Rajih had never been to the city of Moonfall yet something about the city as he passed by the many times to Lumena, encouraged him to visit at least once in his young student life. One never knew how the world would turn fate. He raised his hands over his head to rest on the small of his back where his neck met the spine and lesiuraly walked into the city.
At first he was blinded by the sheer amount of color and activity fo the city. Arcades, shops, malls, bright lights, sounds and smells assaulted his sensitive senses. Where he was used to the quiet bustle of Lumena, and even the quieter village of Clarus Arbor. The city was a hot spot for the students that went to his school, already he had passed by large groups of them with the Makai uniform, giggling or laughing with joy.
He wished he had brought Phil...and maybe Theo to play in the city. While the second boy annoyed Rajih to no end, he was the only other one that Rajih had made a bond with. Phil of course was the closest of the two and while Phil and Rajih were at the same level of hobbies and what not, He still wished he would've brought him.
Sighing, he wandered the streets alone and without paying attention to his surroundings. He ran smack into a beautiful young woman that had them tripping and toppling onto the pavement. People only stopped for a second to stare before moving on. Rajih, oddly enough had the girl pinned underneath him and started barraging her with apologies.
"Jeez, are you okay? I am so sorry." Rajih got up, flushing with embarrassment as he offered his hand to help her up.

 Ophelia donned a black jacket over her normal attire as she left her apartment. The sun was just beginning to set and the sky had a slight pink tint. Walking along the streets, she watched as the brightly-colored signs flickered for a moment before turning on. This was always one of her favorite moments of the day, watching Moonfall come to life as the sun set. The reaper pulled her headphones over her ears and switched her music to something simple and calming before shoving her hands into her pockets. Humming the tune, she stared at the floor, watching all the feet pass by her as she wove her way through the crowd. Ophelia had no specific destination, but was out on a simple stroll. With the tune in the background and vibrant lights all around her, she closed her eyes for but a moment and immediately felt something run into her. Instinctively, she materialized her scythe, but it only appeared for a brief moment before she recognized the Makai Uniform and dispersed her weapon. The crowd around the two continued on, going with the flow of daily life. A slight frown made its way onto Ophelia's face, as she was a little annoyed by her evening being interrupted. "Watch where you're going, jerk," she snapped, yet still took his hand to get up. Her grip was firm, and she took a moment to stand again since she was wearing heels. Sighing, she took to brushing off the dirt on her jacket and shorts before looking up at the student before her. Spotting his flushed cheeks, Ophelia struggled to suppress a tiny, mischievous grin as she stared at him for a moment.

Rajih flushed continuously as he stared at her, pulling her up and taking the quick snipe at him. He deserved it and smiled sadly. "I didn't mean to hit such a pretty lady like yourself." he tried weakly to smooth the ruffled feathers of the girl. Oddly enough, when he grabbed her hand, he couldn't feel magic siphoning off her and relaxed, but only momentarily. She was human, no Majin and the only other outlet of witch classes that didn't have a temporary euphoria of magic siphoning for him was the dreaded Reapers. He had read that they were the enemies of Majin and Saviors of the Human race as a whole, their weapons we're able to cleave a Majin, stealing not only the Majin magics but that of the witches they took in our a witches Heart itself.
He, terrified, just stood there and stared at her before backing away slowly. "Ah, right, So sorry, didn't mean to take you out. Think I'll be off now." He gave her a wary smile before backing even more quickly away. Darn, Moonfall boasted a Reaper and Rajih had met her on the first try. How unlucky was that? Here's hoping she doesn't find out I'm a Majin, Rajih let the little trickle of fear come out. Though it could all easily mistaken for shyness and lack of actual female interaction. Oddly enough, Rajih had noticed when he fell, the nice cushion of her chest and the soft body. Wow, scared for his little majin life and still thought perverted thoughts. What a boy.
"So Yeah, uh, sorry again for the bump, have a good day!" He almost got away.

Ophelia pulled her headphones down in time to hear him speak. She stared at him with a blank expression for a moment at the compliment. It caught her off-guard enough for her to stand there like a deer in the headlights before she blinked and felt the blush on her cheeks.
And then he turned to run off! This boy. Bumps into a girl. Calls her pretty. And runs off.
Ophelia stuttered a bit, confused by his actions. She checked her pockets; nope, wallet and mp3 player still there. "Buh--...Where are you going!?" she exclaimed, running after him. She was surprisingly nimble in her high heels and caught up to the boy, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him close. "I'm not done with you, just yet." she said playfully. The girl could be such a tease.

