Ren was out for a stroll early today as he wanted to do a few requests later on. There was nothing stopping him from taking an evening walk however as he gazed at the river with his pale blue eyes he knew that doing so wouldn't help him too much. Taking in a deep breath he took in the natural smells of the river and nearby forest. Ever since coming to Fiore Ren had become somewhat homesick. He knew this himself right away, so to remedy the situation he enjoyed taking nice long walks in any rustic parts of an area. Luckily for him Orchidia had a gorgeous vegetative scenery where he could clam himself. Ren wondered if there would be anyone else out on a walk as he began to fiddle with the Rune Knight pendant around his neck.

The elf ultimately decided on going to the river. She always enjoyed being out in nature, and on a day like today, it was best to enjoy while it lasted. She would start by walking towards the river. Upon arrival though, she saw another person there. An odd sense of déjà vu washed over Kerii, and then it occurred to her that a similar situation happened about two years ago. She was going to the river for the same purpose, and found yet another person out for a stroll. Only this time, the man had long navy hair with two-toned eyes, a scar over the lighter one. The elf would nonchalantly stroll over towards him. "You know, I always seem to run into others here, in the middle of winter, no less." Had it been any other season, Kerii would hardly give passerby another thought, but like many northern towns, Orchidia was known for having bitter cold winters. Not many decided to take walks just for fun, but there they were.

"Oh? I have to admit that sounds rather odd, since like you said it is Winter and rather early too." He said concurring on the second part of her sentence. Ren was not sure what to say next since he was not expecting to meet anyone out on his stroll. Although since he was more relaxed about being in nature he didn't mind too much. "What brings you out here so early? Something illegal maybe?" *He asked letting go of the relic around his neck. Kerii would see his Rune Knight symbol which would make sense considering his question. Admittedly Ren had not been a Knight long enough to know how to subtly bring something like that up so he just spat it out hoping it would work out.

He asked Kerii what brought her to the river, and then asked if it was something illegal. "What? No, I-" The elf was confused at first why he would ask such a question, but then when she saw the Rune Knight emblem on his necklace, she stopped mid-sentence. Kerii smiled and said, "Oh, you're a Rune Knight! I'm from Lamia Scale," she explained. "But, what brings someone from the Magic Council over to Orchidia?" As far as she knew, nothing bad was going on. Gods, she hoped nothing was wrong. That would be odd, considering none of the guild members heard anything about some sort of disturbance, aside from the usual requests. But she was getting ahead of herself. He was probably just sent here for something unrelated.

Now it seemed as though the Lamia Scale member wanted to know why he was there. "That information is classified until I am told otherwise." He said as if he had to practice it a few times. "But if you want to know why I'm here by the river I could tell you if you would like." He said as if it was something he practiced also. In truth Ren was told to bluntly stop any questions about the magic council directed at him then to switch things quickly by offering up another topic of conversation. Ren had to be told a lot of different topics to cover since he wasn't a great conversationalist, so as he asked his question he began to think of a few more topics to change to so the woman wouldn't ask about the magic council again.

When the Wood Elf asked why the man was in Orchidia to begin with, he replied saying that the information was classified, which made sense, considering he worked for the Magic Council. But, he would gladly tell her why he was at the river in particular if she so wished. "Go ahead," the mage said, crossing her arms. Assuming that this wasn't "classified information," that likely mean that he was off-duty. She wondered if he was there for similar reasons as the man she met before.

So with Kerii's permission Ren would explain why he came to the River. "Well basically I came here on a nature walk of sorts. I really enjoy nature and I was feeling somewhat nervous about the classified information, so before I went and started it I thought I would calm myself by coming out here." He explained rather systematically. "You probably feel the same, being an elf and all." Ren then said. He had already noticed her pointed ears and her incredibly beautiful features indicating that she was an elf. "Unless I'm mistaken. In which case I am sorry." He said, although this time not bowing as he was fairly confident in his assumption.

Still, it seemed that the Lamia scale member wasn't too easy to mislead and asked of his mission once more. Although he smirked as she asked it. It was very vague, so vague in fact that he could aswer it. "No, I see no reason for it to involve Lamia Scale or any other guild for that matter so there is no need to concern yourself." He replied rubbing his left eye. "Is there anything else you'd like to talk to me about?" He asked beginning to enjoy the conversation between the two.
Mon Dec 31, 2018 11:15 pm
"Well, I think I'd like to know a little more about you... starting with your name, perhaps?" she asked, realizing that even after their dialogue, she still had no name to put to his face. Kerii hoped that didn't come across as strange, but the Rune Knight was the one who seemed to want to continue their conversation, after all. It would be odd if they did so not even knowing who each other were.

