Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Nice to meet you, Orthae." Mizuki said with a smile. Then, she took the cat and her arms and cradled him. "Peace? That's a good name. Well then, nice meeting you too, Peace." She said, lifting him up and then nuzzling his nose. "He's so adorable!" She said with a small laugh, obviously unable to get over such a creature. After all, as a human, her knowledge of magical beings was limited. And, meeting Peace, Orthae, and Ryuu had made her day. Looking to Orthae she hugged the cat. "So, is it your first day here?" She asked, scratching Peace behind the ears, hoping to make him purr.

Laughing softly Orthae smiled and looked around. “Yeah, first day here, haven’t even bothered to find my dorm room yet. Maybe I should but, this school is so big...” He sighed and looked around. “I never knew there were so many people with powers.” Placing his arms on the table he laughed and looked over at Mizuki. “So, you’re human or?” Peace softly began to purr as he curled up in Mizuki’s arms a look of pure bliss plastered across his face. Looking up at her he softly licked her nose and kept purring.

“Half elf...” He said as he quickly stole a piece of food off Mizuki’s plate and smiled. “My father was a high elf, or as he said Eladrin. My mother was human.” Sighing he closed his eyes and leaned back, tossing the small morsel of food into the air catching it in his mouth. “Never got to meet mom, she died during child birth.” Pausing he opened one eye and looked at Mizuki. “At least that is what dad told me.”

Closing his eye he sighed and remained in the position he was. “Dad was a black magic user, one of the best in the village, my mom... she used white magic. Me on the other hand, I use both. Though my dark magic is the dominate one.” Laughing softly he ran his hands through his long silver hair and smiled. “All I can really do is summon Peace there with my white magic.” Opening both eyes he turned towards Mizuki and raised his eyebrow. “I hope you don’t mind me asking but, what happened to cause you to wear those bandages?”

((Lol. I understand, happens a lot more often then you'd think))
Sheba wasn't about to entertain the thought that the man would prove a danger to her staying. His aura was innocent enough, far more then anyone she had so far met.... But that didn't say much. His eyes intrigued her, as it was commonplace to think of them as a passage into the soul. If it were correct, then his was a very long and twisted pathway; hidden well behind a subconscious shield. If Sheba had been anything more then a corein magic user, perhaps she would've been able to read his eyes like a book. But she was not.
"Electricity?" Sheba stated slowly, a small smile crept into her face, "As in a bolt of lightning sort of electricity?" Her mind wandered; what was an elemental? She had heard so many different a thing over the years of them, but had no clue what to expect from this world; just as there were many recipes for a single dish, there too were many traits and mixed feelings of what an elemental was.
Things like this intrigued her, the shear fact that anyone dared speak of their abilities alone overwhelmed her. Sheba began to like this world more and more as she observed it more closely.
"It seems interesting to entertain the idea that a place so peaceful can house so many potent poisons," Sheba said to herself as she came off the topic, not sure if Ken had heard her closing remark.

Sheba frowned slightly, her mind was forced into the uncomfortable silence she had taken up many times before. A riot wouldn't be so bad, so long as there were people able to control it. But murder... That was another subject altogether. She remained silent for a second.
"Its happened before, in my homeland, and that of others; people have killed. They called it the great genocides," Sheba stated quietly, "But in this place, that can never happen. Because here the chaos is organized, even the darkest moments will be shrouded in light," She smiled before continuing with a happier edge to her voice, "Simple things, I cast spells; sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. They always take time and energy, though, sometimes if I have the right material I can amplify the effects. Spell casting isn't a very important ability though, yours rates much higher in so many ways. You can actually help people Ken, you can accomplish great things so simply." Sheba smiled, to be great help to people, not a hindrance to be discriminated against because of what she was; that was the dream she had once led. "Power must always be balanced Ken," Sheba said with a small laugh, "Just as there is no good, there is no bad either; only opinion. Having the power to make a difference is the deciding factor."

Ken noticed immediately that the word murder had downed Sheba quickly. He leaned back a bit on his heel as she spoke, her words sounding quite wise. The genocide part she had brought up, bothered him greatly. Was it her people that had been wiped out, or another. He shrugged, deciding it best not to ask questions on such touchy topics. He lifted a hand, rubbing his chin gently as he thought, a smile forming once again on his lips. "Thanks for the advice, and hell, you underestimate yourself, I think. I'm sure you can do some pretty damn amazing things, no?" He thought for a moment, leaving the conversation silent before he snapped his fingers, chuckling slightly. "We should train together or somethin'. I bet it'd be fun. You have a cell phone?" He asked, hoping even though she was from somewhere else, she knew what they were and had one herself. It'd be a lot easier to contact her with one.

Laughing Orthae shook his head. “Maybe I will. But, I don’t know, if the test can scar such a beautiful woman as you...” He said softly as he moved his hand to brush his fingers softly against her cheek. “They maybe it is too harsh for me.” However, in the back of his mind Orthae thought to himself “Maybe this exam wouldn’t be so bad; I could always find new people to join my cause.”

Shaking his head and smiling, Orthae began to speak once more. “So, would you like to go walk around or are you too busy to show a new school mate around?” Standing up he extended his hand towards Mizuki. “I’ll let you hold Peace until he gets too tired, he seems to really like you.”

Upon hearing its name, Peace’s ears perked right up as it looked at its owner. “Meow...” it said softly as it moved from Mizuki’s embrace until it lay across her shoulders, licking her cheek softly as it meowed once more. Closing its eyes Peace began to purr softly, its heart beating softly.
