A Great Way to Meet [[Cayden]]

[Cayden Stark]

(((LAWLS yes Norwegian and hehehe ;D)))

Cayden listened as she spoke the password in her Brazilian accent...it was strange to here her pronounce the word in her own natural accent but it made him grin. He followed her in...surveying the common room for anyone who might know him...or at least know of him. Cayden wasn't really close to anyone in the school besides his brother..not many people knew anything about him at all..they just knew him to be mean and cruel...He liked this though..having no one know the inside him was comforting. He could see a few younger students studying here and there in the common room but their were two few to matter. Well how about over here... He said nodding towards the empty silver and gold chairs near the fireplace..they
would be nice and toasty by the fireplace and the few students were far away at the the other side of the common room...in front of the fire place they could be alone. He led her over to the comfy warm chair and sat down..letting the fabric embrace his skin...it was very comforting to his still bear back which had been previously against a rock... Well this is much better now isn't it? Much warmer and toastier...Hopefully you will stop shivering now. He said winking.

[Shaylyn Menki]

Shaylyn waited for Cayden to pick out where they were going to sit. It didn’t take him long, and she was grateful that he picked a seat that was close to the fire. She had significantly warmed up since they had gone inside the castle, but she still wasn’t at her peak of comfortable warmness. It would only take her a few minutes of sitting next to the fire for that to happen. She followed him over to the chair and sat down next to him; not to close but close enough that they could still talk without being overheard. Taking off her jacket before sitting down, she let the warm fabric touch what skin she had exposed. It warmed her up faster that way. With the warmth or the fabric combined with the fire blazing in front of them, she stopped shivering and was comfortable in minutes. [pink] This really is much better. I think I’m done shivering for a while…at least until I have to go outside again. [/pink] She giggled as he winked. She wasn’t quite sure why it made her laugh to see him wink, but it was so cute in a way she didn’t really understand. [pink]So now that we’re in a more comfortable setting, what shall we talk about? [/pink]She asked, turning her body towards him.

[Cayden Stark]

Cayden smiled as she got comfortable and sat down in the chair. She looked so relieved to be back in her common room and a lot more relaxed. He could tell she wasn't shivering anymore which really comforted him. She giggled as he winked at her and it made him grin with a wide pure white smile at her... She seemed to like him, he thought for a moment to himself as he body language suggested she did. This interested him so he leaned forward slightly to answer her question, Well how about you tell me about yourself... I mean your from Brazil right? You must have many interesting things about you that you could share...your culture and your life must of been so different..I mean you moved from the other side of the world completely...I suggest we get to know each other better. What do you think? He gave a cute smile and raised and eyebrow as he leaned back in his chair...

He took a moment to hold his hand up to the fire...not to warm himself because he wasn't cold but because he generally liked the feel of the heat. It comforted him and sent warm vibration down his spine.

[Shaylyn Menki]

Shaylyn thought for a second about what she would say. She hadn’t really ever had to talk about herself before. The friends she had back in Brazil had been her friends since she was very small so it wasn’t like there was much she had to explain back then other than introductions. [pink]Well, let me see, umm, I’m 16 years old, pureblooded, aspiring healer, animagus form is an adorable monkey. I moved to Russia with my brother a few weeks ago and this was the closest school. I used to live in Rio which is the best place in the world. I think you’d really enjoy it; so many fascinating people and places. Um…what else is there…well, the school I went to before was a very small, very selective school that only let in the best and most promising witches and wizards in South America. This school is huge compared to that one. Um….what else do you want me to tell you? [/pink] She asked, leaning her head against the soft couch. She wasn’t sure how much more there was to tell about herself. [pink] So what is there to know about you? [/pink] She asked curiously. There wasn’t much she actually knew about Cayden, other than his name, and she was really interested in knowing more about him.

[Cayden Stark]

Cayden listened intently as she told stuff about her. He found humor in her being an Animagus monkey and he didn't really hide it...could monkey's be cute? So she currently had moved to Russia? This fascinated him...Hogwarts and Beuxbatons were pretty close too but she decided on this school. Good idea he thought to himself...sure Durmstrang was being forced to allow a certain percentage of mudbloods in now...but at least they were not catering to them like the rift raft at Hogwarts and Beuxbatons..He held in a dramatic eye roll at this thought and responded to her. Well lets see...your an animagus cute monkey? I never knew monkeys could be cute so maybe you should show me sometime...and your a healer? That's great to know that I have someone to turn to if I need one. Why did you choose to become a healer? Tell me anything your willing to let me know. He smiled at this...there was in fact a lot he hid from people...to tell her anything would be a huge jump...he would tell her just enough though to keep her interested, Well I am a Pureblood and a Metamorphagus....I am also an animagus...though I'll show you another time when I know you better of what. I am the head boy as I've already told you and a Mork Ulv student. My older brother is the Head of House for Mork Ulv and is also the Potions Master, Dark Arts, and Animagi Professor. I want to follow in his footsteps...and become the Dark Arts Professor perhaps..I am also a native born Norwegian and I have never been anywhere else. Anything else you'd like to know?

