Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yes I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded
By all this pavement


Michael followed her. "You know, I never cared about coming to school the first day when I was a student. Now that I'm older and actually teach a class, it sorta pisses me off." He said complaining because he only had two students. That and he was making conversation. Why not kill two birds with one stone?

I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone


When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me


You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me


Araya chuckled. "Yeah it gets on my nerves a little but I can't get to mad at them. Most of the students are here because they don't have a choice." She looked at him. "A lot of students here are running from things, I can't even start to talk about. This is there haven, so if they don't come to class I understand. They need to relax." She looked at the ground. "But thats just what I think, I don't know about you."

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Yes I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded
By all this pavement


"I can understand escaping and negating responsibilities..." He surrendered. "Still, as an instructor am I really supposed to let them escape? These people still have to live in this world. And we're the ones who are supposed to teach them how to manage... I don't know. I guess I'll let it go."

"I understand what you are getting at. But some of these students are so afaird of what they are and their pasts they have to learn in a different way." She looked at the ground. "Then there are the students that can learn like regular students, I like to offer both ends in my classes." She opened the door to the teachers lounge. "Then you have the students that are running, from everything and anything."

"You care a lot about your students." It sounded more like an accusation than anything else. She seemed humbled and wise. A lot like a nurturing type. Or a mother. "Do you have any children?"

Araya ignored the tone in his voice and smiled. "No I don't have any children of my own. I want them but no one every stuck around long enough to have them with me." She frowned a little. "I view my students almost like children, sometimes they just need someone to be there for them in a mother like way."

"I see." He said looking away. He was trying not to analyze anything she said. Psychologists could be annoying. He was always to busy studying people and seeing which way they were going to move. Maybe that's why he didn't bother trying to help out. It was too interesting to watch them solve their own issues. "Lucky for them that people like you exist." He shrugged. "Someone who actually cares." He moved to get coffee before he realized what he said. "That sorta came out wrong."

Araya smiled. "I guess." She said softly, her ex often said she was to soft, that she would be eaten alive in the outside world. She looked at Micheal and studied him. "I'm sure you care, you just show it in a different way." She grabbed a mug for herself and poured herself a cup of coffee.

"Yes. In some warped way I probably do." He mumbled staring into his cup. He thought for a moment. "Anyway, I did meet two of my students. A songless siren and a stubborn mind reader. I'm choosing favorites, I like them. Especially the mind reader. He gets a kick out of playing apathetic. I look forward to reading his paper."

Araya smiled. "I'm sure his paper will be very intreasting along with the siren....who I did meet." She took a seat on a leather armchair. "What is the mind readers name, I may now him if he was a student last year?" She asked curiosly she knew a lot about her students from last year. Even those who didn't like art to much still came to her classes.

"Scormfire." He said also taking a seat. "Yes. Vincent Scormfire, the untouchable. Apparently my power of illusion will be no match for this kid. But my powers of observation will at least help me get into his head, if only just a fraction of what he could do to me. Though it is difficult to study someone who knows they're being studied."

Araya ran the name through her head. "He must be a new student this year." She said. "And it would be rather difficult to study him." She looked at Micheal. "Just out of curiosty what do you see in me?" She asked.

Michael was slightly in his own world so he gave little thought to the question or it's answer. Just repeated things he had already thought in the few minutes he had known her. "You seem like a really sad person. Taking care of others must keep you from having to face your own troubles as well as fill the void you have for your lack of offspring." He glanced at her. "And your mannerisms make you seem a bit insecure. You probably spend a lot of time avoiding the question 'What is it about me, that no one wants to start a family with me?' Or something along those lines."

Araya was silent for a moment as she took in his answer. He was blunt with in, but she liked that. She smiled at him, he got a lot of things down about her, true she was sad she didn't have kids of her own and then her ex left her right when she brought up the subject of kids. "You're quite good at your job." She finally said breaking the silence. "You noticed a lot of things people don't about me, I'm not as happy as I may seem and often do wonder why no one would want to start a family with me." She bit her lip. "I do not take any offence in what you said, I asked you a question and you gave me an answer, I respect you for that actually."

Michael nodded. "You know, most people spend half their lives not knowing who they are. And so they have even less knowledge on who others might be." He said amused by that fact. "They often have the wrong ideas of their worth or tend to ask themselves the wrong questions. That could lead to depression y'know."
