Zasz pulled away, terrified at the physical contact....his hands go up in defence, his eyes go wide, then turn from green to red...
"Dont touch me..." he said quickly...he starts to shake all over and breath heavily....
"dont....touch.....me" he looks at her, half glaring, have filled with fear...he is scared of being touched, people scare him, he doesnt know about people, he cant decipher people, so they scare him...he tries to avoid physical contact, his years on the battle field has made it so he thinks always that people are the enemy and they are all out to hurt you....

"Okay, okay! Calm down! I'm not going to hurt you." Ananda scooted back from Zasz. "I'm sorry," she said softly. "It's just, for a minute there you reminded me of...well, someone I knew once. I guess I wasn't thinking. Sorry," she said again. You're babbling again. Cut it out! She was yelling at herself inside her head, but she was determined not to show it. Looking up at him, she noticed the color of his eyes, and moved back a little further. Her mouth made a little 'o' in surprise. "Um... is something ... that is ... you ... your eyes ..." She trailed off.

Zasz still shaking slightly, closed his eyes, then opened them, they returned to the normal green color....
"i'm sorry, i dont like being touched...and my eyes, i am a half demon, i have three different bodies that i can change into, and depending on my eyes, is what form i was in....my eyes i were red i feel, which means you saw me in my demon form....or close to it...i am sorry for startling you...but just be glad my eyes were not yellow....that is my pure form, very dangerous to get into...i am sorry for my reaction, you have nothing to be sorry about, you had no idea i would react the way i would..." he turns away from her, facing the fighting ring again and bows his head...his black hair falling into his face.

Calming down a little, Ananda frowned at him. "Well, if I don't have anything to be sorry for, then neither do you," she told him softly. "You can't help being who you are. Nobody can." She smiled, relaxing again. Realizing that her hands had unconsciously gone to her knives when she got scared, she let them go, embarassed. She shook her head. Must be I finally have the 'fighting instincts' Dad always said I needed...just when I was thinking I would never need them, she thought, upset. Great. Just great. Well, at least this way I'll be ready...

Zasz smiled at her softly...he watched her hands drift away from her daggers...
"thank you...i am suprised you did not draw them, most do, most try to attack in fear that i will attack first, but i dont, i am more scared of you than you are of me i am sure.."
he stands up and stretchs his legs slightly and sits back down and looks at her...
"so...your teleport skill, can you only teleport to places you see, or can you go anywhere you wish to go..." he asks softly and subtly

Embarassed, Ananda muttered, "It was just instinct." Thinking she pursed her lips. "Um...well, I guess it depends. If I know the place I'm going to really well, I don't have to be able to see it. And...well, when I'm scared, I guess I get almost a boost of power. That's how I got here, even though I'd never been here before in my life. And, I guess it gets easier to go places when I've been there a few times." She looked at him sharply, frowning a little. "Why? Why do you care? About what I can do, I mean," she asked him.

Zasz smiled at her..
"i am curious, i like to know about peoples abilities, just a little thing i like to know, perhaps its because someday i might have to fight you and knowing what you can do will help me in the fight....or perhaps i just like learning about people, though i hate them they facinate me more than anything." he gently pulls off his black trenchcoat and lays it down next to him....he cracks his neck and bends back, cracking his back...

"D'you know," said Ananda with a wry smile, half-upset, "I wish you'd remember that you're talking to a 'people' before you say things like that. You're lucky I'm not easily offended. But you're making me feel a little like a museum exhibit, or...or an animal in the zoo. It's a little wierd." She laughed a little, and winced at the cracking sounds coming from his neck. "But I don't think you have to worry about me fighting you...at least, not until I'm much better than I am now." She threw her hands up in the air, in mock surrender, smiling.

Zasz laughs slightly...
"i am sorry, i am old and forgetful, i dont mind anymore, you are one of the best people i have ever met...other than jeromey...and jared....though i dont know what ever happened to them...but oh well, best not to dwell on the past...and it was the long past so i highly suspect they are dead of age by now...i am truly sorry, i do not mean to offend, espessially you, if i truly hated you, i would come out and tell you, you can trust me on that, with my age i grow more bitter, and i am not afraid of what people think of me, i just speak my mind and if they dont like it, they either dont like me or they just accept it.."

"I think," said Ananda with a grin, "that there might have been a compliment in there somewhere. So thank you." She laughed, and pushed her hair back from her face, combing through it with her fingers. Then, she looked back at him, and said, "Um. You keep talking about being old. You...don't look it. How old are you, anyways?" She groaned. "If you don't mind me asking, that is." She gave herself a mental shake, asking herself could you be any more of an idiot?

Zasz looked at her and his eyes got narrow...
"i dont know anymore....its been so long" he thinks about it...
"i dont even remember the day i was born anymore...its been so long..."
he looks up...trying to remember the last day of his human life....it was about 140 years go...
"i say i am about 160, somewhere around there" he laughs...
"see, i am pretty old compared to you, though i may look young, i look as i was the day i lost my humanity."

"Oh...oh...umm...oh," Ananda said intelligently, trying to adjust her thinking to allow for the fact that she was talking to someone who, according to everything she knew, ought to be long dead. "Erm..." She laughed in spite of herself. "Well, I really can't think of anything to say to that," she admitted, still laughing a little. "What do you say to someone when the world as you know it's been stood on its ear?" She shook her head in wonder. A hundred and sixty? Now she understood his comment about being a good fighter for her age.

"ah, you dont need to say anything to that, i am used to being called old, or my age mistaken, i dont mind, my body is young, its my spirit thats old and my mind...but oh well...i bet its great being young, having a timeline, knowing that no matter what you do that there is an end out there, not an eternity of servitude, i am a slave, a very humble and loyal slave, a willing slave, i completly gave myself to my master...." Zasz looks up and just smiles, nodding....he reaches up, as if trying to grab something...then he looks back at Ananda...
"someday, you will get to meet my master...i just hope that i can.."
