The trouble with Fey Relations

I'm okay with jumping right to the church and seeing what happens.
The church doors are wide open and you see a couple kids inside with others heading to the building alond the 2 roads leading to and fromm th town center. A couple of children waive to Aizashi and stare curisly at Mina. None of the children curently present resemble the girl shown to Mina and the priest is not yet pressent. Looking at the children trudging leisurely down the tracks towards the church you estimate you have several minutes before classes should be starting.
With that Aizashi heads of into the church.
Give me any changes/additions to this basic plan along with a couple rolls to convince/encourage the children to talk with you and take the test as well as watching for any reactions or other key points. Tell me what you are rolling for and any traits/background that might give advantage.
Similarly he introduces them to the concept that their childhood brawls can lead them down the path of possibly becoming skillfully fighters in their own right.
Lastly he throws a few of his darts and some of the support pillars before having the idea of letting the children try as well under his guidance.

Mina seems to have similar success with her own "lesson". Several of the girls, and even a couple of boys, listen to her talk. Though reluctant at first Mina eventually convinces that a simple touch is all that is needed and heals one of the children.
We are all afraid... We are all afraid... She repeats this to herself like some sort of mantra. Finally, she opens her eyes and looks up at the priest, offering him the sweetest, most genuine smile she can muster. My powers are greater in this chapel because they are god-given. I can heal all hearts, even yours... She extends her hand toward him in invitation, open-palmed. It trembles only slightly. It's normal to be afraid of that which you don't understand, but you are safe with me...

He relaxes a little when Mina responds only to tense back up when she reaches her hand out to Malgrim.
It's not part of this system but I allow players to hold or ready an action to anticipate and react to changes. So if you want to protect the others roll an initiative, 2d6, and tell me how you will react if your feel a threat to yourself or the others
I will post the priests and children's next actions this afternoon
Well if Malgrim were to do anything, Aizashi would try to step between Malgrim and the intend target, either just deflecting what ever is coming or maybe even countering... But I don't think that is going to happen, haha

You should be afraid he snarls. he snarls at Mina's muttering
As she reached out to him he shies away Do not touch me. I need no healing form the likes of you fey-touched! My faith lets me heal all. But one such as you only uses your magics to trick and torment others. I understand all too well the depravity of the fey and those that follow their paths. As Malgrim shouts at Mina he backs away, herding the children away from you. Watching this you get the odd sense that the priest is both enraged at and afraid of Mina.
The commotion has drawn the attention of some of the villages and Aizashi notes the sound of some approaching the open church doors.
Your master teacher is a very smart man, and I'm sure he is very wise in his own way. He-- He is also very frightened -- I'm guessing because a fey might have harmed him in the past? -- and now, and now he thinks all fey are bad, which isn't true, she says in her thin little voice. She looks a little like she might hyperventilate, but she pushes on, standing and teetering up to the chalkboard. Hating someone solely because of their race or-- or for their traditions or practices... That's called p-prejudice. She lifts a white piece of chalk and with a shaky hand starts to draw a heart on the board with big wobbly lines. But divine love is not limited to one race or people, she goes on. It is accessible to us all.... And as- as Master Malgrim overcomes his fears and- and grows in wisdom, he will come to this understanding, as well. But he still has a long road ahead of him. May the gods bless him on that journey. The chalk snaps in half as she finishes drawing the heart. Mina stares at the end that's still in her hand, then sets it down quickly and awkwardly, turning back to the class and folding her hands in front of her.
Mina wavers on her feet once, and her eyes widen as he forehead breaks into a sweat. She starts for the exit, almost making it all the way to the door before her knees try to give out.
