As they entered the classroom, they found a lively atmosphere with students engrossed in various art projects.
Professor Hartman greeted them warmly, "Ah, Savill and Annabelle, welcome! We're in the midst of exploring the wonders of creativity. Feel free to find a seat and join in."
Savill scanned the room and noticed Amitiel fumbling with a sheet of paper and some origami instructions. He couldn't help but smirk, knowing that his skills might come in handy.
Savill, sat down at a nearby table, saw Amitiel's struggle with an amused grin. Annabelle, noticing the unfolding scene, couldn't help but share a knowing glance with Savill. The mischief was clear in her eyes as she leaned toward Savill.
"You know, Savill," she whispered, "Amitiel is having a bit of trouble with origami. Maybe you can lend her a hand. You're quite skilled at it, aren't you?"
Savill, genuinely surprised, furrowed his brow. "Origami? Really? I never mentioned that to you."
Annabelle chuckled softly, her words chosen with care, aware of the delicate balance she needed to maintain. "Oh, you must have! Perhaps it was during one of our nights at The ShadowSpell Tavern. You know, those times when memories tend to blur together."
Savill pondered for a moment, scratching his head. "I suppose it's possible. I do enjoy trying my hand at origami from time to time. But I must admit, I didn't think it was a noteworthy skill."
Annabelle laughed quietly to herself, knowing the necessity of discretion. "Well, I find it quite charming. A man of many talents, I see."
Savill grinned, deciding not to delve too deeply into the mystery. "Well, you know me—full of surprises."
Annabelle approached Amitiel, she offered a casual suggestion, "Hey, Amitiel, why not ask Savill for some guidance? I've heard he's a wizard with origami. You might even learn a thing or two."
Amitiel, swallowing her pride, decided to give it a shot. "Savill," she called, "mind giving me a hand here? I seem to be failing at the ancient art of paper folding."
Savill, with a confident smirk that mirrored the mischievous glint in his eye, joined Amitiel's table. "Let me show you the ropes," he said, his fingers dancing gracefully as he took the paper, expertly folding it into a beautiful crane. The classroom fell silent as Amitiel watched in awe, the origami masterpiece emerging under Savill's skilled hands like a conjured enchantment.
As Savill expertly navigated the folds, Amitiel observed with a mix of amusement and mock surprise. "Well, well, Savill," she remarked, her tone dripping with playful sarcasm, "who would've thought you'd be the origami maestro of the century? Clearly, I've been underestimating your artistic side."
Savill, undeterred by Amitiel's banter, flashed a wry smile that held a touch of mystery. "You know, I'm full of surprises. Origami, poetry, interpretive dance – the list goes on."
Amitiel pretended to gasp dramatically, her eyes widening with theatrical shock. "Interpretive dance, you say? Please, enlighten us with a spontaneous performance right here, right now."
Savill chuckled, continuing with the origami without missing a beat. "Maybe next time. I wouldn't want to steal the spotlight from you, dear friend."
Annabelle, observing the scene with a glint of amusement in her eyes, joined in the banter. "Savill, you're a man of many talents. Amitiel, I'm sure you'll find the perfect occasion to witness his interpretive dance debut."
Amitiel, still struggling with the delicate art of origami, sighed in frustration. "I don't get it. How is this human art class supposed to contribute to coexistence? Folding these paper contraptions won't make daemons, celestials, and humans get along any better."
Savill, always quick with a retort, teased, "Well, Amitiel, maybe if daemons and celestials learned the art of patience from humans, we'd have a more harmonious coexistence."
Amitiel shot him a mock glare. "Patience? Please, I've been around for centuries. I practically invented patience."
Annabelle, enjoying the playful teasing, chimed in, "Art has a way of transcending boundaries and fostering understanding. Plus, it's a fun way to spend time together."
Amitiel grumbled under her breath, "If you say so," but continued attempting the origami with a mix of determination and irritation. The concept of a human art class contributing to coexistence stayed a mystery to her, but she was willing to endure it for the sake of amity.
After finally managing to fold a somewhat recognizable shape with Savill's guidance, Amitiel offered a mock bow. "Thanks for the help, Savill. I'll consider sparing you from witnessing my atrocious origami attempts in the future."
Savill grinned. "Anytime, Amitiel. I'm here to rescue lost origami souls."
As "Creativity Unleashed" concluded, Amitiel gathered her artworks and headed towards the exit. Before leaving, she turned to Savill and Annabelle with a sly grin. "Well, it seems I survived the human art endeavors. Until the next thrilling artistic escapade, you two."
Savill and Annabelle exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting a silent understanding. "Perhaps we'll catch up later for drinks?" Savill suggested.
Amitiel waved her hand dismissively. "Sure, why not? I could use a good distraction from human art." With a wink, she strolled out of the classroom.
Once Amitiel left, Savill turned to Annabelle. "I was wondering if you could help me with something, Annabelle. I have a daemonology class next, and I thought your insights might be more... enchanting."
Annabelle raised an eyebrow, puzzled. "Why not ask Amitiel? She's a daemon after all."
Savill grinned, his eye lively. "Well, I thought I might prefer spending time with your enchanted beauty. Besides, you have a way of making everything more interesting."
Annabelle blushed, unable to suppress a smile. "Flattery will get you everywhere, Savill. Lead the way, and let's see what daemonology mysteries await us."
