As Kerii walked, she noticed that the wind started to pick up. She looked up at the sky and saw that storm clouds were starting to roll in. That was great. Just perfect. The day she decides to take a day off of questing was the day that it was going to rain. As she was looking up at the sky, she evidently ran into someone by accident. "I'm sorry!" she quickly said, snapping her head back down and looking at the person she ran into.

Are you okay?"
Thu Jun 29, 2017 10:47 am
"I'm sorry, but I just don't think you sounded that genuine. Is it because I'm an elf?" She didn't say it in a defensive tone. She was just asking a question, and was actually asking it in an almost timid voice, as if she was almost afraid that he would say "yes."

I'm just not always the most conversational person. Hoping that settled her, he turned up to see if the rain was here yet. To his delight tiny warm droplets hit is glasses. Soon the streets would be empty and he could walk freely, not cramped by people. Quickly turning back to the girl, he decided he might as well rewrite his past opinions, "Sorry if I offended you i wasn't trying to be an awful person or anything. I was just enjoying the moment, and you kind of abruptly ended it, sorry for the attitude." By now the rain had picked up enough to actually get someone wet. Akai wondered if this would deter the elfen stranger. But to make the best of it he hopped up and held out his hand, "Hi, i'm Akai." As the awkward space of waiting for a hand shake got longer, the rain grew rampant, pouring down the sides of windows and onto the streets. Most anyone would be inside by now, the rain was like a Dark wind making people scurry for cover and hiding from whatever the mysterious thing was. He stared up at the rain for another awkward moment, and raised his hand to swipe his glasses clear of the rain.

The man apologized once again for the miscommunication and said that he was just trying to enjoy the moment when she mistakenly ended it. Almost right as he finished it, the rain started to pick up and began to get Kerii and everyone else in Magnolia wet. A lot of people started scurrying for cover, but the silver haired man didn't seem to care. Instead, he stuck out his hand and introduced himself as Akai. Kerii shook his hand and said, "I'm Kerii." After looking at him for a few more moments and connecting the name "Akai" to his face, she could have sworn she saw him from somewhere. "Do I know you from somewhere?" She was sure that she's seen that guy before, but she couldn't quite place her finger on it. She travelled a lot so it was entirely possible that she saw him because of that, but that didn't make sense why the name "Akai" rang a small bell in her head.

Forgetting Kerii was there for a moment Akai looked up and spread his arms wide, smiling a tiny bit, letting the rain hit his face. Turning back to Kerii he awaited a response about her life, and if they were some how in the same guild, which would be a surprise sense he had never seen her. Hoping she wasn't one of those alcoholics that hung out at the bar and smelled like his dead beat dad all the time.
Thu Jun 29, 2017 12:46 pm
After Kerii briefly explained her reasoning behind Akai probably not noticing her around the guild hall, he oddly spread his arms out and smiled. Was he... happily soaking in the rain? "Um... do you want to get out of the rain?" Kerii asked, realizing that they were literally the only ones out on the streets without umbrellas. Plus, they were getting drenched.

When She asked to get out of the rain, Akai was a little disappointed, " I guess so?
I have no problem with rain, but i know a bridge we can sit under? If you're more of an indoors person finding a place is up to you. The outdoors are my kind of place." Returning to the dark sky, he let the rain run down his face it finally started running down his back, so Akai had to quickly remove his little razor and place it in his pocket. Hoping to avoid questions about his odd strain of magic, he didn't say anything, but if he was forced too, he was prepared for it, he'd done it before. Now he silently waited for Kerii to make up her mid on where they wanted to go?

When Kerii asked if they could get out of the rain, Akai looked surprisingly disappointed. Did he really like the rain that much? Akai told her that he had no problem with the rain, but proposed to sit under a bridge rather than go inside to get dry. He said that if she was an indoors person, then it was fine. She could pick out a place to go, but Akai said that he was more of an outdoorsy type. "We can go under the bridge," Kerii said. She loved the outdoors too. She loved basically anything that had to do with nature. She did like the rain. She liked the way it sounded. It was perpetually calming and was just something she had come to enjoy. Whenever there was a thunder storm, she was never afraid of it. She actually got excited about them. However, Kerii did not like the feeling of wet clothes on herself.
After Kerii told Akai that going under a bridge was fine, she would go on to say, "Almost all elves like being outside." Kerii was sure that there was one elf somewhere who didn't like nature, but that would be especially odd since the elven culture was so focused around it.

whats your magic?" Akai was certainly interested in magic, some times they acted like remedies, drawing power from things, like his bad memories. Akai's mind was debating what kind of magic she would have, her physical figure could have tricked people into thinking she uses offensive magic but, elves are more nature-y so she could be a healer. Akai waited patiently for his long awaited answer.

