SavoRunik Brandt & Kurosawa Emi/Elise
It wasn’t easy to miss when someone made a beeline towards him and he shifted his attention towards the girl, welcoming the prospect of something happening. An eyebrow climbed slightly when he didn’t recognize her and for a moment Runik wondered what he could have done to warrant her attention, but he simply smiled in his seat when she planted a hand onto his desk. Was this supposed to intimidate him? The thought vanished quickly enough when she actually spoke given the stuttering and nervousness. She seemed a bit strange, unused to conversation, and he was never the best judge of character, but he’d give her a chance at the least.
His reply died on his lips when he noticed that she seemed to be lost in her thoughts and no longer focused on him. Definitely odd, but he was still on his feet in an instant to grab her and help keep her steady. “Whoa there, don’t go fainting on me now,” he remarked as he tilted his head curiously. It was hard to tell if she was nervous, simply confused, or both, but she certainly seemed a bit different than but a few moments ago. Combined with what she said earlier, and Runik was fairly confident that he had drawn the right conclusion. “Eli right? Would you like to take a seat?” He nodded towards the empty space on either side of him for emphasis.
----------
She was surprised when he grabbed her arm, she smiled lightly as she gently pulled her arm away and postured herself. “T-thank you” after he said her name, she couldn’t help but feel surprised at the fact that he knew it. I wonder if I told him..? The invitation to sit made her feel a bit happy as she nodded her head and sat down. “Ah.. Umm.. Y-your name?” Feeling a bit rude since he already knew her name, she tilted her head as she waited for a response.----------
He let go of her readily, content that she seemed to have found her footing. Reaching behind him, he pulled the seat that had slid back closer and slumped back into it as she took hers beside him. “Runik Brandt,” he offered, reaching over for a handshake afterwards. “Now, sorry if this is rude, but I don’t suppose you’re a Pythones user or otherwise have some reason to be possessed?”----------
Taking her hand to return the handshake, she looked up as he began to speak. A Phythones user? What did he mean by possessed? Oh. Akito had told her that when she blacked out weird things happened but nothing about being possessed. “N-no.” Her power wasn't something that she was extremely comfortable talking about but she knew she would have to tell him “I-I am a Veranidia u-user. Torture…” Making him feel uncomfortable had been something she didn't wanted to happen.----------
Humming in thought at her reply, Runik didn’t see any need to continue the line of questioning. It would just have to be something he kept in mind around Eli. “Veranidia?” He scratched his head with an expression of confusion since he couldn’t recall anything with that name. From the spell title it seemed to be either a sub-school of Praestigiae or Contritio though. “Interesting, not something I’ve heard of before. Personally I just use Contritio and Naturalis. Lot simpler for someone like me.” He knocked against the side of his head with a grin, miming an empty container. “That aside, you said something about becoming friends? Not that I mind, just curious why.”----------
She felt a bit relieved that he did not know what it was. “Just simple magic.” She said lightly as she laughed a bit at his remark. Her eyes opened a bit wider, stunned at his next words. I couldn't do that… Now, she was getting a bit worried about the fact that she may be possessed. Not that she wasn't happy at the mention of being friends. “W-well… I-I only have one ch-childhood friend here and a r-roommate that I doubt l-likes me…A-awa a sorry…” not knowing quite why she apologized but knew that it was a habit of hers. ----------
Well it might very well have been, but Runik thought otherwise. It wasn’t a big loss if she didn’t want to elaborate since waving it off seemed to help her rel- Well so much for that. There was definitely something up with Eli, and he couldn't deny he was curious. “A childhood friend does sound nice, and come on. Don’t go making others’ opinions for them. You can’t have known them for more than a few ho-” His little pep talk was interrupted by the sound of Mr. Kuruz’s magically enhanced voice echoing through the room and he paused to listen. With a frown, he looked at Eli and then nodded at the door. “Alright, seems like it’s going to be boring. Want to skip?”----------
I am just the fucking nicest person ever. I got Eli a friend who maybe isn't a dick but I don't really know. Elise felt proud of her accomplishment. “S-sure!” Eli smiled, going out with friends was something she never got to do. Well, Aki was someone but the only “going out” they did was on the rare occasions that she went to the park and even then it was more bodyguard than friend. Plus, the real danger was at home. “L-let me just tell A-Aki.”She stood up abruptly and walked over to where he seems to be simply examining everyone. “Aki~ I made a new friend. I'm going to go skip with him since class does not seem to be progressing much...OK?” Looking at him with sad eyes and hoping that he wouldn't complain.
Who the hell was he? He hadn't seem him yet and automatically disliked him. Giving him a harsh glare before he turned back to Eli he exhaled deeply. “I-I can't really oppose… Just be careful and don't get hurt.” He never really liked any guys around Eli, almost like a little lamb being sent out to get killed, for him. Sighing, he watched her leave and turned back to his desk and got out a book.
She walked away happily and went back over to Runik. “Sh-should we go? I-I told him.” With a light smile, she looked into his eyes and waited for him.
----------
Well it was good to see her cheer up at the idea and Runik nodded, guessing Aki was the childhood friend she had mentioned before. He watched her approach the raven haired bespectacled boy and recognized him as a fellow 6th year, but not much more than that. A raised eyebrow met the boy’s harsh glare and he wondered what the problem was. Was the other boy jealous or something? The amusing thought brought a grin to his face and he nodded at Eli once she’d returned, giving Mr. Kuruz one last look before he quietly stood and slipped up the steps towards the doors.
