His presence surprised her as well, although it wasn't unpleasant. A social butterfly herself, Lani smiled at Zak as he approached. "Hi! Yeah, that's perfectly fine." She said. "I'm Lani. I go to the Lemuria. Atlantis House. What about you?"

Wed, 22 Aug 2012 03:16:10 -0400

“It is nice to meet you, Lani,” Zak said with a smile, “I am christened Zak. I, too, go to Lemuria. Are you enjoying your time there?”

Lani sat along the edge of the pool, dipping her feet into the water. Somehow in these past few weeks, she managed to overlook the fact that there was a swimming pool on the grounds. She could have gone back to her room to get a swimwuit, but the teen decided against it. It was late and for now, this would suffice.

From one pond to another, Zak had always found peace when he was swimming. There was healing in the water, this he firmly believed, and he felt it most when he was alone.

This night, however, he was surprised to find that he was not alone as he had originally thought. Most decided to avoid the pool at night, for whatever obscure reason, but not tonight.

Being that he was, after all, still something of a social creature, Zak made his way towards the lone girl. “Excuse me,” he began, “I would like to begin by introducing myself if that is quite alright with you.”

Light glanced away at the question, sighing, he finally said, "I have been tracking my father," He finally admitted. "I believe it is time I pay him a visit." Looking back to Zak, he said, "After that I am unsure. I would enjoy seeing your home but I do not think I would be welcome."

Tue, 29 May 2012 20:09:19 -0400

Zak pursed his lips, knowing full well what it was Light would most likely do if he were to meet his father. “I do not have the power to stop you from seeing your father or from carrying out what you wish to do, though I do urge you to reconsider.

As for my home,” he paused, looking down at Light, “you would be more than welcome. We are not ones who deny a person, especially one considered a friend by any one of us, the privilege of entering or at the very least staying by the shore. I have no doubt that you would be welcomed with open arms.”

Light nodded, he was a tad nervous, truthfully, but he was also ready to explore more of what it was like to just have fun without red staining his hands. Looking him over thoughtfully, he smiled then, "With you as my teacher, I will be able to pick anything up." Within twenty minutes or so, the two of them were found trekking forward, side by side, Light peered up at the tree tops and then around curiously. "Zak, what are you doing for the summer?"

Tue, 29 May 2012 19:52:23 -0400

If Light wished to know, Zak would be more than happy to teach him, to lead him somewhere cool and clean where perhaps even the red stains on his hand could wash away.

Their trek was a pleasant one, the two exchanging conversation when desired and falling into a comfortable silence if not. Zak minded neither one.

“I have been contemplating returning home for at least a brief visit. I have yet to hear word from them and am eager to know how they have fared given all the possible turn of events. What is it you have decided to do with your time during this new season?”

Light paused, and then he said, "Yes, I believe a swim would be nice. Although," He cleared his throat and averted his gaze. "You will need to teach me how to swim, Zak. I am unlearned in that," Shaking his head, he went towards the door and said, "Come. If you are ready."

Tue, 29 May 2012 19:39:00 -0400

Zak positively beamed at that. Standing to walk with Light, he placed a hand upon the man’s shoulder. “I would be honored to teach you how to swim. I am sure you shall…how does the saying go…’pick it up’ in no time at all. Shall we?”

Nodding as Light considered it, he looked ahead. He was still pretty clueless on what it was normal people considered fun. Considering his idea of a good time involved buckets of blood, he just licked his lips and looked back to Zak. "It would be a good idea if you and I took a trip through the forests. It may be fun, plus it is warm outside, I hear many people enjoy those kinds of journeys when it is." Getting to his feet, he said, "There may even be a river we can visit."

Tue, 29 May 2012 19:18:34 -0400

Normal was a relative term in the realm of the supernatural anyway. Zak did not mind in the slightest.

“This sounds like an entirely pleasant experience. I am sure it would lend both the opportunity to spend time with one another as well as time to study the world around us. Plus,” Zak said as his voice dropped slightly, an almost shy expression crossing his face, “I would like to take you swimming if that is something you would enjoy.”

Light glanced down at the books Zak seemed to be into and casually he reached out to flip them shut. "Yes. But I don't know what we could do. Is there anything fun? I often see Camelot as so boring, or," He paused, as a buffet. Shrugging he cut himself off. "Anyway, I think we should go somewhere. Do something. Maybe one of those bars everyone keeps talking about. Or a hike."

Tue, 29 May 2012 19:06:16 -0400

Carefully, Zak withdrew his fingers from the books, giving his full attention to the student perched upon his desk. “I am more than happy to perform any activity with you, be it hiking or traveling to a tavern. I cannot guarantee that I can hold my liquid if we choose the latter, as to the former, I see no reason why we cannot do so.”

Turning to face Light better, Zak placed his hands in his lap with a smile. “What would you like most to do?”

Oh, Zak. So wordy. /ooc

Oh, Zak. So wordy.

