| -Fade- Closing the door behind her, he followed her to the center of the little office, still making sure to keep her out of his direct focus. He still felt uncomfortable about focusing fully upon her, as if there was something about her Aura that he would not like to see. At the same time though, he felt oddly compelled to look at her, to revel in that Aura. Perhaps that was what made him uncomfortable. While most of the Aura's he looked upon were quite beautiful, each in their own special way, he had never really been attracted to one before. But this one, she was different. They had barely traded any words, he couldn't even see her actual features, and he was already oddly attracted. Oddly pulled to her, perhaps that was a better word. He wasn't so sure any more; as once again, his head was beginning to get a little fogged. This was crazy, he was putting way too much thought into this. It was then he realized he had stopped moving, and was merely standing in the center of the office, with his head angled toward her. His cheeks flushed a light red, and he coughed, letting out a somewhat nervous chuckle. "Excuse me, milady Fade. This one was lost in his own head for a moment." Her comment that formality was not needed apparently went un-noticed, as he once again referred to himself humbly, and continued to honor her. Stepping around her, that pleasant smile once more on his face, he went around the side of the desk and sat down on the accompanying chair. Tilting his head at her, his smile once again attacking her with unending warmth, he motioned at the chair across the desk. "Please milady, sit. Take a load off, did you have a long walk here?" Reaching out, his long, graceful fingers closed around a bowl of peppermint candies, and he extended it to her, smiling as he offered her the treat. He spoke, answering her earlier question. "Are you familiar with magic, milady? This one knows that some aren't very fond of it, and this one would understand if milady is uncomfortable with it. This one uses a kind of magic known as Auristics in order to see. It allows this one to see a little more than most, in a rather mystical way. This one just wants to look at you, in a word. Deeper than most. This one will be looking at your heart, your morality, your emotions. All of these things, as well as many others, all swirl about you to form an invisible Aura. That is what this one sees." He cleared his throat, shaking his head. "This one is sorry if this one is not being clear. It is hard for this one to explain to someone who cannot see like this one can." Chewing his lower lip in thought, he cocked his head in the other direction, his attention still slightly off of her, yet his mind rapidly thinking about her. He hated explaining it to people, he really did. It was so hard to do, and it just sounded so weird. "This one just wants to see if you are trustworthy, really. We will be going into danger, and this one wants to make sure you are someone who can be trusted. This one apologizes if you take that to offense, milady. This one means no harm, truly." He held out the bowl of candy a little further, smiling. "Candy, milady?" |
| -Guido- Rap tap tap. Stitch was instantly up from his desk and at the door, and it was quickly swung open, the blind man completely and totally ready for it this time. Fade and Rhuryc had both appeared one after the other, surprising Stitch, and he had supposed that their quick arrival had clued him in on the kind of response he would be getting. He had only put the note up yesterday, after all. He didn't think an ad that spoke of death and danger would get much of a response, but apparently it had caught the interest of quite a diverse crowd. However, t seemed the only thing that most people had noticed was the treasure. The eagerness worried Stitch just a bit, he wuld have liked to see a bit more caution, but he supposed he couldn't blame them. He too was a bit excited to get outside the walls of Syliras, which he rarely had the chance to do. Since Malia had left, he had been so busy with the children, and all the duties that came along with the Welcome Home. This journey would be a welcome vacation, even if it was likely to turn into something a little different then a mere "vacation". The man in front of him had a colorful Aura, and that Aura pulsed with the same adventurious spirit as the other. Chuckling to himself, Stitch stepped aside, allowing the man entry. "Good afternoon, milord. You are here about the ad, this one presumes?" Stitch was quite the polite one, it seemed. His dialect was soft and proper, humble and respectful. He was quite the figure to look at, tall and extremely fit, but he still radiated a soft and gentle kind of warmth. The most noticable thing was the two blind eyes, which had stayed uncovered for quite a long time today. They were milky white orbs with three scratched scars in each, and faded grey pupils. They were slightly creepy, and took away from an otherwise handsome face, but the blind man didn't seem to let them dampen his rather bright spirits. Stitch was interested in Guido, to say the least. He had just been about to go out and grab the ads from around town, for he had found his group. Fade and Rhuryc seemed like quite the capable party, and he had confidence in the three of them. But now looking upon this man, Stitch had almost instantly decided to add another to the group. His Aura reeked of magic, much like Kamalia's did, although it was a much more calm magic. Magic was handy though, very much so, and always a welcome addition to any kind of adventuring party. What kind of magic was it, Stitch wondered? The man seemed to be a good person, too. Stitch was having no problems with his Aura, no uncomfortable feelings or doubts. It was colorful and active, swirling and jumping about. |
