Time flies when you're having fun, no one knew that better than Ivar as he stood in front of the place he once called home. A wave of sadness overcame him as he took in the sights. The academy seemed to shine like no other building, and like most students he felt like he belonged to a collective. And now that was all gone, leaving Ivar to fend for himself. Luckily for Ivar, he was being temporarily posted in Eoana until further notice. He didn't like the fact he had little do to beyond training and resting. The Valor military training was pretty brutal, his hands and forearms were still bandaged from his last session and he wasn't allowed to use his raiment for a few days. Hs new life was very different from his days in the academy, he was still adjusting. He thought he would come back to feel more at ease.
He knew the new school year was starting soon, his friends would be enjoying themselves without him... Ivar hated that he had to graduate so soon, Eko would be without his guidance. He had not made contact with anyone since graduation, not that it was his fault. He did try to send a letter to Tala but the boy was MIA and Ivar was pretty much working non-stop. He hoped he would at least run into someone familiar but he remembered that people were still back home as the holidays were still going. "I wonder what kind of crazy people they will enroll this year?" he said to himself as he stood in the courtyards thinking about this upcoming school year.
Eko had barely made it through the hallways, avoiding eye contact like the plague. Now, he entered the courtyard through the large doors of the Academy's entrance. He was curious of all the things happening at Eoana, but he really didn't want to end up in harm's way. However, curiosity could end up getting the better of him...
As he sat down on a bench in the courtyard, hood up, he couldn't help but notice someone rather familiar. His eyes widened at the sight of the blond haired S-Class. What was he doing here? Though they had been the same year, Ivar had ranked S-Class and ended up graduating immediately...
Ivar hadn't made contact with Eko, so it could be assumed he had been working non stop since graduation.
The shy boy stands up, nearing Ivar before hesitantly asking, "Ivar?" He'd be screwed if he was mistaken.
The warm air washed itself over Ivar as he took in the scenery, he knew he would see it less and less and he got more involved with the army. "I wonder how I will change as a person compared to how I was as a student?" he thought to himself. Snapping him out of his train of thought, he heard his name spoken in a gentle yet familiar voice. The boy turned around to see Eko standing there with his hood up. "And here was me thinking that I had seen all of the beautiful sights of the academy yet here you are!" he spoke in a merry tone with a big smile on his face. Ivar probably looked a bit different now he was in military uniform however he still had his signature rapier attached to his side. "I'm glad you are here, I was hoping i'd see you here actually. I got worried you were caught up in the incident that happened at the school," he spoke in a more concerning tone while taking a step forward.
Eko looked the same as Ivar remembered him. He still seemed shy in demenior and his voice was still very soft. Ivar wondered how his raiment control was coming along and what he got up to during the holidays. He also felt a bit guilty now for not contacting Eko, now he knew Eko was here he would make sure he sent regular letters as often as he could.
The boy thought to be his friend was soon confirmed to be, Eko heard him say something to himself and recognized the voice immediately.
Ivar turned around, looking at Eko's nervous self. The shy boy jumped at the sudden movement, but it was well hidden so he seemed fine. Ivar was in a military uniform, so it was likely that was were he'd decided to work. The military was far too harsh and loud for Eko, and he respected Ivar for taking it upon himself to join.
His cheeks lit up at Ivar's first comment. He was never used to being complimented, he'd always received harsh words and disapproving looks. Eko listened to Ivar speak, explaining that he'd hoped to see him, which confused Eko, slightly. Someone like Ivar probably had many friends he'd rather see.
Continuing on, the boy said that he was afraid Eko had been caught up in the events at the Academy. Aside from the fact he'd been away, the shy boy would rather steer clear of everything happening. Besides, he'd heard about most of the events. He heard a lot. Even in the hallways today he'd heard that an expedition into the woods had resulted in finding a destroyed faerie village with a lone survivor. That information sent a wave of sadness through Eko, after all, fae were beautiful creatures. He'd encountered very few, but he knew he'd been blessed with being able to see them.
"I-I like t-to... stay a-a-away from th-that stuff." He stutters out, nervously fidgeting. The redness in his cheeks had mostly gone away.

