'Quiet' time

Octain had be discharged from the hospital and had been to work for a short period of time, having people to move things around for him due to some of the strenuous injuries he had. Though it was nice to be back to work as he took his lunch break to go up onto the Tower to sit down with a nice book. Taking up a lawn chair with him that was easy to fold and carry around as he placed it down. Close to the chain link fence that was around the area he was in. Though it wasn't like the courtyard. He admired the birds eye view that he had of the school grounds from there. As well as the view of the Forest.

Taking some time to sit in the chair and look out the fence he took a deep breath and released it as he opened up a novel. Slowly opening the new book where he could dive into a new world as if it was this one. Though recently. He could probably find a way to turn it into a movie of something as he began to read.

Just to enjoy some peace and quiet for once. Maybe. Though he wouldn't say no to company...

Octain was reading a book by 'Tellios Vulcanis' called "The Dogma of Dragons'. It was an interesting book that Octain got a first copy of due to his assistance in the matter. Octain's eyes almost to into the book as he can imagine it all before he was taken out of the world by a voice that shattered his illusion. Looking up to the person who had spoke to him.

It was obviously a student as he slowly placed a bookmark in the page he was on. Placing the book on his own satchel as he stood up.

"Tis such a nice day out that some outside reading from my office would be nice. Or even lunch." He said as he looked at his backpack with prepared lunch from Lexi and Genesis. All home made for him. He looked at the girl once more as he couldn't recognize her on the spot. "Forgive me for asking, I have not seen you in my classes, yet you know my name. What would be your name?"

He said. Even though his orange eyes and his mask were as all intimidating as they say, his voice was calm and almost too soothing for his own good. The cloak's hood over his head to hide his hair.

"Would you care to join me for lunch? It is nice to see some new faces after being discharged from the hospital." He spoke. Looking out into the distance.

"Indeed. The sun is a welcomed sight in my eyes. A radiant ball to show us all the beauty of nature." He said. Closing his eyes as he ran a thumb over his spell book. He was enjoying the time in sun that he wasn't allowed for since the winter. He wasn't allowed out at all as he then looked over at Adelene. Who looked like she snapped back to reality from.. Something.

Probably it was like everyone else. How Octain ate his lunch or drank from his tea cups he had placed all around the classrooms. It was rather simple really...

"Well, I imagine that I am the least forgettable." He said touching his mask with his finger. It was a prominent trait about him that.. Most people loved or hated. Some people hated his mask, others... Actually wanted more masks. He was debating on getting his class do make variations of his mask for the school fair for fun. "Though I am like that with some students who have crossed my path and have shared some tales, then parted."

Octain noticed that she was not phased by what tales of Octain. how most people feared him. Though. It wasn't that he wanted to be feared. It was just the mask. Maybe he would try taking it off sometime. See where that takes him though.. He felt like he needed it at this point. Felt.. Odd when it was off.

"Regardless company is nice in any situation." He said. Pulling out a small lunchbox with a note inside of it. From Lexi and Genesis as he smiled brightly under his mask. "Oh you two.." he said as folded the note and put it in a pocket. He adjusted his mask and ominously the shadow from the sun hid his fast as he took a bite from it. Chewing it slowly as he heard her talk again. Swallowing what he ate he talked again. "This is a nice spot to be during the day. All that is needed is a little lemonaid stand up here and it would perfect. I've jumped off here once or twice. Got flown back up here. This place is riddled with magic I could have only dreamed of. A wizards true paradise.." He said taking another a bite and chewing. Swallowing with a bit a grin.

"Adelene.. A man will do odd things for those he cherishes with in his heart. I.. During winter through a blizzard someone I care for got lost." he said. Though.. It wasn't entirely true as she was more or less doing it of her own free will and was leaving the school during hibernation due to how the lady was with the arcane. "I found her. Left my cloak. It can keep a person's temperature and body heat for a long period of time. When I was returning.. I had lost my way and found myself lost within the grasp of winter. Next thing I knew. I was in a hospital." He said confidently. Like it was the right thing to do. To him. No one could tell what he did was wrong. He helped someone who could have used the warmth more than he could have.

He slowly began eating his sandwich while his mouth wasn't busy talking. Trying to sate his hunger with the food given to him. it was really good. Just had some oddities he had never tasted before.

"Indeed. Sharing tales is a great way to understand someone with out asking questions. Find out their hobbies, what they do for a living or in general what kind of a person they are." He said. he was still taking his time eating and found that.. Adelene was one of the only people who didn't stare at Octain while he was eating.

He had a smile on his face it was nice not having people looking at his face as he finished his sandwich and began to drink from a water bottle as he pulled it away from a sigh.

"Quite possibly. Though.. It depends on the person. Some would have just let them walk out. Others hunt and some worry. Either way. I do not with to drag down such a beautiful day." he said as he looked over at Adelene after adjusting his mask. "What courses are you taking?" He said curiously. Trying to make some small talk as he himself moved from the chair to fence. Seeing the school grounds before him. Of students rushing about from place to place with out a care in the world or in a rush.

"I see. Explains a lot about yourself. You have a gift of being able to calculate your bullets. Which is a good power indeed. Should the need to utilize those archaic tools should arise." He said nodding after everything she said about her course and powers. Taking his hand to his chin. Trying to see if there was a way for him to create a gun that would shoot compressed magic in a form that would not kill, but stun and or knock out. Eventually snapping out of his own little world he looked at Adelene.

"Some say that Science is magic that can be understood. Created by mans hand." He said with a bit of smile. His eyes looking out into the distance. Trying to get a grasp how to explain the Adelene about magic. "
Well, all are welcomed into my class magical or not. The knowledge you gain is powerful. The more knowledge you have the more you will understand the world around you. Knowing your peers can help you understand what some of them go through. Many with magic can control their powers. Others cannot." He said turning his body to Adelene, holding his hand out and chanting for a moment before a fire appeared in his hand, which slowly turned into the Earth, slowly spinning in his hand.

"I cannot give you a clean definition of how it feels to have magic. For me, it is like a fire that burns on the inside of you. Keeping you warm and driving you towards your next goal. Knowing a higher power than you is always keeping you safe." He said placing his other hand over his heart. "A powerful surge of energy. Coursing through your veins at each cast of a spell. Much like adrenaline though.. More potent and less destructive to the human body."

He then move the small creation of the earth he had created. Moving his hand to push it towards Adelene for her to hold. "Magic is the earth. All of her beauty and those who dwell upon her. They are all bound to the ground we walk. The waters in which we swim. The path we all travel." He then smiled under his mask. His mask menacing though his eyes were calming. "Though some are with out magic.. Some are born into it. Some learn it. You are a child of the Arcane. As long as you breath." He said looking out at the area once more. "Everything you see here... Is a child of the Arcane's love and affection. Her gift unto us isn't the gift of being able to cast spells, transform. It's the life. The earth in which she has given us..." He stopped himself as he looked at Adelene. "Forgive me.. I tend to rant on about my theories." He said taking his hand over his heart to place it on his spell book. Though it was a piece of him, to many it was a tool. To him, it was his life and only companion in this game of life.
