Salle: Thursday Afternoon Before workshops

Tim looked around at the set up. Things to hit, and he'd set up some extra things as well. He wanted to test his ability with the sword in it's capacity as a wand as well, so he'd set up various disposable things to try to knock down, pull towards him, stuff like that.

River peeked inside the room. She had been looking for Tim, still not knowing if he was going to stay or not.

"That looks sharp," she commented when she saw him.

"Yeah," Tim said. "I try not to hold it by that end." He looked at one of the stacks of empty soda cans that he'd set up. Best to start light. He concentrated on what he wanted to do, and swung the sword in the direction of the cans, which were a good ten feet away. The stack fell as if someone had kicked it over.

River nodded. "That was good."

Tim smiled slightly. "Yeah, not bad for my first try." Why was he so intent all of a sudden to be able to do this? All summer he let his sword stay in the locker, and suddenly he was trying to learn to use it.

And he'd in no way pictured T'ing's stupid, narrowminded, Fae blind boyfriend, or the thing that had almost killed him and thus caused the death of his father when he tried, and succeeded in sending a trashcan full of cushions flying. It was supposed to his one of the practice dummies but instead went to the side, landing harmlessly five feet to the dummie's right.

"So you're leaving?" River said. It wasn't really a question.

Tim opened and closed his mouth a few times before finally answering. He hadn't realized he'd made the decision already.

truth be known, though, he'd never admit it, maybe even with himself, he'd made the decision the moment Yang had told him about the problem with T'ing's stupid, narrowminded Fae blind boyfriend.

No he'd made the decision the moment Yang had said that Tim owed it to his father, who'd sacrificed his life to save Tim's. Not to mention the hundreds of Fae who may still need his help.

If Yaroslav was any indication, the exodus wasn't done yet.

tim lowered the sword/wand and took a deep breath.

"Yeah." he said. "Yeah I guess I am."

She nodded. "You have to go, then. I'll miss you." She smiled. "When are you leaving?"

"I'll miss you too. And Berthold. I'm, not sure when the deadline for students not staying in the fall to leave is I'm leaving. I've got a lot of goodbyes to make."

Nodding again, River replied: "You'll need your practise then. But let me know before you leave." She looked sad, and turned to leave the room.

"I will." Tim said. He had a phone call to make. A couple of them actually. And he wasn't looking forward to it.
