It was there that he was able to feel the hustle and bustle and good energy of the place. There were always all kinds of people here. All kinds of magi. His people. Sometimes, he was amazed that such a place as Haven could exist within Ethea's more harsh teachings. He walked from stall to stall, looking at what the different people had to sell. Some of the more promising stalls, he put in orders with. He liked to stock his store with some of what was being sold. Mostly he bought non-perishables, or dried herbs. That way, even if he didn't get as much business, the stuff would still be good. You didn't just get food at a farmer's market. There were some particularly good soaps being made, as well as a variety of other goods, like woven baskets or jewelery. Aaron enjoyed supporting local craftsmen and craftswomen. He wore a set of saddlebags to carry some of his purchases, along with his scimitars hanging off the belt on him between his horse body and his human torso. He generally didn't leave home without them, as they ended up being conversation starters that led to combat training business sometimes.
He navigated the stalls carefully, trying not to knock anything over. With his centaur backend, it was a very difficult thing to do. In a corner of the market was some buskers, with guitars. They were really quite good Aaron was pretty impressed. He moved over there, as there was more space. He stood there, only at a distance so he wouldn't block anyone's view. Yet another problem when you were seven feet tall and half horse. On the plus side, he could see a whole lot of the farmer's market from his height. He tossed a twenty dollar bill in the container in front of the buskers, and they grinned at him, one of them tipping their hat to him. A good few of the musicians knew Aaron by name by now. He was generous with them, and the fact he was a centaur sort of set him apart. He liked being a face people looked forward to seeing around.
Some of the people watching the buskers were even dancing now. It was a wonderful thing to be part of, honestly. He looked around for magi who might want to join in on the fun but might be hesitating. Aaron liked bringing in people, and them being strangers never stopped him from doing it.

The mechanic had been staying away from Dagos lately due to the current political climate. Both her employees and students seemed genuinely concerned for her safety to the point they made her agree to move to Haven temporarily until everything was calm once more in Dagos. Unfortunately this also meant that she would have to leave a majority of her equipment within Dagos. It had been a whole week since that instance and within that time she came to a frightful realization. That her own paranoia and anti-social tendencies have gotten her several of estranged looks by many people she used to know prior to moving away from Haven. The mechanic had gotten so used to hiding her magi traits that a few other magi had mistaken her for a human. Then when they discover that she’s hiding it every so often she can hear a rather... rude remark to put it politely. It was funny that no matter where she went whether it was Haven or Dagos that within both cities people loved to gossip. This became especially relevant with the blade she had recently been carrying with her wherever she went. Despite the fact she kept Garm sheathed and relatively out of sight with her illusions, the few that knew of the blade’s history were only able to think ill or distrustful thoughts of her. In truth her own career and previous disconnect with the liberation movement didn’t help with her own public image with the more nature bound magi. No matter the few whispering voices she heard as she walked through the farmer’s market Rynth would find some time to enjoy herself. As she walked through the market streets, Rynth had spotted a fine few food vendors. Most of which didn’t have any of the luxury foods that she’d find in Dagos, but it was too hard to resist the growl in her stomach. After purchasing a loaf of sourdough bread and beef jerky she continued on her way until she heard some music playing not too far from her. Having nothing else to do she decides to investigate it. Upon arriving at the source of the music Rynth was pleasantly surprised as she saw a few people dancing on the street. ‘At least Haven always remained this lively.’ She thought to herself before she realized an especially curious magi…. It took her a moment to realize that what she saw in front of her was real… a magi that was best described as a centaur. Awestruck, Rynth kept attempting to tear her gaze away from him. Unfortunately it seemed that she herself was failing to do so until she thought he might have seen her staring. Keeping her head turned away from him and at the dancers trying to keep her thoughts a bit more organized. Aaron |

