Arkane Halls

[Kitane Blackfyre]

--A faint light. A flash of sorts. The next thing the young girl knew was that her throat was slashed, along with her vocal chords. Of course, she'd passed out from the pain, but she barely managed to survive, being shadow touched. She'd died nine times, only to be brought back- --

Avine Arkane shook the memory from her head, turning her attention back to the conversation being had. She signed to her friends that she had to go, and waved to them, wandering down the corridors. "See ya Avine!" They called after her. She waves yet again, giving them a faint smile. Her slit pupil eyes focus on the ground, though she was lost in thought, not looking where she was going. Gripping the strap of her messenger bag, she continues walking, unaware of where she was headed.

[Lokyar Brightmane]

Lokyar wanders down a corridor, magical duels ending as he passes due to spells being multiplied in power several times over. He is deep in thought, a memory flashing through his mind again and again.

-------------

Twas a dark and stormy night, clamoured by the sounds of a revolt.
A large complex was devoted to experiments and the inmates were breaking out. Lokyar was in the middle, empowering counterspells and fireballs alike. He was unaware, as he cradled a fallen friend, as he died to a curse cast by their captors. He watched him die, again and again.

---------------

He walks straight into Avine.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I should have been looking where I was going."

He smiles at Avine.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Avine looks to Lokyar and smiles, the white scar showing clearly on her neck. She signs him a hello, then an apology. She bows to him several times, being polite and somewhat timid.

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal hopped in the window of the school on his normal trip to the library to learn. Since he had no way to pay for school, he just went to the library a lot. However, he didn't expect that he's find two people right in his path, and flopped to the ground in front of them. "OOF!" he said, picking himself up and dusting off his pants. He looked between the two of them. "Um... sorry."

[Lokyar Brightmane]

Lokyar notices the scar and thinks quickly.
'So this is the headmasters daughter...'

"Do you want to grab a coffee together? I don't wish to upset whatever boyfriend a beautiful girl like you must have, though!"

Lokyar winks.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Her eyes widen slightly as Jackal hops in through the window. She opens her mouth, but closes it pointing to her throat. She signs that she's unable to speak, hoping one of them knows sign language, since very few did. She blushes slightly and nods to Lokyar. 'That'd be great.' She signs to him.

[Lokyar Brightmane]

Lokyar stared at Jackal. They were on the third floor!

"Thank you, Avine, for accepting my offer."

Lokyar offered his paw, heart singing. He had heard of love at first sight, but...

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal took in the scene, getting a wonderful warm feeling from watching the two students talk about their first date. "You guys are perfect for each other, I can tell," he said, leaning against the wall.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

She nods, feeling herself starting to calm down slightly, taking his paw. She keeps her gaze affixed to the ceiling, her thoughts buzzing and all over the place. As Jackal spoke, her face turned red again and she shrugged, as if to say maybe.

[Lokyar Brightmane]

Lokyar glared daggers at Jackal as he took Avine to the school coffee shop, chatting merrily.

"What would you like? My treat!

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal shrugged. "It's true!" he yelled after Lokyar, following him to the coffee shop. Reading could wait. He wanted to watch this moment unfold... besides, he still had the book he checked out last time.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

She laughed a little, though it was a silent laugh, waving to Jackal as they left. She sways both of her tails happily, trying to make up her mind on what she wanted. She shrugs and stretches slightly.

[Lokyar Brightmane]

Lokyar lets go of her paw.

"Tell me what you want, what you really really want."

Lokyar smiled at the reference from his youth and pulled out his wallet.

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal watched from behind his book, trying not to chuckle at the reference to Chicken Little.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

She signs to him what she usually gets, which is just the regular order of coffee and smiles. She tilts her head as she does so, her raven black hair falling over her amber-colored eyes.