Ivar smiled warmly, it had been making him anxious thinking about Eko getting caught up in all of that mess that went down. But now he felt even worse knowing that Tala might be involved and if he was hurt in any way. At Least Tala could look after himself, But Eko... Ivar felt like a big brother in a way, he worried for the boy's safety. It was why he trained with Eko in the first place. "That's understandable, I'm just glad your safe. Though I do worry that you still haven't taken control of your Raiment," he spoke with a lump in his throat as he knew the hell that Eko had to go through every second of the day. And it hurt him that he could not continue to help seeing as he had chosen to join the military. "But I know you will master it this year, maybe I will come to check up on you every now and again," he said as his smile returned.
"So, how did your summer go? I am sure your family were happy to see you back home," He asked to keep the conversation light hearted, well at least in his mind he thought he was. He and Eko were close but the boy never spoke about his family much, Ivar just knew them through the social events he used to attend. "I know they will be proud of you when you can control your powers, and you have been doing well in class" he continued to speak hoping that this small talk would produce some more information on the boy. Ivar knew there was a reason he acted the way he did, it was hard having to watch Eko be so timid and scared all of the time. Ivar knew he might not be able to fix Eko's issues but he at least wanted to understand the boy better.
Eko's cheeks warmed again at Ivar saying he was worried for him. Years of neglect left him rather vulnerable when complimented. Though the boy was technically A Class, he really didn't think he should be. He had little to no control over his Raiment, he could barely muffle anything. The academy had done little to nothing to help. His Raiment was unlike the other Enhancer ones, and he hoped this year the Enhancer professor would be able to help him, Myrddin or someone else.
"Eh? N-No! I'm-Im fine!" Eko responds to Ivar mentioning checking on him. "Well- I-It'd be nice to s-see you but-" He stutters off, still having trouble forming sentences.
When the topic changed to his family, his eyes widened, and he clenched his fists, looking like he was in pain. In response, he mutters, "Th-They... y-yes. He bites his tongue.
"I-I haven't- t-told-told you about them, have I? W-Well... my p-parents- they're... n-not nice? Wh-When... my b-brother died, th-they blamed... m-me. S-So... I-I... guess th-the most I-I'l-I'll get is... the sh-shock they h-had that- that I-I got in." He manages, tearing up a bit. He hadn't ever told anyone about this before.
"I-I should go!" He squeaks in a nervous panic, stumbling away from Ivar before running back into the building.
[Exit Eko from the Courtyard to end interaction]
He looks around, stumbling a bit, becoming overwhelmed physically and emotionally. If they found out he told Ivar...
Eko eventually made it to the safety of his dorm, where he would collapse promptly.

