Eniklas enters the grove and walks deep into it, deep in thought. He lets all the smells become background, aware of very little except where he is relative to the entrance. His strides are also very small, how strange for someone who has bigger strides than any other trainee.

As the sun plays across the tops of the trees, the shadows roll slowly over the ground. The slight breeze making the leaves and branches sway gently. Off in the distance of the grove there seems to be a gentle music that plays along with nature, seeming to accent and capture the mood...

Eniklas drifts toward the music, deep in thought. He is within sight of Kile, though he is not aware of him.

Kile plays with his eyes closed, and so the music continues even when Nik comes within view.

Eniklas continues to walk. Suddenly, he shakes his head, and looks down at Kile. He sits a few feet away from him, close by, facing him. His back is against a slim pine.

Kile sits in the arms of a tree, two giant roots cradling him. He rocks slightly as he focuses on the music that pours out.

Eniklas sits cross-legged, facing Kile. He listens to the music in enjoyment, but suddenly and quietly brings a hand to his nose. He can't help it. He sneezes.

The music fades as Kile looks around. He spots Nik and nods to him. "Hello."

Eniklas nods, "Hello Kile. You play very well. I'm sorry I interrupted you. He shifts suddenly, and says, "Owowowow." A hand moves to his lap, but he pulls it away.

Kile blinks. "What's wrong?"

Eniklas blushes, "I stabbed myself with the dull metal blade when Johan Gaidin was giving me a lesson. I didn't want to get it Healed, I was too embarrassed.

Kile chuckles. "I could see that, I wouldn't want to have that examined either..."

Eniklas sighs and looks troubled.

Kile sits beneath a tree speaking quietly with Eniklas, something about being Healed...

Eniklas says, "I'm worried about Daegan. And what danger he may be to others."

Calandra rambles into the Grove quietly, seemingly lost in her own thoughts. Light only knows what she's plotting now.

Kile nods. "I saw the way he was acting as well... What do you think it is?"

Eniklas answers reluctantly, "I think he's crazy. I could tell it from the way he smelled. And Kile, Shamus Gaidin gave me a punishment, to answer every person of the Tower's question truthfully, and to volunteer additional truthful information on the subject."

Kile blinks. "By the way he smelled? What do you mean?"

Eniklas sighs, "You know my eyes are different, right? I'm a wolfbrother. I can talk to wolves, and see and hear as good as they do. I can also smell very well, and smell peoples emotions. It's not channeling, and it's not the Dark One."

Calandra smirks slightly hearing Nik and Kile, then spotting them. She heads towards them, "Good day boys."

Kile shakes his head. "No no, I know. I know you're a wolfbrother I mean. I just didn't know you could smell better... I thought it was just you could talk to wolves..." He turns, standing and bowing to Calandra. "Good day Calandra Sedai."

Calandra chuckles at Kile, "Actually, Wolfbrothers can not only smell better, they can see better at night and hear better than the average person." She adds.

Eniklas grimaces slightly as he stands and bows to Calandra. "Calandra Sedai, I want to apologize for being angry and muttering about you. I will not be angry anymore, and I'm grateful you only tied a dream ward on me."

Kile looks over at Nik, and chuckles. "So you can smell and see better than the rest of us, and you still manage to cook horribly?"

Calandra shakes her head, "My, that is some punishment." as Kile speaks, she literally breaks out laughing, "And Nik, the weave is for your own good. Are you hurt?"

Eniklas nods, and blushes, "I- I er- um- Calandra Sedai I-" He takes a deep breath. "I stabbed myself in the groin with the dull blade when I was having a sword lesson." His voice gets higher several times during the sentence.

Calandra tries not to laughs as she nods, "Well then, I suggest you get comfortable and let me do a delve and heal it."

Calandra winks, "What were you practicing, Sheathing the Sword?"

Eniklas answers, "Folding the Fan." He sits, grimacing.

Kile shakes his head, laughing at the whole thing.

Eniklas asks, "You don't have to.. ummm. look..."

Calandra delves and then heals, "There you go. Nothing damaged, just some bad bruising, but it's better now." my, that didn't take her long.

Calandra raises a brow, "I can 'see' with the delve."

Eniklas nods, "Okay. How much do you know about Wolfbrothers? Does everyone know?" He looks uncomfortable again, but in a different way.

Calandra shakes her head, "Not everyone knows as much as I do. And I know because of extensive study ever since I was a Novice, actually... I'm related to a Wolfbrother."

Kile raises a brow and looks at Cala. "Really? So are you partially a wolf... sister?"

Calandra laughs, "No, the wolfbrother is my cousin."

Eniklas nods. He looks deep in thought, and a worried look on his face.

Kile nods. "Does it run in families?"

