kaze1981 Arian pushed open the door to the shop, a large.. Well fairly large book tucked under the unicorn boy's left arm and a bright smile on his face.
It had taken a couple of days of pleading, but he'd gotten his Mummy to agree to play something on her harp for him - something happen.
His smile faded a little. Of course Uncle Kori had just had to spoil his fun and tell Mummy that she wasn't playing her harp in his place, but Mummy had said they could go down to the lantern shop and do it.
Arian turned half in the door to look at her "Come on Mummy, hurry up!" Sometimes she could be soo slow.Kaze gave Arian an amused look as the half sprite caught up to the unicorn boy, following him into the shop. The half sprite had a small harp carefully tucked under her arm and a bag of assorted coloured pencils and pens in the other, while tucked into her sash was a bag of cookies.
"Coming" she called giving Arian a fond look. Erina_Nobara Eri stepped lightly down the street, humming a tune as she headed for the familiar lanturn shop. She held Mocha in her hand, and he flickered happily along to Eri's song. There was something different about the girl. Could it have been her mood, or something else.....like for instance the small something, poking out of her back, and hanging off her shoulder. What was it? It looked almost like a tiny person, with small and fragile gray wings protruding from her back.
What a strange sight....But apparently Eri didn't think so, as she finally stepped inside the shop. She looked around. There was Arian. She'd met him once before. But who was that with him?
"Hello?" kaze1981 Arian smiled at the lady as she entered the shop, he'd met her here once before, although he wasn't sure of her name. It was Eri something.. Or was it just Eri? "Hi.. Eri" his voice was slightly hesitant as he decided on Eri.
He looked at the the small thing poking out of her back, curiousity flicking in his eyes at the what looked to be a tiny person "What's that?""Hello" Kaze gave the lady a friendly smile, the half sprite setting down her harp carefully on a small table before holding out the coloured pencils and pens to Arian. Grey eyes caught sight of the brown lantern "Oh you've got a lantern too." Erina_Nobara "Hi," Eri answered, giving them both a smile. "Oh? This is Prisma. Silent Prisma."
The name rang out in her mind as she recalled a scene from her childhoold. A bunch of children were standing around her.
'Why do you call her Prisma?' one asked. 'She's hardly colorful...'
'Well prisms work both ways and...well it's none of your business!' Eri argued.
The other kids just giggled and walked off.
Eri shook her mind clear of those thoughts. That was all in the past. These people wouldn't care anyway. "She's mute, by the way. In case she doesn't answer you. That's why," she explained, not wanting to appear rude in case she was quiet. "And yes. I purchased a 'lanturn' from here awhile back. I must say, this place is amazing...By the way, um...what's your name?" ^^ kaze1981 "Oh" Arian said - he'd been about to ask why she was called 'Silent Prisma' but mute meant not-able-to-talk so maybe that was why.
He gave Prisma a smile anyway "Hi Prisma."Kaze laughed "Oh I'm Kaze" she indicated Arian. "And this is Arian. Pleased to meet you and Miss Prisma too." She smiled and waved the colouring pencils at Arian to remind him that she still had them. Erina_Nobara One couldn't help, but notice how much alike Eri and Prisma were despite their appearences. There movement, and expressions were much the same when Eri spoke. They both smiled and waved. Prisma's attention was on the colored pencils. She'd never seen those before.
Eri plopped down on a couch. The angel hovered next to her, watching Arian closely. That's when Eri noticed Kaze's harp. "Oh do you play? Well I mean, I assume you do since you're carrying it," she chuckled. "I love music. Even though Prisma can't sing, we can still perform other spells with instruments and other things."Prisma: *cutely floats and watches* ".....""Um would it be weird if I asked to hear you play?" she questioned, giving a smile. kaze1981 Kaze looked amused at the lady's question "No it wouldn't.. Actually Arian has been badgering me to play him something, but we didn't want to disturb my friend - he owns the place where we live." She looked appologetically at the lady "I'm sorry I didn't catch your name, only Miss Prisma's."Arian made a face at the reference to Kori, but (surprising) stayed silent. Noticing the coloured pencils the unicorn boy grinned, finally taking the offered bag from Kaze and selected a green pencil. "Muumy's playing is nice, but she doesn't play very often. She's promised to play something happy for me though." Erina_Nobara "Oh, I apologize. The name's Eri," she said grinning. "And that's wonderful. I'd love to hear you."Prisma hovered down next to Arian, watching him, and then reaching out to poke at one of the colored pencils. "...." *blinkblink*"Oh err...sorry, heh," Eri apologized, looking at the little unicorn boy. "If she's bothering you don't hesitate to tell me. And I'll ask her to go back inside me." She thought about what she'd said. It probably made no sense what so ever to either Kaze or Arian. "Oh lemme quick explain here, so I don't sound....completely crazy," she chuckled. "Prisma is my angel. She's a direct reflection of my soul, and so she stays.....inside of me....usually....."Prisma jokingly stuck her tongue out when she heard Eri apologize. She just wanted to find out what those mysterious things were. They produced color when the boy moved it across the paper. Weird. Amazing even. "....""Anyhow, about your music?" Eri asked, adjusting Mocha in her lap. He blinked happily at the word 'music'. It was something he had shown interest in almost as soon as Eri had brought him