Courtyard (South)

[~Kee Kee Matsumi~]

Lenair's smile grew with his response, for she had only desired to know if he were willing. She had tested her holy magic in the past to some extent; so far she had found success with two resurrections, with one animal subject and a dark elf. (The latter subject had left her in an exhausted state; she had experienced a momentary state of blindness for a while, but aside from that, her recovery had been painless and pleasant.) She was confident that healing him would be a less arduous task; she had strong faith within her abilities. All right... I'm ready. "No, I don't mind at all," she replied, as the shallow breeze livened her sapphire locks and brushed against her garb and wings. She pushed a few stray locks from her face and shook her feathery appendages just a bit.

Her eyes caught the look of pure elation within his gray optics as a pleased sigh flowed from his lips. His gaze was locked with hers, for reasons that were beyond her. (She detected a hint of nostalgia within his eyes, but she reasoned against questioning him. There was a much more important matter at hand.) She didn't seem to mind, as a gentle sigh surpassed her lips. That's good... I'd rather that he be calm... and at peace... Slowly, her soft cerulean orbs closed; her guise became a mask of tranquility as she lifted her hands, resting them along his chest. The white glow that had enveloped her hands faded into a misty blue; the arabesque that covered her hand and cheek radiated with layers of warmth.

The brilliance increased as a stream of pure energy seeped from her palms and steadily embraced his sore body. It flowed into his skin, veins, lacerations, and tissue as it dispelled the injuries and soreness that afflicted his being. While Lenair healed his subtle wounds, a sweet and almost undetectable hum flowed from her rosy lips. She had ascended to a much higher level of peace and comfort, so she didn't seem aware of the action as her eyes remained closed. The melody permeated the air, chiming harmoniously with the song of the crickets and other night bugs as she mended his lacerations and eased his throbbing limbs.

Sakura watched as the girl placed her hands on his chest, blushing slightly and becoming a bit arkward. But he quickly recovered and closed his eyes as she did. Taking another deep breath and releasing it as a low, long, sigh. Sakura gasped softly as he felt such a warm, pure, sensation running through his body. Such an incredible feeling he has never felt before. As it increased, Sakura thought he found peace within himself. Such a blissful feeling that he wished he felt this all the time. He was to stunned by the incredible sensation that he didn't even feel his muscles being relieved of all its stress. The sensation was unexplanable. But it was like a nice cool river flowing through your body but, better then a river. It was more peaceful and pure. It was far better then his own healing ability, but of course more complex. Sakura truly felt ecstasy out of this. Goodness, if only it was a drug he would take it all the time. But its to good to be a drug for others to use. How harminous Sakura felt during his healing process.

The flow of pristine energy perpetuated for a while longer as Lenair focused on the remaining tense muscles and cuts. By meticulously controlling the steady flow, it was easy to effectuate the sweet sensations that rippled throughout the boy's being. A sweet and peaceful smile rested upon her lips as she felt his bliss; she was glad that she could bring him some joy, despite how grim his previous circumstances had been. As she sensed that his sores were scant, for the most part, she lessened the flow of energy and maintained the serene feeling that pulsated throughout Sakura's body. All right... he seems perfectly fine now... The pain that had troubled his muscles slowly dispersed; the glow that encircled Lenair's hands mitigated ever so steadily as she neared the close of the healing process.

The radiance that had been sparked from her arabesque slowly died just as the stream of energy dried up; the lingering amount coursed back into Lenair's wane hands. (Her gentle hum flowed with the night as she became noiseless, remaining oblivious to the previous tune.) Silence flowed throughout the courtyard as Lenair's eyes gradually opened, a dreamy mist settling about her sapphire optics. She observed Sakura, her eyes skimming over his skin as she detected little to no scars, if any had formed. Her smile widened as her eyelids drooped just a bit; she felt a little drowsy, probably due to the exchange of energy. But aside from that, she seemed to be in good health. (It took her a while to notice that her hands had yet to leave his chest, as she sensed the torn fabric of his shirt beneath her fingers.)

A slow blush crept onto her wan cheeks as she raised her palms, resting her hands upon her lap once more. Oops... "I'm sorry," she lightly murmured, almost too inaudibly for him to hear. She felt a little embarrassed as her fingers grasped the fabric of her dress, rubbing the lamina of indigo against her thumbs. Eventually, her sea blue eyes caught his cloudy gaze as a query rested upon the tip of her tongue. "How do you feel, now?"

