Welcome to Gaia! ::

The amount of startle in his form must have shown, for the way Cryolite tensed briefly as the blindingly bright aura of *Knight* and *Order* veered into his path. Normally he would've run, however? The superhero landing caught his attention, three points, a source that deemed he offer his applause up nearly out of habit --

Albite had drilled some sense for these things into him, some things? No matter who they came from on which side, were simply 'cool', and deserved a little bit of pomp and circumstance; even if it was only to diffuse a situation in which he was readily outmatched, outgunned, and overpowered.

Of course, as she opened her mouth -- all pink glitz and butterfly glammed gear -- Cryolite wondered if he had anything to diffuse at all, or no, maybe he had quite a bit to diffuse and neither were simply aware because one had not yet been made to be known by the other?

All things were possible, always....

"Nectaris, is it?" coy and cool and chilled as he sized her up like he had the upper hand -- on height and height alone -- not that he felt much taller the way her prowess towered over his in spades. All the ways he wished for an upgrade he hadn't made any true moves to yet earn. Such a shame---

"I'm not quite so inclined to share my name just yet, but maybe?" the words tease and curiosity all in one, cryolite put a finger before his lips, a shushing sort of motion, before nodding to the rooftop of the library he hadn't quite been trying to break into; at least not from the front door! No, that would've been too obvious, but it was always smart to make note of night guards, or security, or librarians who'd snuck in late and long after many hours. Cryolite eyed marble pillars and lions tamed into brickwork by force. All the old historical architecture that he envied the feel of inside and out.

He nodded her to the rooftop -- and made a move -- first stories and no higher and even that was a test of feat and strength for just a basic like himself. Once he had a ledge up on the ledge the first thing he did was go to the large and grandiose arched sunning windows, the ways they dropped light straight down and through -- the ways their little locks came easily undone if he simply froze them off.....

Sometimes having icy powers came in handy.

"Maybe we'll talk inside---" dropped over his shoulder, and he wasn't checking for an attack, or her anger, or her charming smile, so much as he was flipping a latch and shoving ever so carefully a creaky window pane free for him to slip down through. It was a miracle in itself that it didn't' shatter beneath the sublimation that coated every inch of his skin.

Ah, all the good of magic at his fingertips~ A true wonder.

"You don't mind, right, talking inside?"

In short order, of course, her ring lit up with a response or three.

Wait. Wait.

Cryolite?

Nectaris blinked, and then she just stared, like that meme with the woman looking at all the triangles, because a lot of pieces were falling into place. Cryo, that meant ice, like whatever magic was coming off of him in layers of sparkling, freezing mist.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, tall, cool-headed, yeah. He ticked all of the boxes that Fulgurite had laid out for her. He was even kinda dreamily pretty, and as that thought crossed Nikki's mind, she realized that she'd been staring straight at him while she processed all of this, and so she quickly bounced onto her toes and looked at something off to the side very pointedly for a second to break the awkwardness, to reset, a hint of pink coming to her cheeks.

When she looked back at him, she was grinning.

"You're Fulgurite's boyfriend!"

Her eyes were sparkling now, her voice way to loud for a library, even one that was after hours with nobody around to shush her. "Ugh, I've been wanting to meet you so bad, you don't even know. Fulg's been being all secretive, though, wanted to be careful or whatever. But, it's okay, we can talk like this, and we can be careful here. I mean, we're inside. That's gotta count for something."

Nobody was ambushing them just yet, which was also a good sign.

There wasn't much of a way to hide the hologram popping up from her ring, so she didn't, just typed a message back to her brother while she continued to chat.

"He always smiles so much when he talks about you, though. It got me so curious, y'know? You must be pretty awesome. Which, like, so far you seem chill. And he didn't even mention the part where you have sparkle magic."

Anyone was worth meeting if they had sparkle magic.