It wasn't something new for him. He was a centaur for pete's sake. It was something he had grown used to, even if a lot of the time he didn't like to experience it. That aside, he couldn't really tell if it was completely curiosity about his magi traits, or if they wanted to join in somehow. Aaron made his way through the crowd to the person, who was now trying to conceal that they had been staring.
"Haven't seen you around before. And it's alright to look. My magi traits are unusual. There's no way to hide them without illusions. As long as you don't touch and you're not rude, I don't mind." Aaron had been having fun at the farmer's market, but he knew a lot of the people. That didn't mean he didn't like to get to know new people though. He was unsure of whether they were magi or not, but it didn't really matter to him. He understood that some in Haven had a habit of looking for magi traits and anyone who hid theirs was judged. Aaron didn't judge them. He knew the attitudes elsewhere could be harsh, and it was only natural that it took time for people to get used to it. He had no idea if the person before him was male or female, never mind magi, cyborg or human. But it was something he'd been thinking about since meeting an android.

Despite any attempt to restrain her gaze her own curiosity was slowly getting the better of her with the most mundane of questions. ‘Did have horse sized bed? Were his parents of similar magi traits? Is he technically half naked right now? Does he need horse shoes? Do horseshoes hurt? Just how exactly does he deal with moving about indoors? Has anyone ever rode on his back before? Is it rude to ride on his back…. Maybe if we ask nicely he’ll let us? Or maybe he’ll just give us a weird look’…. Eventually after the initial flow of questions she decided to maybe use an illusion to have an image of her keep a locked gaze upon the dancers, while she continued to visually analyze the subject in mind… ‘Yes this was socially acceptable plan.’ Rynth had thought to herself as she used her illusions to keep her thoughts in place. Turning her head as she suddenly saw and heard the centaur who was now right in front of her. Causing enough of a jolting reaction to have her lose a bit of her concentration for her illusion. As the original image she had used to hide away her intent to examine folded away from reality piece by piece before revealing Rynth in her human form still. “I…. uh I wasn’t thinking about touching.” she spoke out hesitantly, but her own thought made a small retort to herself. ‘Although riding the guy is technically touching.’ Rynth was quick to shut out her own thoughts. “Forgive me for staring… it was rather… peculiar that your magi traits are far more pronounced that most.” She with a rather soft analytical tone. Rynth had taken at least once a month to visit her students within haven… the fact she hasn’t met this individual intrigued her. “I’m Rynth Lumaban… I presume from what you’ve said so far that you’re a Zero magi?” She asked of him knowing it was quite likely. After receiving an answer she opened her mouth to ask another question but hesitated and stopped struggling for an appropriate question to ask or a subject to talk about before saying. “Do you….uh nevermind.” Aaron |

Aaron couldn't help but smirk with a bit of amusement at it.
"Look, Haven is about not hiding things. I don't hide my magi traits, and I'm used to people staring. Yeah, it's a little impolite but it's quite obviously your first time seeing a centaur magi so I can forgive it a bit." He heard the introduction and the deduction that Aaron was a zero magi. He also heard the cut off question and deduced that they were very curious. He didn't really blame them.
"Indeed. Seems we are both zero magi. And since you're curious about my traits, how about we exchange questions. I'm a little curious about you too after all. Like whether you have easily hidden magi traits, or if you're using your illusions for that. And if so, why hide it here in Haven? Haven's safe. That's literally the meaning of the word haven." He smiled.
"Besides, that's essentially what a conversation is. Having enough questions to exchange between two or more people. Care to walk around the stalls, or sit on a bench? There's one just across the pathway there." He didn't get tired easily, but he was quite aware too much shopping could be difficult for bipeds.

