bridging the gap of centuries

It had been a relatively slow day, all things considered. The Personification of a Tarot Card had not received any patients in the infirmary at the Academy, at least not in his portion. He healed far more major injuries, which were generally from mishaps with practicing powers and any other unfortunate impacts that came with what they did there. It was rather entertaining sometimes, hearing the stories that came from the students as they sniffled through their treatments. There had not been stories that shocked him, but ones that reminded him of his old adventures when he wandered across the world. Ah, he had started to feel nostalgic.

So, with not much going on, he wandered through the hallways in search of some kind of entertainment. His cards sat in his hand, as he flicked them back and forth between his hands. Maybe he could do some divination, but for whom? It was a school day, was it not? Videntis had almost always been bad at figuring out what day it was, with the whole calendar thing. He just kind of went with whatever happened during the day - and he was starting to get the hang of it!

It was most certainly a surprise when someone approached him, and not vise versa. He stopped, and turned around with the cards stopping their playing with the deck. Electric blue eyes lit up with delight at the sight of a familiar face. Videntis lived long enough to see the same eyes in different people, but the same face? Oh, it was a lucky day indeed. Everyone who reincarnated always was on a new path and unfortunately they did not cross each other as often as he would have liked.

"Madame Tarantula!" Chirped the male, a smile crossing the sharped features. "I am. I have been hired as a healer for the Academy. Why did you not write me that you too were hired here? I would have come much sooner! It has been far too long since you have written me."

Was that familiarity in his voice? The two had not met before this day, had they? And yet, he spoke to her as if they had been friends for centuries.

Delight briefly turned into confusion as the woman explained that she knew nothing of him. They had not met? Nonsense! He would recognize her face anywhere! The tarot card actively attempted to remember the faces of those who were around him, especially those who left quite an impression - generally those who were apart of the supernatural portion of the world. Those were almost always his favorites, since they always had such a delightful view on the world about them. Humans became so monotone after quite some centuries.

"Ah, Madame. I have hailed from almost every place. I have reincarnations, I have told you before." He smiled despite the fact that their meeting had been denied. It had been quite some time since their last meeting, so he figured it plausible that she would forget - especially since she now worked at an Academy that rotated its students yearly.

Videntis' put his cards away, and kept his smile. "Allow me to re-introduce myself." He placed his hand over his heart and bowed slightly, never breaking eye contact with the woman. "Videntis. I represent the High Priestess Tarot Card, as they call it now. I am a follower of the God of Prophecy, Apollo." He introduced himself, before standing at his full height. "We met long ago. Five hundred, six hundred years perhaps. Time is so peculiar now, with how humans view it."

The male simply raised his hand and dismissed the apology with a chipper expression. "No need to apologize. Out of all of the things I have learned over my lifetime, I suppose that escaped my findings. I apologize for not looking further into it. But, such is life." He smiled, letting his hands fall back to his side before smoothly slipping to clasp behind his back.

As she curtseyed in return, the healer bowed his head in return as he had already bowed. Old habits died hard, however this was not necessarily a habit he wanted to give up.

"As do I." He agreed, before turning slightly and making a motion. "Would it be too forward to ask that we perhaps take a walk and perhaps catch up? If you have other things to be doing, I do not wish to keep you." He asked. Catch up would be more on his part, given he knew her some time ago. But this would also give a chance for her to ask him about a myriad of things about him.

Neither party seemed pestered by it at this point. Neither could be held at fault - Videntis did not seem to know and Madame Tarantula could not control losing her memories after her time. As the woman fell into step with him, he returned to walking through the hallways. His cards returned to his hands to keep them occupied, just moving them back and forth between themselves, shuffling occasionally.

"Ah, I am still on my quest to bring the world of the God of Prophecy to the modern world. I just wandered, staying at temples and shrines of those who would take me." He hummed, giving a smile to the woman. "The Academy... It felt right, as they say. This island is an epicenter for the supernatural. But also for those looking to find their way, find their balance. This island drew me. The school needed more healers... I can heal. I can help the youth heal physically, and maybe help others heal mentally."

The High Priestess looked down to the cards in his hands, contemplating for a moment. "And may I ask what has drawn you to the Academy?"
