It had just been a minor demonstration, but clearly it was enough to impress Rail. She didn’t put her staff away and held onto it with a small laugh.
“Where I’m from, not everyone can use magic. In a way, you have to be born with the potential to learn. I’m one of them obviously. I didn’t know it though ‘til my Master took one look at me when I was a kid an’ asked me to be his student. I’ve been trainin’ ever since under his guidance.”
His excitement over her small display made her feel warm inside, her smile causing her cheeks to flourish with red now from how wide it had grown. Although, he was starting to get a little too close. Sure, Sora didn’t usually respect people’s personal space that often either and got real close to them, but when she was on the receiving end it felt so strange!
This thing she could do was normal where she came from? Even in his home country of Issium, magic was something that was spoken like a fairy tale. Sure, of course there were some that said they could do it, and rumors also flittered about, but with the amount of technology they had to run their kingdom, such a thing was barely thought of when they functioned so well.
But it was interesting; The very idea of it and perhaps mixing the two was quite the thought.
“That’s something!!” He spoke up, voice rather enthusiastic to go along with his rather surprised and interested look on his face. Rail wanted to see more of it actually– Now that left another phrase bubbling up his throat. “Hey– Can you take me to meet more people like you? I’m interested! I wanna see more!”
Whether this would end well for anyone else… That was something that would most likely end with the answer ‘no’, knowing his personality.
Niko does not like this city. The rampant technology makes the edges of her consciousness buzz, and the lack of colour does nothing to make her feel any more comfortable. Which is ridiculous, the whole banning colour rule. Someone had warned her in time for her to grab a long grey coat before anything bad happened, but. That didn’t stop her from thinking it was a silly rule.
Reflecting her unease, her wings ruffle beneath the coat. Niko tsks herself, hastily making an effort to both neutralize emotion and readjust the fabric. To make it look like it was some natural motion of cloth as opposed to any limbs growing where they wouldn’t on humans. Even if the wings are small right now, they’re still visible and the woman still doesn’t want anyone pointing them out.
And then someone taps her arm and Niko turns, grey eyes widening in surprise before her expression relaxes into a more neutral, pleasant smile. It’s just a kid. She’s good. No one should have seen anything odd, and she’s not very colourful (She might have forgotten an accessory or two, but… what can she do). He’s just a teen. Probably not any cause for worry, right? Of course not. ”Yes, hello? Is there something you wanted?”
The Order were used for various things. They had been, of course, created by Rail, so it was their first thought to tell him of anything they found within the city that was different and could of been of some interest to him. It had been on this day that one of his subordinates informed him of a strange person that could of given something interesting to look into, and thus the male had made his way into the city after giving up on his newest project to find out who it was that had been labeled as a target.
Those of The Order that hid in the shadows acted as his guide towards the location of that which they deemed worthy of his attention, and soon enough he spotted it– A woman. Emerald hues could only stare at her from within the crowd of people, seeming to merely blend in with the crowd of all similarly dark and sad colors.
But alas, those bright eyes of his were another story; they gleamed with mischief, more-so at the odd shifting of her shirt. (Now, was that normal? There wasn’t that much wind to do such a thing.) This brought forth a grin that could rival the Cheshire Cat’s as Rail neared closer, tapping the stranger on her shoulder to get her attention.
Now to put on a nice face–!!
“You don’t seem like your from here, miss!” he chirped. “Welcome to Regius City, the capital of this wonderful country!”
