[/color] She echoed when he spoke, the named seemed to definitely fit him. She did hear him begin to say something else however he seemed to stop himself, why she didn't know. Almost as if he was in a rush Nello excused himself and went on his merry way. While she was certainly confused as to why he had left so suddenly she wasn't going to pry, it was rude to get into other people's business! Eira turned her icy eyes to the girl just in time to hear her name Eira turned her icy eyes to the girl just in time to hear her name [color=ADD8E6] "Arieen, that is such a lovely name!" [/color] She exclaimed with a smile, waving a slim hand in return. When Arieen offered to escort her to class , the same one she was actually on her way to herself, she couldn't help but hopping off the chair in a rush of excitement. She had never walked to class with someone before, oh so many new things were happening today! [color=ADD8E6] "I actually have offensive magic as well, so I would love to walk to class with you." [/color] She tried not to act too excited, in all honestly her heart was filled with happiness but she didn't want to scare anyone off by being too obnoxious - at least not yet. [color=ADD8E6] "Perhaps you can give me some pointers, aren't Fae really good with magic?" [/color] She asked with a small head tilt. Because Eira didn't do good with confrontation and battle magic she had a hard time completely using her abilities - she could definitely do some strong burst damage but because she didn't really want to hurt anyone actually applying that burst was hard. She didn't want to do something wrong and kill someone. [hr] Arieen watched Nello and Nocturne leave, a look of disappointment crossing her face before vanishing just as quickly. She turned back to Eira, her admirer. How nice it felt to have someone fawn over her. She would definitely have to keep the girl around, if only to act as a sort of confidence booster. Or, perhaps, their acquaintanceship would blossom into something more friendly! This fair-skinned goddess of a woman would make the perfect partner, in combat and in court. [color=lightsalmon]"Why thank you! Eira is enchanting as well."[/color] It was only fair to return to compliment in kind. Hooking an arm, Arieen waited for Eira to take it so she could lead the girl to offensive magic. The class itself wasn't too dull, but she'd much rather skip attending it at all and listen to this girl flatter not only herself, but her race as well! [color=lightsalmon]"It's true, most fae are capable when it comes to magic. There are some that are lacking, but I'm not one of them. If you ever need help with your magic, I'm around."[/color] She tittered, her smile only growing. Her wings were such a vibrant orange at this point that it looked like the result of turning one's saturation all the way up in Photoshop. A sudden pop alerted her, and Arieen pulled her Nexus out of her pocket. Smiling, she peered at the notification. [color=lightsalmon]"It appears as though I've received a mission! Would you like to attend it with me?'[/color] [hr] A splash of red colored Eira's cheeks as she was complimented on her name, her heart fluttering with happiness. It was almost too much for her to handle, speaking and making friends with someone. She couldn't believe that she wasn't acting a total fool either, usually she tripped over what to say or how to act and came off as weird or even rude. Though right now she seemed to find the words. With a little laugh Eira hooked her arm through Arieen's, offering the pretty fae a kind and gentle smile, [color=ADD8E6]"I might have to take you up on that, while my magic is better suited to Offensive magic it seems I can't always get a handle on it. Chessire keeps telling me I don't put enough heart into my magic - but then again he's kind of crazy"[/color] She joked, her eyes continuously being drawn to the brightness of her wings. They certainly were wonderful, like a permanent mood ring. As the pair chatted on the way to their class Arieen pulled out her Nexus and then asked Eira if she wanted to go on a mission with her. The girl's eyes lit up at the question, this was the first time she had ever been asked voluntarily to go on a mission with someone! Trying to not sound too happy Eira nodded her head, grabbing Arieen's hands in a move of excitement and happiness. [color=ADD8E6] "Of course! I'll try my best to not be a burden!"[/color] It was something she was always worried about when going on a mission, she constantly thought about what would happen if she weren't strong enough to protect someone, especially someone she thought was a friend. [hr] Arieen giggled, waving off Eira's last statement. [color=lightsalmon]"I don't believe you'll be a burden to me in the slightest, Eira. Now, let's go grab our gear and head off. It's just a few goblins, according to the Nexus. Nothing we should be afraid of."[/color] Leading her away from the classrooms and toward the armory, Arieen pressed 'accept mission' on her Nexus. [color=lightsalmon]"What is it you use for battle, anyways?"[/color] [hr] Eira walked alongside Arieen, a happy little per in her step would have been quite noticeable. When asked what she used for a weapon she shook her head, [color=ADD8E6] "I actually don't fight with a weapon, or I haven't tried to at least. I know very little actual combat so I fight primarily with my magic, though I do use a pendent that lets my control my magic better. It's also easier to do magic when I'm not all human-looking - but it's just easier to use a medium."[/color] She explained, looking to the Fairy girl. [color=ADD8E6] "What about you? You seem like the kind of person who has all sorts of things up their sleeve."[/color] [hr] Arieen felt her dumbfounded joy calming into something more neutral. She couldn't be all happy right before a battle, after all. Who knew what it would do to her constructs and illusions? As they stepped into the armory, Arieen took in the heady smells of weapon polish. It was comforting to her, her wings becoming a light shade of powder blue. [color=lightblue]"Well, friend, I prefer to use a bow in combat. I fight with range on my side."[/color] She smiled, dropping Eira's arm just long enough to take her favored bow off the wall. It shifted into a bracelet, cuffing around her arm with a click. She took a quiver of arrows as well, and it became a backpack that nestled between her wings. [color=lightblue]"Now, why don't we go to the portal room while you tell me all about this 'not human-looking' form of yours?"[/color] [/center]
