[attr="class","saschaunshifted"] Everyone needed lunch. That was a basic rule in Taran's mind. Unless you were weird and denied yourself lunch, in which case you just might be crazy. It was always so hard to tell who was dieting and who was insane. Such a thin line between the two, Taran thought as she chowed down on a bucket of fried chicken she'd bought for her own lunch. She'd visited the temple, and she was planning on playing games later. Probably drunk. But for now, she was having fun eating. And nobody could make those comments about eating a lot for a girl, because SURPRISE Taran was in her guy form today.
"Man this fried chicken is good. What the hell they put on this to make it so addictive?" That's when she saw the cotton candy stall and took some of that, donating what she would have paid for it normally. The festival was by donation, but she wasn't taking advantage of that fact. After all, she had the money. Someone else might not have enough money to buy food for themselves. And one thing Taran didn't consider herself was heartless. Or...well cheap didn't really describe her either. That description had worked for her father, who very rarely did anything that could be categorized under philanthropy. Taran was not about to make that same mistake now that she ran her own life.
She smiled, enjoying the sights and the sounds. Her wolf ears swiveled to help her take it all in. It really was a beautiful sight. She was so busy looking around that she ironically did not see someone bumping into her. Taran scrambled to keep the fried chicken and cotton candy in her hands. Fortunately she succeeded. She turned to see where the person was, and whether they were ready to apologize for almost upending her lunch.

Initially Luca had thought that he should probably avoid the food stand set up for the Spring Renewal Festival. Things that smelled so delicious had to be costly, and he only ever had so much money to spare at any given time. Splurging it all on food was a bad idea, and besides that, he had plenty of rations he could make do with, like he always did… If he could just resist the temptation wafting over to him in the form of scents both savory and sweet, and all mouthwateringly nice. This plan fell through, however, when he caught wind of what the stall tenders were actually asking for in exchange for whatever snacks or meals they offered. A small donation— one even Luca could afford easily enough— for the sake of refugees looking to find the safety of the magi city in the woods. That was something he could get behind, as he knew all too well the struggles of making it this far. So, after a little searching through the stands to find something that appealed, the zero magi settled on a place offering bentos (including some with vegetarian options), made his donation, and carried off his meal to find a place to eat it. This was easier said than done, however, as the crowd had grown thick in this area, making navigation without running into other people quite the challenge. At first, he managed a decent enough job of it, and only had to apologize once or twice when he accidentally brushed against someone, but that all came crashing down as a small band of young magi went racing by. In his effort to avoid them, Luca stumbled, and was unable to catch himself until after he’d careened into another body. Letting out a startled yelp, he quickly backed away from the wolf magi, shrinking in on himself a little. “Ah, s-sorry, I didn’t um… Didn’t realize you were there. A-a-are you alright? I didn’t make you drop anything, did I? Because I can— I can pay to replace it if you need me to and— um…” He swallowed hard, thinking it was best to stop there before he really made a fool of himself. Taran |

[attr="class","saschaunshifted"] The guy who bumped into her was suddenly apologizing like crazy. He looked super nervous and Taran's ears flopped in sympathy. She wasn't one to get angry at a guy.
"Hey no harm done man. You can...stop apologizing I caught my stuff. And I know you obviously didn't do it on purpose." She felt a little guilty for being ready to snap at the person too. The guy seemed okay. She rubbed the back of her neck.
"I'm alright I'm tough. Are you okay? Did you drop anything?" She knew that the donations thing was allowing a lot of magi to eat more than they usually could on their budget. Not every magi was as fortunate as Taran herself was. She could make money with her mechanic work, and drawing up plans for devices and sending them in anonymously. She still got money from those. But not everyone could do that. Her tail drooped slightly too thinking about that but she shook her head to clear that away before reopening her eyes and giving a gentle smile to the guy.
"Why were you in such a hurry? Someone you had to catch, or someone trying to catch you?" If it was the latter she was ready to beat someone up. Of course, it was a festival for magi so the chances were slim. But someone causing trouble at Goddess Arithelia's festival? That would be completely unforgivable in Taran's book.

