Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yes, I hope so too. Though, I would personally not like to have a run-in with fate anytime soon!" Fai finally turned his attention to the mage as well, though through the corner of his eyes. Now that he was closer, he could see that this mage had great power within his eyes, different than his own. And the cloak hood shaded over them gave them a fierce gleam, making them all the more mysterious.

Raistlin shrugged lightly, he hadnt really thought about that "We will linger if capable. Caramon can teach young'ns various things, or keep them entertained with stories from our homeland" He said with a light nod "I will continue with my studies, if i feel up to it, i might teach magic to those capable of learning. Nothing is deffinite or defined."

His hourglass eyes, shifted to the other kitsu, the one who was taking notice of him. He quirked a slender brow. Generally Raistlin did not fare well under such close observation. He bowed his head softly in greeting. "Salutations..." He said softly. His ears laid back as his throat constricted, he coughed into his sleeve, having no time to grab his hankerchief. He stepped back a few steps, as to not caugh on either of them. His grip lessened on his precious staff as he reached for his tea. The staff stood straight, despite having no one to hold it, the young mage sipped his cold tea, it helped to lessen his body shattering cough's. When he felt up to it again, he put his tea down, and resumed his spot beside his staff. He mumbled an appology for the coughing fit.

Caramon wasnt far enough away to not hear the fit, he fretted for a few minutes, he wanted to run to his brother and get him his tea, but he'd been told to go enjoy himself. And the coughing fit subsided. He worried a bit less, but still didnt want to leave. With a difficult sigh he continued on his way, but kept the hilltop with his brother in sight.

The pale kitsu's reaction to her words was intriguing. His mention of avoiding fate brought up a thought in her head. She believed that his earlier mentioning of his country and his reasons for this journey swirled around that very idea of fate. On the run for whatever reason, as he journeyed to avoid his country's King was probably what he meant by that sentence.

Raistlin's plans with his brother seemed alright. At least his ideas were genuine and would contribute to this society of kitsus. The young ones would probably appreciate the story time tales, too. Same went for magic using folks. The twins seemed like they would fit into the kitsu society just fine.

She winced as she saw Raistlin go on one of his coughing fits again. Thankfully he was strong enough to grab his tea by himself, but Lenneth still wondered if he would be alright by himself as his brother wandered about close by. During these coughing fits, the kitsu wondered if he really accepted the price for his powers fully. Surely he too, had some regrets in taking his test to gain this much power. It has weakened him enough that he was so frail and sickly. Was it truly worth it?

Fai paid close attention to Raistlin's health. It seemed the magic was the source of his frailty. Though the kitsu seemed to have no regrets, probably prefering the strength of magic rather than normal strengths alone. Fai closed his eyes at the remembrance of a phrase. What was it? 'Every strength has its weakness.' In the sense of magic, that was quite understandable. And this mage came from a dead world as well, perhaps these siblings were the only inhabitants left to survive. "I am sorry to hear of your world's tragic fate." There was that word again-fate. Even in conversations it showed its immortal presence.

Colista walked beside him slowly but then paused" i apologize. Azrael is intimidating to me. And he has not been at all honest with me in the least. " she sat down suddenly a solem look on her face. Though her stature was one of a great weight being lifted off someones shoulders. " I have told you i have children but i have neglected to mention their fathers. " she looked up to where he was standing. Trying to sense any change in demeanor" The first one vanished on me. I do not know what happened. I was young and rushed into it. However the last father. He vanished on me as well. My heart tells me that he would not do this on purpose. He is not the type. However when i ask azrael what happened..he wont tell me. " she sighed her shoulders slumped slighty." This is why azrael is more fond of me. Than i am of him. He is probably the only kitsu i do not like very much."

She stared at him strangely for a brief time. Where did those words come from? Lenneth chuckled softly at his words. She never expected him of all people to say such things. "You of all people saying such words is almost unbelievable." The kitsu said with a grin. "But yes...What you said is true. Yet one cannot help but feel so sometimes." She gave a small nod. Even the most optimistic sometimes feel down once or twice.

Fai's words were also true. One should never forsake their own dreams to fulfill another's. While other people's wishes were important, each individual's dreams were always more important. Without the existence of one's own, it cannot give birth to another. Either it another's or that individual's alone. "That is true, too. Both should be kept in mind, however." She added gently.
