*Brad was most definitely not jumping from rock to rock to keep up. He definitely could have- even his meager agility could manage that. But he could manage something else even better. Every step he took, a surge of ice brought out a platform a meter across, turning the water below into an easy path to traverse.*

"Show off." *He muttered, hiding a smile as they approached, listening to Sapphire and Cid gab and gab.* "If he's got tons of books, I wonder if he's got a copy of the original Academy of Blades Volume 3. It's totally hard ta find now since tha reboot became the "Definitive edition."" *Brad added with the saltiest air-quotes imaginable.*

*He walked right past Sapphire and Icidro, reaching for the handle.* "If he's a total freakazoid, we should enter like freakazoids, right?" *Brad added, fingers tightening around the knob.*

Sapphire gave out a chuckle as the other two had their own ways to get over it. "So much for taking the intended way. Last time the door was locked but I'm pretty sure it's open since Furo and I became his student."

She pointed her finger at Brad like she would do with a child who said something they shouldn't have. "Bradamante he's not a freakazoid just different from the rest of us. Now I know who I need to keep an eye on in terms of manners" 

Letting out another quick chuckle she motioned for Brad to go ahead and open the door.

"Hey! Don't just barge in!"

Furo floated down behind the group marking his arrival. Alongside him he set down a steel wagon that he placed a blanket in side of. He dragged it behind himself as he made his way to the group.

"This isn't our home and we should not just force our way in." Furo had not heard the conversation, but Brad's hand on the knob told him enough. The keys that two of them played with seemed to have stripped them of their sense about privacy and security.

Being able to just open other people's stuff must have that affect on people. It made him glad that he arrived when he did.

"Here this is for you. Something to place the dogs in as we find them." Furo presented the handle of the wagon to Sapphire. "Just knock on the door. I don't believe Merlin would appreciate a stranger opening his place."

*A tall old man in blue robes walks out of the side of the building, through some curtains.* "Now, what's all this racket?"

*He walks around the building and sees the Storm Riders at his front door.* "Oh, welcome! Furo, and Sapphire, just the young mages I wanted to see. Come in, come in!" *He walks back around the side of the building and through the curtains. A moment later, a clicking noise is heard from the door. Presumably, it unlocked.*
