Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oleander's ears perked up as it seemed that Tsarine was willing to humor him with this. Sometimes it took some explaining to get Nouls to understand what he was asking, but this one was very eager to help him out. Taking a moment to give the place a glance around, it was certainly large enough for what he wanted to do. Taking a walk around the room, he moved closer to Tsarine.

"This place is a good one to try it in. There's enough space to not overly use our abilities." he said stopping in front of Tsarine. "I can start, I have been waiting to try for a small while now." He grinned excitedly. "I've been to the bog once, long time ago before I got my gift. I went hunting for bugs that lived there." He thought back for a moment to when he was running around with a makeshift net trying to catch them. He killed up more bog water then catching bugs.

"Fun times back then." He said reminiscing. Shaking his head after a moment before looking back to his fellow buck. "Another visit sounds like a jolly good time. Never know what you might find in that place, besides bad water and dead trees. Now lets try this out."

Closing his eyes for a moment, Oleander focused on his magic. A soft yellow glow came from his horn as the air around him started to cool. The temps dropped slowly until it was cool enough to faintly see his breath. Stopping before things got a little out of hoof, he looked at Tsarine.

"Alright, your turn, while I like the cool air, I am still slightly soggy from the rain earlier. We could use some heat." he said still grinning, though the effort of making the space cool showed on his face. Perhaps it had been a little too big of a room, but the area around him was cooler then it had been before, perhaps stretching out ever so slightly to invade Tsarine's space as well...

The air around them warmed and Oleander was feeling fresh as a daisy, in a way. Shaking himself before the younger buck eased off the magic use. Everything was warmer and fresher, almost made Oleander not want to leave the place until the rain stopped. Really he wouldn't have minded a night here, surrounded by interesting objects that the other had collected. Though the dust was bound to aggravate his sinuses eventually.

"That was wonderful." Oleander said as he grinned himself. "Tis as cozy as den on a balmy summer night. The more you practice I am sure you can advance through the ranks."

While Oleander didn't think he would go all the way to Ascended, he was quite happy reaching Adept if anything else. But in a way if this young buck was going to go all the way, who was Oleander to let him go it a lone. All the more fun to have a little competition, friendly of course.

"I have scrolls back at my den written by older Nouls about the different gifts. If it is something you are interested. Solars are quite interesting, I always wonder how they can play off of other gifts." This got him into one of his thinking phases. One where he almost seems to stare off into the distance. Shaking his head he chuckled slightly. "But that is another thing to ponder about. Perhaps even asking other nouls of different gifts."

Oleander's ears twitched as he listened to the patter of the rain. It did seem that it was moving off and it would be easier to move around in. This pleased him that he could get these new books to his den, even lead the younger buck there. There seemed to be many doors opening before them. A budding friendship was growing there and many things pulling them closer together. Not only that they were both Solar users. Nah. That was just a happy coincidence. Shaking his head as he seemed lost in his own thoughts again, he looked back to Tsarine.

"Yes, before the rain comes around again Never known some storms, they can come around again." Oleander nodded as he looked back to Tsarine. "When we get to the edges of the ruins I can lead us to my home. It is a little small, maybe a little crowded with things. But home is what you make of it, huh?" he chuckled taking one last look around before picking up a small cat figure. An ear had been broken off, but it was still smiling and waving at him. Tucking it too into his satchel, Oleander awaited for Tsarine to move on out. He was anxious to get home and see what was inside the books. Oh the many secrets to be had.

It seemed that his new friend was just as eager to leave the place as he was. Well, maybe not the place he had lived at, but the ruins them selves. If he had the power, Oleander would have loved to move the sanctuary of his young friend to Homewood, but that was a feat that no Noul could do. At least none that he had ever heard of. Still new things were being discovered every day and who knew what sort of new magics were being released by the great tree.

Shaking his head, clearing the thoughts away, he focused on the path back. Minding where he was placing his hooves. Ears flicking at the slightest of sounds that could be heard within the Ruins. There was the ever shifting of things as the buildings settled even more as their foundations were cracked beyond repair. Oh how he wished he could see what the had looked like in their prime! To travel back to when these Others were living on the planet... Though he didn't much want to see the destruction that they had done. That was still going on now, even with their help, the wounds were still deep in Vykeli's hide.

Again lost within his own little world Oleander nearly bumped into Tsarine when he stopped. Giving the place a glance around, he nearly didn't see the younger buck pick up his pace. A little confused by these actions, Oleander picked up his own and before long they were back to where they had started. Giving himself a moments rest, he looked to the buck.

"That's alright, there are many things out here that can make a buck jumpy." he nodded, not really thinking of the beasts that roamed. Beasts that were said to have been things the Others had left in their haste to leave the planet many eons ago.

"Now to get my bearings a little..." he paced to one of the doors in the building, he squinted outside before looking back. "This way, we head almost straight on and into the trees. My home ain't too far from here. Far in enough to avoid bad beasties from this place. But close enough to scavenge what one can." he grinned before stepping back outside and into the wet.

It was a near straight shot from there to his home. Not that he really planned it, but it was what it was. The night was growing on them fast and if he knew the beasts here and that was very little.. Never really took the time to read up about them in what Noul scrolls he had. Oleander wasn't about to let one get close enough to smell him, let alone have a nibble.. Nah, he wanted to be safe and at home before the last of the light was gone..
