Fresh, crisp and delightful with the fresh blue sky. The forest was so beautiful and the morning songs of the birds seemed to fill every inch of the wooded area. Still despite all the beauty surrounding him Armon could not enjoy it for a second.
The tired look plastered on his face making it clear he had yet to stop for the night. It seemed like lately all he did was wander about. With no new leads to the person he was so intently seeking. Staring aimlessly into the darken shadows of the forest.
It was a forest, filled with life. On any normal day this place would bring such peace to Armon, at least what little he could allow himself to have. Not today though. Armon was far to lost in thought to even let the beauty break his sadness.
Calling out with a genital sigh he glanced up for a moment or too running his hands over his face and into his air. Trying to break the tired feeling from his body now.

((OOC: And Etheric refuses to switch accounts. 'Cuz he's lazy.))
"You should get some rest," Kiashi's young voice sounded from behind Armon. "You look ready to fall over," she finished with a small laugh.
Tall and perhaps too thin, short stark white hair competed with vibrant blue eyes for attention among light clothing and visible weaponry. She strode less than gracefully toward the man she had noticed some short time ago. With what luck was she able to find another wandering soul in this gallows of a forest? She wouldn't let this opportunity of company and aid escape while she had the chance.

The last thing Armon was expecting to hear was a voice, let alone a females. The break in the forest silence did startle him, but Armon refused to let that be known.
His eyes did shoot open as he heard the voice, but with his back to the person they wouldn't be able to tell.
I must be tired... How did I not notice her? He thought to himself.
Even if he didn't take notice the forest should have warned him. This only meant that is connection with the elements was lacking as of late.
Turning toward the voice Armon's green eyes met with the person walking toward him. An interesting person to find in the forest. So well equipped this woman still seemed to have a gentle aura about her. Much like Armon's own sorrowful one he couldn't seem to rid himself of.
"There will be enough rest when I am dead." Armon answered back facing the person now as they walked toward him.
It was at that moment his lack of sleep took over his mind. Maybe he was on the right path and that person knew he was closing in. does that mean this lonely woman in the middle of no where was sent to destroy him?
His hand shifting lightly under his cloak to the handle of the dagger. Not completely sure but still not willing to act until a threat was posed.
"What is a young thing like you doing way out here?" He asked with his stone cold face as usual.

How morbid of an answer it was, one she wasn't expecting. A cold voice and wary hand wasn't the greeting she had been hoping for. Usually, she had some attitude dealing with people, but she didn't know how much of a threat this stranger may be.
Her eyes lowered and seemed submissive as she answered him. Her pace slowed to a stop several feet away from him. "I'm just looking around," - it wasn't entirely a lie - "What are you doing?

Armon kept a steady glance at her as she answered him. His hand easing slightly from the dagger resting at his side. Having heard her question he wasn't quick at all to answer.
Instead looking away and glancing into the pieces of lightening sky between the breaks in the tree tops.
"Nothing is more beautiful then a place so full of natural life." He said spoken like a true Mystic of his clan. "It is peaceful here, makes it easier to think. Clearing the mind it simple in such a place away from other people." He said again looking back to her. That might not have been the full reasoning for his presence in the forest, but it was true.
Taking a few steps closer to her Armon drew his arm cross his chest and bowed to her.
"Forgive my behavior, but it is not likely to wander upon other people in a place like this. One can never be to cautious.... My name is Armon Schiefer." he said raising again to look at her. Extending his hand in a friendly manner.
"And you are?"

She took his hand, seeming a little more confident now. "Kiashi Torak, of the Durai." She even smiled a little bit as she said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Armon. You seem quite the introspective soul."
She remembered quickly what he had said before, 'a place away from other people,'. Thinking upon this for a second, she asked, "...Would you like me to leave you alone?"

As Kiashi took his hand Armon like a gentleman would brought it close to his lips placing a soft kiss on the back of her hand.
"The pleasure is mine." Even if his tone was very flat he was at least acting like he was refined in some way. Releasing Kiashi's hand he looked around slightly at the early morning.
"We are just outside the deepest part of this forest. No one just 'looks around' way out here. " He said making note to her reasoning for being out in the woods like this.
"And you don't seem fright despite the stories the locals tell." He pointed out again yet never coming out to say just what he meant with it all.
"It wouldn't really matter now if you left me a lone or not. I would be more aware of you anywhere in this place. You might as well stick around." Armon suggested trying not to make his phasing seem so direct in saying he wouldn't mind the company.

