[i]'Don't you ever shut up?'[/i]

Ase stared blankly off the side of the roof, only half-listening to the constant musings of her blue-haired partner. Despite these assignments being rather dull and somewhat pointless, it was obvious that the small girl was taking everything very seriously. From the concentration in her eyes to the stiff silence from her mouth, every inch of Ase screamed determination. She scanned the earth below like a hawk, making sure not to get too close to the edge as a fall from this height would probably kill her. She glanced up slightly as Ixion began to ramble again, something about spotting a demon from up here, but it was quickly cut off when he slipped forward slightly, right over the roof. Ase instantly retracted from her side and turned to Ixion, reaching forward to grab his shirt in an attempt to save him from the fall, but the tall boy quickly stumbled back and saved himself. A soft, tired sigh escaped her lips and she quickly returned to her lookout spot before the boy could turn around.

Sounds of disappointment and hair-fixing slowly became white noise once again as Ase attempted to return to her concentrated state, but her mind had decided on wandering instead. She wondered, why would a school full of powerful teachers and staff need look out teams comprised of students? And what would be dumb enough to attack a school full of powerful teachers and staff (plus students)? The questions made her curious, but not enough so to wander away from work. Ase sighed and turned to examine her partner, taking note of his cute, if not dumb looks, skinny body,and colorful hair. She ha been paired with an idiot, why was that? She deserved someone who could at least match their strength with her brain, someone who could defend her easily as she went around her business healing and exorcising. This boy didn't seem to be someone like that.

"... Ah!"

The sudden gust of wind sent a cold shock through her body, and her white hair instantly curled behind her head in a flurry of swirls and whips. She shut her eyes, raising a hand slightly as to protect her face was any debris, and then her expression changed from content to terrified. The air was heavy with the scent of water suddenly, the smell of a storm. Once the wind vanished Ase opened her eyes and stared upwards at the sudden mass of dark clouds, panic rising in her throat. Ixion made a remark about the coming storm, and Ase slowly inched towards him, obviously trying to appear naturally despite feeling an uncontrollable urge to cling to the boy. Yet, despite the intense fear she currently felt, her mind couldn't help but wonder.

"I-It's strange, isn't it?" Her voice was soft and light yet filled with dread, eyes locked on the clouds over head as she slowly approached Ixion, "how can a storm this large appear so suddenly. It's strange, isn't it?" So strange. Suspiciously strange.
