 "Not on purpose, right?" he asked, grinning. The feel of her tail moving around him was hypnotic, and it seemed to entrance him, until he blinked several times. He didn't know why he kept her close to him like this, or why neither of them broke the embrace, but he felt heavenly. Like the right thing. His face was a bright flush of rosey red by this time, suprised he hadn't screwed up, or why he wasn't so shy right now. Perhaps it was his good luck. Atra never told him how good it felt like to be holding someone like this, and thought that no words could describe it. Destiny awaits you... Destruction is afoot... Join the Zephyr Knights Army!

"Cadence can't help it..." Her ears lowered in embarassment as she recalled all the times were she had done something wrong or tripped and it had caused a huge catastrophe; it hurt to think about it. "I d-don't t-t-try..." Her stutter had returned, and the shyness flooded her body. A deep crimson revealed itself within her tanned skin, and she gently pushed herself away from Zee. "I-I-I d-d-don't m-mean to...it just...h-h-happens.."

Austin walked into the Greenhouse slowly. The same Emotionless look on his face that he had always worn. Wy should he be happy? Both his friends were off doing something else. HE had no plans for the day. He looked around, gazing at the plants. There were several plants that has poisonous roots, flowers, leaves, everythin. He was slightly amazed. He walked over to one. Pulling his hand out of his pocket. On the palm of his glove there was a transmutation circle. It glowed, and one of the flower petals turned to liquid. He yanked a vial and caught the liquid in midair.
"One death blossom petal.."
HE began to remember the ingredients to a potion he had learned long ago.

Nobara slowly walked into the greenhouse, yawning rather loudly. A few people looked over at her, and she merely raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't want to deal with them. Why had she even come in here...? Maybe it was the fact that being around nature calmed her a bit, it was like the old times back home, before she was forced to come here. Pushing her slender rimmed glasses up on her nose, her hair bouncing up and down as she walked, she noticed a boy mumbling to himself. What a weirdo!
Smirking and coming up behind him, she started to yell. "WHATCHA DOIN, STRANGER? I DON'T THINK WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING IN HERE IS ALLOWED!" Bouncing around him, she looked at what he was doing, purposely trying to be as annoying as possible, twirling around and "accidentally" bumping into him once or twice. If she could just drive him out, her goal of making at least one boy mad today would be accomplished...

"I'M PRACTICING ALCHEMY! THEY ALLOW IT! WHATCHA DOING HERE HUH? HUH? HUH HUH HUH???"
Austin had turned around and responded to Nobaras yelling with an equal response of yelling. He liked it when people tried to be annoying, it was kind of fun to him. He got to be annoying back. HE looked at her face. She was kinda cute, but not enough to make him feel intimidated. He narrowed his gaze a bit. She mightve been annoying, but...there was something interesting about her that he just couldnt get past. What was it? HE tried to figure it out in his head, but in the meantime, he just made an empty stare at Nobara.

"I'M JUST WANDERING AROUND HERE, THAT'S ALL!" She said even louder, cranking her voice up a notch. How DARE this boy challenge her like that! She would beat him down and make him WISH that he hadn't yelled at her... Rachel should have been here. The two of them together, they would bring him down so fast... but she was on her own here! She had to do this by herself! Clenching her fist tightly, her knuckles turning a bit whiter than before, she bit her lower lip and turned around, shrugging her shoulders. "Man, alchemy is so lame. That's only for the people who don't have any special powers by themselves... the ones who WANT to feel special."
Taking a step toward a small batch of plants, Nobara put her fingertip on top of one of the flower petals. She was one to talk. She didn't have anything, except for that strange time when she had shot fire out of her arrows... in fact, she wished she had her bow right now, it would enchance her confidence tenfold. What could she do? She had brought on this fight, now she just had to end it quickly, before the guy actually got pissed, and started cussing her out or something. "Yeah, I bet you're nothing special. I wonder why I even bothered you!" She said, turning around and giving a piercing grin, one that overflowed with confidence and determination.

"Yeah, thats me. Mr. Uninteresting. The one you chose to bother. You kow what? I wonder why you bothered me too...I mean, theres nothing interesting about me right? Im just some boring jackwad wtih no abilities. But you chose me for some other reason im guessing? Is it that boring Guys turn you on? No, that couldnt be it. Or maybe you just like bugging guys because you like to see how far you can push them? Oh well...I guess it doesnt matter now. I mean, You already chose to bug me. No changing that. Whether you chose me because i turn you on is your business I guess, Right? WEll?"
Austin raised an eyebrow. Waiting to see her response.

Gordon was checking out the plants and relaxing. This was unknown but Gordon had a soft spot for plants and such. Though he does not have any nature powers at all he has felt a close connection with plants when a walking talking tree saved him from near doom when he was only three years old. Ever since then he has respected all plant life in hopes tp repay his leafy savior.
But then something brought him out of his peacefull daze. Two people shouting both sounding like they both had over-inflated egos. He had come into the Green House to get away from that. " Excuse me. Can you guys please stop acting like jerks and let the rest of us relax in here and study the plant? Thank you" he said in a rare moment of being annoyed. Gordon almost always had a nice quiet temper but sometimes he could get a little annoyed.

