[b]She looks down at one of her hands, stretching out the fingers as blue lines dance across the tips before fading away. She looks back up at the new night time companion and blushes slightly.[/b]
[i]"U-Uh... W-Well... We call o-ourselves Elune."[/i]
[b]She didn't usually talk about her appearance or her past... But he didn't know... Besides, she wanted to be courteous.[/b]

[u][b]W-Well... I'm a Sph-Sphirinian... One o-of three o-on this planet... What was th-that thing you d-did with your hand? I c-can do something s-similar...[/b][/u] *He takes a marble out of his pocket and holds his hand out, the marble resting on the pad in the middle of his hand. His eyes glow blue and a blue energy seems to come from his hand and surround the marble. He finds the bravery to sit next to her, the marble staying in place in the air as a trail of blue energy leads from his hand to the marble.* [u][b]See?[/b][/u] *He smiles at her a little.*
-
[i]"I can't q-quite do that."[/i] [b]She looked down at her hands once more, the lines returning, taking on various shapes and patterns before vanishing once again.[/b] [i]"Just s-something everyone has..."[/i] [b]By everyone, she meant everyone in her select race... Taking about them in third person was bizarre.[/b]
-
[u][b]Well, I-I'm the only o-one who can do th-this... I like to c-carry things t-to mess with when I-I get bored...[/b][/u] *The marble floats over to her silently, stopping about a foot above her hand.* [u][b]Here... T-Take it.[/b][/u]
-
[b]She clasped it gently in her hand, scanning it over with her bright orange eyes.[/b] [i]"T-Thank you."[/i] [b]She said simply, her quiet voice trailing off the lines slithered around the marble before disappearing.[/b]
-
[u][b]You're welcome![/b][/u] *He was silent for a couple minutes before he spoke back up again.* [u][b]Your eyes... They're, um... B-Beautiful...[/b][/u] *He seemed more uncomfortable and nervous, waiting for her reply with a mixture of both eagerness and fear.*

-
*He hears her thank him but sees her change in body language and assumes that somehow he might have insulted her.* [u][b]Oh, n-no... Did I s-say s-something bad?[/b][/u] *His ears droop down a little as he looks her up and down with his catlike brown eyes.*
-
[i]"N-No...! I'm just... N-Not very good w-with compliments."[/i] [b]She hesitated for a moment before returning her eyes to his gaze, her cheeks still somewhat red.[/b]
-
[u][b]O-Okay... Then w-was your r-reaction good? Sorry, I-I'm not good w-with body language.[/b][/u] *He smiles at her for a second before looking back down.*
-
[i]"I was just nervous..."[/i] [b]She replied, her voice beginning to turn more steady as she rested. The cold and exhaustion eventually fading away to be replaced by her usual gentle and kind disposition.[/b]

Edited by Skatch142: 10/4/2016 11:56:18 PM[u][b]O-Okay... Well, d-don't worry... I'm probably t-twice as n-nervous...[/b][/u] *He looks back up at her, grinning happily without realizing.* [u][b]So... W-What's your name? S-Sorry I should h-have asked e-earlier...[/b][/u]
-
[i]"Chloephina... Chloe for short."[/i] [b]She replied, giving him a meek smile, something that was filled with warmth despite her current state.[/b]
-
*He repeats it a couple of times under his breath as if trying to familiarize himself with the sounds.* [u][b]Th-That's a beautiful name... I-I'm Vorim'Tairn...[/b][/u]
-
[i]"I'll call you Vorim..."[/i] [b]She remarked, knowing she'd forget otherwise. She had a simple mind after all.[/b] [i]"It's very nice to meet you..."[/i] [b]She bowed her head in respect, a sign of equality and peace.[/b]
-
*Vorim bowed back, grinning the whole time.* "So... W-What brings you here?" *Oddly, he seems to start stuttering less and starts seeming more comfortable with her.*
-
[i]"Traveling... Avoiding the past... Maybe even looking for some adventure."[/i] [b]She shrugged slightly, her shoulders rolling slightly as her dress scatters with dozens of brightly glowing lines... The hooded attire almost seemed connected with her.[/b] [i]"It's a long story... How about you? You seem to know your way around here."[/i] [b]She looked at him, her eyes large pulls of autumn colors that seemed to gaze at him endlessly, like never ending blazes.[/b]
-
*He seems entranced by her eyes. She notices his lip quiver a little bit before he shakes his head, managing to break her spell on him.* "My b-brother came here first... It was an accident for him and he wandered around for two years before finding the Dojo... Then my cousin c-came. It was an accident for her too. Our parents discovered how to make a slip drive which can transport you between dimensions. Their ship came here and left without her. I came to the Dojo a few months ago. I came on purpose though because st-stuff got kind of crazy back where I lived... This may be an odd thing to ask you so quickly, but, would you like to come live in the Dojo too?"
-
[i]"The Dojo?"[/i] [b]She questioned, looking around carefully before surmising that she had managed to find such a place.[/b] [i]"What happens there...?"[/i]
-
"People go there to train and fight mostly, but it can be a home for anyone and everyone... Even my brother, cousin and I can live there, and we're all horrifying animal people..." *His ears droop down when he says that last part and he looks a little sad.*
-
[i]"I don't see many animals... Or people... So I think you are interesting. And interesting people are the best."[/i] [b]She wasn't lying. Years kept away in the royal citadels of her home had made her so naive of the real world... Even animals a foreign concept.[/b] [i]"Besides... All I see are humans... So I won't fit in either."[/i]
-
"Oh, well thank you..." *He smiles at her, his ears pricking back up.* "I think you'd fit in fine... I like you and you're very pretty." *Vorim is startled by the random boost of confidence but didn't show it.*
-
[b]Chloe didn't ever quite pick up on his emotions, but perhaps it was for the best. Her own gentle aura and soothing mood made it easy to slip away into peaceful thoughts. Like a monk, or maybe some enthralling tale. She just had such a wonderful effect...[/b] [i]"Well... Thank you... You are very kind."[/i] [b]She wasn't one for words however, we struggle to communicate with larger sentences a fault of her old home life... But she wouldn't say... She was just a quiet person by default.[/b]
-
[u][b]Well, there are quite a few stairs on the way up there and you look very tired... Would you like me to carry you up?[/b][/u] *He asked, his head tilted a little and eagerly awaiting her reply.*

Edited by Chesh I Guess: 10/5/2016 4:39:32 AM[i]"N-No! That won't be necessary... I'll head up shortly... I just need more rest..."[/i] [b]She sighed briefly and slowly moved her hand to his, taking it carefully and exposing his pads and palm. There, slowly, like brilliant magic, a small blue follower suddenly bloomed from nothingness.[/b] [i]"There... A water rose... That means I promised..."[/i]
-
*He looks between her and the flower.* [u][b]A... A water rose?[/b][/u]