Eko seemed happy to see Ivar, the boys warm smile made Ivar's heart melt. Eko seemed to have something that made Ivar feel a deep kind of happiness, this was why he loved being a student here. But what he said seemed to of changed Eko's demenior as he started to stumble on his vords alot more frequent. Ivar could see the boy was becoming nervous and anxious "I shouldn't of said that..." he thought to himself. Ivar could feel alump forming in his throat as Eko explained more about his parents, Ivar could finaly see why Eko was so anxious. It seemed that every noble family had their dark secret and knew how to hide it well. "How could they treat their own son lke that!?" he thought to himself. His arm raised to try and comfort the boy but his effort was in vain as Eko made a quick exit leaving Ivar alone.
Ivar himself began to tear up, he regretted that and now he had upset Eko. Sadness turned to mild annoyance and mild annoyance turned to anger. He hated himself for being so insensitive and he was even more pissed off at those who called themselves Eko's parents. He could feel his hands becoming warmer and warmer as his emotions started to take over. Ivar instantly noticed this and he took a deep breath. "Keep it together..." he muttered to himself as he forced himself to become calm again. He turned away from the main academy building and strode off back towards his temporary home with tears running down his cheeks.
After that super lame meeting, Twitch decided to not dwell on what hapened and decided to start the day in a good mood. He and Riku were able to get in a large breakfast which was something they were not used to. After food they decided to go for a walk around the school campus. Twitch had Riku's ball and lobbed it infront of him for the big cloud to run after. Not many students had pets in this academy and Riku was gaining some attention. It had seemed that some students either giggled at the boy and his dog or they seemed to want to come and approach them but Twitch kept on walking, he honestly didn't know how normal kids interacted with each other and what to talk about. Were kids from the streets similar to kids raised in homes? Twitch didn't know. "Maybe I should start to try and make a friend or two," he mumbled to himself as the cloud bounded over to him.
The dog jumped in the air and tackled the boy to the ground making Twitch burst out in a fit of laughter. "No! I am allergic to dog slobber!" he wheezed as Riku furiously licked the boy's face. The two tumbled around for a while, Twitch trying desperately to get up but Riku wouldn't let him and continued to assault the boy with dog kisses. "Boy please get off, you will ruin my clothes you big idiot," he giggles before managing to roll away from the white ball of fluff.
((Enter the next day)) Being the bright day it is to see, Azura felt the peace of it all and would smile that he never felt at such a long time. With most of his friends being completely busy with things, Azura always found it good to usually do what Nanashi does and creates a whole new adventure every day, since he always does things weird and different. That was virtually how Azura wanted to be. Still, he would let those thoughts fade away, as he would sit back and watched the various people do their thing accordingly, as he would wonder about Kayl, Camilla, and Julia. Those three were his best friends, and he would love to hang out with them. It was somewhat too bad he couldn't. After a good while, Azura would take his guitar, and would play each note accordingly to see if t he tune and pitch were in perfect lining. Sounds great... Hmmm... Azura would then think to himself, as he would wonder what song to play. Back in the summer breaks, Azura would always play a new song every day for passerby's and some supporters. Alright... Let's play. Azura would say as he began strumming and playing the notes in to a well made song. He'd sing along to the beautiful melody and sounds of the strings that would create such a wonderful song.
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go So make the best of this test, and don't ask why It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life So take the photographs, and still-frames in your mind Hang them on a shelf in good health and good time Tattoo's of memories and dead skin on trial For what it's worth, it was worth all the while It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life

With a whole day off for Nora to do whatever she pleased, her first instinct was to spend it exploring the island and the city. As she walked into the courtyard, her eyes were immediately glued to the fountain and she quickly walked towards it to dip her hand in it. "It's kind of cold," she thought with a smile and she moved her hand back and forth in the water. "It feels so nice." Today was a beautiful day, but to Nora, it still felt a little too hot. She would've rather it be raining or have a nice cool breeze every now and then but she couldn't complain about how nice the weather has been since she got here.
As Nora took her hand out the water to brush it off on her dress, she looked at all the people passing through then noticed someone playing guitar and singing. The song sounded somewhat familiar, and she followed the sound until she found a boy with black hair who looked very focused on the song and not the people in the area. She sat down near him and when he finished playing she grinned. "Hey, you're really good! That was awesome!" She applauded with a soft chuckle as she looked at the boy with a beaming smile. "What's your name? I'm Nora."

After singing the song ...and playing the guitar wuth it, Azura had left off a sigh as he would open his eyes to see the people clap which made Azura feel nice. The dyibf was so great ...and he even heard it which made him smile. Those were the times he wished he coped share with his friends as he knew they would like the song more. Of chose, Azura really much of a social expert, or anything close to it, if anything. Thats why when a girl who seemed about the same age as Azura had come up, he would question himself, as he wouldn't know how to accept the compliment without seeming to that puf lack of confident, or just flat out weird. It was pretty common wirh Azura these days, especially his jackal expression of that who would never get a good night's sleep, before looking apathetic and seemed not not care about the day. In reality, our wasn't like that at all, more so the opposite.
Heheh, why thank you. I worked pretty hard on it. Azura would say as he would get a good look at her. She seemed really cute, and somewhat petite which Azura more or less blushed over. He never knew, but he wasn't that great around girls, besides with Julia. She seemed to be able to get along with him so naturally. It was then that she would introduce herself as Nora, who he remembered from yesterday when the beginner's class had that tag game going on. I'm Azura Hishura. It's nice to meet you. And what's your name? Azura would ask, as he mentally punched himself in the face at that moment. She already said her name, and Azura like the weirdo he is, went and asked again. Oh, umm... sorry... heheh. Azura said, slightly bowing his head in respect to her.

