Oh, You Sweet Summer Child.
xxxHer feet made soft thumps against the ground, seemingly no louder than a patter a dog might make as the pair walked down the streets of the usually busy city. Though most people had since gone home, there were still a few stragglers that shot sideways oogles in their direction. Not that Fawn noticed, for she was much more focused on the winged man.
She smiled, wide, and nodded. "That's what I was told. A friend told me this was the perfect place to find someone. Though, I'm not sure where to start. I'm sure there's a difference between those who can use magic verus those who ken enough to teach it, but I imagine they'll also cost a fair few coins."[/b] Fawn shrugged. She was truly trying not to think about the gold aspect of it too much, but the daunting idea of her quickly thinning coin purse was hard to forget.
When Hyoga ran off her brow raised and she stopped in the middle of the street. Curious to his actions, when he returned her one raised brow turned to two as the fire began to snake up his arm as if dancing. Her eyes reflected the light back at him and glowed like fireflies in a forest as she watched in wonder the magic be performed. Unconsciously her hand reached out as if to test if the fire itself was still indeed fire- but the closer her fingers got, the warmer they felt, and a smile crept up her face while she pulled her hand back underneath the cloak. It really was magic!
"That's amazing! How does one come to ken it? To use it? Is it somethin ye can teach me?" The farmgirl was nearly bouncing on her toes, though the bouncing ceased when his spear materialized in a brilliant display of cold lights that sparkled and burned up towards the sky. She followed in his steps, cupping herself into the crook of his wing gently and sighed contently with the new flame warming their space even just a degree more.
But his question threw her off. She looked towards the fire and followed it with her eyes as it spun around him, then forward at the darkness in front of them while they made their way down the slowly emptying streets. For a moment she didn't say anything and the only sound between them was that of the flames licking the wind and their feet upon cobblestone. But finally, she parted her lips. Her eyes stayed forward, hazy now as she imaged her farm while she spoke.
"It's what reminds me that this world, this universe is breathing. When I first saw magic it was like I was meeting the earth for the first time, and I've only just begun to know her. I want to know more, and to see what I can do with magic, how far I can go. It was like I had lived my life with a blindfold on and then suddenly someone ripped it off... what about you? Why did you want to learn?" She looked up at him then, a tender smile upon her chilled pink lips.