Sakura began breathing with louder sighs as he wanted more, becoming addictied to this feeling. He remembered he felt like this before. But every since his exile, he felt sorrow, depression, and anger. Also many other sins. So this reunion of peace made him want more. But he slowly felt it slip away from him as he nearly completed his healing. No...please don't leave... he begged in thought, but he finally came to his senses as he remembered that he was being healed. Just...being healed...

When the warm, peaceful sensation subsided from him he heard the girl hum very softly. Was she doing that the whole time? Sakura asked himself. Feeling the breeze blow against his skin, he felt no soarness in his muscle anymore. Sakura loved that his muscles felt better but still wanted that peace to return. But there is nothing he can do to keep it forever. Sakura let out another sigh as he slowly opened his eyes. Sakura watched as the girl observe his physic, seems to be curious about her work. Her smile made him feel better though, telling him his proably completely fine. But her blush made him laugh a little as she removed her hands from his shirt and rest them on her lap. "Its ok..." Sakura responded to her embarrassed moment, despite it being said so softly. I hope her blush is not what I think it is... Sakura thought. This is about the thrid time a girl has blushed over him since he came to Ria. His only been here for about 2 weeks, too! So he himself is suprised. But as her head lifted and words flowing out of her mouth, Sakura responded with, "I feel wonderful. Thank you." He then smiled widely, seperating his teeth a little.

Lenair's misty smile widened with his enthused response as she eased her back carefully against the wooden bench. She scooted to the opposite side just a few inches as she partially extended her wings, making sure that she didn't crush the delicate appendages. (She also made sure that she offered the boy a decent amount of space, since there was no longer a need for her previous closeness.) "You're very welcome," she replied, with a satisfied sigh flowing from her lips as she turned her head on her right side. She giggled softly as he simpered, not intending to offend him or anything; she was just glad that he was all right, his grin being proof of that. Slowly her previous blush died as there was nothing left to feel embarrassed about; he hadn't seemed to mind previously, though her exhaustion had caused her to react a bit slower than intended.

Oh well... what's important is that we're both in good health, though I'm becoming a tad bit sleepy. A faint yawn flowed from her lips, causing her to lightly squint her eyes in exhaustion. She was quick to cover her mouth with her right hand, as she was always inclined to prevent terrible mannerisms. Gradually, she wiped away the small tears that were produced from the drowsy reaction. Her eyes followed a few stray fireflies as they frolicked among the grassy field. Another landed on the bridge of her nose once more, producing a tingling sensation as she attempted to stifle a fit of giggles.

Eventually the bug did depart, as the previous one had; its flight led her attention back toward the grinning fellow, as he shined with a grand radiance of joy. She couldn't help but feel a sense of great elation in return, glad that she could aid someone in need. But there were a few things that she desired to ask him, as least before she sailed off into her own dreamland. "Sir," she murmured, her sapphire eyes locking with his cloudy gaze once more. "If you don't mind my asking, what is your name?"  

[sakura159753]

Sakura watched as she streched her wings slightly. He didn't really notice them before, look like angel wings to him. Quite lovely to see someone besides me... he thought, but he knew that his wings where gray and fallen now. Not the pure white that this girl had. Oh how his wings once were this color. So perfect...so beautiful. But the past can not be changed now. Sakura is who he is now. His accepted it. But that thought was lost from Sakura's head faced the girl's as he heard the girl giggle, making him look at her with a smirk. Wonder whats so funny? But it didn't really matter to him. Sakura let out a small sigh as the wind blew more hair into his eyes. But he just brushed them to the side. He then wondered his eyes to the fireflies that seem to still remain. Never thought fireflies would be so interested in humans...

The yawn that the girl let out made Sakura's eyes return to her. It does seem like its getting late. Must be around 2 if Sakura's instincts are correct. Sakura let out a yawn as well. But he wasn't as polite as the lady and didn't cover his mouth. Sakura never figured why to cover your mouth. He heard it was a christian thing so the Devil doesn't enter your body. But he didn't care of such thing. A yawn is a yawn and if someone needs to yawn, then so be it! Sakura then rubbed his eyes with his lower palm after his yawn since they seem to become heavy and watery. But as Sakura lowered his hands back down, and opened his eyes, he watched as a firefly flew off the girl's nose and her gaze met his. Her eyes seem to be filled with curiousity and joy. But as she opened her mouth and asked him a question, Sakura responded with,"My name is....Sakura." Smirking slightly as he knows Sakura is mainly a girl's name. But he quickly asked her, "And your name?"  

