"Follow me," he stated, some books in his arms. Scholar lead her through the twisting hallways to the center of the tree and the largest room in it. The room span to what seemed to be the top, windows were spread out amongst the walls where there was room in it. The walls were covered with shelves of books, and not far from those shelves in arm's reach from them were branches that were not safe if you had bad balance. The center had tables and stands and chairs, most of them covered with items of some kind. Bottles, books, etc. were everywhere in the large room. Scholar lead her to one of the tables after setting his books down on another. He moved everything off of it before having Aria stand in a spot right by it where Scholar hardly had to turn to face her.<br/><br/>In one of the window alcoves sat Phoenix though his clothing had changed again. Now his boots seemed to be of the finest quality as they reached up to his knees, small heels on the bottom. His pants were blue and a fine white shirt was covered by a blue coat with a tail that reached his knees and front that reached his waist. The last part of his outfit was a medallion almost exactly like the one Scholar wore. He stared out the window that was notably very high compared to some others, his arms crossed over his chest, not even acknowledging the other two, his expression one of wanting to be ignored.<br/><br/>"Phoenix I need full feathers," Scholar told the red head. Phoenix simply moved his arm, and dropped three long red feathers that were the same shade as his hair, not even sparing the two a glance as he did so. Scholar sighed before running a little and jumping into the air. When he did this his body changed as strange energy surrounded it. He caught the feathers and landed back at his spot, setting them down on the table.<br/><br/>Scholar's form was not human anymore, now he had the body of a lion and the head and forelegs of an eagle with eagle wings protruding from his back. Anyone who knew magical creatures would know instantly that Scholar was a gryphon as he took off from the ground again, landing on one of the branches. He walked with perfect grace and balance, taking books from the shelves and balancing them on his back. He brought them back to the table, laying them out in a certain order before grabbing certain bottles, jars, bowls and other miscellaneous items. Finally when he seemed to have everything he turned his head a little and took out three of his own feathers setting them down.<br/><br/>"Now then shall we get started. I apologize for having to ask you this Aria, but I need full view of your back with no tensing. Which means I have to ask you to remove your shirt and stand perfectly straight. Phoenix shouldn't look, he's in a bad mood plus he doesn't like females that are non-human. As for me I have zero interest in you in that way. Your back is the only part that interests me. I hope that helps," he comforted, his form still his true form rather than the human form he was in before.