Nobara stopped dead in her tracks, her mouth hanging open. She had never, ever, EVER been insulted like that before. Usually by this time guys were begging on their knees for her to stop insulting them. This guy was so different... it was like he was immune to it. She needed a change of plans, FAST, or else her rep might be ruined. And she would definitely NOT let that happen, no matter what. Her rep was her life. Smiling brightly, almost too sweetly, Nobara cocked her head to the side, taking a hesitant step toward him. Biting her lower lip, she forced herself to blush lightly, as much as she didn't want to. Putting her hands behind her back, she kicked lightly at the ground, her toes pointing inward. "Y-you're right.... you're so cute, and I didn't know how to approach you... I'm sorry..." she said, her eyes filling with fake tears. All those years of drama school certainly paid off....
"I mean, you look so kind deep down, and I wanted to know you better.... I'm so sorry I bothered you!" She said, giving him a pained look, as if she had done something completely wrong. Heh. BINGO. "I always do this!" Turning around and letting out a small sigh, she covered her face with her hands, her glasses fogging up. This better work... Unfortunately, another man had come up, and ruined her act. A JERK? She shattered it all. Her tears running down her cheeks, she ran up to the man and looked him in the eye, examining here. Were ALL boys at Ria so dull? "Ugh, why don't you leave US alone? It doesn't concern you."

" Maybe. But how would you like if I went to a place you relaxed at and started screaming and yelling like some kind of child. I mean look at you and me" he said pointing to the noticeable hieght dfiirence and age differnce. " Im smaller and younger than you and you two act like preschoolers fighting over something stupid" he said staring up at her with his big red eyes. Normally Gordon would be tolerant but like what was said. He just wanted to relax but these two where annoying him.

"Aww its alright. I forgive you for faking tears and acting like an a****d."
Austin smiled. Fake tears? Come On! He had cried more tears in his lifetime than she could imagine. He knew what the nature of true sadness was. THAT pitiful display of false emotions was falser than...than michael jacksons nose!!!
Austin shrugged. The girl was certainly interesting. She was determined on winning, and not being shown up. He wasnt determined on winning, or humiliating her. HE was just having fun with her. The most fun he had had in a while to be exact.
"You gave yourself away when you acted like a kindergardener. Girls dont act bold then turn into 6 year olds. Girls who act bold, go mild. Not wimpy-shy. A simplequiet apology would have been much more convincing."
And with that comment, Austin turned back towards his plants. Waiting still to see if she wanted to play.

THAT did it. "Haha, maybe I am an a****d!" She said, smiling and putting her hands on her hips. Nobara shrugged and flipped her hair around her fingers, grinning all the while. How dare this boy insult her so! To tell the truth, she was thankful that she had talked to him in such a.... quiet place. Nobody else was looking besides the boy whom had interrupted her. She just ignored him, he wasn't worth her time. NOTHING could bring her down, absolutely nothing. She had the confidence of thirty men, and that enough kept her going. "Haha, I guess you can at least notice when a girl fakes something." That IS his only good feature. The rest of him..? Ugh. "Then again, my act wasn't too persuasive." Rolilng her neck backward and cracking it, she yawned lightly. Man, now he was starting to bore her too... all guys were the same, after all.
Truth was, she didn't know what to say. She was stunned. In her tracks. Like a fly caught against honey. More than anything, she wanted to punch this guy so hard... the arrogant b*****d. I'm one to talk... she thought, but that wasn't the point. She. Would. Not. Lose. Going down wasn't a priority. "I bet right about now you're thinking about how fun it is toying with me. Like a puppet on your strings, right?" Smiling as she said this, she concealed it with the incredible hate welling up within her. She didn't even have a reason to hate this guy. It just happened, naturally. She wanted to tear him down and make him run off or strip his pride off his forehead, that's all.
And so far, it wasn't working.

Gordon shook his head as they kept argueing. " Those with the biggest ego fall the hardest. I wish I could teach both of you that lesson but I rather not. It be easier for you to learn it on your own" Gordon said sighing as he started to exmaine the plants again. " If either of you are riled up by such petty insults I would suggest anger mangement or those little squeaky balls" he said still talking.
" But people like you two start out fighting then next thing you know you guys are getting married" Gordon said laughing a bit.

Austin leaned back in his chair. and meshed his fingers together behind his head in a pillow.
"Nah, puppets are no fun. Too easy to manipulate. You are much more of a challenge. An interesting challenge. Though I must mention....getting angry never helps when insulting someone. I just thought you should know before you continue to press on into self humiliation.."
Austin closed one eye, watching her with the other sleepily.

She shut her ears. These men knew nothing. Absolutely nothing. Sure she got angry, and lost her temper. Nothing they said could hurt her now, she had heard it all back home. "I do get angry." She said a bit softer than usual, her charisma fading away just a bit. "I get angry and lose my temper. And I'm sorry for bothering you." They were right, in a way. Losing her temper would only make her angrier, and she might even resort to violence. It was better to n** this in the bud now. Turning around, she fluffed her hair up, taking out a stick of gum from her pocket and stuffing it into her mouth, chewing it quietly, mouth closed. Just walk away... Without a second thought, she opened the door to the greenhouse and shut it quietly, walking about three yards away from the house before kicking her foot into the ground, her face clenching up in anger. She had let him win. Forfeited. That wasn't at all like her.... ugh, she needed to talk to Rachel, badly.