Ren proceeded to ask Kerii if she wanted to know anything else. "Yeah, sure," she shrugged. He then went on to talk about how he wasn't born in Fiore, but Joya. His mom, however, was Fiorian, which prompted him to come to this country in the first place. He wanted to know the same for Kerii, where she was born. "Well I was born in Fiore, but not Orchidia. I'm actually from Crocus." It was quite strange for a Wood Elf to be from the capital, rather than a place such as Athalran, but her father worked in Crocus, so her family resided there. Moving on from origins though, she wanted to know a little more about Ren. "Being a Rune Knight, are you a mage as well?" she asked, knowing that she had run into some Rune Knights before on requests who didn't seem to possess any magic, but then met some others who were able to cast a variety of rather powerful spells.

The Lamia Scale Mage then went on to listen to The Rune Knight about where he was from and then she told him the same. "Oh that's rare." Ren let slip. He decided not to apologise for it since she had asked him not to, but also because it could have been seen as a compliment. People did usually like to be thought of as special or rare.
Kerii then asked what if Ren was a mage, being in the Rune Knights she would presume that he was. "Correct, I use a basic Wind magic. And yourself?" He asked figuring he knew the answer already. Elves were known to only have a few set magics but prehaps Kerii was indeed unique and had a rare magic.
Wed Jan 02, 2019 12:50 pm
When Kerii tried to ease Ren's worries about apologizing, he replied in a rather surprisingly adamant way. In his mind, he couldn't be less formal, for that would go against the word of his family. Unless they explicitly told him to be more casual, he felt as if he had to continue to demonstrate his dignified mannerisms. Kerii was about to impulsively spurt out a rather blunt reply, but she held her tongue. Her instinct was telling her to react, stating that he didn't have to follow whatever his family says word for word, but another part of her knew better. All she did was arch an eyebrow, simply showing that she didn't expect that sort of answer.
What Kerii wasn't too surprised about, however, was Ren stating that he utilized wind magic. He seemed to want to know the same for her. "A basic nature magic," she replied. Though it wasn't the full truth, it was close enough. As a little demonstration, the elf waved her hand a white lily began to sprout from the ground. "I'm not that good with it yet though," she confessed, a light sigh escaping the Lamia's mouth. "I can really only do a couple healing spells."

As the conversation turned to magic Kerii explained that she used a basic nature magic. Although Ren couldn't quite tell she was not telling the whole truth, he could tell that as she spoke about it something was not quite as consistent as was with the rest of her speaking. She later explained that she could only do some healing spells at the moment and that she wasn't too good at her magic. The Rune Knight found this hard to believe since Elves were famous for the skills with magic, especially nature magic.
"Even using healing spells can be very helpful. Many mages the world over rely on those skills."
He said, an uncertain feeling gnawing at the back of his mind. This elf was very strange.
"I myself have not tried to truly train m magic yet so I don't know my limits."
Admitted the dark haired boy, not too sure himself why he did so.
"One day maybe the two of us could train our magic together? To try and get more out of it?"
He suggested, as if making an excuse for himself to go out and find the Elf again.
Fri Jan 04, 2019 12:13 pm
Not only was the elf currently weaker in the field of magic, but so was Ren. Actually, he had yet to really train with it, so he didn't even know how powerful he was. He then asked Kerii if she was able to train with him, so they could both expand the limits of their magics. The blonde mage smiled. "Yeah, sure! That sounds great, though I'm going to be leaving Orchidia soon. I don't know exactly when I'll be back, but hopefully we'll run into each other then... which actually reminds me. I should get packing. Hope to see you later." The elf waved goodbye as she left the Rune Knight to go to her dorm. He was a strange fellow, but she liked him. Needless to say, she was looking forward to their potential training session.

Beaming at her acceptance to train, Kerii continued to explain that she would not be spending too much longer in Orchidia and was not sure when she was going back.
"That's fine. I'm not stationed here so I am sure we will meet travelling at some point." Ren said confidently. "Although that could mean we'd miss each other quite a bit. Well no matter, if we are destined to meet again it will be so." He said again with a nod. Kerii then excused herself saying that she had to be on her way. Ren waved back at her as she walked away. Ren turned on his heel and made his own way back into town. His nerves on the mission were all but gone, however he was beginning to feel them once more as he approached the church...
