Welcome to Gaia! ::

Austin ashed his pipe again, putting it away after letting it cool for a moment.
"It's whatever, really. If you'd like, I could be your teacher. If you'd just like a couple pointers, that's cool too. Either way, I'm returning to the Sand Nation in three days' time."
Austin interwove his fingers and outstretched his arms behind his head, arching his back slightly. A couple joints cracked faintly, and Austin stood up, rocking up to the balls of his feet for a moment and reaching for the sky. After stretching, he resumed a normal stance, and turned to Mika.
"Well, shall we go? Before anything happens, I need to see how your abilities work."

Austin had that in mind, so it didn't bother him much when she took the leading initiative.
He slipped his hands into his pockets and began in the direction of the Training hall.

Ada felt astonished but gave him a challenging look. She didn't want people to know her true feelings whenever she faked happiness. That was the point of faking it, to keep it secret, not to be exposed to others. "Well, you better check that eye of yours because it's giving you mixed signals." She laughed a true laugh, partially hoping to make his "magical" eye confused. The other part was because she was humored by the fact that Ken backed up a bit when she pointed out how close they were. "Hmm, you were ignored, you say? What did you do? I mean, if you actually did anything."

Ken looked between the two girls once again and sighed. They were teasing him again. He looked towards Ada, smirking once again. "My eye never lies~." He said in a matter-of-fact tone then let his features become straight as she spoke of him being ignored, saying he might have done something. "I didn't do anything! I just asked her what's up and she ran off..." He shook his head and sighed before his attention was brought over towards Akemi calling him cuckoo. He frowned and closed his eyes, ignoring her. He could tell Ada wasn't that happy right now. Her laugh had been sincere, but before that... Ken walked towards Akemi and wrapped his arm around her waist, knowing just how flustered she'd get from it. "We should all go and grab a bite to eat. What do you guys think?" He said, a sincere smile on his face now, while an evil laugh was playing out within his mind from what he believed Akemi was thinking.

Ken's blind spot happened to be on the side Akemi was on, but he turned his head a bit to look at her, noticing just how bad she was blushing. He smiled, thinking it was rather cute before he felt her trying to get free. He laughed nervously, actually feeling a bit reluctant to let her go. He had a peaceful feeling as he held her close, but felt like an idiot as she pointed down at his arm, basically requesting him to let go. He frowned and looked at her, not quite letting go yet, but loosening his grip. "Ummm... If you'd like..." he said quietly, letting the rest of his hold lessen until his arm was at his side again and he was a couple feet to the side of her. Why had something that was supposed to be a joke, made him feel happy, not amused? It was weird... "Well, let's just find somewhere to eat right now." He nodded his head, smiling once again as he looked between the girls.

Ada stood on the side lines, giggling uncontrollably. When Akemi and Ken were done with their little stunt, her cheeks were flushed. Unlike Akemi, Ada was stayed red for a longer period of time. They didn't seem to be very subtle with their affections. It was quite a show to watch them, and Ada was looking forward to the time when they would confess to each other. When her skin tone went back to its original color, Ada finally paid attention to what was going on. "I don't know any places nearby. Isn't that why we were exploring?"

Ryuu walked outside into the Courtyard of Tenshi University, and his eyes nearly sparkled with delight as he noticed the perfectly lush green grass. Each one looked like it was tended seperately. The tall oak and cherry trees that stood tall and had many branches that begged him to rest on them. And all the students... this place just called his name. Ignoring just about all the wierd and questioning looks he got, he walked over to the nearest tree and climbed it like a free runner. Once he got to a suitable branch, he laid his back against the trunk of the tree to watch the students do their thing. He grinned widely to himself, he could easily get used to this, everyone here was like him. He saw a few students playing with their powers, each one doing a sort of 'dance off' with their respective element. He looked down at his own hands, wondering if his healing ability could do anything to show off.
