Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mikaley's eye widened for a moment. Hurt? Mikaley? Why no, that was near impossible! No protectorate of the Angels would ever be harmed by any earthly body. So yes, she was fine. Mika closed her eyes and bowed her head slightly. "I appreciate your concern, but I am fine." She let her other arm fall. "You are abandoned? How unfortunate that any creature goes without the nurturing of a mother's love. Surely through divine grace you have managed to come this far." Mikaley placed her right hand over her heart silently in respect to her own 'mothers'. "But alas the angel I seek is not named Dante, but has been known to be seen with him. She's very illusive, and I need to find her quickly. It's very important." A brief look of worry creased her face but in an instant it was gone and Kaley looked just fine.

"I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your mother and the harsh life you have lived." Mikaley said a silent prayer in her head for Hakai's mother's soul. "But I'm unable to give you the name of the angel I'm looking for. Her name is forbidden to pass through my lips. Though... you speak of powers that you are unable to control? What abilities might they be, dear one?" Mikaley had a vast range of odd abilities and training in some she didn't even posess. Perhaps she could help Hakai with some of her training. It wouldn't be the first time the preiestess assisted in training a fledgling user.

"You making perfect sense, dear one. I've met other's like you who had the same problem. It will be very difficult for you to start training at such an advanced age, but it's better to start late then never. For you to have this power and be unable to control it is a terrible and dangerous thing. You could hurt others and yourself. perhaps you would like me to help you? I have some experience myself with changing, only I do not have multiple forms to choose from." Mikaley smiled sweetly, softly, like an angel. Everything about her screamed 'holy' and even her presence put even the most ill-tempered creature at ease. She was a child of Angels after all. She stepped up closer to Hakai and placed her hand on her shoulder gently and caressed her hand down the other woman's arm. "Will you accept my offer?

Mikaley was pleased to hear that the girl had accepted. It would be to her benefit for sure and Mikaley would have another friend within the walls of Ria. I'm glad I can be of service to you, and you needn't fear harming me during your training so put your mind at ease. We will work well together." Mikaley smiled again warmly and took a step back. "Is there a preferred time when you'd like to get started? perhaps you'd like to rest before we begin? Training will be most stressful for you."

Makaley nodded and began to pace in a circle around Hakai. She was tuning into her deeper senses, seeing the patterns of the other woman's energy and weighing its strength. She was... powerful to say the least but the aura seemed distorted, almost fractured in places. That's where they'd need to work. If Hakai could unify her energy streams she'd have no problem controling what monsters and creatures she became. It was mostly then going to be all mental strain; working day in and day out on self-restraint and percision thinking. Mikaley thought over what their work regimen would be and wondered if Hakai were really up for it. She'd have to put her life in the angeling's hands amd trust her completely. hot many mortals were capable of that.

"Top percent? Impressive, dear one, but smarts will do little to control an animal without much intelligence. Hm... Mid-day? That sounds fine, quite an optimum time in fact. However, I don't know this school very well, I've just newly arrived really, so would you know of a quiet place we could train? It must be cool and comfortable for you." Mikaley stopped circling the girl and paused in front of her to stare her dead in the eye. Perhaps the gaze spoke more about the situation than words alone. Peace and care. That's what the brunette's eyes held and nothing more. Mikaley genuinely cared about helping the other woman and would do all she could to help her through this trial. The look was also reassuring. Mikaley knew Hakai could do this, and would, with a little help.

"The arena? Where might it be located?" Mikaley folded her hands lightly in front of her, a polite gesture to show granted subservience for an amount of time. Until the training actually began Hakai would really be the woman's only source of guidance so Mika was sure to stay currently as agreeable as possible. An arena might be a good place for later, but depending on its past usage it could be a very bad choice. Ambient spirits and the residue of past fighting auras could severely throw off Mikaley's plans to help Hakai, but if it really was one of the only places then it would have to do, Hakai would just have to work a little harder. "And assuming it is vacant, would tomorrow be best to start?"

"You do not have class now or the like? perhaps you'd like to have a first small session now?" It really wasn't needed but maybe a first session would be good, but what Hakai might think of as a first lesson isn't what Mikaley planned. In fact, it was more a social outting than a session. Mikaley wanted to get to know a bit more about Hakai so she'd have a better idea of which methods would be best in harnessing her powers. "If not, perhaps you'd like to go grab a bite to eat? It's prime time for physical training so I doubt our choice of space would be free at present anyway." Mikaley smiled sweetly again to clarify there was no need to be worried or nervous around her. If Hakai had something to say she should say it and get it out. There was no use having secrets from a mentor.
