By the time you were able to answer my question- whether or not you could reply- it would be mute. Any time spent answering my question would be enough time to do the reply. I realize you're busy- I'm busy too- but you were not skipped out of malice. I apologize if I offended you.

"I really must insist- we like to celebrate huntsman here, and we actually have something of a festival going on tonight." He sighed, his shoulders drooping as he looked to Carmine. "I can't stop you- and you're still completely free until then- but this mission will surely take multiple days. At least come in tonight, if only tonight."

Draíochta was more than a little intrigued by the bullhead as it came in. It was rare for a village this far out to actually get one- particularly one which bore the tell-tale signs of Beacon. The insignia on the side was a giveaway on its own, though the man beside him had brought it up as well while they were coming in. 'Students, huh?' he thought, watching it land in a clearing and the doors to open. 'I wonder what they're doing here.'

Probably nothing major, seeing as the man beside him never brought up a mission. Still, it would be nice to examine their weapons, if nothing else. He still hadn't replaced his, and a few ideas might spark a little motivation in him.

As they stepped off, Draíochta nodded to each of them, taking in their both how they looked and how they moved. There was a lot you could tell about someone from how they carried themselves, and- for the most part, anyway- they seemed relaxed.

For a mission, anyway. Still, it confirmed the idea that they were here for something light.

Curiously, they appeared to be different ages. It was kind of hard to tell, given that the academies brought in students seventeen to twenty-one, but the slight differences in the speed with which they walked also implied the nature of a stitched team- young if not new. Just as obvious, though a little less surprising given the relatively open-minded reputation of Vale, was that all four of them were faunus. A smile formed on his face when he noticed.

"Hello," Draíochta greeted, before surrendering the conversation easily enough to the mayor. He was the one that was supposed to be here, after all.

"Children-" he began, spreading his arms in a welcoming gesture. "I hope your flight was without issue. I am Daburu, the mayor of Lenshin, and I thank you for your help on behalf of our citizens." He looked between them, and- like Draíochta- he spared a glance to each of their weapons. "Accommodations for have been arranged near the belltower, though I'm afraid we only expected one or two. We'll have to arrange a meal for you in the hours to come. However, the Grimm are more active at night- and, if I'm seeing this right, none of you should have a problem hunting them then."

It has been added. Feel free to join when/however you'd like.

Right...

Everyone but Brock, welcome to Lenshin. I will set up the RP momentarily- I have some groceries to deal with.

Also, sorry Nathan, but you have been on here the longest and participated the most.

It's a Beowulf- just an ancient one that acts by itself.

It has been updated, along with fixing a few typos.

Lenshin was a plot idea I brought up as a way to not only bring him into Vale but also explain his meeting with the staff of Beacon.

The town of Lenshin has started worshiping a Grimm by the name of Venor. It's a rather large and intelligent Beowulf, but it lacks a pack, and so relies on instant takedowns and its ability to outpace its prey in order to win. In their pursuit to worship the beast, a monthly ritual has begun where they lure weak huntsman and huntresses in to battle Venor. Thus far, all have lost, but this fact hasn't been publicized in order to keep their ability to lure in more.

Draíochta only happens to be passing through, but a team of Beacon students was sent there to deal with 'a slightly above average Grimm population. No rush- seriously- but do send people when you can.' They end up getting caught in the ceremony, and have to do battle with the beast.

As for the headmistress thing- I will change it immediately.
