Welcome to Gaia! ::

She looked down at his hand, examing it for a moment before taking her own hand and letting it out to him, taking ahold of his and shaking it slowly. A small smile krept on her lips once more as she looked at him, observing his every move and how he talked carefully. It seemed to be a habit of hers to examine people when she meets them.

Deirdra bowed her head to him politely, letting her hair catch on her horns slightly as it went down, carressing her cheeks before lifting her head back up once more. "I'm Deirdra. It's.. Nice to meet you." She had a nervious little laugh after she spoke. She was still a little jittery from being in a new place with people she didnt know. Of course, wherever she went she didnt know anyone, so it wasnt much of a big difference for her really.

She nodded to him and looked back at him, resting his eyes on his. Her eyes seemed to search through him, not really meaning to though. It was another thing about her that she didn't even ever really notice. After she let go of his hand, and he let go of hers, she looked away from him and down in her lap once more.

After listening to his question, Deirdra shrugged her shoulders slightly and moved her eyes slowly back to his. "I.. I dont know really.." She began to say softly in reply. "I've only just arrived really.. So i dont know much about it..Heh.." She scratched behind her head, reaching her hand under her left horn. Her other hand now motioned over to her right side of her waist and held onto it before putting down her left hand.

"And, what about yourself..?" She decided to ask him in reply. Normally she wasnt the most excellent with conversations. But, she was being daring tonight. Since, she figured there was nothing to fear from anyone around here. Deirdra might actually open up for once.

Deirdra nodded slightly as he spoke, making sure he knew that she was listening ro him. She agreed with him on learning abilities and such. "Yes..I want to learn what my abilities even are. I know i have some.. But.. I cant.. find them.." She said slowly as she shrugged her shoulders slightly. Her right leg swayed back and forth with the weight of her large boot, making it almost like a pendulum.

Her attention was suddenly pulled as she heard Shien's comment about her horns. She had always been sensitive about them since she seemed to get ridiculed for them. Though, sometimes people were actually smart enough not to do that, since usually they ran away from her first.

"Oh.. I.. Uhh.." She staggered to speak. Deirdra pulled in her other leg close to her chest and wrapped her arms around it tightly. Her eyes moved to his and down, then up to his again. "Um.. Thanks." Her cheeks started to become a rosey color as she blushed from the second part of the comment. It surprised her to hear it, because she had never seen them as a sign of beauty or anything, just something that made her different. One of her hands slowly wandered up to her left horn. She felt it from its base and all the way to the end, ending at a sharp point that would peirce through anything. "Normally.. They are frowned upon.." Well, which wasnt really that unusual. Because, those horns were a sure sign of a demon.

Deirdra laughed a little as he patted the top of them. Shien made her feel a little better and more comftorable after talking to him for a while now. It made her more relaxed, which is what she needed depserately. "Thanks..." She said once more in reply, sitll blushing.

But, she herself did fell the chill in the air. She rubbed her upper arms slowly with her hands to keep hersef warm. The dress she was wearing was no doubt beautiful, but not at all warm. She saw him take off his coat for her and she grinned. "Oh.." She had an innocent look in her eyes as she looked to back to him. "Um.. Thank you, Shien.." She said quietly, nodding her head politely in return once more.

Her wings flattened more on her back so that the coat would fit around her, though with her small, thin body, it wasnt really hard to do anyway. She wrapped it around her and huddled inside of it. Deirdra took in a deep breath and closed her eyes momentarily, then opened them back up. They slowly moved back over towards him, observing him once more, letting the smile come back on her lips as she saw the Katana.

"So.. You are a swordsman?" She asked curiously.

Deirdra laughed a little and smirked. "Hm, thank you, Shien.." She just ignored how he scooted over closer to her. She almost didnt even notice really, since her eyes wandered back up to the dark sky. Taking in a deep breath, her eyes slowly closed as she leaned her head back. A small groan escaped from her lips as she repositioned herself by sitting on the bench indian-style and holding onto his coat tightly around her.

"It's good that you are learning fast though at it. Maybe some day you will be a master..." She spoke softly and let her voice almost drift through the air and over to him. Her eyes were still closed as she spoke to him.

Deirdra looked up at him innocently and smiled as he patted her on the head. "Ah, well that's a good goal though... Isnt it?" She tilted her head a little to the side. "Well, i think it is..." She let out another sigh and looked towards him with a small shrug.

"Well.. I..." She started to talk and then let out a breath to take in another one, full of fresh air. "I want to find out who i am..." Her eyes went down to her lap once more as she tilted it downwards, her hair falling to the sides of her face once more.

"I heard that this school has an amazing sized library and such. I figured.. Well.. Maybe i could do some research.. And put a few things together.. and all..." She said slowly, with a hint of saddness in her tone of voice as she spoke. "Hmm.. And i want to figure out my powers.." Deirdra ended with a nod.

Deirdra yawned a little while listening to him, giving in a nod here and there when she though necessary. "Ahh. Yeah.. But, atleast its nice to know a little something about yourself.. Heh.." She laughed a little uneasily to herself, and yawned one more time. She was getting very tired and her eyses were narrowed from them getting heavy.

She looked over to him and smiled. "Heh.. Yeah.. You're right.." Deirdra shivered a little as Shien leaned against her. Rising up off of the bench, she took off his coat and handed it to him while she stretched out her leathery wings. "Here.. Thanks for that.."

She smiled and nodded, then bowed to him. "I'm sorry that i must leave you.. But i have to sleep. It was great talking to you Shien. I hope to see you soon.." She smiled and waved to him as she turned around to leave, walking out of the courtyard.