The fellow magi in front of her spoke warmly… it was as if the air around him grew brightly with his cheerful demeanor. It helped to soothe her thoughts and mind as she often found herself struggling to speak to those that subverted most of her expectations. Having somewhat expected to be scolded due to her own young appearance. The elderly within haven usually gave her an earful for one reason or another. The scenery around them moved on even with her sudden self-consciousness. Taking a deep breath she refocuses on the Centaur in front of her. “It’s not quite that… most magi I’ve seen are relatively… well… like I stated before… had less pronounced features.” Rynth struggled picking and choosing her words as to not step on any toes… she had gotten used to speaking in such a way around her fellow magi that had often disagreed with her on the use of technology and the state of cyborgs. As the man in front of her proposed an exchange of questions it seemed to perk her up to the idea of learning more about him. Although she would have to sacrifice some information about herself. The state of the enigma has often been her shield against those that were quick to judge her. Reasoning to herself that making a ‘friend’ might prove useful to her… with the exception of her students and co-workers, most people that got close to her grew to dislike her eventually. As such she actively avoided them as it was too mentally and emotionally taxing to struggle with them in the daily routines of her life. Once the first question had been asked she took a solid moment to ponder on how she could best explain it to him. “Well my magi traits are usually quite noticeable. As for the short version of why I hide them it’s because I’ve developed it as a habit living in Dagos for most of my life, but there are other reasons that are best left for another day.” Believing that she gave a satisfactory answer she began to walk away from the growing crowd. “I wouldn’t mind walking some more...I’m a bit fidgety in public areas anyway.” Rynth had found his warm presence and the curious state of his features appealing enough to indulge in a more developed conversation than the idle chit chat most people within haven have. “So… since we’re trading questions, I suppose I can’t ask any of the silly ones without giving up something unfairly compromising. So my question to you is, What profession do you hold in Haven?” She asked with an inquisitive tone. Aaron |

[attr="class","summerhover"] [attr="class","summerbg"] [attr="class","summerborder"] [attr="class","summerbox1"] ✖[attr="class","summerbox2"] [attr="class","summerbox3"] [attr="class","summercontent"] [attr="class","summertext"] He heard Rynth say that it wasn't that they hadn't seen a centaur, but rather that they hadn't seen someone with such pronounced magi features. He grinned.
"Yeah, but that's basically the same thing isn't it? Being a centaur is about as pronounced as it gets." The magi seemed to be speaking in such a way that they were walking on eggshells. Aaron had to say he did appreciate the sentiment behind it. Some people were very self-conscious about their magi traits, as they'd been such a cause of discrimination and racism.
"Politeness is appreciated, but don't worry so much either. Some questions are obviously rude, but I'm not gonna bite your head off if you're genuinely trying to be polite. Some magi are self-conscious, but I'm not one of them. I was raised in Ikigai, where magi are very accepted. In addition, my magi traits helped me win a horse race." Aaron grinned. Just saying he'd won a horse race was largely underselling it honestly, but he liked to see peoples' faces when they found out he'd won a famous horse race. Therefore, he did not advertise the fact beyond 'oh yeah I've raced'. He listened as she spoke about how hiding them was a habit from living in Dagos and Aaron couldn't stop himself from sticking his tongue out while closing one of his eyes. Ghastly face for a ghastly place!
"Ugh. Dagos. I'm sure it has some good points. Somewhere. I guess it can't be quite as bad as Felici after all. But still...ugh." He realized he was saying it about where she lived, but Aaron did not necessarily have a censor for some things. And places with rampant racism counted. Aaron took a bit of time to look over Rynth. They'd stared at him so he figured it was fair game. He wasn't super obvious about it, but he did wonder what gender they were. It didn't matter so much, but he was naturally curious. Ambiguity was a magi trait that interested him. Plus, he didn't want to screw up their pronouns. Those were important, he'd learned before. Part of treating everyone in Haven like part of his family was being respectful of the way they identified. At least, that's what he thought family SHOULD be, so he made a point to be that way.
"Well, you could ask a silly one and then I'd come up with one too. Like, what are your magi traits, or what animal they're from for example. As for my occupation, I'm a shopkeep. I run a general store. I'm also a combat trainer who owns a dojo here in Haven." He grinned.
"If you ever need to learn something, I might just know something. Good business for me to mention that." He found this person interesting honestly. He found most in Haven interesting, but this person was hiding and that made it all the more intriguing to him. Everyone had a story, he'd learned in his travels. But some people hid theirs, and the reasons they did so made him want to help whenever he could. Aaron never pushed though. That was rude and uncalled for, to push for personal details.