Far up in the dense trees of the Ilrion Forest, Leo Miazaki, exiled child of the Tosaka Clan, can be vaguely seen. Leo had always been fond of high places, and is typically seen on top of something like trees plenty times. And it gives him a chance to get away from people. Especially from the also exiled criminals in the Outpost.
"Call me hypocritical," came his deep, yet slightly young voice, "but I shouldn't be exiled like those creeps." He stretched as he yawned and rolled over to look down at the ground of the forest.
Finally finding the bottom he noticed two beings in the forest. One was a man, who seems rather tired. Reasons for being tired, there can be multiple reasons, lack of sleep is the reason, but how? Always being chased? No, wait, that's my reason. There's the fact that he needs to find someone, then there's the fact that he can't, or shouldn't sleep. Leo cocked his head to the side as he thought this.
He shrugged and looked over to the second being, a girl. She's tall, maybe almost as tall as Leo. But she's also quite thin. Like she maybe had not eaten in forever or something. White hair and blue eyes, quite a pretty combo, and light clothing, unlike Leo's dark and armored clothing.
Leo studied the two. It was interesting seeing anyone in theforest so casually. Leo is even surprised of himself for hanging around in this forest like a huge house. So he shouldn't be hypocritical over that.
The two had only made introductions. Leo would've loved to go to them and make himself known, but he's not like that. He's more like one that would have people talk to him as opposed to him talking to them. And there's one prim reason why, he doesn't want to make friends because he doesn't want to kill anymore loved ones.
But, apparantly, this is the only exception:
Leo stood up and started to walk down to the thinner potion of the thick tree branch, for he was going to leave the two alone until -
CRACK!
Most of the times, tree branches would stay put for him, but this time, it just snapped off, sending Leo downwards at an alarming rate. If he hits the ground at the height he was at now, he can surely die. He thrusted his left hand downwards as his crest of telekinesis glowed. "Teriknien!" Leo cried as an invisible force surrounded himself. "Orac nideine!" This version of the telekinesis crest can allow Leo to hover for a short amount of time, and that's just what happened.
He was able to hover just above the two, just before land rather ungracefully to another tree branch above them. Sitting upon the branch he smiled, trying to pretend he's just a clumsy teenager passing through. "Sorry about that, the brach above me broke." He said in a goofy manner. "There's no need to worry about if I'm alright because I am fine."
Well that made no sense! Leo yelled into his head.
"So, the name's Leo Miazaki..." He cocked his head to the side and smiled. "May I have your names?" It doesn't feel normal, being one to be introducing himself first. He wished that he was at the bottom and they came falling towards him. Or them finding him as opposed to him finding them.

"Well, I - " Kiashi began to answer Armon before being interrupted by a loud crack and a chaotic mess of noise from above. Kiashi looked up, startled as the young man crashed through the trees and nearly landed on her and her new acquaintance. Her mouth was a bit agape with confusion as this kid not much older than her fell then floated onto a tree branch. Such an odd contrast between his pale skin and dark clothing, he almost matched the descriptions of villains from stories of her childhood.
Should this man be someone she would worry about? He was certainly awkward in the way he introduced himself. And how long had he been up in the trees, watching? Was he following someone? He seemed friendly enough, though.
"...Kiashi Torak of the Durai," she answered cautiously with a raised eyebrow and her neck craned to see him. She looked back at Armon with the same confused and suspicious look before returning her gaze to Leo.

Armon was more then aware of the other one long before he had seen them. Being a brother to nature gave him that kind of advantage. As Leo introduced himself Armon rolled his eyes. There was another one now, and though the thought of asking about the person he was searching for had crossed his mind. Armon never did ask these people couldn't possible know anything about the creature he was following, well trying to follow.
Waiting for Kiashi to introduce herself, he did so next.
"Armon" he said plainly not giving the gentlemen like introduce he had to Kiashi. "It might be me but this forest seems to be getting more crowded by the seconds." He added slightly annoyed at this point. Still his comment was slight over casted by the sound of thunder or at least something that sounded like thunder booming above them.
Armon glance up taking notice to the pure bluish skies peeking through the trees. It was rather unsettling for some reason.
"Now that we all know each other, it might be a wise thing to move along." He said looking to Kiashi wondering if she was going to tag along nor not before starting off in the direction he as headed before.
