Open A new day!

“Yes.” Avind nodded, giving the Kelvic a side glance. Talking about his studies was not something he really wanted to do. It would have been fine if the subject he came to Zeltiva to study had been a more common one. But Avind was planning to study Reimancy, Spiritism and Glyphing here, magical subjects. He wasn't sure how Ruebia would react knowing that. “I'm going to study... Some writings and the likes. Just get some more knowledge if I can, expand my mind and whatnot.” He smiled and tried not to look at her, afraid that this small white lie would show on his face. The Vantha hardly thought of himself as a good liar and felt as if it would instantly show on his face. “I'd also like to get some history studies down. Maybe other things too. Animals, plants and the likes might be interesting.” That, at least, wasn't a lie. He would start with magic and expand his studies as best as he could, explore other fields, collect as much knowledge as possible and then bring it all back to his home. Well, if he could still call Avanthal home. Another thing he didn't want to think about much. His place back home, did he still have one? It was hard to know. Trying to distract himself, he stopped to look at some more trinkets, largely uninteresting ones. “You said you wanted to travel.” He turned a bit to look at Ruebia. It was funny, in a way, how talking with her made him remember so many things he did not want to remember, much less think about. Well, thinking about it, there was much in her that reminded Avind of himself. She seemed curious and wanted to travel, see the world. Maybe she would even come to learn magic? Realizing he was staring a bit too much, he smiled with embarrassment and continued. “Where would you like to go first? Lhavit is beautiful although far... Same goes for Avanthal although it is much much further away.” How far away was Avanthal exactly? Thinking about it, he had never stopped to look at maps much even though he traveled what? Across the whole continent? He would have to check some maps just to be sure. “There is also Yahebah but I didn't stay there for that long.” And how many cities did he pass by too? He really needed to look at a map and figure out exactly what kind of path he had taken from one corner of the world to the other.

Ruebia Ruebia tilted her head at Avind. Why didn't he look at her when he announced what he was going to study? At the young age of only two, Ruebia's experience was that people revealed who they were within the first moments of meeting. She was much too naive to think of a person portraying himself at first as one way to act in a completely different way in another time. She still saw the world through rosy glasses and had no reason to distrust anyone. Avind's lie went by unnoticed. When he asked her where she wanted to travel she looked away in contemplation. She honestly had not much of an idea. She knew little to nothing of the rest of the world. The Library was starting to sound very good right about now... She turned back to Avind as he began to list several cities. She hadn't noticed him staring so she was a bit confused as to why he seemed embarrassed for a moment. Lahvit? Avanthal? Yahebah? All sounded familiar, all had a ring to it. Maybe she had heard the names called out by the docks once upon a time. "I honestly don't know where to go. I just know that I wish to travel. There are so much other cities in Mizahar that can offer different things to learn. I can't grow as a person if I stay rooted to one place and it'd be a waste of my youth and energy if I did. I intend to travel and maybe... Maybe I'll come back and tell my mother about the places I've seen." She had never thought of that. Coming back to Zeltiva after she left. Would she really ever come back? Would this be her home? Would she come back the same person? Ruebia had a weird feeling about that. What exactly was out there? "Can you tell me about the ones you mentioned? The cities?" She asked him as they reached the road leading out of West Street. "You are going to the Custom's Office, correct?" she added, pointing down the road.
