Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sometime after the knock on the door it was pulled open, with a tall, muscular man standing there on the other side. He gave the one standing there a once over, seemingly sizing him up. It was nobody that he knew so that meant that he was likely one his mother's students. As though she needed another one to deal with when he had her 'problem student' with her today. Giving a half shrug he said to the stranger, "My mother is out in the yard if that is who you're looking for." He said, pointing over his shoulder with a thumb toward the door across the way that would lead Xewai to the backyard, "I would ask that you don't make a lot of noise when you go out, those two are practicing with that lightning magic and it's pretty likely to go awry if they get distracted."

Taking a step back he allowed him to go by if he wanted to, feeling that if he wanted to meet with his mother that he'd seek her out. He had other things to do then just tend to his mother's students after all.

Xewai would be left on his own to go seek out Azania if he wanted to do so. Outside he would find a pair of Matori, one of which would look familiar to him. Tera stood alongside a lovely, older Matorian woman with silver hair, the pair of them seemingly weaving bolts of lighting from their hands toward the clouds. It was a difficult spell as it was one of the more 'wild' elements, but they seemed to have it under control at the moment.

Jraie found himself starring at the treat that was handed over to him, a look of confusion on his face. After a moment he turned, watching the strange young man as he ran off, then shrugged, "Well that was something." He murmured to himself before he lifted the treat up, taking a bite out of it as he closed the front door and went back to what he'd been doing previously. He wasn't sure how well the treats would go over with one of those that was outside but he was sure that his mother would likely be a fan. It would work well as a way to get the training that the young man seemed to want. He'd leave it to the stranger and wish him luck.

Outside the pair continued on with their casting until the younger of the two let the spell go, leaning over to rest his hands on his knees, working on catching breath. The woman next to him gave a smile and said, "You're getting better with your casting, Su, you should really keep it up. I see you becoming quite adept with the magic at your disposal in no time."

Giving a little shrug Terasu pushed up right, lifting a hand to wipe sweat from his brow, then pushed back his hair, "Yeah, yeah... we will see I suppose. Still a huge pain that I can't use some of those stupid healing spells though." He complained. Power like that would be useful for those times when he woke up from nightmares with pounding headaches but no, that idiot got to have all the healing powers! How fair was that?!

As Xewai came out of seemingly no where, describing what they had been doing as 'so amazing' the pair turned to him. Terasu starred a minute, "Who... oh great... it's you." He muttered, rubbing a hand against his face with a grumbling sound, "I trust you haven't tried to catch yourself again since last time?"

Azania looked between the pair before she asked, "A friend of yours?" A question that got a noncommittal sound from Terasu before she looked at Xewai and said, "Good day, my name is Azania, and you are?"

Azania lifted an eyebrow, turning to glance toward her student, giving a bit of a chuckle, "Is that true, Su? Did you save this young man?" She asked, sounding somewhere between surprised and amused. She didn't quite think that it was this student, but she couldn't help but to want to tease him a bit. He really did need to learn to take it easier if you asked Azania but that just wasn't something that Su seemed to want to do.

Giving a huffing sound Terasu said, "I wasn't the one that saved you! You know full well that I don't have those sorts of powers! Besides, who would want to save some idiot that brought such a thing upon themselves!" He crossed his arms over his chest and looked away, his frustration rising as his teacher teased him about saving the fishing fool! If it was him in control that day instead of Tera he'd of just walked the other way and left him to deal with his own folly! Tera wasted good magic on a moron!

Giving a laugh Azania turned to look over at Xewai and said, "Well, I am glad that one of my students was able to help you out. Perhaps one day in the far future Su will be more willing to save someone other then Tera." She glanced at the gifts the young man held and gave a smile, "Pastries and tea, huh? That sounds nice. We should definitely see about brewing the tea, then we can all sit down, eat the pastries and talk." Glancing at her student she said, "That means you too, Su."

Seeing Terasu getting a bit twitchy Azania lifted a hand, wagging a finger in front of his eyes before she looked at Xewai and said, "Come, we will sit down and talk, and we will see about explaining a few things to you, young Xewai." She told him, leading the way inside before she said, "You needn't worry about brewing the tea. We can do it. It will allow Su to practice keeping a steady flame."