Rajih had thought he was safe, a good distance ahead of the reaper even if she decided to chase him. Though he was sure he didn't warrant the attention of a reaper after all. Looking behind him to make sure he was safe, he was surprised to see her coming on him, and fast. High heels or no, she was moving like a gazelle as she leaped upon him. He was so taken with surprise that he could only stare up at her as she clung to him.
"I was uh....done with me? What do you mean Done with me?" He looked at her with wide green eyes before realizing that they were in a close embrace that had people giggling at them. Embarrassed more at himself then her, he slid out of her grip before waving his hands in front of him to make sure she didn't get any closer, "Okay look Pretty lady, because you are in fact a very pretty girl. I was just here to check out Moonfall, usually I haunt around Lumena cause the Library is cool and all but someone told me Moonfall is not so bad itself." He rambled, keeping her from realizing that he was a Majin, He wasn't sure if she was a reaper or not, but they did tend to hold grudges against his kind after all.
"So I mean, I was just going to hit the town so to speak, It'll probably be boring for a gorgeous girl like yourself ya know? I mean you don't want to be caught wandering around with some young lowly Makai student like me right?" Smiling crookedly, he begins to wander away again, "So uh, Nice to meet you and all, sorry again for hitting you. Maybe see ya next time I decide to wander around Moonfall again yeah?" Which would never happen again, at least till she wasn't there or wasn't a threat to him.

Ophelia stood her ground as she listened to the boy speak. She sat there in a daze of sorts while he complimented her, explained his presence, demeaned himself, and tried to weasel his way out of this again.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa there mister." she said, grabbing him by the collar as he turned away. "Number one, you don't compliment a girl's looks and then run away. Twice. Number two, in my experience, nobody from Makai is ever boring." she smiled at that, a grin really. "And number three, it sounds to me like you're new to the city of Moonfall. And you sure are lucky to have run into me... literally..." she added, locking him next to her with her arm tight around his neck. Not too tight, of course, but she wasn't letting him escape again.
"And that is because~....I'm going to give you the best tour of your life!" she said, flourishing with her free hand towards the bustle of the city.
"My name is Ophelia and I will be your tour guide this evening~" she said, falling into the role with a playful smile.

Rajih had thought he had gotten away, he was pretty slick about escaping after all, but she was a quick one indeed and wasn't shy at all. This girl, Rajih though, was going to be a handful and all he wanted to do after all was escape. Remember, she's a reaper, a reaper...A REAPER.
Ack! Caught again! He didn't even get far enough to way goodbye as she tugged on his collar, keeping him still in place. "Well like I said, your a pretty girl, not so good with pretty girl's ya know? Its like you guys have this aura of....prettiness that just makes a guy like me wanna hide my pitiful presence!" He joked, laughing though his eyes darted around. "Oh yeah? Meet many Makai students?" He looked over at her before grinning, "I am nothing like the ones you met..." Most likely, "Just your average student with average grades and average magic." He joked again, keeping the grin plastered on. Ah nerves, stop freaking out, she hasn't got onto us yet! "Ah yeah, New indeed, Never been around these parts. Was thinking this city might be too big for my taste." He rubbed his hand over his arm before his jaw dropped.
"Tour...Tour of the city?" Rajih internally cringed in her grasp, his neck firmly cushioned under her arm and to the side of her boob. Awesome. Escape Failed. Mission Aborted, Consider your life over Majin because you just managed to hook the only Reaper in the town to walking you around the city. To the outside world, He had a internal smile on, nodding his head at Ophelia.
"Ah, My name's Rajih, Nice to meet'cha Ophelia." He nodded his head with a depressing sadness, resigning to his doomed fate, now what was he to do? "So...Best tour yeah? Where should we start then?" He piped up, well in his last moments at least he would get to see the city that he had yet to walk around.

Ophelia tilted her head at the boy as he continued to babble nervously. She wondered why he was so defensive and fidgity, always trying to run away from her. Her expression melted as it dawned on her.
"You have a girlfriend! No wonder you're acting so weird! Ohhhh I should have noticed this earlier.." she said, scolding herself as she clutched her head. Naturally, this meant she let go of the poor boy. After all, what if his girlfriend was somewhere nearby? What if she saw them! That would spell instant drama! She's read about this before, of course. Situations like this never ended well.
"I'm so sorry for acting like that. I mean you no harm....Do you still want that tour?" she asked, a pleading look on her face. She was...actually kind of looking forward to giving someone a tour of the city.

"Girlfriend?" Rajih just stared at her before waving his hand, "No no no, I have no such thing. There is no such...girl...who is more than a friend...for me." Rajih finished lamely before waving his hands again. "You got it all wrong Ophelia, like I said, its just cause your a pretty lady that I get so nervous." and the fact you were a reaper to but since well, your not noticing me as I am, I won't worry about you. Or so his thought process ran so far.
"Ah its fine, I mean your fine. Well its not really fine cause of course it makes me a little nervous but I mean-" Rajih rubbed his neck before breaking down, how could he say no to that face? He couldn't. Augh. Rajih's weakness number one, Sad girl faces.
"Sure, if your still willing I guess. Your the tour guide, lead the way." Rajih offered his arm for her to hold onto, it was the gentlemanly thing to do after all.