When Akai and Kerii reached the bridge, they went under it and were sheltered from the rain. They both sat down and, for a reason unknown to Kerii, Akai sighed. Right after though, he proceeded to ask Kerii about her magic. "Oh, it's called Celestial Sky magic," the pink haired elf began. "It's a healing magic. Well, actually it's overall a supportive magic, but the main aspect of it is healing. It's kind of a weird magic to be honest. I'm not even sure how my ancestors got it to work, but they did it. What about your magic?" Kerii did always wonder how her ancestors were able to harness the power of celestial bodies and infuse it with their mana to create spells. However they managed to do it though, they taught it in a way that made it easier no doubt. When Kerii was taught how to use her magic though, nobody explained the logic behind it. They just taught her how to use it. Maybe nobody alive knew exactly how or why it worked.

Mentally sighing that he'd gotten the awkward part of the situation out of the way, he decided tying a bit of Lamia Scale in there wouldn't be a bad idea. " An old wizard taught it too
me, actually my mother begged him too, it kind of acts as a way to keep the memories from my u-uh experience at bay. But the old wizard offered to take me to Lamia Scale, unfortunately he died not to long after getting back to Orchidia." He had decided to leave the part about the human sacrifice and maniacal mother out of the conversation. Kerii could learn that part of the story if they ever became good friends. Peering up at Kerii, he waited to see her reaction to his magic, in his entire life, only one person ran away. Maybe she'd be fascinated, no clue, he just had to wait and see.
Sat Jul 01, 2017 7:53 am
Akai continued to explain that the magic was taught to him by an old wizard who unfortunately died shortly after Akai joined Lamia Scale. Kerii didn't know when Akai joined the guild, but she couldn't remember seeing any old wizard. Steering away from the subject of bad memories and cutting oneself, Kerii asked, "When did you join Lamia Scale? I joined about two years ago."

"I joined about three years ago.The old wizard died about a month after that." He didn't particularly remember the old man, probably because Akai was still drifting in and out of sleep thanks to the memories still hammering in his brain. He just remembered the old man being really kind and taking care of him for most of his life, he was just overall a really nice guy, it was a shame Akai never learned his name. Looking out from under teh bridge for a moment, he realizaed that the rain was still pouring, and would probably be for a really long time, this was a pretty big storm. deciding it was time to do something for a moment he picked up a loose stone, and threw it into the water, watching the ripples soothed him.
Kerii was really nice to, she wasn't mean or condescending, she was also an introvert too. " So why did you join Lamia Scale?"
Sun Jul 02, 2017 6:08 am
Akai asked Kerii why she joined Lamia Scale. "Well, I always knew that I wanted to join a guild ever since I learned how to use my magic. I almost went to Fairy Tail, but Lamia Scale just felt right to me. Don't get me wrong, Fairy Tail is great and all. From what I could see, they're a very close knit guild, but Lamia Scale... they just... ugh, I can't even put it in words." Lamia Scale was definitely the right choice for a number of reasons. Although the guild members could get rowdy, she couldn't help but smile whenever she was around them. They took pride in strength and endurance, which were two qualities important for a healer. Kerii needed to be able to defend herself (hence the strength) and also needed to be able to take a good number of hits so that she could keep supporting her comrades. And then, there was just this feeling she got from Lamia Scale that she couldn't describe. She got it every time she thought about the guild but it never happened when she thought about any other. It was hard to explain, but if her instincts were telling her that Lamia Scale was the right guild, then she would join it.

THE END
Mon Jul 03, 2017 6:37 pm
Akai ended the two mages' short meeting. The rain had stopped and the clouds had cleared and departed. Akai said that since that was the case, he could head out and take some quests to go earn money. He apologized for dashing out, but ended their conversation by saying that hopefully they could quest together sometime. Kerii smiled at him. "Yeah, sure!" she said. She wasn't sure if she would run into Akai while she was doing any quests or not, but if she did, she would he more than happy to quest with him. When Akai left, so did Kerii, but not to go quest. She was going to enjoy the rest of her day off.