The drooping ears went mostly unnoticed, but after a moment or so Luca did at least process what the other magi had said to him. No harm done, stop apologizing… “S-sorry,” the zero magi stuttered immediately, eyes dropping to the ground. “Sorry…” Shifting uncertainly in place, with his tail flicking nervously behind him, he clutched his bento to his chest and continued staring at the ground while the stranger tried to reassure him, only daring to glance up on occasion. He really didn’t seem mad, which was good, but it would likely still be a while before his nerves calmed enough for him to relax at all. “I, um… No. Er, yes. Ahh…” Gods help him, he really was making a fool of himself just now, wasn’t he? “Ah, yes, I’m alright. And, um, no I didn’t… didn’t drop anything.” Despite his inability to pull himself together, it was nice of the other man to be concerned for him. At the start of their encounter, he couldn’t have expected anything of the sort, but just then it was nice to be proven wrong. A tinge of pink colored Luca’s cheeks as he caught the smile the other man flashed him, and he quickly averted his gaze again before it grew any worse. “N-no, nothing like that…” he mumbled, nibbling his lip as he tried to ignore the burning in his face. “There were just these children running around, and I was trying not to bump into any of them, and I tripped, and… well… You know.” Taran |

[attr="class","saschaunshifted"] Taran saw the restless tail. Having a tail herself, she knew how it betrayed the emotions quite well. It was a bane to her existence sometimes, but she was mostly honest with her feelings anyways so it never caused too much trouble. Well, she'd had to come to terms with being more honest when she realized her tail would betray her anyway in many interactions. She'd learned that while at the Magi Training School. This guy was very nervous, and seemed to apologize a lot.
She knew that apologizing was often a sign of being abused. When you were abused, you were used to saying sorry. You were anxious about not painting a target on your back by what you said or did. This guy seemed to be a classic case, and Taran felt both concern and a sort of camaraderie for it. She'd been like that a lot too after all.
"It's okay. I'm not mad." She smiled kindly at him. Then he spoke about the kids and she chuckled.
"Yeah they're kind of everywhere. They're having fun. It's really nice to see. Kids shouldn't have a care in the world, but unfortunately magi kids don't always have that luxury. It's nice they get it, even if it's just for a day." She'd had that luxury of not worrying about the racism. She'd had other worries, so looking back she was thankful to her Goddess Arithelia for making her a no-maj. As a no-maj she'd been able to worry about surviving other things rather than constant racism. By the time she had her traits, she was a strong enough person to withstand more. And even then, she'd been in Ikigai, at a Magi Training School. She'd really had it easier as a magi than probably most of the people here.
"Hey, you seem like an interesting person. Got time to walk and talk with me? I don't really know too many magi in Ethea. If you wouldn't mind, I would even buy you some of this fried chicken. It's damn good, and hey, food is always enjoyed best with friends right?" Taran had always been a believer of spreading the wealth around. It was something her dad hadn't been pleased with. She'd done it despite getting yelled at more than a few times. There were times when no matter what opposition you faced, you had to stand up for things. Even if they were small things, there were some things that if you conceded, you would lose something in yourself.
She wasn't rich, but she was well off.
"It's a festival for my favourite goddess. I like to celebrate and spend as a result. And hey, it's to a good cause so even better, right?" She grinned.