Rynth chuckled at his initial response as he was pointing out the error in her own explanation. “Well it's the polite way of saying such a thing. Rather than being childlike to point at the horse part of you and just blurt. ‘Let me ride on your back Mister!’” she imitated a childlike voice as well as a compelling an illusion of a child to enact her words for their entertainment. The image going poof with a puff a fake smoke after she finished doing her imitation. Slowly starting to feel at ease when speaking to him. It was strange as she felt reminiscent of her old office days prior to the concentration camps. Once it was revealed he was foreigner she found herself a bit more interested as the annoying tick of figuring out accents always alluded her. “Well I honestly feel out of place no matter where I go… So it just sorta reflects in my illusion… hence the rather generally human appearance. Although when I'm in Davos I'm usually pretend to be a cyborg.” she spoke with a bit more pep than before. As she pulled up her sleeve to reveal a robotic skeleton like hand. Thinking back on what he said earlier… something about a horse race.. Another question popped up but she hesitated to speak once more. Feeling relief when he brought up Dagos as a sort of topic of conversation. “Oh right… well it isn't too bad so long as you know where not to go and you don't draw too much attention to yourself… Hunter activity varies there too… But so long as you stay away from the illegal dealings then you should be alright for the most part.” voicing her own experience as the illusion soon faded away from her arm. Returning to a regular humans arm. Returning to her question she was surprised by how open he was with his own life. As she paused for a moment to really reflect on whether it was a good idea or not to show how she normally was. “Well I suppose it’s unfair for you to expose yourself to me, while I hide behind my illusions… which means I owe you two answers now since you’ve revealed your profession to me… well… the origins of my magi traits are tied to Serpents or snakes.” For a moment she allows her disguise to fall to reveal the scales and the bright yellow snake eyes she had. As well as what was left of her tail before quickly hiding behind the illusion once more. “Most people around here are kind of wary of me once they realize the sort of abilities I have. It’s not unreasonable but it can be troublesome at times. As for my profession… I’m an engineer by trade, but I also teach like you. Well I’m a private teacher… I travel here every once or twice a month to see the children push their academics. Completing a Master’s at a university has its benefits.” Rynth was slowly opening up about her prior history within Dagos… granted her degree was revoked once the college had discovered she was a magi… “Now I suppose it’s time for me to ask a question…. What do you think of me so far?” she was curious of his evaluation of her so far… first impressions were normally something she had a bad history with. Aaron |

[attr="class","summerhover"] [attr="class","summerbg"] [attr="class","summerborder"] [attr="class","summerbox1"] ✖[attr="class","summerbox2"] [attr="class","summerbox3"] [attr="class","summercontent"] [attr="class","summertext"]Aaron chuckled on hearing that it was the polite way to put such a thing. He was further amused when Rynth brought up an illusion of a child to illustrate their point.
"Alright I get it. You were trying to be polite. It's funny to see a kid say that, sort of odd when an adult does it. Point taken." He smiled, feeling in good humour. He found out that she liked to pretend she was a cyborg, and that she generally did feel out of place.
"Most magi these days do feel out of place. Anti-magi sentiment on the rise and all. Not like it used to be, that's for sure. But I'll stop myself from going on about the 'good ol' days' or whatever." He grinned.
"And honestly, I doubt I'd be alright. People tend to stare at centaurs, as we've already established. And I can't physically change the way I look, so I would have to make a very large illusion to cover it. I'd have to be pulling a cart or something. I haven't thought too hard about it. I'm happy here in Haven, and going overseas for trips to talk to old friends." His human friends were getting on in years after all. There was no point in keeping the money he had a nest egg when he wanted to talk to friends who might not be there for too much longer. Besides, he had enough money to not worry about those sorts of things either. When Rynth let down her illusion to expose the scales and the snake eyes his eyes lit up.
"Oh and I thought my own eyes of two different colours was unique. Shame you have to hide them really. Same with the scales. They really do look rather lovely. I like to think that every magi is given the magi traits that look the best. It's part of why I get angry at hunters. They were given their hair colour, we were given our traits. It's really no different." He was angry about it, but that didn't mean he would ever imagine violence against them. He would do what he needed to in order to protect his friends and the people he counted as family, but he would never go out of his way to harm humans. That didn't serve his agenda, and it was just a deplorable way to treat other beings who lived in the same realm you did. He heard her ask what he thought of her so far and his smile quirked up at one end. What a curious question to ask, perhaps borne from being so conscious of how she looked?
"I think you are perhaps a little too consumed by fear, but that you are a fascinating person to talk to in your own right. And that some time in Haven could perhaps be very good for you, maybe help you relax a little." He thought that summed his thoughts up fairly well.
"Besides, you have lived in Ethea. Despite what you say about there being pockets of good places in Ethea, I have too many...reservations...about it." There was obviously more of a story there. However, it was one he would only delve into if asked.
"What do you teach? It's interesting you attended a university other than the Ikigaian school. I taught some at the magi school myself, when I was in...I think I was in my twenties. A good while ago." He had learned a good few helpful things while he had been there.

