"Handsome?"
Tecka had continued to scroll through the poetry he had written, but in his mind rather than aloud. A few words had entered through his left ear
"Strong." He knew this bared truth. But he hadn't expected for it to be noticed so soon.
"Handsome." Upon hearing this word though, he wasn't sure what to feel. The young man hadn't actually cared for looks, of others let alone his own, but rest assured if anything he wanted to appear strong, and not just the look. He wanted to be strong too.
"I suppose...my art can be a bit complex, that's all." Replied the young man. To be honest, speaking with someone openly for more than a minute was rare. He brought his head up from the notebook and looked towards the woman to try and identify her, his eyes looking like he'd given a in depth overall analysis of her appearance, never truly focusing on one thing until he had seen it. On the right of her exposed cleavage he noticed part of a symbol he'd vaguely recognized. In Tecka's mind he began to form a single thought, perhaps it was more than fate, her reason for approaching the young man.
He turned around to look behind him, and sure enough he had a bad case of plumber's crack. his pants for as baggy as they were revealing all types of indecent in this public place, his guild tattoo mostly but still only partially exposed. At that exact moment, the woman introduced herself as Miss Elcia Blackheart, a member of Phantom Lord. Inside his mind, the black haired young man had a glimpse of what could be described as a smile. This was an experience of camaraderie, one he'd expected to receive from being in a guild, and this guild in particular came with a variety of people. You would truly never know who you'd meet.
"You're also from Phantom Lord?" The young man asked rhetorically in a low voice. He followed by introducing himself.
"My name is Tecka Majora, I haven't seen you around the guild hall, though admittedly I haven't been there very long, so that would explain itself. What brings your here?" As a member of the same guild, it was natural that he'd want to know more of those he be working with. Before he could get an answer, the pair was approached by a kid from just in front of them, in fact he'd been there for a while but only now had he begun to make his presence known. The boy spoke in a general sense though the comment had seemed more directed towards Tecka's earlier outbursts.
"Well I heard-you said you were looking for some conflict so I-I thought I'd come over and challenge you to a fight.""Hmm?" The black haired foreigner mumbled to himself, before standing up to speak.
"Sorry kid, there is no possible way I could fight y-" Tecka's normally obscure sense of moral values was intact partway through his sentence, until then, when he had seen it. Upon standing up, he had noticed he was only a tiny bit taller than the kid. He wouldn't have blamed Elcia, nor the boy for making fun of his short stature but it wasn't all bad. At least from a distance if people were to see the snow white haired boy and the black haired young man in an altercation, it would probably look like two kids fighting, and it wasn't like Tecka hadn't wanted to fight. If anything he had provoked it, and some divine god of war was granting him divine favor.
"Some things can't be helped. I like your strength kid. What's your name!?" He said calling out to the boy of similar height, the disappointing difference though, if the boy had been as young as he appeared, he would probably still have much growing to do. The mere thought of it caused short person rage. He used it to fuel Tecka's desire for battle, thought that didn't stem from being short. His desire for battle stemmed from his strength.
Tecka ensured that his pants were pulled up before clenching his fist tightly and throwing up his guard. His specialty back in his home country besides selling secrets, was street brawling and unknown to anyone else-in a world full of mages he would win fights with his bare fists. Now that he had magic, it was sure to be a one sided slaughter.
"Prepare yourself, Boy!"