[attr="class","ig"] [attr="class","ninety"] [attr="class","joker"] [attr="class","game"] Taran notes and shit [attr="class","kikan"]  Another reassurance that all was well came and, just by the smallest of fractions, Luca’s stiff posture relaxed, though his tail and expression still betrayed a significant amount of frayed nerves. If nothing else, it was a start. In the meantime, he nodded along to the stranger’s observations. “R-right…” he agreed quietly, managing the smallest of smiles. Even if it was only for a little while, it was nice for the young ones to experience so much joy, and for the adults to forget the worries of the world. Thinking the encounter would end soon enough, and they would both be on their ways, Luca found himself surprised when he wasn’t dismissed— even more so when the other magi dubbed him “interesting”. Looking almost startled by the word, he blinked at the other for a second or two before responding. “I, um… if you want?” Walking and talking… that was something he could manage. Probably. Assuming there weren’t any other gaggles of young magi he found himself needing to avoid. Only, there was one small issue— namely the offer the wolfish magi had made. While the donations did indeed go to a good cause, and he certainly wouldn’t have been opposed to providing more to it, the specific meal on offer wasn’t exactly one he could accept. “You… you really don’t have to,” Luca tried meekly, holding up his bento for the other to see. “I’ve already got my own food, and, well…” His eyes dropped sheepishly to the ground. “I don’t really eat meat, s-so… ah…” Surely he would understand, right?

[attr="class","saschaunshifted"] Taran saw the surprise on the guy's face. It always sort of amused her whenever someone was surprised to hear she found them interesting. She had found that a lot of people were waiting to hear that. And the ones who weren't didn't really mind either. She heard him concede and she grinned, her slightly longer canines making themselves known. One of her magi traits. It was visible everytime she smiled. Then he gestured to a bento and mentioned he was vegetarian.
"Oh. Well no to the fried chicken then." She always found vegetarians sort of hard to understand. She respected them for their choices because animals were important to keep alive in some cases. However, she was a wolf in many aspects and so veggies were not always her favourite food.
"Meat give you gas or somethin'?" Hey, she'd heard that from a few sources. It wasn't particularly delicately put, but she was curious to see whether it was true. From what she'd read, it said that if you were a vegetarian for a while meat wouldn't necessarily agree with your digestive system. She had no idea whether she digested things like a wolf or not, but she wasn't about to chance it. Wolves ate meat, and so did she as a result. She figured it would be healthier for her wolf parts. Otherwise though, it food was definitely a personal choice. Unless you were not giving your body the nutrients it needed, it was really no one else's business whether you liked to eat bacon or not. The guy was obviously pretty nervous so she wasn't going to be mean or anything. Taran very rarely was anyways.

[attr="class","ig"] [attr="class","ninety"] [attr="class","joker"] [attr="class","game"] Taran This poor child needs to chill. Save him. [attr="class","kikan"] Once again, Luca found his nervousness was running on little foundation. The wolf magi relented to the fact that he was a vegetarian very easily, and without any fuss or fun at his expense, to boot. A nice little surprise, to be sure, even if it probably shouldn’t have been a surprise at all. Like so many people in Haven, this magi was perfectly amicable and understanding. Of course, the zero magi still managed to find himself thoroughly embarrassed by the question he was asked next. Cheeks turning bright red, Luca quickly shook his head and replied, “N-no. I just, um… I just… d-don’t eat meat. Never really have.” Although, said the voice of the medic in him, after so many years of never eating meat, trying probably would have some unfortunate side effects, gas among them. So, really, it was all the better that he avoided the stuff now just as much as he had before. Clearing his throat, he shifted his weight back and forth anxiously, once again betrayed by the agitated flicking of his tail as he tried to recover. “But… we could, ah…” What? They could what? Think, you idiot! “We could at least… find somewhere to sit down? Er, to eat. And… and talk more, I guess? W-wouldn’t have to worry about tripping over anyone else, that way.” For his part, Luca was certain that once was enough for the day. Turning, he would seek out an open table and, once he’d spotted one, make a nervous motion for the other magi to follow before starting off toward it himself.

[attr="class","saschaunshifted"] Oh so it wasn't a gas thing. Interesting. Taran stored that odd bit of information away. Sounded like the guy had been a vegetarian for a while which was interesting. There were a few people who decided to go vegetarian, but there were significantly less who stuck with it. Apparently she was meeting one of the ones who had. She saw the tail flicking back and forth and noted that he was probably still nervous.
"Cool tail I have one of those too!" Taran spun on her heel, her wolf tail wagging happily at meeting a new friend. She heard him suggest sitting down.
"Yeah I suppose sitting down is a good idea. Less chance of dropping food too. Rather lot of people to trip over. I'm not exactly the most graceful of magi either. Something about my being a fire magi maybe, although I don't think that's quite the kind of destructive people have in mind when they hear about fire." Taran shrugged with a grin before sitting down at the table. Her ears swivelled around to listen to all the sounds. She could hear the happiness in Haven that day and it was relaxing to be able to be around people who were genuinely having a great time.
"So mind if I ask where you're from? Haven, or somewhere else? I'm from Dagos City personally." If you asked a personal question of someone, it was only polite to volunteer the information yourself first after all.