[Shaylyn Menki]

Shaylyn thought it was weird that he didn’t think monkeys could be cute. Everyone that had ever seen her in her animagus form had said she was adorable and she thought so too. Maybe he just didn’t like monkeys in the first place. [pink]Yes monkeys can be cute. [/pink] She smirked, sticking her tongue out at him playfully. [pink] Especially if it’s a spider monkey because they’re so tiny and energetic and adorable. I’ll show you some time to prove my point. [/pink] He seemed to like the fact that she wanted to be a healer. She hadn’t planned on telling him much about that part of her life, but since he asked, she might as well. [pink] Well, when I was small, before I started wizarding school, my father started teaching me very simple spells that I could use if I needed to, and the ones I picked up the fastest were healing spells. Since then, and since I have gotten older, I found out that healing people is what I truly love to do. Its like my calling or something. [/pink] Opening up like this was strange for her, but with Cayden, she didn’t seem to mind, She didn’t know why, but even after only knowing him just a short time, she was very comfortable with him.

She listened intently to him telling her about himself. He definetly didn’t tell her as much as she told him, but it was enough to work with. [pink]You’re a metamorphagus as well as an animagus? I wasn’t aware that was even possible. Can you change appearance while in animagus form or just while normal? [/pink] She had never heard of a metamorphagus animagus before in her life and it fascinated her that Cayden was one. Metamorphagus’ were pretty rare as it was and as far as she knew she hadn’t met one of those either. [pink] I’ll probably meet your brother soon enough then, if he is a professor here. I think, if I remember my schedule correctly, I take two of those classes. So what made you so interested in persuing the dark arts? I’ve never actually taken a Dark Arts class in school, just defense, whats it like? [/pink] She felt like she was asking a lot of questions, and she didn’t want to be annoying, she figured she would stop, and let him answer what he wanted to before asking anything else.

[Cayden Stark]

Cayden smirked back as she stuck out her tongue. Usually he found it obnoxious when a teenage girl stuck out her tongue like a seven year old girl...but for some reason he doing it was adorable to him. He would really like her to prove him right about monkey's having a chance to be adorable...and for some reason she seemed cute enough to prove him wrong. She was different than most girls he had met...she actually interested him and he wasn't quite sure why. He listened to her explain how she got interested in Healing and was slightly fascinated with how she had learned some skill at such a young age. She was a very surprising girl. She was so cute and sweet...but also really quite intelligent. Healing was not an easy thing to learn or even an easy path to take...

As she responded to what he had told about himself he smiled politely...she was surprised by him being a Metamorphagus and a Animagus....not that he didn't expect her to be...only once had anyone other than him or his brother seen his true form and know the truth about him....he usually kept it quiet. He wasn't sure why he felt comfortable enough to tell her that but he did...How could it not be possible? Metamorphagus is something that was breed into me, while Animagus is something I forced myself to learn...it's a magic I picked up. I guess no one other than me really picks to learn animagi....most don't see the point when they have the power to change as is...but..I have never really been a normal Wizard. I strive to master the hardest arts...and I couldn't be satisfied without becoming and Animagus. And to answer your question... yes I can use my metamorphagus while in Animagus form...it's interesting to see I promise. He said winking at her with a huge grin.

Cayden leaned back as he thought, You will definatly meet my brother...Potions and The Dark Arts are required for every year your at Durmstrang...I choose the Dark Arts because it speaks to me over any other magic...there is a certain pull it has for me...it's hard to explain really...but with the Dark Arts I have free reign of the universe at my will. Most people think the Dark Arts are a bad thing...but really they just fail to see the beauty in it. He leaned forward and smiled at her, The Dark Arts will teach you the power to have anything at your grasp...unimaginable power...it kills the boundaries of life and death and takes the entire universe into the tip of your wand...The power you can learn....is breathtaking. He gave her a genuine smile and stared into her eyes for a moment...He touched her hand lightly, thank you for kicking a rock at me...It's really nice getting to know you.

[Shaylyn Menki]

Shaylyn listened to Cayden tell her about being both an animagus and a metamorphagus. She was surprised by how dedicated he was to pushing himself in things that might be hard. It showed that he had a lot of determination to be the best Wizard he could be. Not only was he extremely cute and easy to get along with, he was also smart, and nice, and she trusted him almost completely even though they only met an hour or so ago. [pink] Well, I hope someday I have a chance to see and then I’ll show you how adorable monkeys can really be. Then maybe we can run around in our animagus forms and play. Unless you’re something that eats monkeys…then that could be problematic. [/pink] She laughed at the thought of them running around in their animal forms: a spider monkey swinging from trees and…whatever Cayden was because he didn’t tell her.

