Reyson nodded understanding. "I guess I know what you mean..." he prodded at the sand. "We both were 'raised' by different species." He decided not to tell Luke that he wasn't really 'raised' but rather 'created' by those Nagas. "What made you come back to the cattaurs anyways?"
He chuckled along with Luke "Hey you never know right?"

Luke's amused laugh faded as he thought. "I think I've heard of you before. It was nagas found you, right?" He shook his head. "I think I'd rather start my magic late than have all the magic I could get from being raised by nagas." He shrugged. "No offense though if you like them. I've only met one pleasant naga though. The rest..."
At Reyson's question, a soft, nostalgic smile fluttered across Luke's mouth. "The centauress who raised me. When I was a teen, she told me there were places with others of my own kind. That they could give me things that she couldn't. So I set off to find them." He paused a moment to wonder how his adoptive mother was doing right then, and if she thought of him anymore like she'd said she would.

Reyson hissed. "I hate those serpents." He hated those Nagas. He was only created to be their puppet, and nothing else. And now because of them, he always instinctively helped anyone he met even if he didn't want to. "They're greedy and evil. Nothing good will come out of them." he scowled throwing the pebble into the water.
Reyson sighed. He didn't want to be angry in front of someone he'd just met. "So I'm guessing most of the centaurs didn't like you too much?" he peered at Luke trying to change the subject.

Luke nodded slowly, suddenly even more relieved centaurs had found him instead of nagas.
He stiffened his jaw at the question. "Not all of them." He said stonily.

"Well...I'm guessing the centauress was kind to you." Reyson stared at him. "Was she to be your mate?"

Luke snorted in half amusement. "No. I called her mother. No one my own age would even think of-" He coughed to cut himself short and looked down the river. 'Stupid topic anyway.' He thought to himself. "I mean, I'm just waiting for the right one." A pleasant, neutral answer that pleased most others.
He smirked slightly. "So what about you? Got the ladies lined up for yourself?"

"Oh. Whoops." he scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Waiting for the right one huh?" Reyson nudged him smirking, "I bet you have your eye on a specific someone..."
Reyson crossed his arms, "Please. The ladies are all over me." he puffed up his chest. He knew he was lying anyways, but he didn't want to look like an outcast to this taur.

Luke shrugged noncommitally with a smirk of his own. "There are a few I like the looks of..." He was lying too. The closest he had was his previous teacher Clea, who he wasn't very fond of at this point, and Jaione, who was still just a kid.
He laughed in man-like comadre that only two males talking about females can have. "Can't keep them off you, eh? Careful you don't woo too many. They can get snippy about that kind of thing."

Reyson leaned closer to Luke, "So...they're pretty?" he winked at him. "What do they think of you?"
"Hmm...I'll have to take note of that." he smirked. He just hoped that the other taur didn't realize he was lying about the females. "Women are so petty aren't they?"

Luke chuckled. "Mostly. Cetainly some cuties out there." That cutie being Jaione, as cute as any child could be. He tilted his head. "Well, one seems pretty fond of me. Otherwise, they'll take some getting used too." Not an absolute lie, but a rather twisted truth. Clea was not one to get used to in his eyes.
"Petty? Usually, it's only if you give them reason to be so." He felt awkward talking about a subject that he had little experience with, and tried to give the females a better light than he had been giving them to make himself feel better.

"You gotta introduce me to them sometime." he nudged Luke. Reyson couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealously towards Luke. He wished women would be popular with him.
Wanting to go away from the topic of females so he wouldn't be caught lying, he decided to change the subject. "Do you still need help with your magic?"

Luke smirked. "We'll see." As in, if I ever found an interesting girl, I'll give you her friend.
He cocked his head and looked at the river. "Whatever." He said with a shrug. "If ya feel like it that is." Still sitting down, he pulled out a sphere of water and slowly spun it as it hovered above his hands. "I'll be working on this for a while."

Reyson stretched then slumped down on a small patch of grass. "Well...I'll be resting then." he leaned back and closed his eyes. He wasn't tired, but rather wanted to see what this taur was capable of, 'alone'.

Luke shrugged slightly, but otherwise kept his focus on the ball of water. He let it spin for a while longer, then pulled it down into his open hands. Using his fingers, he began to "mold" the sphere into different shapes. This was his favorite thing to do with his limited experience. And he was pretty good. Square, rectangle, diamonds, triangles. Then a little more complex. Tube-like pipes, squares like swiss cheese with the holes, rippled edges. Soon, he was moving on to flowers, trees, taurs. He found it odd that he could put in detail here, but working with little drops alone was hard. He smiled slightly as he practiced. He couldn't wait until he could get even more detail in his 'sculptures.'

Reyson peered at him with one eye open. He watched Luke form the droplets of water into figures. He wondered how someone with such limited experience could gain such precision and detail with the sculptures. He chuckled watching Luke more.
