"Oh its.. heh." Bix shrugged and smiled a bit. "No it's okay. We're hunters right? People die. I guess she was just the first one who was even a little close to me." But not very close. He didn't really know anything about Julie. Her life was in a whole different universe than the real world. "I'm good with death I think. I mean coping and all that."
He really was okay. Okay enough anyway. He'd stopped thinking about Julie until someone mentioned her. He was sort of at that wistful stage.
"Dip them in some miiiillllk.." He gave her wiggly brows but then realized, before christmas? JEEZ. It was summer! Had she been gone that long? "Christmas? That's uh.. a while. Maybe we shouldn't try and eat them..."

"Hey we're hunters." She smiled back, waggling her own eyebrows back at him. "We live every day knowing it might be our last." She paused, thinking about it for a second before rolling her eyes to the ceiling.
"Or is the mighty intermediate hunter afraid of a little food poisoning?" Let alone if they were even ABLE to eat them anymore. Maybe they could play hockey with them.
Or checkers, if cut right.
"Actually come to think about it... that was my christmas present from julie. Sorry the ah, water epidemic left things really fuzzy." Some more than others.

The term 'mighty intermediate' made him laugh but he also turned a little red. The bane of Bix's existence was the telling nature of his pale skin. Every moment of embarrassment or sensitive topic would show up as a blush or complete red face flush. The truth was he felt like he was stagnant in his current rank and his best friend, someone 5 years younger than him, had already gotten full hunter status.
Bix was sure he wasn't even close to promotion. "You missed a whole bunch more trouble than JOY." Bix laughed. "It seems like every week we're getting sex changes or animal ears or.. something from the air or water. I'm more afraid of CHOKING on those rocks!" He laughed.
When she mentioned Christmas though, he blushed again and this time it seemed less embarrassed. "Oh god.. Christmas was crazy. That's when I first ended up in Julie's eye you know. She made me dress like Santa at the ball.. and the cookies were.. AWESOME." He remembered another girl and a beach but he hadn't seen her since he'd gone to apologize for barely knowing her and how weird things got. "Lots of .. foggy memories. We had to fight yetis and stuff... were you there for that?"
She also missed the gruesome brutality of the recent events with the horsemen. Lucky her.

"....So you got your own set of boobs one time huh?" She had a hunch, by that poster, he was more than happy about that little incident. She was pretty certain she was happy that she missed all those things. Ceres did not want to be walking about with a certain SOMETHING between her legs. "Sounds like..uhm. Fun." The last word was said with air quotes.
One thing to be thankful for the pods, who knew?
"I remember winning the dance contest during christmas. I...also remember something with ice sculptures. ...Cael was on my team." Oh yeah that was a hoot. She pretended to forget that sometimes honestly. He had cried on her while she gave him a hug. "I don't remember...wait did that Yeti appear after the ice sculpture contest?" Yeah she was too busy being off in her corner making snow angels, pleasantly ignoring that fight. She remembered complaining about it being noisy.
"God you'd think halloween was the real danger, sometimes its our own base!" She laughed at this shortly. More a 'heh heh' noise. Their leaders sure liked to keep them on their toes.

"Boobs are not as fun as I thought?" Though he hadn't left his room for the entirety of the time. Who knows what he was doing in there. "But the girls just got HUGER boobs. I seriously looked like one of those albino anime princesses.." Bix laughed and turned red again under his white hair.
"OH YEAH!" He pointed and nodded. The ice sculptures! He'd totally forgotten! "They came to life and we had to battle them.. YEAH! Oh my god this place is nuts, right?"
Bix closed his book, enjoying talking right now more than the reading. He settled on his bed while she sat on the floor, rolling to his belly and leaning his head on his arms.
"Sometimes, even though it's been so long, it just blows my mind. And seriously.. magic weapons everywhere. Come on! As a fellow nerd you have to acknowledge how awesome that is. And like.. okay.. Ofie? She has one eye and an eyescar. EYE. SCAR." He actually usually geeked out on people when he sparred them, amazed at how cool every weapon seemed to be.
Oh wait. He was geeking out right now!