home. kaze1981 Arian blinked as he noticed Prisma's interest in his coloured pencils and then smiled at her and held up a few of them. "Do you want to colour too?" He asked. "There's plenty of paper in my book so I can give you a bit if you want."Kaze had raised an eyebrow at Eri's comment about Prisma going inside her, but after Eri's explanation the half sprite had laughed. "Well I'm not considered completely normal myself" she said. "So strange things don't tend to bother me." She watched as Arian held out some coloured pencils to Prisma, before focusing on tuning the harp, her short if slender fingers gliding over the strings with the ease of long practise. "And I don't think Arian thinks she's bothering him, although" she let her voice drop slightly so Arian wouldn't overhear. "I wouldn't tell Arian what you just told me unless you want to face several questions."Arian looked over at Kaze "Are you going to play now Mummy?" He asked excitedly, his attention caught by the silvery strings. He soo wanted to know how it worked and how his mother was able to make it make music.
Maybe if he asked her when she was done she might tell him this time. Erina_Nobara Prisma clapped her hands together happily, taking one of the 'colored pencils' and a piece of paper. She had begun to draw non-other than herself, but she was adding rainbows to her wings and hair.Eri chuckled at Kaze's comment. "Alright then." Arian was obviously a curious one, so unless she had any wish to explain things to him, she had better be careful what she said.
The girl listened as Kaze began to play her beautiful music. She could tell why Arian was so eager to hear. It was very pretty. She closed her eyes and swayed back and forth slightly to the song. heart kaze1981 Arian had asked for something cheerful, so Kaze had settled on a song about two adventurers and the incompetent songstress who had followed them around trying to record their exploits.
The tune itself was an upbeat one, one she had learnt while working for Kori.. When she and Kirith had been out on assignment.
Kaze half-closed her eyes at the thought of the sprite with the everchanging hair .. Her mother's cousin. The memory bringing a turmoil of memories - even as she sang along to the tune that her fingers picked up, her voice whispery and soft yet at the same time each word clearly heard, dropping into the mostly silent room like a soft breeze, it's only mar the scritch of coloured pencil on paper and Arian's laughter at some of the songstress' exploits.Arian had been mostly silent - well apart from a 'Yay!' when his mother had given a nod in response to his question and having found a stool, sat on it, the harp on her lap before starting to play.
He blinked in surprise when Kaze started to sing - singing something that his mother did even less than playing her harp even though she had a nice voice - A really nice voice.
He could remember her singing back when he'd been stuck in his lantern - not very often, but sometimes. The voice making being in there less dull, if for a moment.
He giggled as Kaze reached the part about the music lady hanging out an inn window to try and spy on the adventurers and and falling out and getting caught on the inn sign - this song really was funny.
Tilting his head he caught sight of Prisma's picture, the rainbows in the wings and hair really pretty.. Much prettier than his picture of a tree in his opinion. Erina_Nobara Eri giggled as she listened to the exploits of the lady in the song. She applaueded once the song had ended. "You have a wonderful voice, and talented fingers I might add." She winked, and pointed toward the harp. "That's very pretty. Was it a gift?"Prisma smiled, pointing at Arian's picture. whee <333"I think she really likes it," Eri smiled. "She's never really been this enthusiastic about stuff before. I'll have to keep that in mind, and letter play around with colored pencils at home too. I just have to be careful what I let her color on." xD;Prisma clapped her hands excitedly. She liked this word 'color' that Eri, Arian, and Kaze kept saying."I like to play my flute since I can't really sing. And Prisma here can't either. She has a little sea shell flute she likes to use sometimes. It's our alternative to singing." She smiled. "Kinda wish I had brought it now. We coulda' had a duet," she chuckled.^^ kaze1981 Kaze gave a half bow at the end of the song. "I'm glad you like it" she told Eri with a smile. "It's been a while since I've played this one." Her smile faded slightly at Eri's second question.
"Yes it was a gift" Kaze said at last. "I was given it a long time ago." The half sprite left it at that, a funny look in her eyes momentarily before she smiled and changed the subject. "Would either you or Miss Prisma like a cookie?"Arian looked at Eri curiously "You and Prisma play the flute?" He asked interested. "Is it hard to play?" He looked at Prisma's picture "Yours is prettier than mine" he told her. "I like all the rainbowy colours" he said with a grin. Erina_Nobara Prisma smiled and shook her head. She disagreed.^^ <3"Heh, she likes yours more. She has this thing for trees." Eri grinned, knowing exactly why this was. wink When she noticed Kaze's change in expression when she talked about her gift, she decided not to press the matter. She hated to see people sad. "Yes we play flute. I don't think it's really all too hard. But I always get really lost in my music. It just takes ya other places ya know?" She sighed happily, leaning back in the couch cushions and adjusting Mocha on her lap. "I forget when I first started playing...It feels like it was so long ago."Prisma nodded excitedly, and drew a little shell on the back of her paper.Eri leaned over and inspected it. "Yup, that's what it looks like. "Oooh, I love cookies. Of course I'll have one."

