"You're not going to dress up for your date?"

"It's not-- " Atani sighed and shook her head before redoing her braids. "You know what? Never mind."

She didn't have time for this. She glanced over at her clock. It was nearly 5:45 in the evening. Though it would take her no time at all to make it to the Cathedral, she hardly saw the point in waiting any longer if all she had to do was dawdle. Besides, there was no harm in showing up a few minutes early; it would simply leave her with more time to find a comfortable spot and gather her thoughts.

Given it wasn't a holy day, the Kardia Cathedral was quite empty. Of all the pews for her to sit, she chose one in the back right corner. For the elf who worshiped her culture's own pantheon, the Illumin church wouldn't have been her first choice for a meeting, not to mention how the place echoed if you spoke too loud-- but she supposed Abel had his reasons. Busying herself with admiring the architecture of the place, she waited for him to arrive.

To tell the truth Abel did not at all plan to spend much time in the Cathedral, rather he often used it for an easy place to meet up with people. It stuck out more than perhaps any other building in Magnolia. He would also admit that it wasn't too bad to look at. He dressed himself in something a little less casual than the gym clothes he had been wearing before, but still not so much that he would be looking like someone he was not. Abel wished himself luck as he entered the Cathedral doors, knowing that their partnership - and perhaps some extras - could be solidified this evening.

The two of them were practically all alone in the place at the moment, making it easy for Abel to quickly spot Atani's dazzlingly golden hair. He made his way quietly to sit beside her, leaning back and crossing one of his legs as he looked up at the large centerpiece near the middle of the cathedral. The evening light shine in through the upper windows giving a heavenly atmosphere to the building. "Good to see you're on time." He said with a smile, though his eyes were off taking a look at her outfit without being subtle. He found that he preferred the one from earlier. He imagined that everyone else in that gym - or 50% of it, anyways - would agree.

"So before we get started..." he shifted himself as he spoke, turning his body towards her and putting one arm on the back end of their seats. They were rather close here and Abel hoped he could see Atani getting all flustered again. "You said last time that only I was testing you here - did you manage to think of anything you could test me on before I start running the show on this evening?"

The church was quite beautiful. It was rare the elf ever stepped inside of one, even one as famous as the Kardia Cathedral. If she ever did visit it was often for a job, rendering its appearance rather clinical. Her perspective was detached from anything of art and beauty then. But here and now? It was different... a good different.

Atani hadn't been waiting long before Abel arrived. Quietly, he slid into the pew and sat beside her. She took notice of the way he took up space-- crossing his leg and stretching out an arm-- hardly reacting, however, save for a subtle shift in position as she turned her body to face him as well.

She found it curious he mentioned 'running the show.' She had been under the impression this not-a-date would simply be her evaluating him, but it appeared Abel had other plans in mind. Atani made a note to get to that later. Though for now, she would just address his question.

"No," she simply answered. She crossed her legs at the ankles and raked a hand through her hair. "Because really, I'm not one for 'tests.' I'd rather start someplace simpler: just getting to know a potential partner."

Abel might have felt the need to test for compatibility or chemistry, but Atani? She believed that would all come natural once they got to know one another, and they would have their answers without needing to do any silly exercises.

"So, tell me about yourself. Why decide on being a Rune Knight?"

"Well..." Abel's eyes shifted slightly at how she worded it, as though he was presented with a buzzkill. "I suppose that's a little bit less fun, but fair." While it was clear Atani was not stuck up by any means she seemingly did not have the same chaotic energy Abel had - perhaps that was for the better though. Weird ideas were often best balanced by those who had normal ideas. He laughed a little at her question of his. "Tell you about myself? Hah, this is seeming more and more like a typical date every minute." He had hoped at least that would get a rise out of her, perhaps even earning the "it's a business date!" answer that he was trying to bait out of the girl.

Still though, his fixation on Atani aside, this was a subject that he was rather passionate about. He had told the story to quite a few people now, each time a little different. Abel's face became a bit more serious, his voice dropping from its usual excitable tone. "My parents were a couple of criminals, you see. I mean that literally - both of them swindlers, goin' around from inn to tavern trying to make everyone believe in some story. Sometimes sympathetic, sometimes heroic. Whatever they felt could get people to waste their money on. Sometimes schemes went way bigger than that.
" Abel leaned forward and rested his arms onto his knees, both feet now on the ground. He stared up at the holy symbol in the center of the building. "Couldn't abide by that. Had an argument with them about how they were ruining some people's lives. It ended with me running off, searching for a way to make up for what my parents did. So, I joined the Rune Knights. Not 'cause I care about the law or anything, just because I wanna do the right thing. Have the power to do the right thing. Even if I often disagree with my superiors about it..." He let out a sigh, as though he was exhaling years of stress. He decided to leave out the details about his next encounter with his parents - he would tell Atani that later, hopefully in a more private setting. Assuming this went as he planned.

He turned to face her once again, trying to switch back to his earlier casual position. "So what's the next question?" Abel's tone was back to how it was normally now. "Maybe something a little more exciting. Go on!"

"I told you~" Yuan teased, having heard Abel speak.

"It's not a date!" she quickly asserted, addressing both her peer and her goddess soul. Quietly clearing her throat, she continued. "But go on."

Listening to Abel's tale, she wasn't sure what she expected of his, but she was surprised to hear he came from a criminal background-- or at least his parents did. Swindlers, he called them. As far as criminals went, they were far from the worst breed out there, but she understood where he was coming from.

Atani, admittedly, still could not remember much of her own past, but she knew she had a sour relationship with her parents, and she knew it was the spur for the start of her journey so many years ago. Though of course, that was just her start as a mage. As a healer. Her becoming a Rune Knight... well, there wasn't much of a story to be told. It was less of a choice and more of an outcome.

"I... understand the sentiment," she sighed, referring to the last statement Abel had said. "I wasn't always a Rune Knight. I had always belonged to guilds before. The way they do things here, it's different, and I'm not sure I always agree either."

Scratch that. She frequently disagreed. And that's why she preferred being a solo operative. Being assigned a partner, she thought, would throw a wrench in things, but if she was assigned someone of a similar mindset to herself... ? Hmm. Alright, next question:

"Are you a mage?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. She didn't know if that qualified as 'exciting' to Abel, but for Atani, she found learning of others' capabilities fascinating. As such, she was more than happy to put forward her own abilities first. "I, for one, use healing magic."

"I do happen to be a mage, yes." Abel replied with a smile, glad to see how forward she was about her magic - it meant that she had some sort of passion for it. An admirable quality in its own right and it certainly made her a little more earnest and cute in his eyes. "Mine isn't much good for healing, but..." He outstretched one finger and small bit of string weaved together, appearing as tightly bound forms of mana. Abel swayed his hand for a moment, adding a few other fingers to make a whole layer, then flicked his hand a couple of seconds later to dispel them. "String magic certainly has its uses. But what about your's? You say it can heal, but how, exactly?" He put his arm back in place, extending it just a little. The fact that he would eventually try to put his arm behind her on the bench was becoming more and more imminent. "Were I a more cheesy man I'd make some comments about you being an angel - but I doubt an angel would be less strict about the law like we are. So? How exactly do you channel it?"
