mysteries never end -- trick

[Satoshi Mochida]

Arien Albarn

Satoshi still had yet to figure out this town, now because of all the mysterious crap that he had already ran into he kept a backpack on him. In the bag held pens, a book to write in, and some extra supplies as well as weapons in case of trouble. So far, he has ran into a ghost, a potion maker, and pirate. The potion maker was the one he liked the most, she was nice other than her insane goose that thing was his worse enemy next to ghosts. But no matter, today was just for him to relax. He deserved it, his family had settled in, unpacked, and started to put every thing in order. All he had to do was his room and he was done, it was easy.

Now he was just walking, thinking about his old friends. He missed them, he missed Mrs Yui he missed his old home and academy but he knew he had to get away from there after what happened. Sighing, he shook his head and thought about all his friends a slight tear going down his cheek and he looked down and then realized he was on sand. His mind had wandered off again and so he didn't realize where he had gone. Coming back to the world he looked around and blinked "Wha.. where.." he was confused.

Blinking, he pulled out his booklet and sketched this area, it was new to him. He had never seen a beach before, and so it looked .. well beautiful and new, that was until someone stepped in front of him. Completely shirtless and in swim trunks. "A-Ah!" he cried out stumbling back not realizing how long this other human spirit had been standing there. Quickly he grabbed his back and held it to his chest gripping a knife just in case. He knew he couldn't trust anyone in this town yet and possibly ever.

Arien paused as the boy stumbled away from him. With a quixzical frown the half-fae man turned, running a hand through his snowy hair. Perhaps he'd turned ugly without realizing it, or was this boy just afraid of toplessness? He'd heard of the sort. How odd. Cocking a grin. Arien half bowed, touching the three middle fingers of his right hand over his heard in greeting. "Scare you, did I?" The question was obviously answered and Arien laughed as he backed off a step.

The ocean was one of his favorite places to swim. Much better than lakes and ponds at least. Not only that, it meant he could spend some time hunting with Crest, and that always proved to be an adventure. He'd only just left the water, and his beige shorts as well as his pale skin were still wet, but he'd dry quickly. It was always better to walk the lactic acid out of his system and air-dry anyway. He'd never have done it though if he'd anticipated the fear he'd strike into the heart of this young man. It was a darn good thing Crest hadn't followed him, or worse, Frost.

"Who might you be, kid?"

[Satoshi Mochida]

The male stood there looking like a fool, half his body was turned a leg in the air as well as both his arms crossing each other and his hazel brown eyes were wide. He looked at the male and realized he was dripping wet, which just made him shiver. His eyes stared at him and he blinked as the male moved. Great Satoshi, just make yourself look like a fool around everyone why don't ya? he thought to himself. He had done this around the other people he met to, it was like he expected to be alone or some crap.

With a scared breath escaping his lips, the male shook his head "N-No it was my fault .. I - I didn't see you when I was drawing you must of came up while I was looking in my booklet." he said with a thick blush covering his face from pure embarrassment. He shook hair out of his eyes and relaxed his body. He blinked and looked at him putting one hand back into his pocket and the bag back over his shoulder.

He gulped and shook his head "I-I'm not a kid .. I'm seventeen years old, but I'm Satoshi Mochida .. who are you?" he asked.

[Arien Albarn]

Placing his hands comfortable on his hips, Arien locked a knee and leaned on his leg comfortably, more out of habit than anything else. The kid, despite what he called himself otherwise, was amusing. Arien didn't remember seeing him about, but then, it wasn't exactly his job to know all the names around.

"Ah, so I only surprised you, that's good. I thought I was just ugly or something," Arien laughed, tipping his head back and closing his eyes with the force of it. He was always like that, laughing wholeheartedly and without inhibition.

At Satoshi's introduction, Arien held out a hand, feeling the boy might do better with a proper introduction. "Arien Albarn, nineteen years old. You're still a kid to me, kid," with an accompanying teasing wink, of course.

[Satoshi Mochida]

This guy was .. special. For sure. He stood there Ah.. wha.. is that kind of pose .. wha.. I'm so confused on people in this town .. mom! I want to move back to my old home. he thought No.. this is best for both me and Yuka he shook his head and looked at him raising a 'brow' at the male in complete and utter confusion. He seemed to see himself as attractive which was never a good thing, that meant the guy was self-centered most of the time.

"Wha .. uhm .. ok." Satoshi really had no words to that, but the blush that stuck to his face thickened and he hung his head hiding the smile that soon showed on his face Finally a nice male thats not a total creep thought young Satoshi as he looked back up to see he was holding his hand out for a more proper introduction.

Taking his hand slowly out of his pocket he took the hand and shook it with a firm grip before quickly retreating his hand back into his pocket and looking him straight in the eyes. He's got cool eyes.. he thought and then shook his head smiling "Ok ya ... I can see where your getting at there." he said and then blinked "Uhm .. hey Arien I moved in here just two days ago and I honestly don't know anything about this place .. wh-where am I currently where I use to live there was never a are like this." he said with a embarrassed tone.

Arien scratched his head as he examined Satoshi, who seemed a bit lost for words. Had he said something strange mayhaps? He'd been trying his best to act normal, but apparently it hadn't worked. Well it was a shame, but he wasn't exactly going to be bothered by what others thought f him.

"You're at the ocean. Never seen one before?" Arien asked in confusion. Perhaps he'd been living in the middle of a land mass, but it seemed unfortunate for the poor kid. Arien couldn't live without the ocean, it was beautiful. Which reminded him, he was drying and still only half dressed. Turning slightly, he lifted his hand and gestured to Satoshi. "Walk with me? I need to get some clothes."

[Satoshi Mochida]

The male put a hand to his mouth a blush streaming across his face "Wha .. of course I've seen a -- oh who am I kidding? Where I lived we had one pool and that was it." he said and shook his head "This is so embarrassing I am so sorry" he said under his breathe as his bangs fell into his eyes. Satoshi was always terribly socially awkward until he got to know the person even then he was terrible with being social.

When the male asked him to walk with him so that he could get some clothes he looked up "Uh .. sure." he said It can't hurt ... hes not that creepy pirate dude and sure he could be a major threat to me .. but maybe I could fight him off. Satoshi knew he was lying to himself there. But he really did need to make new friends .. so maybe, just maybe this guy could be his first friend ...

But the girl he met in the forest seemed pretty cool to ... she had given him her number to contact her for his free potion and his story in exchange. So .. he needed to do that soon. When he realized he was in his own world he shook his head and looked at him with a sheepish grin.