Calandra shrugs, "I don't believe so." She chuckles, "I think it's just random. From what I've seen."

Kile hmmms, and nods, starting to sit back down. "Would you care to join us for a while Sedai?"

Calandra shrugs, "Why not, Might as well seeing as I'm here."

Eniklas mumbles to himself, unaware he does so. He mutters to himself, "... overreact?... And giddy... There... something... with his mind.... it... this."

Kile looks over at Nik. "What was that?"

Calandra raises a brow at Nik, "Ehem, would you please say that so that we can all hear it?"

Eniklas sighs, "I was muttering about Daegan. I was concerned about his sanity. Do I have to repeat what I said?"

(Calandra said something about being the Tower's expert on insanity.)

Eniklas says, "I said: Did I overreact? He smelled delirious. And giddy and elated at times. There is something wrong with his mind. But what? Can it be Healed. Owen Gaidin will handle this."

Calandra nods, "I shall have to approach Owen Gaidin on the subject, You said the boy's name was Daegan?"

Kile nods. "He did seem off today to me as well. Though last night he denied it whole heartedly."

Ensygn slips into Grove, walking through the shadows, looking about.

Eniklas says, "When he was sparring with Catren, and winning, he had an insane gleam in his eye. He smelled elated and delirious. When he was being yelled at by Shamus he smelled extremely giddy. When Johan called him over, he was amused. He smelled delirious when he impaled the pell, and extremely happy, roo."

Kile nods. "He seemed so... normal when he first arrived."

Calandra nods quietly, "Sounds like he needs an examination."

Ensygn moves closer to the trio, making sure to stay downwind of Eniklas.

Calandra seems to sense Ensygn, "Another trainee?"

Eniklas sighs, "Sometimes I wish I wasn't a Wolfbrother. It's hard to be different, and to know things from smell, I-" He cuts off "Who?" He asks anxiously.

Kile looks around. "What?"

Ensygn stands stock still... well, he's been seen, he quickly walks out of the shadows, assuming his vacant look stance.

Calandra points to Ensygn, "Him."

Eniklas anxiously asks Ensygn, "How much did you hear?"

Ensygn licks his lips, "Um... something about a um... pell?"

Eniklas sighs uncomfortably. "You heard about my being a Wolfbrother, didn't you. It's not channeling, and it's not the One Power."

Ensygn blinks at Eniklas, "Wolfbrother? Um... ahh..."

Calandra chuckles at Nik.

Kile smiles and waits to see how this plays out...

Eniklas sighs, "Just listen. I don't want you thinking I'm a male channeler or touched by the Dark One. I can talk to wolves, and I can see, hear, and smell as good as they do. I can also smell emotions. There. Now don't mention this to anyone. Enough people know already."

Calandra just shakes her head, "Please, Join us. He's not dangerous, just rather odd." She says about Nik.

Eniklas grumbles, looking a angry, as well as hurt. "Easy enough for you to judge me! You're perfectly normal, just like everyone else. You don't get judged by anyone who sees you!

Ensygn licks his lips, "Um... ah.. bye." with that he turns and bolts.

Calandra shakes her head, "Nik, dear, NO one is perfectly normal."

Kile looks over at Nik. "Who's perfectly normal?"

Eniklas says, "You both are. Calandra Sedai can channel, but at least people know what channeling is, to an extent. I'm either connotated to the Shadow or as a male channeler, and I'm not."

Kile shakes his head and chuckles.

Calandra shakes her head, "Not everyone thinks that, Nik. And what about Rath'al? He's a dreamwalker, is he normal? Everyone has their special talent. Mine is Healing. Your's is communication with wolves and I'm sure Kile has one."

Kile shrugs. "I can play the flute.. but I'm also from a country that doesn't exist Nik."

Calandra nods, "There's that."

Eniklas nods, "But you are /normal/. Would people think that you are a darkfriend, or a channeler, from the way you look?"

Kile shakes his head. "No Nik. But remember Darkfriends are not those you expect. So I never had a fear you were, despite your eyes."

Calandra shakes her head, "Don't be so paranoid, Nik. You don't look like a darkfriend. You just have unique eyes. Now if your eyes were red, /then/ I'd be worried. But I need to get back."

Calandra stands to leave.

Kile stands and bows. "Good day Sedai."

Calandra nods, "Good day."

Eniklas stands and bows, "Goodbye Calandra Sedai."

Kile hmms. "We should ask Shamus Gaidin to finish our tracking lesson some time."

Eniklas nods, Yes, we should."

Kile hmms. "It's really not fair though... you'd be able to track me with your nose."

Eniklas nods, "But I need to learn to utilize that while tracking, too. And life isn't fair"

Kile nods. "I know. It's okay Nik. We should head back to the tower."

Eniklas nods, "I know. Let's go."