Seeing his reaction to her first illusion felt quite satisfying to the engineer. " Well glad I can entertain you." As Aaron continued and started joking about the phrase the 'good ol-days' Rynth couldn't help but leave her own remark on it as the question of age was always a funny idea when she thought of it in human standards. " Well we could say the 'good ol-days', but I really doubt anyone would think either of us were young if we did." She said with a snicker. When he brought up the nature of seclusion due to anti-magi sentiment she paused her own thought knowing that some of the seclusion was coming from some of the magi populace as well. A lot of people didn't take it quite well when she announced her leave of MLM. Although she did rejoin recently, it was for the purpose of keeping the casualties to a minimum on both sides. As he referred to his possible presence in Dagos, Rynth realized that what Aaron stated would prove true. The kind of illusion needed to display for a centaur would be off putting in reality. As they continued it was fairly interesting to see his reaction to her magi traits. As he brought up his appreciation for the unique features of magi she found it a bit strange about the particular detail he brought up about hunters... maybe she was getting nit picky with the details, but she couldn't say the hunters were a force of good. However she was well aware that they were a deterrent for most magi to not abuse their abilities. When it came to his compliment however... she was just glad she could easily hide behind her illusions to mask certain expressions. " Well thank you for the compliment... but the purpose of... well the institutional purpose of hunters, at least by how the government defines it, is that they are a peace-keeping force. Which is a blatant lie in their very nature and religion, but humanity is justified to fear what we're capable of... historically the event that caused Ethea to react so violently was the death of politician... the apparent murder was a zero magi and impersonated the politician during a interview... The old net videos of that video are on the Ethian web... uh sorry, I get carried away when I talk about such topics. The conflict here has never been quite black and white, but urrgh-" Rynth started pressing the fingers against her head as her mind started to overthink the issue even to the point of causing her illusion to flicker a bit before she finally regained her own composure. " Forgive me, I would normally like to avoid the topic of Ethian culture and politics... personal history in robotics and what not... As well as the involvement of former colleagues in the genocide... It's a lot more complicated the more I think about it." Rynth takes a breath not realizing the details she's given about herself until moments after asking for his opinion of her. Although it was somewhat surface level of her personality, Aaron had made a fair and correct judgement of what kind of person she was. " That's fair... far more generous description than many others have. I've told I can be quite obsessive..." She chuckles nervously feeling as though she made a far worse second impression now. Quick to sweep every other statement she made, Rynth answers his last question. " General education of academia... It was to allow children in the concentration camps to gain at the very least College level education. My illusions made it far easier than to educate the children." Her voice was filled with joyous tone as if she were reminiscing a first love. After recalling every good memory of her students she lets out a sigh attempt to refocus on the reality in her life. " So you're older than twenty... heh, I was teaching from my thirties and onwards. Honestly though I can't think of anything other question to ask you, but one. Would you mind sharing you're name?"

