"Well, to start things off, Reno and I aren't exactly from here. We hail from a different realm known as the Realm of Mirrors, or the Mirror Realm. It is not simply a world one travels to, as it cannot be traveled to by niether Gummi Ship, Glider, or even Corridor of Darkness. No, it is a different realm that exists in a different place, with no knowledge of it that I know of even being present in these different worlds". Oner gave Thomas a moment, a small look up at him before he continued his explanation. After all, it was going to get a little...complicated.
"The beings of this realm rarely ever address themselves as what they are like Humans often do so, but when they do they call themselves the Denizens of the Mirror. The younger ones are called Mirror Children until they reach adulthood. We are niether beings with split personalities or two souls, it is much different then that. Me and Reno art two wholes that are also two halves of a single existence, essentially two existences that make up a single one. A more accurate explanation would be that I am a reflection of Reno and Reno is a reflection of me, as even though we are the same person, we are also different people in our own right. Two people that share a single existence. Dost thou have any questions so far?"
Thomas's brow furrowed as he took in the explanation. Alright, so he was from some alternate realm that existed alongside this one yet pretty much separate, that one could only reach with the consent and assistance of the people there. That made sense. And explained how he was so good at magic, if their development was different. He gave Oner a nod of understanding, then let him go on. So the tricky bit. He and reno were apparently two existences combined into one, with one generally manifesting at a time. And they had different personalities. He could work this out.
"Okay. So, it's like sending a beam of light through a prism, and how it branches out into a bunch of separate colors. You two are separate, yet make up the same unified whole. And you are also mirror opposites of each other. Guess it helps where you came from ,since I'm not sure us regular humans are cut out for two different people inhabiting one persons body, even if they would be linked as intricately as you two are." His lips pursed as he thought, then his eyes lit up with a question. "Alright then, so I take it that Serin isn't your actual father then? And why did it take so long for you to show up, and only in brief flashes in the beginning?"
Oner gave a nod, a small smile appearing on his face. "Yes, that is quite a pleasent and accurate explanation. But to answer your first question about appearance our body does not simply change appearance. We each have a different body that is also a single body. In a sense, we have two bodies that are one, these bodies looking almost exactly alike, yet being different in key areas. My hair is black while Reno's is pale white, the colors of our eyes is swapped, and the Spirit Veins" he gestured to the circle on his forehead and the lines going down from the circle, "are white on me and pure black on Reno. My body is also a bit physically stronger than Reno's and not as frail while Reno possesses more magical strength than I do".
Then Oner proceeded to answer Thomas' other questions now. "No, he is not. Serin told Reno this around the time Reno first began practicing magic. Our father found us in an alleyway with only a letter and the stone holding Bahamhut clutched in our grasp. And as for why it took me a long time to show up...well, that is quite a long story actually, one that begins with our very birth". Oner stopped for a moment, noticing a shop selling sea salt ice cream nearby. "How about we grab a quick bite, and while we enjoy our food I can share with you this story?"
That was some interesting information indeed, that Thomas stored away in the back of his mind. It was something to consider if this dual people in one body thing was one of the reasons why Reno had seemed so strong, because he had the mana to draw on from two people. though he was probably missing something in that thought process, so he just wouldn't bring it up. The body situation was interesting in turn though, and the best he got to understanding was that he transformed when shifting, since something like having the unused body in a pocket realm or something when it wasn't being used sounded dumb.
He looked over at the shop, drawn by Oner's gaze, and contemplated the qestion before nodding, though he wasn't overly hungry at the moment. "Sure." Walking over, he decided not to go with ice cream, but instead got himself a soft pretzel and sat down to eat it, savoring the salt with the bread and cinnamon butter flavoring layered on. He absentmindedly ate while listening to Oner continue his story.
Oner chose a slushie, sitting down on the bench next to Thomas as he took a sip of the beverage before continuing his story. "Well, Mirror Children are born, and conceived, in the same way that humans are. They are a bit different when born though. They are not able to control which self is present at the current time due to their existence still being fragile and undeveloped, so often they will change every so often. Once they reach about our age, give or take a few years, this is no longer a problem and they are able to switch freely as they please. This is what normal Mirror Children go through".
Oner paused to take a sip of the frozen beverage, letting out a small exhale as he did quite enjoy the slushies that Reno made, so he was quite fond of these frozen beverages. "There are some though whose existences that are either a bit too balanced or unbalanced. And without a balance of chaos and balance, there is no harmony. In a sense, the child's selves have less indviduality and are not complete halves of one another. The selves often switch back and forth many times a day and may experience onsets of Oblivion at times as well due to this slightly unharmonious existence. With love and support though this problem is usually overcome".
Oner sighed a little, scratching the back of his head as he lowered it a little. "Reno and I...were incredibly different from the norm". His voice sounded a bit somber there, the Mirror Child pausing to take another sip of his drink from its straw before going on. "You see, when Reno and I were born you could say there was no Reno. There was no me either. Our existence was so balanced, so still, and so blank that we had no individual self. We were two selves that were just copies of one another. Not reflections, not two halves. We were essentially just one large half and, for a more proper term, a hollow, empty existence. One that would not last long, an existence that would probably experience Oblivion within the day it had been born..."
Oner stopped there, giving Thomas another moment to see if the older mage had any questions.

