Guidance for the newly arrived

To her it seemed mundane and normal, to him it was anything but. His eyes filled with wonder and curiosity, "this is amazing, and you get to see this every day. You've been very lucky."

He looked to her, in his happy excited mood, his demonic features began to show, with his fangs popping up, and his ears be coming pointed, "a year and a half, so you're used to it all."

"I bet you have amazing powers," he said with a small grin, as his horns and tail appeared. "My powers are a bit strange......," he stopped as they passed a window, catching a glimpse of his reflection. "I-I'm sorry," feelings of embarrassment and fear. "Sorry Emily....I..I didn't mean too," now the fear wasn't really for her potential reaction though that was part of it, it was fear of himself, of what he could become. For in the back of his mind he was terrified he'd end up just like his father, Mephistopheles.

He coughed nervously, feeling a bit guilty, taking a breath he focused, and demonic features slowly faded, "sorry again Emily," he said feeling ashamed

He looked to her as she touched his shoulder, looked in her eyes, and saw that she wasn't afraid. The look in his own eyes softened a bit, "I.....," he didn't know what to say. She was the first person to react calmly to demonic features besides the scout, this girl he had just met.

A soft, calm smile crossed his face, "thank you Emily," he said, with honest gratitude in his voice. "You're......you're very kind," it had been near impossible to have any sort of relationship because of the circumstances of his life, no real friendships, definitely no romance. Perhaps that could change here, "guess I'm not the only one here with horns here eh," he said with a grin trying to lighten the mood.

The fear was still there, a bit duller, but fear of what he could become was something that wouldn't fade right away. "If they don't bother you....," taking a breath he let his horns appear though he decided to keep his tail hidden, he was a little afraid someone might step on it.

He didn't day it out loud, but he intended to repay her kindness somehow, "so, if you don't mind me asking, but what kind of powers do you have?"

"You think so?" he asked, surprised whe she said his horns looked good, he even blushed a bit. "Thank you," he reiterated with a grin as they continued."

"Nah, it's not that I don't like them," he smiled, "just....not used to not having them out." He chuckled and glanced at her "yet here I am, horns in full view, talking to a very cute girl." Okey he might be flirting just a bit now, but it was friendly, no heavy flirting.

"An empath, that's really cool," he looked to her, "so back there.....you felt all that?" there was no anger, just curiosity and a little concern for her, "I'm sorry," he smiled, "I am grateful for what you said though. So, what do emotions taste like? A fortune teller...like tarot card?"

"Yea, I don't have to hide them anymore," it was strange, but good, not having to hide a part of his body. "It's nice," as he calmed his tail unconsciously appeared, it swayed calmly back and forth.

He smiled at her, "that sounds truly amazing," it was unlike anything he'd ever heard of, "must be useful." She had been able to calm him when he had seen his reflection, when he'd seen his demon side, no one had been able to do that before, "bitter? I guess that makes sense."

"To see a glimpse into the future," he grinned, "you're very talented Emily." This girl seemed special, "what classes do you have? I have some catching up to do with my lessons."