[attr="class","ig"] [attr="class","ninety"] [attr="class","joker"] [attr="class","game"] Taran[attr="class","kikan"] Cool… tail? What? As the other magi spun around to show him his own tail, Luca stared as though he had just watched him grow a second head. “U-um…” There was something he was supposed to say here, wasn’t there? Maybe a compliment in return was expected. “I… I guess it is… um.” Shifting uncertainly, Luca cleared his throat while he scrambled for the right words. “Yours is… nice, too…?” Horrible. Absolutely horrible. At this point, the best he could hope for was for the subject to be forgotten quickly. Fortunately, the wolf magi seemed receptive to the idea of finding a spot to sit down, so Luca would continue to leave until they had reached their destination. “I-I don’t know…” he tried, hoping to somehow reassure the other magi with his uncertain reply, “I wouldn’t think being clumsy had much to do with your element…” Wait, no, that wasn’t right. He’d practically insulted the man! “Not— not that I think you are clumsy, of course. You, um… you’re not the one who ran into anybody else here, s-so…” What a marvelous job of speaking he was doing today. Although, before he could do any “better”, he tried to busy himself with his food, quickly popping some stir-fried vegetables into his mouth so he couldn’t speak any further for a bit. He continued munching for a while longer after the next question was asked of him, uncertainty clear on his face as he searched for an answer. Swallowing after a moment, he slowly replied, “Well, I… I’m not really from anywhere. I travel a lot, so I don’t really have a home, necessarily.” Luca paused briefly, then added, “I stay in Dagos a lot, though, when I’m not here or visiting Camlorn…”[newclass=.joker]width: 360px; height: 140px; padding: 20px; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -moz-transition: 3s all; -webkit-transition: 3s all; -o-transition: 3s all; transition: 1s all;[/newclass][newclass=.ig:hover .joker]background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4); -moz-transition: 3s all; -webkit-transition: 3s all; -o-transition: 3s all; transition: 1s all;[/newclass][newclass=.game]text-align:center; line-height: 9px; margin-top:10px;opacity:0;font:bold 10px Roboto; color: #ffffff; text-transform: uppercase; -webkit-transition-duration:.3s;transition-delay: .3s;transition-duration:.3s;-moz-transition-duration:.5s;[/newclass][newclass=.game a]font:bold 17px Roboto; font-weight: 900; color: #ffffff;[/newclass][newclass=.ig:hover .game]margin-top:0px;opacity:1;transition-delay: .3s; -webkit-transition-duration:.3s;transition-duration:.3s;-moz-transition-duration:.5s;[/newclass][newclass=.ninety]width:400px;height:180px;background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/VcCe39g.jpg?1);[/newclass] [newclass=.kikan]width: 65px; height: 65px; border: 1px solid #0; transform: rotate(45deg); z-index: 2; margin-top: -27px; margin-bottom: -39px; filter: grayscale(100%);-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);-moz-filter: grayscale(100%);[/newclass][newclass=.ig:hover .kikan]filter: grayscale(0%);-webkit-filter: grayscale(0%);-moz-filter: grayscale(0%); transition: 0.6s; transition-timing-function: linear;[/newclass][googlefont=Roboto][googlefont=Open+Sans] |

