The heat subsided and can stood. Now that she trusted him again, they could move forward. He slipped his glove into his belt, leaving his right hand exposed. After a quick survey of the area and its features, Cain looked back down to the girl. "Do you know where to find the Primm woman?" He asked, stone cold with emotionless nickel stained eyes locked on her. He held out the hand for her to take. He deduced that if she had a direct line to him, she would take comfort in his allowing her to screen his every word for lies. He was unable to tell them as far as he was aware, but it was evident that she didn't fully believe that. She required evidence just as he did. @shylarah

Gearing up to get started with one or two new threads!
Bio
As a role player, I like to play my characters in a way that enthralls others. If I can make people care about my character and what happens to him/her, then I feel I have succeeded. My play style is very much about having fun, but its also about challenging others to make choices and grow their characters.
I am a military member without many ways to outlet the stress of life, so I come to role playing to get away and get lost in the worlds we create. I love to write and I have been doing it for years. I'm not afraid to hop into a super serious, super in-depth thread, nor am I afraid to take part in your typical high school RP. If it interests me, I want to jump in and start driving the story.

Aaaaaand they've just connected. Cain is having feelings, Amuné has a friend she doesn't have to fear. All is good. Or is it?..... Dun dun daaaaaaahhhhh!
Cain noticed the expression, and the heat returned to him. His chest and face burned as his brow furrowed. Had he not been wearing a mask over his lips, she might have seen his ever so slight frown. This confused him. He didn't stifle his own expression this time. Instead he knelt down to eye level again. His metallic eyes had a slight glisten to them, although he didn't know this. He only knew they too felt hot, and he didn't understand what magic was causing this. Perhaps the girl was cursing him too. Perhaps not. Clearly she did not believe him, and that was unacceptable. Her trust was less, and he needed that trust. But why did he need that trust? Why did he need anything from her?
His body acted on its own for a moment, placing his hand on her arm. His bare hand. He had peeled off his glove, revealing a pale, tattooed hand with blacked fingernails. If she had telepathy, it was well known amongst magic users that touch gave ease to such ability. This was how he would prove his honesty, or at least the story he believed to be the truth. Rejection from his cousin had been more traumatic than he had been willing to accept. He was alone. The girl was right, whether he was able to understand it or not.

Gah! Children! Lol how am I gonna play this out?! /(T.T)\ lol this is so fun, it's been a while since I've been challenged like this! ( ..);
"I was bewitched." He swiftly replied, "My cousin, Morgäna, used her magic to influence my body's chemical physiology in an effort to upset me enough that I would leave. It backfired on her, obviously."
This may or may not have been true, but that was unimportant. Cain truly believed what he said to be the truth. It was the only way his mind could rationalize his past outburst. He had couldn't remember the last time he had felt an emotion, so his outburst had been an alien experience. His mind didn't recognize it, and so he used the data to determine his vision of what happened. He had reacted in such a way as an emotional person would when his cousin's magic had peaked. Immediately before and after his mind had been stone cold. The logic was undeniable, and yet emotions are not logical. Therefore his mind determined them to be untrue.
This was why he was unable to comprehend the fact that somewhere deep inside, a splinter of his soul was happy the girl had accepted his mask. His conscious mind saw it as an acknowledgement of his plan working, but something was stirring within him.
"The Primm woman should be expecting an emissary from the 'Royal Special Affairs' in regards to campus courses and activity. I am acting as this person on behalf of my employer." He said, drawing the writ from a pocket beneath a thin obsidian steel armor plate on his thigh. "This document is a writ of passage for me to follow a specific student and observe the happenings of the academy around said student. 'From their perspective,' as my employer iterated." He left out that the student was Amuné. Part of his hidden objective was to study her and report unusual findings. If he could, he would allow this to be a surprise from the Primm woman's lips and study her reaction, but as his task and for personal research on 'surprise'. @shylarah

"I am not kind." Was all he said in reply. He elected not to answer her question. It was irrelevant. "You say you feel others' emotions. Perhaps this is why I am 'different'. I have been stripped of such weakness." He decided not to tell her he didn't care. That might put her trust in him on a ledge, and his charge required she be cooperative.
A part of him wondered if that was true though. Perhaps a trace part of him thought of her well-being as advantageous. He was learning a lot from her after all... but it was more than that somehow.. He put these thoughts in the back of his mind for further analysis at a later time.
He wiped her face off once more and stood. "Come, I will escort you back and see what it is these 'others' have to say of you." He said.
The man who had hired him, one of high status and influence, had drawn up a writ of passage in relation to the girl. The man's place in whatever he did, which was a well kept secret, gave him access to such power, and had deemed it a requirement. The Primm woman would certainly not allow a monster such as Cain to walk the grounds freely.
His sword was a little much though, so he removed t from his back and reformed it into a bracer for his right forearm that contained a hidden blade.

Hi guys. So I'm itching to rp, and I'm a fan of the show. I'll pitch a storyline if enough people show interest here, but I'm flexible and open to ideas. It doesn't have to be super serious, but I'd like it to be fairly serious. A little silliness never hurt anyone, but I'm tired of rp's falling through or just dying due to lack of serious commitment to posting once a day. I expect at least an updat in the OOC, you know? Anyway I do have other ideas though. Take a look!
-post apocalyptic fantasy (not unlike the Shannarah Chronicles)
-slice of life high school/college romance
-demon hunters
-supernatural underworld romance (can elaborate on request)
-futuristic action/adventure
I know these topics are kinda broad, but I have ideas for them. I like to work together with my partners to make the best rp experience I can! Pm me (preferred) or comment below if you're interested!

@Daxam right?? ;-;
"They fear truth for the same reason they fear death. It is absolute, and beyond their control. Lies can be formed, adjusted, but truth stands unmoving and is therefore considered a threat." He analyzed for her. "Additionally, I have to disagree with you. You can tell when people are lying. You feel it. As I recall, in the labyrinth during the masquerade, you displayed intense discomfort during my conversation with my cousin. When the enraged wolf shifter arrived, you again showed agitation. I sensed magic in you that day, which made your shifting ability likely, but I was too distracted to deduce that you had telepathy."
He allowed this to sink in. It was clear that she had underestimated his power of deductive reasoning, but she was a child. Such came as no surprise.
"After you left to return to this academy following our encounter in town, i have not allowed you to leave my sight. You seclude yourself as much as possible. You avoid the overly emotional children. You despise the caretaker who exhibits anger on a frequent basis. You read to escape life despite your age. You take to people who are 'happy' or 'calm' most of the time. I suspect this is why you take to a monster like me. I am incapable of intense emotion or complicated thought. My mind is clear, because I deal in truth. This is how you know that I am not a liar."
The strange feeling had gone by now. He remembered that the truth was likely not what upset her, rather the fear of potential non-truth. His logic was absolute, and in his mind he expected her to agree and realize this. But he had been surprised before. He prepared himself to be shunned, and complete his charge from a distance.
Though something in him hope she would not. @shylarah

Cain solemnly watched the gift as it was flung away. Her words made no logical sense.
"It cannot be a lie." He turned back to the girl, "it is an object. The object does not lie, rather the person behind it."
He willed the gift back into his hand and set it down.
"The mask lies no less than the sword kills. It is the person behind the object that does the deed." As he finished the sentence, he felt a heat in his chest and face. His eyes went back to the girl's mask. "Do you think I'm a liar?" He asked. His tone was still hard and cold as stone, but there was something unbalanced about his physiological being. He could literally feel the chemical changes, but not the emotions they were meant to produce.
Still, there was something about what she said.
