<strong>Neria Zathrieal<br/>Time; Evening, Day 1<br/>Location; Neria's Bedchambers and classroom<br/>Tagged; Yuri</strong><br/><br/>While the candles weren't lit, they were still giving off faint traces of their myriad of sweet smells into the air all the same.  Still, while it was relaxing she paid little mind to them, focusing intently on the matter at hand.  Yuri was a good teacher as he explained the fundamental basics of his craft, and Neria was quite the apt student, always had been as she absorbed everything like a sponge.  She did have a brief concern the man's rune circle wouldn't be easy to remove but she didn't want to be rude, so kept that little bit to herself for now.  She stayed out of his way, her hands folded neatly behind her back as she watched and listened, amazed by the transformation of so many otherwise useless items into a lovely couch that was bigger than she could have wished for.  She beamed, her face aglow in appreciation and wonderment at what he had shown her.  So, this was true alchemy in the works.  Amazing, to say the least, and Neria was quite eager to see more but she was happy with what she had as it were.  Now she just needed a few pillows and matching red coverings for the thing and it'd be perfect.  She could handle that on her own however.  "I cannot thank you enough for this amazing gift and the lesson in alchemy Yuri.  However, I noticed that the size of the couch is slightly bigger than the pile of materials you started out with seems to be out of proportion, if what you said is true.  How can that be if this is a formula in action, so to speak?  Wouldn't it be impossible?"