Nora opened her mouth to tell Azura her name again but when he corrected himself rather awkwardly she let out a little snort and covered her mouth to hide a laugh. He was a little awkward, but Nora reminded herself that not everybody is as social or outgoing as she is. "He seems pretty shy... maybe he doesn't talk to that many girls." Nora thought as she watched his reaction more closely and taking a few breaths to calm down.
"It's okay. It's nice to meet you too, Azura." Nora said once she stopped giggling and caught her breath. "I think I saw you in my combat class yesterday. Where'd you learn to play guitar by the way?" She asked as she sat back on her heels to brush the wrinkles out of the front of her dress. Azura seemed about the same age as Nora, though it was pretty hard to tell who was an upperclassman and who wasn't since Nora didn't know anyone here, and since everyone was from different kingdoms some were far more mature than others, like the people from Valor that she'd seen so far. But Azura seemed like he's from a smaller kingdom, at least that's what it looked like to Nora.

Likewise, Nora. Azura would say to her. She seemed to be pretty interested on Azura's guitar skills that he worked hard on. Pretty much on the side, he would say that he learned the guitar on the side from Roland as he would do normal fishing, and training. Well, I learned to play the guitar from my grandpa in an island just off the course of Trendel. We were just a small trading village on the island, so I would be around the seas all day. So my grandpa thought it would be a good idea to help me learn the guitar. Azura said. In reality, Azura learned to play the guitar because Roland would always use it to chase after young women that way, like the pervert he was. The man was notorious in pubs and taverns alike, due to his antics. Azura shuddered at the thought of it all. I'm actually trying to go for advanced combat class. I feel like I need to go that extra mile, if I ever want to protect my friends, you know? That's why I need to get stronger for their sake. Azura said, as the thought of his dead parents came to mind. He really wanted to make sure Julia, Kayl, and Camilla doesn't ever have to turn out that way. So if you don't mind me asking, where are you from? He asked, a bit curious about her.

Nora listened attentively to what Azura was saying, nodding to let him know that she was listening. "You grew up by the sea? So did I! I'm from a tiny village in Mistun so I grew up spending a lot of time swimming in the sea and going to markets to trade with my parents in Valor during the summers as a kid." Nora smiled as she gushed about living near the water. Just talking about her hometown made her happy; even if she hadn't been there in a few months, swimming in the cold sea was her favorite part of her childhood. When she was little, her older brother would tell her that she got her raiment because she spent so much time by the sea. Thinking back on it now, it sounded silly.
"That's a really noble reason to want to improve." Nora looked at him before leaning back and looking at the sky. "I'm not sure if I'd even be able to make it into the advanced combat class. Maybe in a year or two, but I feel like I'm not strong enough. But I'd like to be able to protect people someday. I'd like to be able to protect my brother and my family. By the way, do you have any siblings?" She asked as she tilted her head towards Azura while her bangs fell to the side and she quickly fixed them with her hand.

Guess we have a love of water in common. Azura would joke lightly as he would listen to her about selling in Valorian marketplace. In truth, it was the same with Azura but for Trendel instead. Usually, he'd do the jobs alone while Roland was off skirt chasing. The second time he'd just have to sell while Roland was drunk in place from a previous night. Those were strange times, but they were good memories none the less. Those memories were soon replaced from Nora speaking of how much she wants to improve to protect her friends and loved ones. The reason and cause was just so noble, that it virtually lit up the fire in Azura. Azura would then look down at the floor, as he would sit on the fountain. The memories of his parents on the execution block showed again. He remembered the evil and horrid chanting from the people as they would route for Azura's parents to die. Azura can also remember vaguely familiar the one who would scream to have cheered for her bloodshed. What was worse of all, was seeing the execution swing his axe, which made him remember the first time he activated his raiment. The last thing he heard until he turned into a Tadfaer was "Be good... Son" Right before it all happened. Azura let off a sigh, in which he would stroke his hair, which stayed at the same spot it was. Not really. It's just been me and my gramps. He taught me how to survive in the wilderness, and helped me fight. Azura would answer her, trying to get his mind off of his past. So, you ever been to the town here? It's very fun and I was thinking of going there. Wanna come with me? Azura asked, looking over to Nora, who looked cute the way she held her hair back to Azura. It soon made him blush when he wouldn't realize.
