Jinn laughs at Calan's mention of his rules "So first of all, I made most of those up as the days worn on. I find my best teaching are in the spur of the moment, that way they are vital to what is happening right then and there. Or... I have no idea what I am doing and I am making it all up as I go along. But fear not my student, I shall make up another one hundred and five to fill a new book for you, I can see how the loss of my rules pains you so" Jinn waves Calan off. "Nothing new to research yet, but I will let you know if anything comes my way, now go get your book or a new scarf or whatever it was that you need to do."
Jinn turns to address Elli. "Meetings mostly, very boring affairs. That or it is research into whatever problem is assailing us at the time. Not really my kind of party but it is what is expected of one of my ranking. It usually involves a table and a group of short lived races arguing over stupid things"
Jinn sits on the steps leading up to the Sanctum building and pulls out a pipe. Wish a snap of his fingers the pipe is lit, and he puffs on it gently while eyeing up the new recruit.
"From what I hear you are interested in joining the Arcane Sanctum." Jinn pauses and strokes his goatee "You and your friends came at an interesting time, and you never once backed down or showed any fear in the face of most certain danger. I was told how you held your own in the shield wall against the orc encampment, and anyone new to town who ventures into the Dark Reaches to face a mechanical dragon is either very brave or very stupid." Jinn chuckles. "But I am pretty sure it was mainly bravery."
He lets out a thoughtful sigh and continues to smoke his pipe. "A scholar who carries a sword shield is strange, but I was a scholar once, and I can appreciate the safety a strong weapon gives you. The path of the Spellsword may be better suited for you, but only time... *Jinn makes a face like he finds his use of that word funny* will tell. But enough of my rambling! I have to say one thing. I am glad that you wish to join us at The Arcane Sanctum, and will welcome you with open arms. You showed my during the fight with Avantador the most important thing that anyone can ever do, and that is listen to the order to retreat. I myself have a hard time following or giving that order, but the ability to remove ones desires to be a hero, and know when it is time to pack up and go is one of the most important things on the battlefield. Following that order will allow you to live on, learn more, and come back and fight your enemies with renewed vigor and vision."
Jinn knocks his pipe out, stashing it in his bag, and climbs to his feet. He stretches his hand out of Elli. "Unofficially I can greet you, and should you have any quesions or teaching needs please seek me out." He points off to the small house with the purple banners hanging on each side of the door. "That is my abode, you can usually find me, Calan, Ruki, or Mal there. All memebers of the Sanctum, all willing to help!"
