With her head resting in the grass on the outskirts of Magnolia town, Charlotte found herself staring up at the same constellations she’d been with her entire life despite where in the country she had lived. Her chest felt heavy with the weight of a curled-up gryphon snuggled on top of her. Gwen was far less impressed with the shimmering night sky but it did appreciate that night meant there was no hot summer sun beating down on them. The cool summer breeze was much appreciated by both the duo, far more used to the cooler temperatures of mountain life.

Revy drops down on her butt next to Kaito and she smiles looking up at the starts and she wonders who this woman is as she seemed newer to the area at large. She raises her hand and she traces some stars with a magic pen she has that is fainter in color so it isn't distracting.

“Settle down Gwen.” Charlotte cooed gently, pulling her eyes away from the stranger momentarily as she gently stroked the gryphon’s feathers in an attempt to calm her down. Returning her gaze to the figure before them she’d finally answer their question.
“Indeed it is.” Her body stiffened a little as she became wary of the stranger, who under closer inspection seemed a little familiar. She couldn’t quite put her finger on why at first, but it was hard to make out details in the dark, even on a cloudless night like this one. Her mind raced as she tried to determine if they were friend or foe. Whilst Gwendolyn had quietened down, her feathers and fur were still on end, also clearly still on edge around the stranger.

Revy looks at Kaito he was his usual if he has space cool and calm self but it seemed that he had lightened up a bit at least for the night, she wonders if it was just the stars in the sky or if he was just taking a night to catch his breath from the rough patches that he had been suffering through lately from him not taking actual breaks and just rushing off into another thing that took his time and energy she swore he didn't sleep sometimes.

“Oh, it’s an honour to meet someone as prestigious as yourself.” Charlotte bowed her head slightly as she found herself a little nervous in front of someone of such calibre. He hadn’t merely earnt a name for himself for nothing, he was rumoured to be one of the strongest mages in the whole of Fiore, perhaps even the world. “I’m Charlotte, and this here is Gwendolyn.” She ruffled the gryphon’s feathers as it continued to eye Kaito up with suspicion. The creature clearly not as impressed as the young woman.
“And Revy was it?” She turned to the exceed, “It’s a pleasure to meet an adorable creature such as yourself too. The two of you are more than welcome to join us, after all, I suppose with are guildmates now.” She chuckled nervously.
Mon Sep 12, 2022 10:48 pm
Kaito raises his hand and he looks over to her is red and purple eyes seeming to slightly glow in the nights light. "No need to be nervous, I am just a person just like you no matter how strong I am. No need to call me prestigious. Plus the honor is mine it is nice to meet a new member it has been awhile since I have met one, though that is really my own fault being gone for long periods of time." He laughs nervously and rubs the back of his head and then he rolls back on to his back and looks back at the stars. "Also sorry for upsetting your friend there they might sense my curse as well." He wasn't sure if that was the case or not but he wanted to just get it out in the air though it should be a known thing just in case of it coming to that being questioned of him.
Revy picks up the snacks which are on the ground next to Kaito in their bags. "You want any snacks?" She figured it was only right to offer the woman and her companion some snacks as they were there and she knows that pretty much everyone that tries them likes them.
Mon Sep 12, 2022 11:35 pm
“You leave often?” She asked, despite already knowing the answer. No doubt he was often called all over the country for his assistance. After all very few mages were capable of teleporting to their desired location on a whim. “A shame, it would have been nice to get to know you on a more personal level.” She muttered more to herself as her gaze drifted back to the stars above.
She spoke no lies, she preferred to judge someone from what she herself learnt and witnessed rather than rumours and mutterings of the public eye, after all, stories were often exaggerated. Although truth be told, her reasons for wishing to grow closer to such a powerful mage were far more selfish than she would ever let on.
Gwendolyn in the meantime had been sniffing the air, the smell of the snacks slowly getting the better of the gryphon as she tentatively approached Revy. She cautiously stepped closer, one foot at a time, ready to dash back behind Charlotte for safety should there be any sudden movements.

Kaito looks to the woman and he decides it is just better to ask what she meant by getting to know him better. "Yeah I travel around the country a lot. What do you mean get to know me more personally?" He wonders what there was really to know about him that hadn't been spread around the country in some shape or form and he looked back to the stars watching them as he listened for what the woman might ask of him to answer for her so she could feel a little better about him being around them and not be on edge if she was cause he needed to make a good first impression with the new guild member that he had just met, for as much as he could tell she was nice enough and they did show him to a nice star gazing spot. It seemed true if you get to focused on the bad things you forget to stop and look at the beautiful things around you that life shows you every day.