"I have no pretenses to maintain. I'm not young anymore. No point in pretending like I am." He lived his younger years fully. There was no need to pretend like he was still living them. He heard Rynth basically defending the hunters and he put a hand to his forehead for a moment.
"Yes fear is understandable. What is not is violence. In any form. It is the move of less creative individuals to use violence to solve their problems. If the problem is another person attacking you, then it's understandable in self defense. I run a dojo for pete's sake I understand that much. However, responding to fear by currying fear? That's just a ridiculous solution. It isn't even a solution." He shook his head slightly at the thought. He heard Rynth say they liked to avoid this topic and he sighed, rubbing the back of his neck idly.
"Yes generally I stay away from it also. I lost my best friend in the violence." Raj was still 'missing'. Aaron hoped one day he might be found, whether dead or alive. His family and friends needed the peace it would provide. However, Aaron didn't hold out much hope for it. He heard Rynth speak about how it was a generous description and Aaron smiled slightly. He heard the mention about teaching and he grinned more fully.
"I traveled a lot when I was young. Learned a few techniques. Worked at a security firm for a while. Learned at the magi school for ten years." He realized he hadn't introduced myself.
"Ah yes that was rather impolite of me I didn't even realize I hadn't introduced myself. I'm Aaron Ferguson. Fortunately I've never had to change my name either. And I'm eighty six. Age in my opinion is something to be proud of, not hide. I mean, I've lasted this long I should wear that as a bloody badge of honour right?" Aaron laughed. He had been in dark thoughts just a little bit before, but that was the thing about Aaron. He could switch gears fairly well.

Rynth was initially surprised by Aaron's response to her more political point of view on the intended role of the hunters… and it made her curious to pursue the line of thought once more. “I uh, forgive me…. But you're the first person to give me a crazy look on the matter.” It was hard to hide the smile and soft feeling of joy that she could have this conversation. “It is true that I agree with the role hunters were placed for by the government’s citizens. However I believe we can both agree that neither of us will condone the foundation of ‘law' enforcement group. I've taken the time to read on articles and what history I could find of hunters… And the basis of their organization's belief is barbaric… I might bring up these sorts of topics with you if you can bear me.” she stopped when he mentioned losing his best friend to the conflict. “Sorry if I may have pushed any buttons. I seem to have a bad habit for it…” she tried not to think on the children she couldn't save during the genocide. A pain she had thought she moved on from always returns to pain her again. She clasped her chest for a moment and took a deep breath. Only just realizing her anxiety rising from the return of such a memory. After three more breaths she continued her conversation and mentioned she was a teacher. As Aaron spoke of his early life and even growing up in a magi school she was curious as to the aspects of the school outside her own country. “What was a magi only school like? I've only lived through a human school and it wasn't hard to pretend I was one of them once I mastered my ability.” After which she posed the question of his name. It was rather silly that they had gotten this far into conversation with only one of them introducing themselves. Rynth still found it enjoyable to point it out. “Well as for the whole age thing from earlier. It's more of a game to me… I love to see if people can guess what age I am. Although, I suppose it isn't quite fair with my illusions. As for my age, well gotta say you're older than me by three years.” she said with a smile becoming more relaxed as they continued to walk through the markets. “Oh, this is my final question. I swear! Am I a boy or a girl?” There was somewhat of mischievous smile behind those words as throughout their conversation she noticed he never quite referred to any pronouns. It was far less about which answer he gave her… but more to see how much he might struggle to give the answer to her. Aaron |

