of the workshop."

[img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/2KveKVe.png[/img] Eros didn't grab anything to eat or drink during the break. The Aussie just kept to himself, taking practice Beater's swings at the air with a nonexistent bat. He needed to get his blood circulating a bit if he was going to sit through more of the workshop. He picked up his pen and notepad once again as he sat down on the floor in front of the chair, stretching both legs out, with one crossed over the other. He looked through his two pages of scribbled notes.

Page 2 [font=mistral]Violence v Physical Tape? Rope? Hex? 'Keep Calm & Carry On'

Eros turned his notepad to a blank page and waited.

He gave her a sad smile. "I know a lot about that," he said, "I'm sure we could find several 'undred examples from me. But you shouldn't be, cos there's nothing to feel self conscious about." He clasped his hand on her shoulder. "I'm glad you're okay."

"Fanks," he said sticking out his tongue and then laughing and heading back to his seat. She looked in better spirits at least.

Mac settled quietly into her beanbag. She retrieved her parchment and quill. She was determined to learn something, but feared that the rest of the workshop would be far over her head. At the right side of her page, she carefully lettered 'You can accomplish nothing if you don't try.'

[img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/2KveKVe.png[/img] A bag of almonds hits Eros on the chest as the blue-haired seer walked by. He had made an effort to catch it, but since he hadn't expect it, he didn't react in time. His stoic expression had melted into one of pure confusion as he watched Gaia walking away. He picked up the bag of sugar coated nuts, stared at it for a while, and then just kind of set it closely to the side of his leg, not sure what else to do with it. The obvious choice was to open the bag and snack, but he was weary about eating random things thrown at him, especially by her. The boy didn't have time to interrogate her about it since the guest speaker was starting up again.

Instead, he made a note to himself and then focused back on Lydia Kerr.

When Merlin saw the bag thrown at Eros, he smiled and said. "Accio Bag of Almonds" Eros face of confusion when he sees the bag getting off his side was priceless so he followed the bag with his eyes to see who was the thief. Merlin grinned after grabbing them. "If you don't want them, i don't mind eating them." He was teasing him, after all Merlin loved mischief and Eros was someone he shouldn't tease much yet still he just wanted to see his reaction. "By the way, HI, I didn't see you before, was too busy looking at my insides."
