Luke jumpes up " Ok i give in i want to learn some stuff like you do" Luke said not knowing the word.

( Sorry one i have writers block and two i srsly dont know the word.)

"Well, lesson one has been learned. Lesson two will be… soon, but later. It will happen when the sun has set and risen, but both must happen at the same time before I teach you your next lesson. Remember, the sun must ride and set at the same time before the lesson." she said, disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

Luke looked around for she has dissapeared. " Well this is great. I'm stuck in a random never ending hallway with no windows and no way out of here. How could this get any worse?!" Luke said aloud. " Come out and help me get out of here!" He shouted frowning and pushing hiself accross the floor.

Yvaine reappeared in her office. "So, how did initiation go?" a raven asked. "Shut the tsyinv up, Bjol." Yvaine muttered. "So, you didn't even get him past the combat phase, did'ja?" Bjol asked. "And don't swear, what would Mother say?" Bjol asked, swiftly turning into a muscular young man with blonde hair, almost white, and stormy grey eyes clouded over. Bjol was, evidently, blind. "Mother isn't here, so shut up. And I did get him past basic combat, he's on the riddle now. It was an easy one, it's like the "fill this bucket with no bottom up to the brim with water in this stream" test. Sun rise, sun set, both at the same time." she said, rubbing her temples with a forefinger and thumb. "Ah, that's an easy one. But humans don't think like the stars do. Are you sure you should leave him in Port?" Bjol asked, sitting on the desk. "Yes, I'm entirely sure. Anyways, why don't you just go back up to the sky? This is my exile, not yours. You have no reason to stay." Yvaine sighed. "I'm staying to help you pay penance. You need my help, and as your loyal, faithful, dependable older brother, I'm here to give it." he said.

Luke wondered for help falling asleep on a wall.
( I really have nothing to do so my thing is gonna be short.)

"Listen, I'm going to check up on your apprentice if you don't." Bjol said stubbornly. "You do that. I'm going to take a nap, it's late. Midday, can you bloody believe it! Honestly, humans, always out at late hours. So annoying." she said, closing her eyes. Bjol sighed, leaving Yvaine to take a rest. It was midday, but Bjol didn't really feel tired. He went to Port, locating Luke through the mist. Picking the young man up, he carried Luke to a proper bedroom and lay him down to sleep, tucking him into the folds of the soft sheets.

Luke woke up as he hit the comfortable and soft sheets and the warmth of Bjol felt so good. He startled awake and shivered. " Who are you? Do you guys have the AC on? Do you have a heater? Can you turn the heater on please?" He asked many questions before aclologing that he was the owner of this place or at least thought that.

( Give me a picture of what Bjol looks like human form and whatever his monster form is please!)

(He's tall, muscular, with blonde hair that's almost white down to his shoulders, normally pulled up in a ponytail. He's blind, but uses magic to see, so his eyes are grey and cloudy. Very pale skin tone, he almost looks angelic, and wears white robes that flutter around him as he walks, it's a very cool effect. And the raven thing was just kinda because he could, animal transformation is just fun to do, idk.)

"Rest now, you have much to prepare for. Life, in simplicity. I am Bjol, and we do have something of a hearing system, yes." he said, walking over to the fireplace and building a fire, lighting it. The room was filled with a pleasant warm glow, Bjol say down in a nearby armchair.

Luke looked at what he thought was a very cute boy. " Well i can't sleep i am not tired." Luke said lying. " Where that one girl ummm Yvaine was it? Where is she shes supposed to be teaching me right now or at least when the sun sets and rises at the same time or whatever she said." He repeated it twice to make sure he heard.
( I don't care what happens in this but this is gonna happen

"My sister is busy right now." he said, then began to laugh a little. "The riddle literally means any time at all, as the sun rises and sets at the same time all the time. It just depends on location, where you see it from. She thought that would take you days to figure out, and in all honesty, it probably would have. It's simply an astrological paradox, nothing more."

Luke looked at him confused " So she could sleep and get away from my stupity." Luke was starting to catch on now

"Stupidity is a strong term. I'd say that you certainly have much to learn, but you do have the skills to be a great and powerful warlock some day." Bjol said, standing up. He walked over to Luke, now sitting down by him on the bedspread, running a hand through the man's hair comfortingly.

Luke blushed hiding his face deep in the covers. " Exuse me what are you doing?!" Luke said liking it but knowing he was some other species. ( I do know what this is but my charecter dosen't) " Whats a warlock?" Luke asked.

"Oh, should I stop? I'm sorry." Bjol withdrew his hand. "It was a method of comfort, obviously ineffective. A warlock is a very powerful mage, skilled in the art of combat mostly, but can specialize in a range of fields." he said. Bjol always stressed his "R's", making his words sound like an avalanche, or falling rain on a rooftop.

Luke smiled " You don't have to stop. It- its just that i don't do good when guys touch me thats my only weakness really. I0 I find it difficult to even talk to them." Luke said trying to make him comfortable again " So if it helps then yes you may."

"Ah, I have much to learn about humans. You are all incredibly interesting." Bjol said.

" Eh what about?" Luke said

"Well, it has to be said that xenosociology* was never really my forte, but I do think that I'm getting the hang of your customs. I never understood parties though, why stand in a crowded room with food and drinks and loud music? What is so enjoyable about this activity?" he asked.

*means the study of other peoples and/or cultures.

Luke smiled " Well because you hang and talk with your friends/family. It's really fun. Maybe i'll take you to one sometime?" Luke asked still hiding the blush in the crackling fires light.

"Yvaine is really the only family I have left. Or at least, the only family worth mentioning. And I don't have much in the way of friends, I'm afraid. But maybe attending one of these social outings would be a learning experience. I don't know." he said.

( OMG SO SRRY IVE BEEN BUSY!!!)
Luke smiled, " Well she sounds decent. But yeah i would totally take you sometime. Well that is if I don't die from this. He said laughing.

"Oh, Yvaine was exaggerating, barely anyone has actually died. Most just left when the stress piled up to high for them to deal with." Bjol said casually.

Luke moved his fingers through his hair. " Well for someone that dosen't interact or even see humans much you sure no how to make them feel at home and how to talk to them."

"Mm. Well, we all have our talents, even if we don't know it." he sighed.
