Private Finished A Shocking Experience

The shadow mage would teleport as he went, he'd been greatly enjoying his abilities since they started to change. He could teleport farther, his healing magic weakness was gone and he wasn't limited to shifting anymore, yes he was very much enjoying his abilities.

He'd appear from a cloud of darkness, the wood of the pier underneath him, water all around, his nose twitching as the smell of salt water hit it. Yes, his aim had been right, he'd stretch, silently proud of how well his power training had been going.

Then he heard a yelp and splash, turning he'd walk to the edge and and look down, a red headed girl has fallen in. "Hold on," shadow tentacles would spring from his back and grab onto the pier, lowering himself down he'd offer her his hand, "you ok?"

He'd blink in surprise when the shock hit him, the Shadow briefly panicking and screaming into James' head, not that anyone else could here. "It's fine," he'd say with a small chuckle, taking a seat on the pier as they talked, "didn't hit anything on the way down did you?"

James would glance around and saw the teens involved had all run off, probably embarrassed at having knocked a pretty girl into the water. The Shadow continued to whine about the shock and this and that, just like a little kid, James would do his best to mentally shush him.

The young shadow mage would blink when he was given another surprise shock, but quickly shrugged it off, wasn't the worse thing in the world. "Anyways, I'm James," he'd say with a playful grin, "hope the shadow tentacles didn't frank you out any."

"Oh a lightning dragon, that's very cool, and much less edgy looking that shadow magic," he'd say with a smile, standing and offering his hand, both to shake and help her up, shocks be damned. "It's good to meet you Xarrah," he'd say with a smile, which was interrupted by another shock, which he again shook you off."

About now the Shadow would be chiming in James head, commenting on it all, telling James to stop flirting and overall being an annoying little shit.

"Want me to track a towel down for you?" he'd ask, realizing she was pretty uncomfortable being all wet, "actually I could teleport back to my dorm and grab one real quick." He'd smile, a little playfully, "unless you'd prefer to air dry."

"Angsty dragons?" he'd ask with a grin, "do they sit on top of castles and brood about down onto the world?" he'd say, clearly joking. He'd ignore another jolt of electricity, not a pleasant thing, but he healed fast, and these shocks weren't damaging anyways.

"Oh, don't worry about it, it's memorable, and I wouldn't call it bad really," he often met people in strange ways, he was quite used to it by now, "a meeting is only bad when it's with a bad person....so far you seem quite nice, bubbly."

He'd tilt his head head when she started to move away a bit, "no worries, it's still warm, you'll dry fast." He'd give her a smile, "I do yeah, started my junior year," he'd grin, "learning all that magical goodness...plus math, but math is bleh."

"Wanna walk with me?" it was cold by any means, but walking might help her dry faster, "we can grab some drinks and a snack if your up for it." She was cute, shocks or no shocks.

James wasn't able to keep a straight face, no he did in fact laugh a bit at that, "now that is an image, big old dragon moaning and groaning like that," it was definitely amusing, picturing a dragon acting like that.

He'd nod, walking towards those shops with her, "the shocks certainly are something," hed get hit by another, "that's why the school is here though, teach you control, it's why I originally came. You should've seen me when I first came here." He'd grin, "used to I had to shift to use my powere...so first day in power class I shift and immediately teleport into a wall," he'd chuckle, "so, me, covered in darkness...sliding slowly down a wall, like out of some cartoon, plus tentacles tripping people." That seemed so long ago, but it was only able two years.

He'd stop once they reached the stands, buying their drinks, asking her what she wanted, giving her a chance to change while they waited for snacks. "How long have you lived here?" he'd ask curiously once she returned, "school's so damn big, been here almost two years but I'm still running into people I hadn't met before."
