Who Knew? {Closed}

Music played, fine lips humming the words along with it. Pencils were sprawled out upon the floor, every color of the rainbow lined up. Paper was also upon the floor, a sketch of a husky being worked upon. Eyes would drift up ever so often as to check to see if there were others around, the brown locks of hair still falling around the girl as a pencil continued to move across the page. Letting out a content, purr like noise at the finished picture, it was shoved back into her bookbag.

Standing back up, a thought ran through the girls' mind as she decided upon her next action.

But she got it! It came into her mind, the perfect idea. Looking around for anyone this time, it was decided some company would actually be nice. Continuing to try and scope out the presence for anyone else, the girl released a sigh as there weren't. Beginning to turn back on the music and this time sing, it was fun. "Are you, are you? Coming to the tree, where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three... Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be..." Cutting off at the sound of footsteps, she looked around to find who had entered.

No one actually came through the door, however. Someone had already walked in, careful to be quiet as to not disturb the other student as she listened to her music and drew something on some paper that the Spring couldn't quite see from where she stood. The footsteps could be heard now since she was at close range, having calmly strolled over to get a better view of the picture of a husky. She paid no mind to the fact that the other girl had just realized she was there, possibly wondering what Rei was doing suddenly by her side seemingly studying the drawing for a short moment.

Finally, she looked up at the other student. "You draw a nice puppy." She said, her tone flat as if lacking much thought in her words. Which really, they did. She kind of just spoke what she felt.

But now that the other student could, and now that Mikyla knew that someone was beside her, it sent a wave of surprise into the girl. The other student looked a bit like her, except shorter hair and a different eye color... But the similarities were amazing. Unnatural, basically. Biting her lip, the Spring smiled. "Thanks... It's inspired by something special." That was all she could really say, otherwise it was just another drawing. Pausing the music, she thought on what to do now that there actually was someone there.

"I-I'm Mikyla... What's your name?" Might as well make friends, right? It wouldn't work well being a loner at such a big school, especially when almost every student had a deadly weapon on their side, which couldn't be ridden of.

"Rei." The girl answered, staring blankly up at the other. She looked back at the picture, then back at the girl. "Does your gift have anything to do with dogs?" The Spring was just taking a wild guess here. If she was wrong, that was fine, but something told her that she was close. There was...A sort of aroma around Mikyla that made her think, well, animals in general. Many she didn't even know of.

And suddenly before Mikyla could answer, the little, doll-like girl with her laced school-girl outfit was leaning over and briefly sniffed at the other Spring's arm, then looked off to the side, almost as if she disliked what she found. "Not just dogs...More animals?" She murmured, altering her question, however quietly and still not looking at the other, making it impossible to tell for sure if Rei even meant for her to hear.

Repeating Rei's (say that ten times fast) name in her head several times, Mikyla had a bit of a small smile on her face. The name Rei was short but sweet, much like the candies she ate. They were short-lasting, but so sweet taste. Listening to the question that she was given from the student, she nodded. It did have something to do with dogs, but then again the variety was always a fun trick to play on others. "Y-"

Oh... Okay. That was something new, and what she would have to get used to. Which totally wasn't creepy, but she didn't truly mind. Perhaps Rei's gift had to do with dogs, too? Mikyla didn't really use her gift to the potential it truly could, that being the ability to use traits of animals to her will. Heck, Mikyla could be walking around with ears and a tail! But then again that would be upmost the creepiest thing ever.

Seeming to hear just a tad of what the disappointed student had said, it made Mikyla look down. "Yes." Her own little whisper, it had been taken into account that the other student wasn't too happy to know she could be more than one animal. Was it because of her own gift? "W-What's your gift, Rei? Does it have to do with dogs?"

Ooc: Arm-sniffing ayyeeee

Ic: "A canine, yes." Rei responded, making little circles with her fingers. She seemed to be thinking bout something, but gave no hints as to what. She stayed quiet a moment before stopping her circular motion with her two index fingers, instead touching their tips together.

"I find it a shame that you can turn into many animals rather than one." She murmured, almost a whisper. The Spring slowly looked up at Mikyla with a strangely sympathetic look. "You're not very unique then, are you?"

Ooc: Short post because what is love baby don't hurt me

"It's not my fault! I rarely turn into anything else but a dog anyways!" Mikyla snapped, obviously unhappy with what was said. That wasn't cool in her opinion, sort of bullying her for something she couldn't help. Honestly made her a little pissed, but Mikyla cooled down slightly rather quickly.

"If you have a problem with it, blame my paretns. they're the one who gave me this 'unoriginal' gift." Muttering those words to herself, Mikyla shook her head and put all her colored pencils away. Something she forgot to do, but she needed a distraction. Letting out a sigh, Mikyla once more shook her head.

"What type of canine? Domestic, mythical..." Deciding to pry more on the other girl now, Mikyla looked at her curiously.

Rei tilted her head slightly, a bit confused by Mikyla's anger. She only felt sorry for this student. Why was she yelling? Didn't she just tell her to blame her parents, yet here she was, yelling at a young girl who was sympathetic? The Spring blinked and stopped the head tilt, releasing a small sigh. Fortunately, the other female seemed to calm down quickly. Even as a human, Rei found her quite similar to others. Perhaps she didn't know her unique side yet, if Mikyla had one.