“Do you come out to watch the stars often?” She’d ask curiously, “Gwen and I often do.” She added. Meanwhile, the aforementioned gryphon was closing the last couple inches between itself and Revy as it suddenly lurched its neck forwards to gently peck the snack out of the Feline’s paws, never for a second taking its eyes off of the exceed. As it guzzled it down it purred merrily and wiggled a little before looking for more. Quickly becoming less anxious around Revy given the quality of the food offered.
Tue Sep 13, 2022 1:43 am
Revy is screaming with happiness on the inside but is staying calm on the out side so not to scare the poor thing and she wondered how and where this woman got this companion at.
"I don't usually stop to smell the flowers sadly I keep pushing myself to feel better and do better but I really don't believe I deserve the fame I have." He sighs a bit as he knows what he said was true and that he keeps himself busy so he doesn't think about it or the fact that one day he could probably just disappear which was worrying cause he was unsure if it would be the end of him cause no one would remember him to be able to save him.

“Whether you feel you are deserving or not, the people certainly feel you are. You must have done more than enough to earn it. After all, word of your deeds even managed to reach the little no-named mountain village I’ve been residing in these past years. There are not many that have managed such a feat. I think one of the young girls in the town even had a poster of you.” Charlotte chuckled to herself as she recalled the eager young mage that idolised a number of famous mages.
Gwendolyn began insistently nudging Revy’s paws for more snacks with its beak, almost as if it was demanding more food as it chittered, its beady eyeballs glistening greedily. No matter how much Revy may feed her, the gryphon would continue to plead for more.
Tue Sep 13, 2022 7:56 am
Revy keeps feeding the creature until Kaito spoke to her. "Be careful how much you give the poor thing or it will get sick." Revy looked at it and she says she is sorry that she got carried away.
Tue Sep 13, 2022 5:37 pm
“Well, I couldn’t live in a small village forever.” She chuckled confidently, “And I just figured joining a guild was the best course of action to help with my financial situation. Although I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss my old home.” She added with a saddened sigh as she stretched a hand out, finger pointed towards the sky, as she traced out one of the many constellations she had been taught.
Gwendolyn raised its hackles and squawked at Kaito interfering with the feeding process. Clearly irritated that it had been forced to stop wolfing down food. With one final miffed chirp, it snuggled up close to Revy, refusing to even look in the dragon slayer's general direction.
Tue Sep 13, 2022 6:38 pm
Revy sits and she gently pets the creature and Revy giggles a little at how this animal had giving Kaito guff about being told not to feed it too much she wondered if the woman had total spoiled it or if maybe Kaito's cooking skills had gained a fan that just wanted to devour it and not stop eating till it is no long able to move or even really try.
Kaito figures there will be nothing really to worry about at the moment he just needed to stop and just relax here while he has the time to enjoy it as it was a rare time to just rest and enjoy the breeze he closes his eyes as the wind gently brushed across his face and made his hair gently flow as well.
Tue Sep 13, 2022 6:52 pm
Nuzzling into Revy, Gwendolyn purred contently. Its stomach was quite full and the cool night air, made it feel much more comfortable than any hot sun ever would. Noting that her beloved companion had quietened down, Charlotte would glance over, stifling a laugh over just how quickly the exceed had managed to win the gryphon over. Forever food orientated.
"It's not often she grows so close so quickly to someone, Revy." The young woman pointed out, "To feel relaxed enough to even close her eyes, she must really like you." she added with a genuine smile. It was good that Gwen enjoyed the feline's company, considering they shared a guild, they would most likely see each other often enough.
Tue Sep 13, 2022 7:14 pm
Revy listened to the woman speak to her about how well she must have been with them to trust her so well already. "Wait really so I must have done well than." She looked to Kaito whose eyes were still closed enjoying the the feeling of the out doors in the night with the cool breeze. He nods to her as he could feel her eyes were on him.
Tue Sep 13, 2022 7:40 pm
“It was a quaint lifestyle, for sure.” She added, closing her eyes as she thought fondly over all the memories she’d made over the last few years, “What about your home?” She asked, turning her head to look at him.
'He seems relaxed.' She thought to herself, 'And far more handsome without the mask.'
She blushed as she realised what she was thinking, suddenly thankful for both the dim lighting and that he had his eyes closed so he would not notice her flustered expression. Gwendolyn in the meantime had remained cuddled up to Revy, still content to simply snooze next to her.
Tue Sep 13, 2022 7:52 pm
He also remembered something that leaved in these woods he had felt one day on a mission for the church, he had never seen the humanoid glowing gold figure again since that day but the forest was still alive with sounds unlike that day so long ago. "Anything else you would like to speak about or ask me about?" He looked over to her and he smiled his eyes once again glowing in the moon light.
Tue Sep 13, 2022 9:02 pm
“Yes, but they can wait for the next time.” The tamer remarked with a long yawn, figuring this would not be the last time she’d meet him. Given their circumstances, they would no doubt see each other regularly enough. Similar to the man beside her, Charlotte’s eyelids had also grown heavy. It had been a tiring day of running around delivering baked goods all around town. The exhaustion that had built up was finally taking its toll. Giving in to her body’s demands she closed her eyes, letting her fatigue win as she drifted off to sleep on the grass-covered ground, under the star-filled sky.
