Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dark wings dark words, if the saying was true then dark words awaited as the archmage stepped through the doors of the grand library. He immediately strode to the back heading right over to the restricted section of the library and drawing out a very old dusty tomb from within. Returning he sat down at a table and opened the pages. They were blank? A strange occurrence considering the mans eyes were moving across the pages as if words were there. A spell perhaps? Something to keep prying eyes from seeing? One couldn't be sure, but regardless Surtr must have been reading something important as he didn't bother looking about or saying hello to the staff whatever those pages contained (if anything) was imperative to the thoughts currently running through the mages head.

As Surtr delved into the blank pages before him his light suddenly dimmed. Letting out a grumble he looked up to see who else? Kami.... Was she following him? More importantly why was she up there and directly above him blocking his light? With a sigh he flicked his left index finger which would gently push the young mage a few meters to her right so that his light was no longer obscured. After a soft smile he nodded his head and those lavender eyes returned to the task at hand judiciously pouring over the blank parchments.

Surtr continued to read his book while she was reading hers. The information inside was more pressing then their little quarrel. She seemed to not retaliate rather uncharacteristic, though he supposed perhaps she was just preoccupied with the pages before him. Surtr couldn't really blame her he too was focused on the parchment. So long as she wasn't interfering with his studies he would not interfere with hers.

As the book landed upon his head the Archmage did not flinch or move what so ever. Seeing the shadow above him grow he could tell exactly what was going on. She wished to play dirty? Fine two could play that little game. Surtr merely continued to read his empty pages a devious smirk upon his lips growing. The corner of her skirt would begin to smoke. Not immediately catching fire Surtr giving the girls a few moments of warning to cease her little behavior before it happened but if she was enjoying her move too much she'd likely miss it and that skirt would catch fire. The archmage warned her the first day they met about playing with fire and it seemed now he was reminding her of that.

He could smell the smoke and chuckled softly to himself as suddenly water poured down atop him. It hit his feathers and threatened to drip on his books before suddenly the drops stopped. They slipped from his plumage pooling above Surtr a rather impressive display of his power being able to pull water from hair and feathers without damaging them. Before Kami would be able to react the water would whip up onto kami soaking her whole front from her thighs up to her neck. "Why so wet?" He said not even bothering to look up at her. If memory served he had said something similar to her in that past. Knowing she had a bit of a dirty mind Surtr surmised she would get the context well enough. Their antics were getting louder and mages weren't supposed to float in the grand library anyway. If Kami continued she'd likely get her or even worse the duo kicked out.

Her words brought a smirk to his lips. It seemed despite being upset with him she couldn't uphold such a thing for so long. Though that smirk soon faded. She was flirting again just before, which meant she would eventually try to be his everything again. Surtr couldn't have that. He couldn't let more pain come to her. He wouldn't actually. He refused to allow her to experience such anguish. He finished his book and closed it before turning his attention to Kami.

"Let me be clear, I don't intend for you to experience such pain again.." He whispered his lavender eyes piercing into her very being as he spoke. "My heart may be back in its proper place but it will not be given to anyone anytime soon. So while we may continue this playful back and forth I am your superior and indirectly your teacher...... Nothing more." He said before picking up the book and walking back to its shelf to put the book away. The walk was rather long plenty time for Kami to get up and leave should she so choose. Surtr pulled out another and began his walk back, he had done it. He had made sure to keep her at arms length so that history could not repeat itself.

Surtr walked into the bar determined to get a drink to rid himself of what he he had to do earlier in the day. Upon opening and closing the door Surtr sat at the first open seat ordering a glass of mead. As it came he glanced about before taking a sip but suddenly froze in place. "What the s**t...." He mused sighing before setting the cup down and running his hand through his hair. How the hell could his luck be any worse? He looked to her and could see the tears on her face. Would going to her make it worse?

He sighed before he thought something may make her feel better. Suddenly a little flaming man would walk down the bar and lean against her shot glass looking at her. The difference this time was that the petite man made of fire was black. This was Surtrs best shot and he knew it could just as willingly blow backward on him and blow up in his face.