[Alef]

Alef treaded lightly across the grass, not seeming to really take notice of anyone. Her appearance had not changed much, but the fact that she had been away for quite some time would be enough for most to forget she had even attended here. Long blonde hair no longer fell well past her waist, but instead was a brown color and now held up in a popular twist. It seemed everyday back when she was around more often she was seeing new people; she could only imagine how it would be after being away for some months. Nonetheless, she continued her stroll in hopes of seeing a familiar face.  

[Zminasksaisz]

Chrono sat on a bench, then he said "this is as bad as the human school...nobody even says 'hi' to me..." He was just sitting there, the book in his hand, he stared at everyone that had at least one friend, while he sat alone.  

[Mistress Rowan]

Rowan skipped through the large grass field, tail swinging back and forth trailing a gold and cream ribbon in it's wake. Smiling to herself, she headed to the fountain where she sat, studying the phoenix in particular that was part of the fountain and smiling to herself.  

[Alef]

Alef let out a soft sigh. She had been here a large portion of the day. Though she had seen a few people, none are of any familiarity to her. Leaning back on the bench she had claimed for herself, she felt her back crack a little bit. "Perhaps I should move around a little. Surely there must be someone willing to ease my boredome." She said, speaking softly to herself. Looking around again, she stood up and stretched out before making her way towards two of the people who had recently entered. She wasn't entirely sure she would say anything when she got there, or if she would simply pass on through to another area.  

[~Kee Kee Matsumi~]

Upon hearing his rejoinder, she extended her right arm toward him, looking expectant of a hand shake. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Sakura," she said with a sweet, tranquil voice. "Sakura," she repeated, as though lost within a nostalgic moment. A coincidence... I suppose.. A dreamy smile rested upon her wan face as another yawn was expelled from her lips. (She covered her mouth once more, wiping away the light dew that trickled from her squinted eyes.) It was becoming very late, but despite that, Lenair had no desire to return to her dorm. She was fairly comfortable resting against the wooden bench--even with its worn foundation.

(She had been in seclusion for far too long, a night in the courtyard could do her some good. It wouldn't hurt if she left her room alone for just one night; Adora and Arable had been fed, so they would be all right.) Lenair fell into a short period of silence, her guise adopting a pensive expression, as though she were experiencing a moment of mental analysis. The subject that came to mind was Sakura's name; it reminded her of someone very near and dear. "That's a very beautiful name," came her response, shattering the quiet that had once settled between them. "Heh, I have friend who has that name, as well." She nodded softly as though confirming her assumption.

"Are you familiar with Ms. Sakura Ai," she queried, hoping that he had come across the girl. I haven't seen her in so long... I hope that she still remains at this campus. I don't want her to leave, as well.. There was a glimmer of sadness in Lenair's eyes, but she quickly averted her gaze, hoping that Sakura hadn't detected anything. It's best not to dwell on the past, right now... After a while, she gazed at him once more, now realizing that he had asked for her name in return. "Oh," she murmured, a bit abruptly. "Where are my manners? You had asked me my name, right?" She smiled a bit sheepishly as she cleared her throat and mind, hoping to avoid further distractions. (Her behavior had been eldritch, for the most part.)

"Well, name is Lenair, Lenair Malchrist," she retorted, pushing back a few stray locks as another breeze passed their way.  

[Mistress Rowan]

Looking about Rowan saw others from the school sitting, talking, or walking about. None seemed to take much notice of her, except possibly one of the girls who had just stood up from a bench. Pulling her legs up against her chest, Rowan looked out at the trees and people with a smile, enjoying the sunny and pleasant day.  

[Queen Ismaire]

Getting up from her spot under the tree, she made her way over to the fountain and sat down on one of the many benches. She stared at the fountain and watched the water spill out of the top before falling the three short levels down to the main pool. Mirror moved her bag to the far side of the bench and layed her head upon it like a pillow. I wonder when Sayo will get back....  

[Alef]

Alef headed for the gates, passing those around her, but slowed and turned to a girl who had just seemed to be getting ready to take a nap. She tilted her head to the side debating on whether or not to disturb her. Figuring she wouldn't have much luck anywhere else she headed over to the girl. If she wished to start seeing familiar faces, she had better start making friends with people again. "Hey, I hope I'm not bothering you or anything. I was wondering if you could spare a minute to just talk?" She looked at the girl with a hopeful expression on her face. True, Alef was quite friendly, but it had been awhile since she had attempted to strike up a converstaion. "My name is Alef, by the way, could I have the honor of knowing yours?" The honor? She thought to herself, thinking she may be acting a bit to formal for a simple chat.
