"Now, I know what you might be thinking; 'WHy a bow when everyone has easy access to a good automatic gun?'" He stuttered a bit and sound a tad jumbled, but it certainly sounded like he'd said this to himself a lot. "We grew out of the need for bows long ago, guns are more efficient. Yes, yes, yes. But I would argue that, while guns certainly have bigger rounds and more simple mechanism to fire them off, the bow at times can be more convenient for someone in a tricky situation-" He started to ramble on to stuff like a light load, small and easy to hide, lightly mentioned that he just thought bows were cool. "-and with ammo, an arrow is certainly a more convenient thing to use. See, with your usual gun, you need specialized dust ammo if you want the good stuff to fire. I can do that, but are you always gonna have the big fancy tools for that in the field? No, no, no; but modifying arrows to hold raw dust at the tip is something you don't need any big fancy tools for. ANd did I mention I thought it looked cool?"

He put his back to the wall, as if she was trying to get a look at an embarrassing secret. "So, how about that Beacon View huh, it's a be..." He actually took in the view for the first time. "Beautiful. Yes, that's what I was saying"
"Damn, how'd I miss that?" Aeschel rasped his knuckle against his chin in an odd frustrated gesture "I didn't account for positioning..." THough his frustration melted, looking over the girl for the first time, before clasping his hands together. "You're kind of like a Knight! The cool ones you hear about in folklore. Not the historical accuracy, defending drunk noble sorts" A quirked eyebrow, 'hmm'ing thoughts. "Do you ride any sort of horse?" He seemed to take a passing offense at the joke, pouting. Though his tone was still happier. "Hey, my brain is plenty there. Takes up space, lotta storage. It's just... Very situational"

He coughed into his hand, clearing his throat and giving himself some air. "My original career path was gonna be dealing with complicated weapons and machines and all that, but... You can see. Huntsman. Yeah. Not that I don't love all that. I mean, if you know how everything fits together and works, you know how to use it efficiently. It's like how we use our bodies. we learn how the limbs and bones work together, so we know which ones to take advantage of" At the mention of his weapon, he instinctively reached to his back to pat the slim hilt that held the bade in it's folded form. "Oh, my weapon? It's uh..." Another awkward cough. "Abowandadouble-bladedsword"
"Hehe" Aeschel awkwardly laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. She did have a point. "In my defense, it's not exactly something easy to work with. Big, bushy and on a bad day the most destructive force to every be unleashed upon household items" He was a bit confused at her addition to the handshake, but he didn't really find it that odd. Seems like a gesture you'd find on the street. "Rough hands" He idly commented, though his tone suggested he found it intriguing as he gave a small smile. His thumb grazed over for a moment to feel the texture again. Maybe my engineering and weapon knowledge can make a better impression. "Strong hands. Good for a Huntress. Your weapon must carry a lot of weight. You move it quickly. Jabbing, maybe? Lunging weapon? Could be a spear-like one, something you throw... Harpoon?" He seemed to mostly to be muttering to himself, going on small tangents of less-than-accurate sounding assertions. "No, wait! Javelin!"
The giggle did manage to ease the tension a bit, at least it didn't sound like there was any malice to it at all, just a genuine giggle. "Just proves that the Janitors are damn good at their jobs" That was a... Decent response. "I was trying to escape the crowd, a bit suffocating in there" He gestured to the main room, adding some truth to his words. She looks to his tail, that seemed to be a far better subject for the moment. He could talk about his tail. That didn't set off anxieties. "Oh, this old thing?" He looked down to his tail, the pain of the fall still fresh in his mind. "Nah, I've put this tail through far worse. It's a miracle it hasn't gone crooked yet" As he spoke, his hand reached down to get a firm grip and twist the appendage, small cracks being heard as if he were a chiropractor snapping a loose bone back into place.

After a few moments, a small finer in his mind began to poke him relentlessly. There was something he needed to say. Something polite. SOmething that's normal to do when meeting a friendly stranger who you don't suspect will rob and/or stab you repeated;y. "Oh, AESCHEl. Aeschel. My name is Aeschel" Hand out, rigid and propper. "And it is nice to meet you"
If the 'A' names get to much, we can just put for A's together and call 'em the 'A-Team'.
The first thing Aeschel noted when opening his eyes was another and more golden pair staring down at him, which sent all hope of his loud thumping incident would remain unnoticed. His throat tightened, making a small gulping noise as his face fell nervous. "You gotta pay attention first" she had said with a teasing edge to her tone, which could have been bad or good depending on who Aeschel was talking to. A stranger? Well, that was the worst option, he could only panic at what he didn't know. The hands behind her back kind of made her look like she was judging him, okay, she totally was judging him. He was already judging himself. The cockroach hiding in the corner was probably judging him.

A helping hand coming into view was a good sign, making Aeschel feel a tad less self-conscious. But he still kept that embarrassed and nervous look on his face as he took her hand, pulling himself up to his feet with a nod. "Thanks!" He looked at the window again, trying to think up an excuse. Excuses always made everything look better, right? "I was paying perfect attention, it was just... Uh... The window was too... Clean?" It didn't help that there was a throbbing pain in his tail at the moment. A fluffy appendage can be good for softening a fall, but when that appendage is attached to you landing on it isn't the best thing you can do.

Aeschel Aspro






People usually had their own protocols for public transportation, or for any public location that left you surrounded, really. Some didn't damn well care about where they sat, how they sat or what the people around them were talking about. Some oozed confidence that just sitting down where ever they laid claim to just dared others to talk to them and some just wanted to be left alone with their thoughts, glaring whatever smiling or leering face that hoped to take their attention into submission. Aeschel was one who stumbled into the camp of staying alone, yet never too far. His approach was much like a battle plan. He didn't have the cold glare that could stare someone into submission, nor had the confidence to give off that 'I-care-not' attitude and appearance that makes others seek to avoid him.

Phase one - Scope out the terrain, look for advantageous positions: He noted all available exits in case of needing to book it, the doors were wide and responsive along with a few windows that if broken would lead onto the stable wing of the airship; if Aeschel ever thought he could brave the forces of nature with turbulence. A disadvantage, very packed more the most part in the main area, a lot of trees that could be used for cover, but would be very hard to navigate through without attracting the attention of others.

Phase Two - Possible strategies: Posters and screens were up, with bright lights and colors dragging eyes to meet them head-on. In case of confrontation, might it be effective to point to either factor as a distraction? His eavesdropping bore no fruit, everyone had lives that didn't express ways to avid them. He spotted a small puddle protected by a 'Warning: Wet Floor' sign, a possible obstruction if he inadvertently pissed another classmate off.

Classmate? Huh. The word cut through his thought process, prompting his eyes to shift over the gossiping crowd, every student standing out with bizarre clothes, hair and weapons. These would be his classmates, his peirs, all the people who could fight as well or even better than him. Some of them might be his future team. One of them might be his partner. And being an anti-social coward would only make him a burden on a team, should he really be squishing himself in the corner of the room hoping to make himself look as small as possible?

When the announcment came that they were almost at their destination, Aeschel got to his feet, taking a deep breath before rushing through the crowd and out the door. Maybe he'd find a conclusion to his question if he got into more open space. Soon, he found himself crashing into the display glass due to not looking while he thought, finding his body slamming into the ground on his back while his head throbbed. "Ow, ow, ow, ow. Why ca't aura be automatic?" He grumbled insults towards himself for his screw up.
