Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh hell, the idiot's back. Aiko wasn't even remotely happy that the vampire had returned. He was so obviously new, he knew nothing of self-preservation.

Aiko turned back to the ents who now refused to touch her. Ehhh, and now Teishoku will find out who I really am...Will he see me differently? She very rarely used her name as a way to get special treatment, only for apologizes or the right to be heard. Finding out that Teishoku had no clue about who she was proved to be quite refreshing to her. And soon, these ents were going to ruin it all.

I guess there's only one thing to do... Maybe the vamp proved useful enough as a distraction. "Well, obviously you guys have a lot to discuss with each other. I will... y'know. I'll just leave and give you your privacy, just in case you're sharing secrets." Aiko turned to Teishoku. Really wish we could've started our lessons.... "As promised, I am bound to you. If you need me, for anything at all, call out 'Banshee'. My shadow will hear and alert me of your call." Aiko blew them a kiss and waved her good-bye, then ran out of the forest, her shadow flying behind her like a hawk.

Kaname looked down at his feet ashamed that he had made Aiko leave and hoping the beggar wouldn't cut his head off. "I'm very sorry Teishoku, its Teishoku right?" Kaname felt the smelly beggars anger with him. "Is there a way to umm get on your good side right now?"
if i'm not i'm most likely going to die here. Kaname turned his attention away from the beggar and saw the Ents "hello I don't believe we've met i'm Kaname" Kaname held his hand out to shake the Ents hand.

Kaname took a deep breath. With a god like voice he looked the beggar in the face and told him. "No...." and he backed away from the begger and sat next to a tree.

((darn it sofa...this would be so much easier if you just posted...))

Teishoku's jaw hit dropped instantaneously. Everyone was silent for a while. Teishoku was the first to recover. Creepy things like this have been happening more and more often around him so he was reletively used to it. He looked around and noticed that everyone was still staring at the large elephant who was now walking away with the unconscious idiot on his back. Teishoku was aching to know what the hell had happened, but not so much that he would just stay here. This crap was ridiculous.

He called to the Ent pinning his bandit to the ground. As the Naturia Sage, I order you to release my servant. He said in a commanding tone. The ent paused for a second, looked at Jorak, then let Durzo up. These guys are starting to get on my nerves. I haven't learned anything from them. He thought, annoyed as he turned and started walking away from the scene.

Durzo rushed to catch up to him. As they walked away. Durzo grinned mischievously and flashed a couple of scrolls that were tucked neatly in his shirt. You know what, I'm just gonna stop wondering about that guy. He decided. He figured he'd keep things between him and the bandit on a need to know basis. And right now, he didn't really need to know.

Teishoku sighed to himself. He didn't really want to come back into this forest, but the forest was pretty impressive and he knew he was going to have to return eventually regardless of what he wanted. This was sort of....his forest. If he wasn't in it, who would protect it?

Teishoku stuck his hand out and Durzo palmed him the scrolls. Teishoku was about to tell him his orders, but once again, Durzo answered before the orders were given. Back to Wind Empire, Pick up job. Got it. Where will you be? He spoke quickly, as if he were on a time limit. Finding religion...um...ok, sure He began to walk away from a beggar with a once again gaping mouth. Durzo grinned to himself. He loved doing that.

Teishoku continued to walk shaking his head as the bandit left his presence. He was looked for a temple he'd heard about here in the Tranquil Forest. It was supposed to help one get in touch with nature, which is something he would need if he was to become the sage everyone was talking about. He checked the scrolls within he shirt. He'd read them later. He didn't feel like training. He left the safety of his section of the forest to spread out and hopefully find the temple he was in search of.

Teishoku walked back into his forest humming to himself. Fede was a jerk, but it didn't mean Teishoku had to be in a bad mood. He smiled as the magical forces of his forest caressed him. His nature rune was getting more powerful, and lately, he'd been feeling something weird. It was like something was growing inside of him. He paid it no mind.

As he walked, he surveyed the area calmly. It was then that he saw that man standing in the distance. He was just standing there, apparently lost in thought. Teishoku began to walk towards him, requests to leave already on his tongue. When he got closer, he saw that the man had brought weapons. Swords??? He brought swords into 'My' forest? Who does this guy think he is? I hope he doesn't think those things will help him. Teishoku thought, his anger beginning to rise. He stopped in front of the man and folded his arms.

Look, I'm tired and haven't been having a very nice day. I'm gonna kindly request that you leave the premises unless you have some business with me, the keeper of this forest. A thread of his hair fell in front of his eyes. He shook his head slightly to dislodge it, its color change from reddish to white, reminding him of his method of 'induction' into the Ents, race. His arms were folded should he need to quickly remove a needle from the bracer on his right hand.

Aiko was tired after running so far. Sniffed at the air once more, hopping the man was somewhere close by. When his scent was noticably stronger this time, she almost jumped with glee. She dropped into a half crouch and stalked to where his scent was very strong. The only way to get answers it to drag it out of him. Otherwise, he'll lie or avoid my questions. She licked her lips in anticipation. Blood doesn't lie. Blood 'never' lies. She stayed silent until she was directly behind him.

Just before she was ready to pounce, Aiko heard a voice some ways away from her teacher. Upon further inspection, she saw that someone was addressing her teacher. A very hot guy, it seemed. No longer intrested in her friend, she sat up straight and tried to hear the man's words. She was shocked to hear him say her teacher's name as if they were friends. Why would a hottie know 'my' teacher? She glanced up at her teacher. Why can't my teacher be 'that' hot? She rustled some leaves around to announce her presence, then sent her shadow flying ahead. Sure that they knew she was there, she stepped from her hiding space and streched. " 'You' are a very hard man to find, teacher. Mind if I hunt here for a bit?"