"What do you think part of the appeal of coming here was?" She smiled at the thought, leaning backwards, hands planted on the floor behind her to keep her balanced. "A place where people were like me, seeing all the crazy s**t in the world, AND we get to fight pre-natural stuff? Some of the stuff we read as children is TRUE?"
A pause.
"Well i dont think Iron man or wonder woman are real, but the stories of stuff hiding under our beds at night sure was." The hunters were the 'heros' of this world. Why hadn't no one thought up a comic book about them? Or even stories? She guessed they were good about hiding the tracks.
"We should spar sometime, you soooo outclass me but it would be interesting. I think i might learn a thing or two. I didnt tell you this but Takeru thinks that his 'power' sucks, i personally think its pretty cool."
I heard that.
I know you did, but its true.

"Well alright little miss 'took a vacation'" Bix propped his head up and poked her in the arm. "I'll lay some s**t on you.. stuff you don't know."
He leaned in, wide eyed. "King Arthur was a hunter. AND Excalibur is here.. and MERLIN is a weapon. A STAFF! BAAAM!" He made explosion motions. "I just blew your mind." Unless she knew that, and then he was just a lame idiot.
Bix perked at the idea of a spar. He hopped up onto his butt, indian style. He was seemingly quick on his feet. "Ok.. shop talk.. sharing is caring." He motioned between them. "This is like friend building right here. What's your weapon? I'm an archer.. so I don't hit very hard and I do a lot of running." For distance. He didn't really do well with close combat but he'd been working on it and had gotten much better.
Suddenly he gave her a wiggled brow and a LOOK. "You show me yours, I'll show you mine."
He meant weapons... right?

Like a little child listening to their parents talk of magical rainbow farting ponies, her eyes were huge and sparkly somehow. "Arthur? Excalibur? MERLIN? Its all real!!!?" Oh that was totally news to her, and yes her mind WAS momentarily blurred.
"That makes sense! Wow hunters have been around for THAT long????" That made them ancient! Takeru has told her stories about his previous hunter before her, but this was news!
Shifting some too, she turned and sat up a little straighter. Talking about their weapons was something that hunters took seriously so, she would give him her attention. She was staring at the comic for a moment there.. but she closed it and set it on the corner of his bed. Rolling her eyes rather dramatically, she shook her head. All for theatrics. "Boys and their toys." Multiple meanings ahoy!
"Im a swordsman, so you being a archer gives you the major upper hand." He could after all hit from a distance while she would need to get in close to even have a chance. The only way would be to STAY close, not give him a chance to put distance between then, and she had a feeling this skinny white boy was a fast runner.
Instinctively she ran her hand towards her belt buckle. It was more ornament than anything, but the object itself looked like a Quilin, a deer with scales. it was slightly warm to the touch, but with a pull of power she summoned the long sword with the huge cracks in it. She was afraid one day the thing would break. "Takeru is a cranky old thing."

"Yeah I think Excalibur helps power this place or something? I dunno but it was intense. You can't even go NEAR them.." Their power was pretty indescribable. He still remembered Robert pinned from the force. Bix revered those things too much to even think he could approach.
"Oh my gooood so many people with swords." Bix had been sword attacked more times than he could count at this point. It didn't stop him from wanting to see it of course, and thankfully he wasn't disappointed. Of course as her hand ran over her belt buckle he started to think 'OH MY GOD YES A GIRL'S TAKING HER PAN-...oh' >D
Inside his mind he became a tiny anime girl screaming 'SUGOIIII' with sparkling eyes when the sword appeared in her hands. "Whoooooaaaah.." he touched the flat of it gently, "Cracks? Is it.. breaking or something?"

"Us hunters love our shiny poke sticks." Ceres Teased. Truly, there were a lot of hunters with blades of any type. Not just swords. Even Bix having a bow, she assumed there was arrows with it.
She didn't know he used like super special arrows.
"Hmm..." She eyed the sword with concern clearly on her face, using her free hand to also run a finger along one of the cracks. "I honestly don't know, he came with these when he became mine. He wont speak as to how he got them."
She figured it was some bad memory with his past Hunter, so she didn't push.
"Sooooo, lets see yours." She was just as curious about his own weapon.