[attr="class","saschaunshifted"] Man this dude was a mess. It was almost like he was a worse mess than Taran.
"Dude relax. I am clumsy, I just joked about it for a reason. You don't have to apologize I'm not gonna bite your head off for it. I appreciate honesty and you're not being honest if you're apologizing for everything." That was the nicest way she could think of to say 'stop saying sorry you look like a doof'. Taran thought she'd done fairly well at it honestly. She took another bite of her fried chicken.
"I'm not gonna judge you unless you're one of those magi supremacists. I give everyone a fair shake as long as they're kind to people. And I can already tell that's in your nature from the amount of apologizing you're doing." But for real, magi supremacists were royal jerks and she wished se could shove her boot up all of their asses. Yes, Taran was zen and chill. But they were poor excuses for magi and made the rest of the race look bad. They were the reason they were being hunted. In that way, she couldn't quite blame the hunters. If she were human and all she'd met were magi supremacists, she'd want to kill them too. she chuckled at the thought. She heard the words about not being from anywhere and she nodded in understanding.
"Sort of a nomad huh? I'm from Dagos City myself. Raised in Ikigai, moved here to Ethea hoping for better business. Well that and Ikigai was kind of looking for me...I'm not a criminal but I'm someone they kinda wanted back. Though I don't know why I'm telling you this it's sort of odd isn't it?"

[attr="class","ig"] [attr="class","ninety"] [attr="class","joker"] [attr="class","game"] Taran[attr="class","kikan"] In response to the order to relax, Luca unintentionally stiffened in posture somewhat, and a bit of color drained from his cheeks. He wasn’t being honest? “Wh—? B-but, umm… I-I-I just…” he half squeaked, now worried that he’d said something wrong for an entirely new reason. He hadn’t wanted to upset the magi sitting across from him, and yet by his words it seemed he might have. Shrinking a little in his seat, he nodded meekly. “Okay… sor—“ Catching himself before he could finish yet another apology, he snapped his mouth shut, swallowing the word, along with the torrent of other apologies that wanted to follow. He frowned faintly as the conversation drifted briefly toward the subject of magi supremacists, and quickly shook his head afterward. “No, you, uh… you’re right. I’m definitely not… like that, heh…” Another bite of vegetables, this time accompanied with some nice, sticky rice. Overall it was a simple fare, but compared to what he usually had, the bento was heaven on his tongue, and it showed in the way his features gradually took on a temporarily blissful look. “I… yes, I think nomad would be a good word for it,” Luca agreed, bobbing his head as he spoke. Pausing, he considered for a while whether he should ask what it was the people in Ikigai wanted this person for, but decided soon enough that that wasn’t his business until the wolfish magi chose to share that information on his own. “Well, I mean…” he started instead, gesturing vaguely with his utensils, “It’s… not the strangest thing anyone’s ever told me?” It was fairly true. In his time working at the clinic in Dagos, quite a few odd or interesting things had found the way to his ears.

[attr="class","saschaunshifted"] Taran saw the guy seemingly panic and sighed. That had had the opposite effect of what she had aimed for.
"I don't literally mean being not honest. I mean...if you apologize for everything, then some of those things you're bound to not ACTUALLY be sorry for. So in those cases you aren't being honest. You're just apologizing in case someone gets upset. Sorry I'm not meaning to lecture whatsoever I swear that's not what this is. It's just...I read up a lot on being zen and that sort of thing. And I believe a great deal in 'being your most authentic self'." She really did use air quotes in that case too. She realized that some people might think she was a little hokey, but she hoped that her good intentions would come across regardless. Maybe her wolf tail wagging back and forth would help with that. Her ears were cocked forward eagerly too.
Did she really have four ears to rely on now? Oh yes she certainly did. She used those to pick up his words. Normally the stutter would've made Taran question whether the guy was telling the truth, but she'd already gathered that this guy was very very anxious about...well probably pretty much anything. Taran took a bite of her fried chicken. He seemed to be enjoying his veggies, but she still liked fried chicken better. To each their own though. She heard the words about nomad being about right, and then the bit about it not being the oddest and she chuckled.
"I didn't exactly mean what I told you. But telling a stranger that must seem sort of odd. I'm basically an open book, but I sometimes forget that others aren't always that way, or used to other people being that way." To her, if you asked the right question she would tell you pretty much anything.