Oner was about to answer Jake's question, telling the veteran Keyblader that he was way off the mark. Unfortunately he seemed to get a headache from trying to come up with a logical answer and gave up, proceeding to talk to Thomas before going over to Rose, carrying Ascot off soon after that. From there yet another Nobody showed up. Oner looked at Xayama and Xahsouj as they both spoke, the elfin eared warrior wondering if these two were connected to Joshua and Amaya. Were they their Nobodies? They certainly did appear to look pretty similar, but Oner couldn't be certain. Still though, despite their rude tone they didn't appear to be hostile, which meant that there would be no fighting for now.
Oner gave a sigh of relief as he walked over to a bench and sat down upon it, letting out a small exhale as he soon closed his eyes, appearing to 'rest' for a better term. Despite the fact that his eyes were clearly closed though he still looked to be quite aware of what was going on, but still appeared to be resting as well, as if he was in some kind of trance. Perhaps this was connected to what Oner said about him and Reno being an existence that isn't human. After just a couple of minutes of this as the others had their conversations, Oner opened his eyes and let out a small exhale before standing up and heading off in the direction that Jake and Ascot went.
"Good. Thank you," Thomas replied with a grin of his own to Belle. It was good that at least someone minded, though he could hardly blame the rest for being distracted after that explosion that had brought him here in the first place. As she went off to go talk to Amaya's mother, he pocketed the Sign once again, patting the pouch before looking around, noticing that Jake had left with Ascot for the hospital, and most everyone was engaged in some activity or other, leaving him the lone man out. He considered the possibility of taking a detour to go practice and buff up his magical abilities, which would certainly be worth while since they had the time.
It was in that musing that his eyes alighted on the changed Reno (Or Oner,or whatever he was supposed to call the apparently dual being standing over there), and he frowned as a twinge of consternation shot through him. He'd said he wasn't exactly human, and from appearance that was all too obvious. It did explain some things that had been previously bothering him, but it also raised more questions in turn. And there was only one person he could get answers from. Bolstered by Belle's statement that he may be able to stand holding a conversation with Oner more than he would have with Reno, Thomas moved after him, falling into step with the Mage, something worth noting even if it was for the simple reason of conservation of Mana for when he might actually need it.
Thomas glanced over at Oner before speaking. "So, you're not human then. I don't suppose you're an elf or something like that," he asked, a reference to the pointy ears and what appeared to be body tattoos, something he'd read about during his tutelage. He didn't want to leap to the conclusion that he was a Heartless or something, and if he had been then he would have been getting something from his dark wound, so he was willing to play the game and actually listen. and it didn't hurt that his other self was intrigued and supportive of this as well.
"First I am a werewolf, now I am an elf? You and Jake sure have some interesting assumptions". Oner gave a small chuckle, simply shaking his head. "While thine assumption isn't bad Thomas, I must inform thee that you are also incorrect". The first thing Thomas would probably notice was that Oner actually used people's real names, and not nick names. While the old fashioned speech was probably a bit strange, it wasn't too out of the ordinary compared to how Reno acted. "I do owe everyone an explanation though, after all with the blackouts and mine running off to a different world put everyone through alot of unnecessary trouble and worry".
Before he began though Oner brought something else up. "Before I do though, I must ask that you forgive Reno for always calling you Tomato. He does not mean any form of disrespect to you, or anyone else he calls by a different name. It is simply the way he is. He actually thinks very highly of you and thinks you are an excellent mage, and quite frankly, so do I". Oner's voice was calm, quite, and mature for a boy his age. Of course his voice still carried that same boyish quality, but was filled with much more wisdom and maturity than Reno's more happy go, child-like way of speaking. His words were also sincere, no sign of any form of lie or sugarcoating in his words.
"I do hope that you can forgive him and that he hasn't offended you".
Thomas shrugged when Oner shot down his guess, though he cocked an eyebrow at the...interesting speech patterns involved. It would take some getting used to, but he supposed he could get used to it with a bit of time. For now though, it was just strange. "Well, it was just a guess, based off what I know of them. Pointed ears, natutrally adept at magic, that sort of thing. It's more likely than werewolves are." He chuckled a bit before continuing. "As for running off, I wasn't too worried. I was fairly certain you could handle any trouble that did show up."
He was taken somewhat aback by the apology he received, a bit of insight into the other personality presented to him, and it made sense, though how much it actually changed was still left to be determined. Being offended was a different matter, but he decided to return this conversation to the original subject, and not have it shift to more uncomfortable areas. "It's fine," he replied dismissively, a wave of his hand to punctuate the point. "I'm just glad I'm the patient type most of the time."
He thought for a second. "Actually, that's another question I was going to ask. So your appearance will change back when Reno is in control again, right? I'm just wondering since it might be a tad difficult to know who's around otherwise, though there will be the obvious signs and such to help in that regard."
Oner gave a small sigh of relief as Thomas accepted the apology, the changed magus glad that the older wizard wasn't offended. "I am glad to hear it, as I would have hated for him to have been unknowingly offending you". Then, soon enough, Thomas shifted their conversation back to the original point, asking about Oner's interesting appearance and whether or not it would change back when Reno returned to being in control. "That is a good question, and you are right to assume so. Although you are a bit off about the whole control aspect. I suppose the only way to truly give this confusing situation some clarity, is to explain what we really are. I hope you are up for a rather..." Oner scratched his head for a moment, "long winded explanation..."
Thomas kept up a decent pace as they moved, and he nodded. "Go ahead."