"Yeah seems like they aren't big with the past stuff." Though Bix had never heard anything from Mina besides that she was a student. She sometimes talked like she'd been in a thousand battles but he suspected sometimes that the weapon was just as inexperienced as he was. She seemed more worried about fighting and devouring FEAR than anything else. When prompted her gave her a put on, sultry look. Looks more like he was squinting than sultry, but in his head it was TOTALLY the smolder. "Oh baby. You really know how to get a guy going.." His dialogue ended with him simply reaching in his pocket and pulling out a leather pouch. He could just summon her to his hand at this point, but the show was what she wanted. Bix dumped a handful of red marbles into his palm, rolling them a bit like he was practicing in his spare time as dexterity exercises. With a flash the bow formed in his hand. It was gold with large red gems embedded in the length. There weren't runes visible to the eye, instead they were IN the gems only showing when Mina was charged. Plumed white feathers fanned from the gold and he ran his hand over them. "This is Mina. She's... well shes honestly more like a latina phone sex operator in my head than she is a help." He wasn't lying. "Coolest part?" Bix turned and shifted to not have Ceres in the way, his form was practiced and he pulled back the string. A glowing red arrow formed in his fingers as he pulled and disappeared when he slowly eased the string back.

"you know Bix... you looked kkiinndddaa constipated." She said to him, amusing herself for a moment before staring.
And staring even more.
If her pupils could, they would have taken over her eyes at this point. To make a point, she even raised her body up on to her knees to get a closer look. "Its. So. SHINY." She actually dared to scoot up closer to the bed, and lean against it, just to stare a little more. Takeru was de-summoned and back to being a belt buckle once again, not wanting to ruin the other guys bed. Arms crossed in front of her chest as she fought the urge to reach out and see if those feathers were real.
"Oh man, so you never run out of arrows? Now isn't THAT nifty. Not to mention awesome. Do they hit like normal arrows too?" Aka: did they pierce. "Are they warm to the touch? How do they feel?" Tossing out the questions but, hey they were AURA arrows! That was something she had never seen!

Bix grinned obviously, not shy about his own admiration of the bow. He offered it out to her, if she wanted to touch, and the feathers were indeed real and soft but sturdy. Mystic weapon feathers *_*
"Apparently they sting and burn. But they usually disappear in a few moments and lave a little scorch mark. I've seen some of them pop sometimes." He made a pop motion. "After they hit."
He pulled another arrow again, holding it tight, his arm muscles showing that even though they were energy, he still was really pulling the bow string. His arms seemed to be pretty muscular at second glance but you could only really tell when he pulled the bow.
"Go ahead. You can touch it." He nodded to the arrow. It was tingly, sort of warm, but not hot. It definitely felt solid but their was actually no definable texture. The further he pulled back, the longer and brighter and it grew. I'm totally not talking about his arrow anymore >D.
"So.. what was he before?" He nodded to the belt. "Mina was a uh.. quetzcoatl." He stumbled over the word.

Hmmm his 'arrow' huh? >> Reaching a hand out slowly she totally felt the texture of the feathers first, face serious. SHe ran it though her fingers before drawing back. Huh... it really felt like feathers, but a little more stiff. She expected that was to prevent breaking in battle.
"Are your muscles more defined in your dominant arm?" It was something she always figured was true to archers, but comics and such tended to ignore that fact. Hands moving from the bow, she poked at the arrow next. Call her not trusting, call it instinct, but something that looked like fire USUALLY ended up feeling like fire. Though this felt.....weird. The tingly sensation was enough to make her pull her hand back after just barely brushing it. "Weird! Do you feel the weird tingle to it? Or just so used to it?"
"Thhaaat explains the feathers huh? Feathered serpent!" Standing up now, she made a move and sat down on the edge of his bed and pulled the ornate buckle right off of the belt. Holding it up, she showed him the picture that was carved in to it. "Keru is a Quilin, or Kirin in some tongues. Though he adamantly tells me there is a difference."

"Well I mean it's kind of inevitable but I have a pretty regular work out routine. I used to be a bit of a bookworm but since being good at that isn't generally a ton of help in Sun division, I've thrown myself more into the physical stuff." He popped a muscle for her, flexing but he looked almost sheepish. "I would have never imagined this for myself, really."
Dorm room computer nerd, walked all over by every girlfriend he had? This would have never been any sort of prospect.
"Umm it tingles but since Mina is in my head it feels alot more like she's alive, you know? I can tell it's her because she's with me?" He wondered if that sounded cheesy or even made sense. He eased the bowstring back again and the bow flashed and once again the red marbles rolled around in his palm. He put the leather pouch back into his pocket.
"Isn't that like.. the asian unicorns?"
