The Long Lost

@Kaiyo

Did she even work here anymore?

It was a question that Aurora had tried to come to terms with since she had arrived back on the island about a month ago. There were new students, new teachers, new...everything. And for once, the mage found that she wasn't coping well with the change. Nobody knew her anymore, nobody cared, and she had let the relationships that she once held dear slip back to acquaintances. Aurora was going to live a long time, and yet that human part of her preferred the now. Maybe it was something she would have to get rid of.

"You are distressed."

Aurora was snapped out of her thoughts, and glanced over at Cytus, who was now staring back at her with quite blank eyes. The pair had been sitting in the admissions office for some time. Aurora visited the Aenari from time to time to check up on her while she did her work sorting through papers at a rate faster than most humans.

"Huh? No I'm no-- okay, I'm just a little. Nothing terrible though."

It wasn't worth trying to argue with Cytus. The lady was a natural lie detector, and even if you did, lying to her would have been pointless. Cytus, despite her young age was probably one of the best confidants that Aurora could ask for. She could easily keep a secret, and was as objective as any being she'd ever met. It was honestly the perfect combination.

"You have an appointment."

"What? No I..."

"A tour. To distract you away from your stressed thinking. Her name is Kaiyo Arashi. She will be here in a moment."

Aurora was in disbelief. If Cytus was capable of being smug, this would have been her way of showing it. Either she was playing a joke, or legitimately trying to help her out. Aurora couldn't be angry...it was probably the second.

"Alright alright. I'll do it. Be back in a bit."

Aurora walked out into the lobby in deep blue mage robes adorned with golden thread. The hood lay on her back, and her hair let down. It was the new year...it shouldn't be too hard to find a single student would it?

"Kaiyo?"

Sometimes I feel like I want to be alone...to vanish from sight.But what I actually want , is someone to just hold me and tell me everything will be alright. A person who can say the pain was just as nice as a small cut upon soft flesh. They say that once a bird is trapped behind the cages restricting bars they lose their spirit. That might be more fact then some silly rumor made by cruel people. Kaiyo shifts her light green gaze upon the soft feathers of the common raven. It had just perched upon the furthest edge of the roof top and takes took a moment looking out the small window staring at it. There was no pain nor sorrow in that creatures gentle eyes.

"I get hurt...really hurt and when that happens something dies inside me. I feel as if I am on the edge and there is no end in sight. Tearing every part of me away until all that is left is the monster...."

The face she wore this morning was not one she normally used around others to push them away but rather the pain behind the mask. She never wants to show what she really felt or to bother others with her true face. Ever since she was little she lived in a cage of hiding her emotions behind a face crafted by her past . What was proper and correct held more importance then being normal. What was normal in a world built on corruption and destruction? Kaiyo shakes off her drifting thoughts before opening up the door to the roof top. At that moment the door made a click behind her small frame the raven took flight. Leaving her alone on the vacant roof of the academy...as she truly desired. Its soars through the distant sky towards the cheery blossom trees. Taking a moment to her self finally free to let the past fade and yet never truely forgetting how a sweet dream could quickly turn into a terrible nightmare. She takes her leave of the peace walking back into the school to meet up with the person assigned to show her around the place. Would she find friends here? Would it be safe here? Upon re-entering the schools lobby Kaiyo sneaks a single sweet tart into her mouth.

"Kaiyo?"

Turning slowly Kaiyo gaze falls upon a strange woman in a mage robe Yep this was surely some twisted form of hogwarts. She took a moment to look over the woman before speaking up in her normal shy tone.

"Here..."

Aurora thought she was the time mage around here, but for some reason or another, Cytus was always on the ball with her appointments. Perhaps she had already known that Kaiyo was in the building, and was simply awaiting her time for a tour. That had to be it. Sure, Cytus could see through subspace, but not through time.

That was her shtick.

Aurora was somewhat reminded of herself in Kaiyo. They were roughly the same height and build, and her initial personality was like that of when she was younger as well. Quiet, introverted, and not really one to speak unless spoken to. What Aurora didn't get was the fire that she had had behind those eyes. The fire where Thirteen had wanted to kill someone if she'd been wronged.

The mage was thankful for that at least. Those days were long behind, and she didn't need another feisty student trying to murder someone in their sleep.

"My name is Aurora Silivasi-Awren. I'm a...curator of sorts here at the Academy. Your admissions officer asked that I perform your tour today. If you have time of course."

Aurora had learned from doing this a few times that students had differing levels of an attention span when doing these tours, so she tried to be flexible around their schedules. Sometimes they got through only a couple of rooms...sometimes the whole school. It varied quite a bit. Additionally, she had omitted that she was one of the school's directors. Or at least, possibly used to be.

"If you don't want a tour, I'm at your service for the next hour in case you want to simply talk, have questions, or otherwise wish to go and do something specific."

That was not actually part of the tour, but Aurora herself was honestly up for anything at this point. The tour was fun, but going around naturally would likely put her in a better mood...as if it wasn't her job to do so.

"And welcome to Starlight Academy."

"My name is Aurora Silivasi-Awren. I'm a...curator of sorts here at the Academy. Your admissions officer asked that I perform your tour today. If you have time of course."

It was not like Kaiyo has much of a choice when your only options are to keep running until youre killed or come to a place you have no idea really where and things are strange. It might even not be hogwarts but there are things about this place one knew was far from normal. So the Academy sent a person to show her around the place ...well thats better then trying on her own and getting lost . She gives the woman in mage robs - which are still strange- a gentle smile. -I ...have the time ...not much else to do..-

"If you don't want a tour, I'm at your service for the next hour in case you want to simply talk, have questions, or otherwise wish to go and do something specific."

Kaiyo takes a moment to think about anything else she could do but the tour. Not that it would help her understand the large school. More that she felt like she was trapped in a prison while surrounded by brick and glass. Fumbling into her candy bag that was only half empty kaiyo smiles sweetly. There just might be one other thing she'd like to do .... go on a walk around the city more because there had to be a sweet shop somewhere around here. Unless they were a bunch of health freaks...that would not be good at all. Looking back to the woman she tried to reply in a proper manner but it came out a bit weak.

"Umm...if this is not to much to ask but I have yet to look around town and schools make me feel like I am in a cage..."

Not just quiet, but she seemed to either have a case of claustrophobia or social anxiety. It was a relatively normal thing to have when coming to the school. If you had been used to your normal run of the mill English or math courses, Starlight would quickly take you by surprise. Many students knew that innately. There was much more freedom, but there was also a lot more going on that would easily make a student nervous. Even a teacher sometime.

"We can do that, it's a bit out of the way, but I think we can manage. One moment."

Aurora peered back into the office where Cytus was, not bothering to go in, but instead simply speak from the doorway.

"Cytus, could you have a car outside? We're going to go into town...thanks."

No words from the alien, just a light nod. If anything, you'd think she wasn't listening. Knowing her however, there was already a waiting vehicle. Aurora quietly closed the door and turned back to Kaiyo, nodding in the direction of the car, quietly asking her to walk with.

"That takes care of that. We should head outside so we don't keep them waiting. Anyway. Tell me, how long have you been on the island, and when do you start here? Have you any interests?"

May as well get the small talk started, it was about a ten minute drive into the local town, and given that her charge was slightly on the less talkative side, getting her to speak would be something of a challenge. Starting early was probably the best course of action.
