Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Sophia Mei Belinski...and Rezzo." he said, sounding a little more at ease. He nodded to Sophia's offer, and followed behind the two, listening to their conversation. He had never really listened to anyone's conversation before, except during brief trips into towns or cities to raid and steal from. There were so many things about these two that he would have liked to ask, such as what those rings in the flesh were, or if they served any purpose. What was an "Aziza" anyways? Were they some sort of fiery spell casters? It would have certainly fit Rezzo's appearance. And what did Sophia mean by poison she used? What the hell was a Scorpio? And why did they look about the same age as him, yet were many years older? What were those pills anyways? The questions circling inside his head seemed to never cease as he silently followed behind the duo. Anton wondered what would have happened if he stayed in the crowd. He finally decided he just might have had an overload; if this was 'normal' then it was certainly not like living with Dirk and the MKIIs. The metal frying pan on the side of his pack clanked against the wall once or twice as he walked, and shook him out of his thoughts. Maybe he would ask something after all. "What are those pills?"

"I have traveled for a very long distance on foot to get here. Having a pan helps to cook the things I catch or find. And I can hit things with it." he answered without hesitation. "And what's a Scorpio? And why are you all older than me and look younger? And what did Sophia mean by poison she used? And, and..." Just as suddenly as the flow of questions came, they stopped as Anton reached up and closed his mouth with his hand. The silence that came afterwords was a little unsettling, so he carefully spoke, limiting his speech, "You know, I have a spine problem too."

Malice shuffled onto the campus with a renewed sort of gusto. She gripped the naginata, covered in silk, against her body and examined her surroundings. Everything in her view, the campus grounds and buildings, excited her. The prospect of a new life, a new beginning, put wind in her sails. She grinned all the way up to the gate, with the hair falling into her eyes, and pushed it open. A crowd near the gate scurried away as the gate opened and she made her first step onto the campus. Malice scurried about in circles, unsure of where to go. She had no knowledge of school life. Malice noted several students milling about, but had no idea if she should ask them for directions. How would they react to her, a disheveled stranger? She was undeniably in need of a bath. The trek through the forest had worn her out mentally and physically. It was her first major journey through a forest of that size and caliber. She had no plans to return to it any time soon. She dusted some of the dust from her body and continued walking through across the lawn. Everything would be cured with a nice hot bath.

He took in what the two women said to him, and spoke with care to avoid spilling out everything he thought at once, "I'm not a hiker, but I guess I do that too. I was supposed to be the Ideal Knight, but I never quite lived up to his expectations. And I quit, kind-of." Anton's brows moved together in deep thought, trying to recall some details, before going on, "I don't know my own sign, but I was what you called 'born' in February. I believe I had turned five years a few months ago." He then shrugged his shoulders and gave a weak smile out of embarrassment. Here he was with these older women! Anton shied his eyes away for a moment, and caught a glimpse of another women with gray-blue skin walking across the lawn with some sort of pole-arm. A naginata. It seemed that women were the majority in schools. "You can count yourself lucky I think. At least your spine is covered up." Even though he had a thousand and one questions, Anton felt he could relax a little around these two, or until Sophia was half Demon. He went as stiff as a rod. Wasn't he supposed to kill those? But she seemed so nice in his opinion. And she did tell what she was as though it were nothing to hide. Was being a demon such as bad thing? Anton forced himself to relax a little; there was only one way to find out for sure. Wait and see. "I am from an area nearby Daglashar Castle, half the continent away. Of course, that castle has been abandoned since I cleared it out at master's, I mean, former master's orders. Then again, by now, Albion and the rest of her kin probably took it over. Not exactly normal you see. That's why I'm here."