[attr="class","ig"] [attr="class","ninety"] [attr="class","joker"] [attr="class","game"] TaranSorry for the wait [attr="class","kikan"] It took a good deal of effort on his part, but Luca managed to remain quiet while the other magi explained himself, only fidgeting every now and then between mouthfuls of food. By the end of it, he had relaxed somewhat, although as ever he couldn’t quite shake his usual nervous demeanor entirely. But it had sort of made sense, what the fire magi had said, even if he couldn’t quite wrap his head around all of it. “Oh…” Luca murmured after a moment, frowning thoughtfully. “O-okay, ah…” Now what did he say? Aside from yet another apology, of course, no matter how much one wanted to be said. “I’ll… I’ll try to keep that in mind…” Who knew, perhaps doing so would even help him somewhat in managing his nerves… If he could figure it all out to begin with. Gradually, the contents of his bento began to dwindle, until he had just about cleaned the thing out entirely. “… What happened to being your most authentic self?” he asked around a final bite of vegetables, giving a small, nervous laugh. It had been something of an attempt at a joke, but at the same time he did honestly wonder what the other magi had really meant. “I-I mean, it could come off as a little odd or abrupt I guess,” Luca went on, shrugging slightly. “But if that’s how you are, then it’s how you are, right? People will take it how they will…” [newclass=.joker]width: 360px; height: 140px; padding: 20px; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -moz-transition: 3s all; -webkit-transition: 3s all; -o-transition: 3s all; transition: 1s all;[/newclass][newclass=.ig:hover .joker]background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4); -moz-transition: 3s all; -webkit-transition: 3s all; -o-transition: 3s all; transition: 1s all;[/newclass][newclass=.game]text-align:center; line-height: 9px; margin-top:10px;opacity:0;font:bold 10px Roboto; color: #ffffff; text-transform: uppercase; -webkit-transition-duration:.3s;transition-delay: .3s;transition-duration:.3s;-moz-transition-duration:.5s;[/newclass][newclass=.game a]font:bold 17px Roboto; font-weight: 900; color: #ffffff;[/newclass][newclass=.ig:hover .game]margin-top:0px;opacity:1;transition-delay: .3s; -webkit-transition-duration:.3s;transition-duration:.3s;-moz-transition-duration:.5s;[/newclass][newclass=.ninety]width:400px;height:180px;background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/VcCe39g.jpg?1);[/newclass] [newclass=.kikan]width: 65px; height: 65px; border: 1px solid #0; transform: rotate(45deg); z-index: 2; margin-top: -27px; margin-bottom: -39px; filter: grayscale(100%);-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);-moz-filter: grayscale(100%);[/newclass][newclass=.ig:hover .kikan]filter: grayscale(0%);-webkit-filter: grayscale(0%);-moz-filter: grayscale(0%); transition: 0.6s; transition-timing-function: linear;[/newclass][googlefont=Roboto][googlefont=Open+Sans] |

[attr="class","saschaunshifted"] When Taran heard the quip about being her most authentic self she couldn't help but give a big laugh.
"I did say that! But it's predictably very difficult to put into practice. I think we both know that." She had a pretty wide grin on her face right now. She heard the words about how people would take it as they would and she shrugged.
"I suppose that's true too. Some people will judge no matter what you do, but the people who actually matter won't. I guess I should've learned that before I went on the run." She smiled, trying to decide whether to talk about it. However, she had a distinct feeling this person wouldn't mind. Plus, they might feel more comfortable if they knew a secret of hers. She'd found that people relaxed if you were willing to tell them something you trusted them to keep. Of course that wasn't always the case unfortunately. But she was going to take a gamble here and say it was.
"They're looking for me because I'm the...or well I was...the heir to a tech company. They stopped looking a while back and put my sister in charge instead. She's doing a magnificient job really, like she was raised for it. Anyways, if I went back to Ikigai people would recognize me. And they aren't exactly aware I'm a magi. I was a no-maj, but now I...well the tail and the wolf ears make things look pretty obvious." She chuckled.