At the question put out or her, Rei glanced up at the other once more, her expression changing back to the blank one she had on before. a poem "The answer to that could be an opinion." She pointed out cooly. "Feral, domestic, mythical...It depends on how you look at it. Some see wolves as a sacred creature, while others eat dogs regularly."

Even if Rei was confused, Mikyla saw things perfectly. Watching the other girl seem a little puzzled, Mikyla's gaze drifted away shortly afterwards. She wasn't all that concerned at the time being, her cooling down process was still going. Even if it was nearly finished, it wasn't completely. Even if she didn't realize her unique side, it still upset her that the other girl evidently seemed to point it out as if it was branded upon her.

Listening to Rei's response, it made her somewhat confused. It didn't really answer her question, making her a little annoyed. But she named all three, which lead her to mythical. Wait... She mentioned both wolves and dogs, what did that mean? Now she was confused. "You didn't answer my question... But mythical?" That was the only one the girl didn't mention, so she took a wild shot at it.

"You pay a lot of attention to detail." Rei responded with a tiny smile. Perhaps this girl was a little unique? No, not quite. There had to be something not in anyone else...Something special. The Spring wasn't ready to answer her question until she could learn a bit more about Mikyla's character. Like a guessing game of sorts. It would be fun, playing a game with this person she had come across. They could get along somewhat.

"Let's play a game." Rei said with a slight change to her tone of voice, making it seem a bit happier and not as dull and lifeless. "I will ask you three questions, and then you will ask me three questions. And we have to answer them, no matter what." She held her hands behind her back, unintentionally making a cute little pose that added to her smile, like you would see toddlers do when asking for candy from their parents.

Her mother had shown her paying attention was always a good thing, even a life saver at some points. Grinning at the other girls' comment, her next statements took her a little off guard. A game? What game? Oh... Sort of like the 'ancient' 20Questions game that everyone around the world still ever so loved? Not that she didn't keep one with her besides her cell phone, of course. Rolling the offer around her head, it seemed tempting.. But would she be tricked into answering more then she wished? That was something she would have to watch out for.

Unamused by the expression put on by the girl, Mikyla nodded. "Why not? I think you'll be starting since you asked though." That was how things went, right? Those who asked went first? Because if not it seemed a little weird, to her it would at least. Logic imprinted the mind of Mikyla, a few years of a diciplinary school taught her that.

The Spring nodded in agreement and held her index finger up. "Question one," Her smile disappeared. "What is your gift?" This question was probably an obvious one, since Mikyla intended to ask about Rei's own gift later, let alone the fact that this was a pretty normal question for students to ask each other in common conversation.

She had briefly thought bout the other two questions she would ask, and wondered what Mikyla might not want to answer. Not that it mattered. She'd have to answer if she wanted to ask all three of her own questions.

Listening to the first question given to her, Mikyla just blinked. Something that simple? It was like 20 questions. Well, it would turn out interesting, none the less. Of course, she had two more questions to be asked before she could ask hers, so that was a little bit of a down fall. Her plan would be to throw that one a little later though, and ask the deeper ones more quickly. She played with her own style, alright? "Animal morphing. Mythical, or real." That was the best part about it, there was no true limitations to what she could shift into as long as she knew what it was.

Her questions were lining up in her head, each one being carefully selected. One for sure could come with an interesting reply, but for now she'd have to wait to get that answer.

Animal morphing... The words echoed in her mind a moment, and Rei pondered on that answer for a moment. "Interesting. But anything mythical is also 'real' if you can turn into it." She murmured half to herself, half in response to Mikyla's answer. The Initiate decided upon her next question.

With a flick of her finger, she now held up two for the second question. "Although you can turn into any living creature, does magic affect it? Or, perhaps it is just the physical form you acquire." The young girl used her opposite hand to point to a small, yellow bird outside a nearby window. "Say, if that bird had the ability to breathe fire due to magic rather than a physical flame pouch or some kind of flint on in its mouth. Would you gain that ability as well?" Of course she wasn't being serious about the bird suddenly breathing fire, but was using an example. Aside from that question, she also wondered if it took time for the other student to learn how to use each animal form, and if there were a few that she possibly couldn't control at all, even if she worked at it enough. Not that she would ask those questions. She already had her third question set in her mind since they began.

OOC; SHE'S BEING SMART AGAIN. BURN HER.

IC;

Puzzled by what she said, (Implying that your average Kitty is sick and can't comprehend what Rei is saying) Mikyla had to think for a moment. Having a blank expression on her face for a bit, Kyla couldn't really answer. "That aspect... I'm not entirely sure." It was an honest answer, she had no clue. That was something that would have to be tested later though, it would be interesting to figure out. Heck, if she could, that would only make things even better when it came to pranking. More things to do, right? Well, to think about it, a dragon. They are believed to breathe fire, so she should be able to, correct? Her brow furrowed in attempt to think whether or not it could happen.
ooc; there I posted but it's crappy mkay kthnxbai