Ophelia sighed with relief that she was wrong about his relationship status. No angry girlfriends at her throat to worry about. Good!
As he offered his arm for her, the reaper blushed, but took it greedily. She grinned, not one of mischief, but one that spread nearly ear to ear out of pure joy. With a bounce in her step, she started off, arm in arm with the witchling boy.
"First stop will be the bazaar! You've not seen a true shopping district until you've seen Moonfall's. It's close-by." she said, weaving themselves through the throng of people. They maneuvered only a block before reaching a heavily and most colorfully lit street. Various shops lined the sidewalks, which in turn were filled with small booths and merchandise carts. Signs and flags were everywhere, desperately waving and trying to be seen above all the rest. People poured into the street, everyone buying or selling something, only a few just trying to make their way through. "This is one of the busiest places in the entire city, so it's easy to get lost here. But you can buy almost anything you want here! For the right price of course," she said, stopping at the street's edge so Rajih could take in the full view of it. She smiled again, as even though she'd been all around Moonfall many times before, seeing the sights with someone else was like seeing Moonfall in a different light.

Rajih didn't sigh nor did he drop his head when she took his arm. Nor did he blush like a fool but instead placed a very easy and almost excited smile on to match hers. He couldn't not smile with the way she was so happy, it was almost sinful not to be caught up in her excitement.
"The Bazaar?" He walked along with her, half noticing that she had the longest legs in the world it seemed like because at her break neck pace, he was more of getting dragged beside her then actually walking. "Lot of People here." Rajih tried to maneuver his body so that he didn't touch a lot of the witches bustling around. though he was trying to get his hunger under control, he was still learning to siphon on thought to touch instead of his body greedily taking whatever it could.
She stopped suddenly and Rajih took that moment to look over the Bazaar, awed by the colors and sheer amount of shops that were all over. finding something here would be a lot easier then he thought, and resisted the urge to ask her if she minded walking to some of the shops so he could see what they offered. Moonfall was big after all, and there was much to see. He'd have to return later or something.
"Do you like the Bazaar Ophelia?" he looked over at her before pointing to it, "This place is beyond colorful though, Looks like someone painted a rainbow and dropped it all over." he said with a laugh in his voice.

"Are you kidding?" Ophelia chuckled, "I love every place in Moonfall. But here, it's so easy to lose yourself and forget about whatever's been bothering you. Just shop. Though I guess it's funner for a girl. I'm not sure." she said, rambling. She remained there for a moment, as if soaking in the last bit of light and energy from the marketplace before moving on.
"Come on, Rajih~" she said, and upon saying his name, she tried to think of a nickname for him. "Raj...Raj....Rajina?" she said, bursting out into laughter at the slightly obscene nickname. "Yes, yes! I'll call you Rajina" she said, giving him a playful wink. She hoped he wouldn't take it too personally. She gave everyone nicknames. And almost none of them actually liked them.
"Let's see...How about town square next?" she said, and without even waiting for a reply, she took off, her arm un-linking from his for a moment but her hand catching him like a hook to pull him along.

"No I don' think I was kidding?" He joked with her and enjoyed her enthusiasm of the city. Easy to lose yourself here? Rajih looked around and had to agree, It would be easy to be caught up in the bustling pace of this city, wasn't that what was happening now while he walked with Ophelia? It was fun. "Shopping, I would enjoy it more I suppose if I had the money to do so." Rajih was currently living off the funds that had been given to him by his old village before he was kicked out. Because they we're safe in his pocket rather then in his bank account, they could never take that away from him.
"Raj....RAJINA???" Rajih blushed before protesting profusely, "That sounds like a girl's name, makes me feel like a Girl....Why not call me like Raj or something." Anything but Rajina please!
He was too busy obsessing over the girl name to notice her dead speed run until he was dragged along. "Oh hey!" He tried to keep up with her pace as she headed to the next place, weren't tour guides suppose to take their time or something?

Ophelia shot a wide grin at his reaction to the nickname. She didn't even need to add any words to the smile for him to know the conclusion. Rajina it was!
Still tugging him along, she weaved them through the parting crowd, faces of surprise, and sometimes annoyance flashing by. The crowd eventually thinned as a fountain came into view. The fountain being the centerpiece of Moonfall's town square. It was a majestic sight, water spraying out like a glittering rainbow as it caught the colored lights decorating the trees nearby. Behind it stood the great clock tower, only seven minutes before the hour.
Turning, she let go of the poor boy's hand and stood proudly with her hands on her hips. "Tell me this isn't one of the best things you've ever laid eyes on." she dared him, grinning with pride at her city's sights.
