[h2] Talia Nitro [/h2] He shook her hand with a surprising firmness to it, which somewhat caught her off guard. He must be a serious person, stern and uptight. Getting along with him might be a problem, but Talia would do her best. After all, how bad could it be living with this young, yet tall, gentleman? The ceremony was quicker than she thought it would be, ever since she had heard about it she imagined some big-wig ceremony and decorations and music and lights and dancing and a whole hoopla of theatrics, but no, it was cut and dry. She put her hand out timidly as they poured the water, it being somewhat cool. She winced a bit as the seal formed, it having a tingling sort of sensation. 'This is new' she thought. As soon as it was over she looked up at Leo. [color=ed1c24]"And with this, we are Mage and Familiar," he announced innocuously, "I look forward to our time together." [/color] She replied a bit timidly and eagerly with a hint of unsteadiness to her voice, "Y-Yeah... It's gonna be fun." She smiled slightly and tilted her head a tad. 'He means well, that's a good starter. He is kind of stone cold though, no emoti-' this thought was quickly cut off as they were soon ushered off the stage and to the volunteers who helped with some of their bags. Talia remained relatively silent and just tagged behind her newfound bonded partner, lost in thought. He started talking to her again as they were walking and she quickly tuned back in. [color=ed1c24] "So Talia, tell me a little bit about yourself," started Leo. "Hobbies? Habits? Easily exploitable fears that I can take advantage of to establish dominance? Personally I like to read in my spare time."[/color] This caught her off guard for but a second. 'Oh and so it begins' she thought with a sly grin. "Well Mister de Coeur" she said with a jovial tone, "I am indeed very interested in video games, I like to play them if i have the free time. I'm also not a half-bad swimmer, I like to spend time with friends also....let's see... Easily exploitable fears..? hmm that's a tough one let me think. I do have a slight case of Autophobia, so that may help," she sort of giggled after that little segment, although it was serious she was just trying to lighten the mood. [@TheHangedMan]