[attr="class","summerhover"] [attr="class","summerbg"] [attr="class","summerborder"] [attr="class","summerbox1"] ✖[attr="class","summerbox2"] [attr="class","summerbox3"] [attr="class","summercontent"] [attr="class","summertext"]"I'm not entirely sure what their purpose was to begin with, but I've been to Ikigai, Suraja and Fokradiin. The closest it has come to Ethea's hunter organization is Fokradiin's Victor's Military Academy. And that is a military school to help train people. Either they turn out mercenaries, or they turn out military. Either way they are not made to hunt down a specific race. The fact that Ethea has such an organization has never made sense to me. I respect cultures from all over the world, but I do not have to respect the parts of the culture that hurt others. Killing and injuring is never okay as an ingrained part of a culture's law enforcement." He heard the apology about pushing buttons and shook his head.
"No you brought up a topic that is common, and interesting to talk about. You didn't push any buttons. I just...I lost my best friend while I was on the phone with him. We were a very close team way back from my youth." He smiled slightly. Instead of dwelling on the bitterness of the memory of his friend being taken, Aaron tried to think of the times they had trained together, and built wonderful memories. It was a far pleasanter experience that way. Then Rynth asked how a magi only school was and Aaron's face lit up.
"It's wonderful. I highly encourage everyone to take at least a small bit of time there. There is so much to learn. There are magi who believe only in the pursuit of knowledge. There are those who believe in peace, those who believe in violence. There are all sorts of thoughts in the same place, and opinions are exchanged regularly. Through the exchange of information and opinions, more about magic is gradually discovered. There's so much to be taught about different ways our magic can be used. People who can lift things with their minds essentially. Magi who can twist flames into shapes. Some of my happiest times were spent learning or teaching there." He grinned. Aaron loved talking about the Magi School in his home country. He was very proud of it. Then the fellow zero magi spoke about how age was a game, but that he was older by three years.
"Well they say age before beauty..." He grinned, winking slightly in a joking mischievous fashion. Just because he was eighty six didn't mean he wasn't still mischievous. It made life infinitely more interesting. Then Rynth asked him to guess their gender and he laughed.
"I honestly couldn't tell you! I was deliberating about that myself, until I realized the gender of a person doesn't really matter all that much. Either way, their opinions and ways of viewing the world, along with their life experiences, are going to be fairly similar. If I had to guess though...maybe female?" He was just going mostly by their voice though. There was no telling whether he would be correct. It's fun.

Rynth took the time to listened to more of Aaron’s comments as she was enlightened to his point of view. It was a great relief that he took no offense to her desire to discuss certain issues. Although the recent flashes of vague memories seemed to be buttering up her own personality. It took some time to figure that what she was previously seeing had been memories of an old life long forgotten. However until she could properly sort them out, it would be best not to mention this to anyone. As the pressure grew within her mind her own illusion started to flicker in and out between the reality of who she truly was and the false image she had attempted to retain. Once Aaron brought up the joy of his academic life, she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy that clung to her heart. Taking a deep breath of the cold air around her, letting it permeate her being until she released a heavy sigh. “Gotta say I’m a bit envious of such an opportunity. Granted, I did get a chance most other magi never had when I mastered my illusions… It wasn’t the easiest, but I do miss several of my colleagues back in the old days. They were quite a strange bunch a few of them were quite in love with the machines they worked with.” A chuckle escaped her, as she couldn’t help but reminisce of the happy times she did get to experience. It occurred to her after a brief moment of silence that they were both teachers. “Maybe…. Maybe I could bring a few of my students to you for some lessons on self defense. Would you mind that?” With and inquisitive look she waited for his answer before they would continue. After bringing up her gender she waited patiently for both his reaction and his answer. Luckily, he didn’t seem the type to deliberate too long on such notion of sensitivity. It was a rather quick and easy guess as she was glad he had admitted that he was pondering her gender. “Well, it looks like you are…….. Correct!” Purposely dragging out the pause on her answer. With a quick witted response, she had confetti and a small imaginary marching band appear within an illusion. Emphasizing his victory of an one in two chance of guessing correct. Unfortunately as she looked down to her wrist watch, Rynth realized just she was late for a session with one of her students. “Oh dear, well I actually must leave you now… I have prior commitments to address. Hopefully my students don’t give me too much of a hard time for being late. I’ll see you around.” She made the goodbye quick as she waved off before running off. Aaron |

Aaron couldn't help but smile kindly. Hopefully if she talked to someone who was accepting more often, the magi would feel more and more comfortable looking like a magi while in Haven. It was a safe place after all. Having someone fear being themselves seemed like an awful big shame to Aaron. He listened to her as she reminisced about her own studies. Then she asked if she could bring some of her students for lessons on self defense.
"Of course they'd be very welcome. It would be good business for me to gain some more paying students. At the moment I don't really have any, even if my rates are reasonable." He grinned. He enjoyed teaching, but it wasn't something he got to do nearly as often as he'd like ideally. Apparently he had guessed her gender correctly. Lovely. He didn't like to screw up on that particular subject. He heard the farewell and Aaron waved with a smile on his face before turning and buying a couple more things from the stalls before starting to head home. There was only so long he could keep his shop closed after all.