Smiling Kaze held out the bag of cookies. "The flute is pretty instrument" the half sprite told Eri. "I like listening to it, even though my talents lie with the harp" she smiled ruefully. "It's something I learnt to do when I was younger - something I had some talent at."
She grinned "And I know what you mean about music taking you to other places, playing always makes me feel much more peaceful." The half sprite didn't mind talking about her music - or even music in general and her expression was much more open than when Eri had asked her if the harp had been a gift.
Arian blinked at Eri "But I'm not very good at drawing and Prisma's drawing is much more colourful than mine." He smiled at Prisma "I like colours, 'specially silver and jade - those are my favourite."
The unicorn boy wondered what Prisma's thing for trees was, trying to think of a reason and failing. Eventually he couldn't help but blurt out "What sort of thing for trees?"
He knew he probably shouldn't ask - but how else would he know things?

"Welll....." Eri began. I guess it couldn't hurt to tell them.
((she's such a blabbermouth xD how did she get a job as an agent? *snorts*))
Prisma: *adores the fact that Arian has a shade of green on him* <3 *reaches out to try and fluff his hair*
"What if I told you....I was sort of....a tree? A wood nymph actually. But I also go by another name, though hardly anyone calls me that. It's Yggrasil. I prefer Eri though." She smiled as she watched Prisma float about. She knew if the angel could talk she'd be chatting up a storm, most likely about gardening; flowers, trees, and the like. It brought a smile to her face. "Prisma's a reflection of my soul so she likes plants too. I store and purify energy....sort of.....life energy, just like a tree if that makes any sense. "I'm a pillar, holding things together in the place I come from. As long as nothin' bad happens to me, it's all good." ^^