Something that made Terasu sigh before he nodded his head, "Fine..." Holding a steady flame, one that could brew tea, wasn't easy. In fact it was the opposite and for someone with Terasu's temperament it was made that much harder. He walked over to the table that was sitting just inside the door that lead inside, plopping down in one of the chairs.

Azania motioned to Xewai, "You sit too, I will fetch the tea pot." She said, then gave a pause, "Hm? Ah! You must mean my son, Jraie. I can ask him as I get the pot and the cups. No promises though." She knew that her son wasn't the best when it came to socializing groups, but she could always offer him tea and pastries as a way to win him over. Giving a little nod of her head to the pair she headed off toward the kitchen at a quick pace, not wanting to leave them alone for too long.

Terasu drew in a breath, holding it for a moment, then let it out between clenched teeth in a hissing sound before he finally slammed a hand down on the table, "Damn it, I am not that idiot! I didn't save you! I didn't do anything that would deserve any sorts of gifts so just knock it off!" He snapped, rising up onto his feet, "I am not your friend and you sure as hell aren't mine, you don't even know who I am, do you?!" He didn't like this, being forced to hear so much praise being sprinkled upon Tera who was such a coward in so many ways. He was the strong one but it was Tera that this idiot before him wanted to give all manner of presents to! It was enraging, making him want nothing more then to just turn on his heel and leave the room.

Giving a growing sound he said in a demanding manner, "What is my name? Do you even know it?" Of course he didn't, few people did, and it was only something that he'd gotten recently from that idiot Kyruie. Curse Kyruie, curse him for giving him a name that actually seemed to make Terasu want for more then just to keep Tera safe... it complicated everything!

"Relax and sit down, Su. You're yelling in a manner that let's everyone in the house hear you." Azania said as she walked back into the room, a tray in hand that had held the tea pot, a metal stand for it, and enough cups for three. Sitting the tray down she set up the stand, with the tea pot on top, then passed out the three cups, "Jraie says that he regrets it but will be sitting this one out since it's likely to be magical talk and that was never something he was interested in."

After sitting down she patted the table and said, "Sit down, Su, and see to the fire." Glancing at Xewai she said, "If you want to add the tea leaves to the pot before it gets too hot?" She asked this of him after Su had sat down again with a huff and set about summon up a flame under the tea pot, stuck concentrating on keeping it alight and small enough that it wouldn't cause any damage.

Azania gave a sighing sound, shaking her head, and said in a voice was that of a mother, "Xewai, child, you are not at fault here... and I suppose neither is Su. It's a very strange situation and one that took me time to really understand myself." She said, lifting a hand to open up the tea pot and took the leaves from Xewai, adding them into the pot himself, "Keep your flame steady, Su."

A comment that had him grumbling as he focused his power, feeding more energy into the flame, his eyes on it instead of on Xewai at the moment. He didn't want to look at him because, at the moment at least when he wasn't chattering senselessly like a bird, he was a bit pathetic like Tera. It kind of made him feel a little... guilty. Which he really didn't like.

Once the tea was brewing she settled down in her seat again, seemingly considering the pair for a moment, Azania asked of Xewai, "It's safe to assume that you met with Tera, yes? He was the one that healed your wounds and helped you from... well, whatever dire situation that you found yourself in?"

Azania looked at Su, who was ignoring Xewai best that he could even as the young man demanded answers from him. She gave another shake of her head before giving Xewai a smile, "Well... you were and weren't mistaken, Xewai. Terasu is Tera's other, another person entirely but they share the same body. It's the first time that I have run across such a chase but as you can tell they are very different people, different motivations, they even use different magic from one another." A comment that made Terasu's flame flare up for a moment before he got it under control once more.

"As for why he is as he is... well, he only knows how to be like this. He has a rough time when he was little." She said, giving Terasu a long, sympathetic look before she said, "Su, you really should apologize. I know you only care about Tera and Kyruie, but you need to consider giving others a chance as well if you mean to stick around."

Terasu's flame flared up again, his eyes going wide before he spat out, "I don't care about Kyruie!" He didn't damn it! Who would care about a moron like that? One that was off to get married soon to some woman that he didn't even want. Giving a hissing sound between his teeth he turned to glare at Xewai for a long moment before he turned away, waving a hand, then muttered in a grumbling manner, "Fine! I'm sorry."
