Welcome to Gaia! ::

((OOC: Offspring is really cool. Come out and Play is awesome. I'm a fan of Rise Against more though.))

Riku nodded, smiling, "Well that's good to hear." He turned to look at the continual looks from the crowd that refused to disperse, even after the Queen continually told them to go. "You heard the Queen, get going." When none of them moved, he moved his broad sword a bit out of it's sheath to reveal a small bit of the blade with the blue glow, and all of them scampered on. "Some of the students these days..." He put it back in the sheath and turned towards Aurelia. "So, other than me and you bumping into each other and falling, how've you been doing?" He paused his music that was going through his headphones for everyone to hear, and with the pause button pressed once, nothing was eminating from his head phones. "I myself haven't been up to anything."

Something in the back of his mind couldn't get past the awkward glances he and Aurelia were recieving. Just because they were of the opposite spectrum didn't mean they couldn't hold a civilized conversation... right?

((OOC: I can't help but notice that Riku isn't in the profile thread! MG! dramallama lol))

((I'm not a huge fan of The Offspring. Other songs I know are Get a Job and Pretty Fly for a White Guy, and that's pretty much it. xD))

Seeing Riku use his blade as a threat Aurelia couldn't help but let a small frown appear on her face. True, she was annoyed by the glances she was getting, but she found it unnecessary to go to that extent. Pushing that thought aside she returned her attention to his question. "I have been doing quite well, thank you." Aurelia wasn't sure if Riku had a class now or not, but she decided to continue their talk, since this was her free period. "Just thinking up of ideas for school events. I'm only in the brainstorming phase, though. Also, I thought I was missing something..." Looking into her schoolbag she found her pencil case inside. "Ah...never mind." Aurelia said nervously. "I guess I just found it." Turning to look behind her she saw another freshman looking at them, who then continued on his way. "Want to find another place to talk? I think the cafeteria is still open." She suggested. At that moment she wondered what Sebastian would think about this, her talking to the Rook of the Black Knights, but she found nothing wrong in conversing with Riku.

((well, she just left for a trip, so I'm assuming she will post your position when she gets back. ^.^))

"As long as nothing happens to heaven, I personally don't care too much about hell." Aurelia joked back. "And, you better have a free period right now. It wouldn't be good on my record if I let a student ditch class." She nudged him back playfully, opening the door to the cafeteria when they arrived. On his mentioning a school dance she could only laugh. "That is what I thought, but of course there is that risk." Taking a seat she pulled out a folder from her bag, retrieving a piece of paper with all of her ideas on it, the school dance crossed out. "I thought of having a school-wide sports day, but I don't think that is going to work, either." Aurelia took her pencil and drew a line across that idea as well. Looking at her paper she realized that all of her ideas were eliminated. Great...

Aurelia gave Riku a skeptical look, playing his game. "Really now? And how do you suppose the school will pay for that? Do you know how much such a trip costs?" Crossing her arms on the table she sighed and placed her head down on them, giving up on the idea. After all, this was the King's job, right? Sure, as the Queen she was supposed to help, but she couldn't think of anything more. Gazing upwards she looked at Riku, wondering how he can live without this kind of stress. Not wanting to read her history textbook and having nothing else to do she decided to play with him. Scooting her chair a little closer to his, she took his headphones. "What are you listening to?" Aurelia asked playfully, putting them on.

Hearing the drums begin the exposition of the song, Aurelia closed her eyes, content with listening to the music. As the seconds passed she admired the bass, feeling herself pulled into the music. Opening her eyes again she realized that this didn't happen everyday. Smiling back at Riku she poked him in the stomach. "Only if you had your headphones." She laughed, holding them to her ears. "However, I like this music, so I think I'm going to keep holding on to these. So, if you want to listen, you're going to have to get them back." Aurelia leaned in her seat, watching for Riku's reaction.

Aurelia couldn't help but laugh at Riku's expression, then look above her head. "Ah, what is this?" She asked, raising an eyebrow jokingly. Taking one hand off one of her ears she placed it on the bridge, blocking Riku's fingers from grasping the headphones there. "Nuh-uh~" Aurelia joked. "Good try," She laughed again. The Queen was happy that nobody else was in the cafeteria at this hour. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to have fun with Riku simply because of their positions. At this she smiled. Just because a person was labeled as a Black Knight does not mean that he or she is a bad person...

((He is a Rook. Right now Aurelia and Riku are just hanging out.))

((OOC: You just can't hate Riku, really. lol))

Riku laughed also, and did a short bow, "Why thank you for your kind compliment. However, as a Black Knight, it is my duty to foil anything you might do. Stealing my headphones is no exception." He grinned, but, he didn't quite know how to advance at all. He couldn't use both hands, as then there would be absolutely no challenge, and unplugging them would ruin it. Then an idea sparked into his head. "You aren't ticklish are you?" He knew for a fact she probably wouldn't give him that information, but... it was well worth a try. He then lifted to fingers up in a kind of boy scoutish salute, but, they were just off to the side to show he meant business.

No matter how childish.