Kaze looked at Eri, her grey eyes surprised.
A... Tree?
Wood nymph?
The half sprite had read about those, although she'd never met one before. Although not strictly classed as part of the elementals per se, Kaze had always felt that they should be.. After all from what she'd read wood nymphs were sensitive to plants and growth. Just like sprites - Even half breeds like her - were sensitive to air, the element which defined them.
Not that Kaze was that sensitive to...
Arian's voice interrupted her thoughts
"That's cool. Does that mean you have to turn into a tree?" Arian's emerald eyes were sparkling with fascination. "And do you have to eat tree food too?"
The unicorn boy blinked at that sudddenly realising something "Err what does a tree eat.. Appart from water?"

"Well, I like sunlight too. I can eat people-food though. It tastes too yummy to pass up. Like this cookie for instance" She gave a light-hearted laugh. The treat she had been handed by Kaze was wonderful. "And yes, I sometimes I have to turn into a tree." She nodded along in confirmation. "It's great feeling; to hold life in your branches. Even lil' animals come and make themselves at home." heart
Prisma grinned, and wiggled her fingers.
"Yes, and it's fantastic when it rains! Even though the lightening and harsh winds can be scary. The rain smells, tastes, and feels good. It's refreshing.....haha, and I here I am babbeling on. I'm sure this is far from interesting."
Prisma shook her head in dismay. It wasn't boring, not to her at least. She could listen to people talk about rain and wildlife for hours. (xD; )
"But enough about me. Unless of course there's someting else you'd like to know." She chuckled. "Tell me more about you then. Other then the fact that you're very good at baking cookies." <3

Arian's eyes were wide by this point "You eat sunlight?" He tilted his head. "What does it taste like? Does it taste really hot? Or is it crunchy?" The unicorn boy had never tasted sunlight before - not that he could.. Then again he wasn't a tree like Mis Eri was. "And Mummy likes the wind, especially when it's really windy, but she says that that's cause she's part wind and..."
Kaze's voice cut him off "Arian's right I do like windy days - I like stormy days too." She gave Arian a look having not expected the unicorn boy to blurt that out, although ruefully she acknowledged it was her own fault - Arian was just a child after all and didn't really understand the word secret. "As to about me - there's really not that much to tell - I like cookies and sweet things, look after Arian and live with a grouchy housemate."

"Sunlight....how it tastes? hmm. I'm not sure how to describe it. But rest assured, it's delicious." xD "A grouchy housemate huh? I live with three sisters who are friends of mine. Living with them is a little crazy though. All kinds of weird things are always happening. I've met some of the most interestin peolpe because of that though." whee She smiled, leaning back against her seat.
The lanturn in her lap flickered.
"Haha. Ya know, I wonder what he's thinking when he does that, just to be random. At least Hakari told me it was a boy. How do ya tell the gender of a lanturn anyway? Hmm." Oo
Prisma watched as Arian asked all his questions when she noticed a potted plan in a corner of the room. It looked as though it were dying. Without thinking, she quickly floated over and revived the poor thing with a short song on her shell flute.
"Eh?" Eri turned to watch momentarily and then went back to the conversation at hand.^^ <3

Kaze blinked at Eri's question about the gender of the lantern. "Come to think about it - that's a good question." The half sprite smiled ruefully "Though to be honest I kind of wasn't expecting Arian when I first brought his lantern."
"Mummy was sleeping" Arian added his two bits in. "And Uncle Kori was going to make me go back in the lantern" the unicorn boy sounded subdued for a moment. "Because he's mean like that." He perked up a little "But Mummy wouldn't let him."
Kaze sighed "My flatmate didn't react to well to Arian's manifestation." Her voice was wry "Although in his defence he wasn't expecting Arian either and he never was very good with surprises. He's been kind enough to put the pair of us up though, even though he hasn't had to."
Arian mumbled something quietly, although the mumbles subsided after Kaze gave him a look. Instead he focused on Eri's comment about sunlight "I wish I could try sunlight - it sounds tasty."