After already having his daily meal, Light licked his lips and walked onto campus, quiet and thoughtful. Flicking the blood from his claws, he went into Lumeria's building and approached the familiar dorm room, that was not his, and yet felt like home all the same. Not even bothering to knock, he went towards the blonde who he could see was clearly studying. Whatever, Light figured that if Zak wanted him gone, he would say so. Perching on his desk, he sighed, "I'm bored."

Tue, 29 May 2012 18:55:46 -0400

Zak had, indeed, been studying. Though he couldn’t quite recall when he had begun and how much time had passed since then. He knew he’d gone through at least three candles, if that meant anything at all.

The interruption wasn’t minded, not in the slightest, especially when the interruption came from someone in the form of Light.

“This is an unfortunate feeling,” Zak began, briefly looking up from the books spread out before him, “I have often been told that it can be cured by doing something vastly more entertaining and different than what one was currently going about. That being the case, do you require my assistance in alleviating your boredom?”

“If you aren’t too opposed to my asking, what exactly is this feeling? I have currently been researching the multitude of feelings that one can entirely feel and ways to either spur them on, as it were, or to counteract them. Perhaps I can do my best to help you,” Zak said as his eyes turned to Light. “Granted, I have always found relief in nature from being a part of it, though I do suppose that will not be the same for everyone.”

Zak crossed his arms over his chest, not from a defensive move, purely from a relaxation point of view. “I have been merely studying today, nothing more. Though I have written home for the first time in quite some time. I do hope to hear from them soon. All-in-all, it has given me a certain satisfaction.”

Sighing, he shook his head, he didn’t think Zak would understand, or maybe he would. Light knew what he was feeling, he’d always had those emotions before, back when he was on his own, he could usually just slaughter a few people and feel better. Now, though…things were expected of him, and even though he had no real regard for human life, he didn’t want to fail. Not until he passed, and then he could go and eat whoever he pleased. Right?

“Just angry,” He finally answered, “I am filled with murderous rage and I plan to act on that soon. That is all. The days are too long, I need my time to come soon before I act out. I do not want that to happen.”

Closing his eyes he listened to Zak’s soothing voice that reminded him of running streams and summer…better.

“So,” He peaked his right open, “You’re satisfied with relaxing, then? Having a pretty good day, nothing too stressful, nothing too boring…must be nice.”

Zak’s face fell slightly. He didn’t understand having murderous thoughts. Perhaps a passing fancy every so often, but if he were to sit down and think about it, he couldn’t…or could he? No. That wasn’t a very Ondine thought of him to have. Peace like a river. That’s what they had always taught and Zak had tried to follow that to the best of his abilities.

“I do hope you do not act out,” Zak said as words filtered through his mind. The books hadn’t taught about this. “Is there a chance you could channel your energy to something more constructive? A separate activity, perhaps might be best so that you can release this energy you feel bubbling inside in a way that is less harmful.”

The Ondine nodded, giving Light a smile. “I do feel accomplished over relaxing today, that does seem to be the best way to phrase it. Perhaps you can attempt to relax with me, that is if you do not have any other plans or if…certain feelings shall allow you to do so.”

Taken aback once more by Light’s manner, the faintest sign of hurt crossed Zak’s face before he ruled out that he had been upset by it in the first place. If Light did not wish to talk about his problems, then he did not have to. It really wasn’t up to Zak. Feeling only sympathy for him, Zak took a seat beside him.

“If it is upsetting you, might I suggest that you look at something else for a while? I’ve heard looking at nature is quite refreshing.”

Tilting his head once more, Zak let an easy smile drift across his face as he answered, “I am quite well today. I have not done much admittedly, however, I do feel as though I’ve accomplished something nonetheless. It is a very satisfying feeling, though I do not quite understand it.”

Dark eyes caught the way Zak’s face flinched a bit, as if he were wounded by Light’s words. Well that did cause somewhat of a stir within him but he just brushed it off on instinct. Aswangs were meant to hunger, not to be guilty. He hated the way that sounded in his head however and just bit down on his lip to reign in the urge he had to shift into a crow and fly for days. To just get away. Maybe it was Spring Fever…or just the urge to rip into another bastard.

The only bastard he cared about destroying.

Glancing back to Zak, he listened dutifully, “Doubtful. Nature does not appeal to me much. If anything I would just snack on the wildlife I would find. And even then this feeling would not go away.” Because he didn’t want it to, not because it couldn’t.

So stubborn.

“What do you mean? What are you satisfied about?”

“If you aren’t too opposed to my asking, what exactly is this feeling? I have currently been researching the multitude of feelings that one can entirely feel and ways to either spur them on, as it were, or to counteract them. Perhaps I can do my best to help you,” Zak said as his eyes turned to Light. “Granted, I have always found relief in nature from being a part of it, though I do suppose that will not be the same for everyone.”