"Oh? So 'Kori' is his name? But I'm sure he didn't mean it. Why would he want to make someone so cute and green go away?" Eri questioned, more so to herself than anybody else. She wasn't really expecting an answer.
Prisma flew back over, leaving a small trail of gray feathers lying on the floor. When she arrived by Eri's side, she smiled and took the little brown lanturn from her. It appeared as though Prisma wanted her turn to hold onto it. She watched it carefully as the light's intensity changed as if it were trying to speak.
Eri chuckled when she heard about Arian's desire to 'try' sunlight. "Maybe someday you will." Hey, one never knows what the future holds. whee "That was kind of your friend to let you stay with him though."

Kaze laughed at Eri's question "Well Kori is the name I know him by, though it might not be his real name. He's been around a long time - he's a lot older than me." She grinned "And I'm older than I look."
Arian had been watching Prisma - well more specifically the trail of grey feathers left behind her - the unicorn boy reaching out one finger to experimentally touch one carefully before asking "Could I have a feather?"
The unicorn boy loved feathers - he liked all types although the soft ones were his favourite. Although Mummy and Uncle Kori didn't know he'd been keeping a collection of feathers under his bed from feather's he'd been able to find. "I'll look after it I promise!"
Secretly Arian wished he could have feathers of his own, could have feathers he could fly with like the birds did. He wasn't a bird though - he was a Unicorn, which was like a horse but with a horn that could do magical things according to the books he'd read - although he didn't know if he could do magical things.

"Oops, heh. Lemme clean that up," Eri began, when she noticed the feather's that her counterpart was leaving all over the floor. "You...you want one?" she asked, turning to Prisma. "What do you think? Is it okay?"
Prisma smiled and nodded. whee
"Then it's okay with me. I'm sure you'll take excellenct care of it!" she said, as she knelt to the floor and gathered the feathers. When she had finished, she went to stand next to Prisma. "Maybe you should stay next to me," she chuckled, waving one of the feather's under the angel's nose.
...Ch-CHU! Prisma couldn't help but sneeze. Even though no sound came afterward, you could tell she was giggling. xp
"Bless you." whee "About your age, ya know....I don't really know how old I am? I've always wondered, but no matter how hard I concentrate, I just can't remember. Heh."

Arian looked at Kaze curiously "Just how old are you Mummy?"
Kaze blinked "Older than you."
"But how old's older?" Arian looked puzzled "Is it old-old or not that old-old?"
"It's rude to ask a lady her age" Kaze told him with a teasing smile that suggested she wasn't offended, although she hadn't answered the question either. Instead she looked at Eri "It's very kind of Miss Prisma to let Arian have one of her feathers."
Arian switched from pouting slightly from not getting an answer to nodding eagerly "I will take care of it - I promise... Good care of it - my best care." He looked curiously at it "What sort of feather is it?" He'd written the type of feather for each of the other feathers he'd collected after looking them up carefully in a book about birds he'd found on the top of Uncle Kori's shelf.. Ok so he'd also knocked down some of the other books on the shelf and Uncle Kori hadn't been too happy about it, although he hadn't been too angry...
He looked at Eri waiting hopefully for an answer.

((older than you XDD <3))
"What kind of feather?" Eri asked. "Well...an angel feather," she answered, smiling.
Prisma nodded in agreement. "...." ^^
"As a matter of fact-" the girl continued, but she was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a musical chime. "Urr..." She blushed profusedly. "Oh-oh I'm so sorry." She reached into her pocket, and revealed a small gold, pocket watch, hanging from a chain. She quickly shut the thing off. "I had completely forgotten." She bowed, apologetically. "I was supposed to have been somewhere. I'm afraid I must leave. If you'll excuse me." She bowed, again, as Prisma followed close behind holding Mocha. "Thank you for everything. It was nice getting to meet with you."