She listened to his explanation about the why he chose the Dark Arts. [pink] It sounds like the Dark Arts are just misunderstood magic because it is so powerful and hard to control and because people don’t take the time to learn about it and understand it; people who practice it are labeled as “bad”. [/pink] She even made the little air quotes with her fingers as she said this. He was so passionate about the subject and it sounded like the way she talked about healing. She couldn’t explain why she loved in and what drew her in, but it called to her and that was all that mattered. [pink] I don’t judge anything and I don’t really have an opinion about the Dark Arts because I myself have never learned them. But anything you like so much couldn’t be that bad and I am excited to give it a try. [/pink]

She smiled and leaned her head against the couch again, her eyes meeting with his for a moment, feeling his hand touch hers lightly. [pink]I don’t want to say I’m glad that I hit you with a rock, but I will say I am really glad to have met you, not matter how strange of a way fate planned it to be in. [/pink] Ever so gently, she touched his hand with hers, feeling the warmth of his skin against hers. She had butterflies in her stomach, but at the moment she really didn’t care.

[Cayden Stark]

Cayden had to hold back a giggle at the idea of them running around any playing in their Animagus forms...especially with her mentioning as long as he wasn't something that would eat monkeys because it could be problematic. Did wolves eat monkeys? He couldn't say that he had ever heard of one eating a monkey....but of course they came from two total different sides of the equator. He thought of Adonis in his wolf form...werewolf to be exact....Adonis didn't care what he killed when he was in wolf mold...only that he killed it...He was happy that atleast in Animagus form the human side was stronger than the wolf...otherwise her dream of them playing could never be true. If she became close to him...she'd see him for the beast inside of him...in otherwords...hopefully she became close to him before realizing him for his true nature. Maybe she'd be different...and not push him away because of his beliefs and demons.

Well yes exactly my point...I'm glad you understand this...and I really would love to see you give it a try... as well as my brother would...He's a strict teacher but he means well for the nature of the subjects he teaches...potions and the dark arts are dangerous when in the wrong hands...

As she touched his hand the breath caught in the back of his throat. He hadn't expected her to make the effort to touch his hand..nor had he expect to see the look in her eyes so easily...He couldn't help but think of a beautiful exotic butterfly flying into the web of a poisonous spider... He stared into her eyes...loving the look of a natural spell that had fallen over her...and yes perhaps him as well. Shay...forgive me if I am being bold. He gave her an innocent smile, I have really enjoyed speaking with you and would like to continue to do so....So I was wondering if you would like to go with me into the town of Vakkar...its on the other side of the Russvatnet Lake...it's a really lovely town...full of various shops and a great place to hang out. I was going to go there tomorrow to look for a kitten....would you like to accompany me there? As sort of a date?

[Shaylyn Menki]

Shaylyn could see that Cayden thought the two of them playing around in their animagus forms was a funny idea. He looked as though he was trying really hard not to laugh and she understood why. Most people didn’t use their animagus forms to play around. It took years of hard and somewhat annoying training to become and animagus and most people took it very seriously. Shaylyn however, loved to turn into her spider monkey form and swing and climb the trees in the rainforests of Brazil; but there were no rainforests here in Norway. She wasn’t even sure if she had seen a normal forest around but she would have to double check on that.

[pink]I understand why he would have to be strict with subjects like that. It’s like he chose to teach all the most difficult and potentially deadly subjects if not done carefully. But I am really looking forward to the subject; learning new things is always an adventure. [/pink]

Shaylyn listened to Cayden, smiling as he did, her eyes locked on his as if by some sort of spell. She never felt anything like this before; She was so happy just being around him and talking to him that she wished that there were more hours in the day so that she didn’t have to stop talking to him. But a date was just as good. Her eyes lit up and she smiled sweetly (while also blushing furiously) as she answered him. [pink] I’ve never been to any of the towns nearby here and I would love to see it with you. Plus you’re going to get a kitten? I love kittens. They’re so adorable and fluffy. But yes, I’d love to go on a…date with you. [/pink] Her stomach felt like it was going to explode with butterflies but she wouldnt trade the feeling for anything.

[Cayden Stark]

Cayden waited in silence as the last words left his lips and he awaited her answer. He was slightly nervous...maybe because he was genuinely interested in a girl..and it wasn't just him trying to have arm candy on a trip to Vakkar....this would be different. Cayden had never wanted to actually merge into a relationship with any girl or guy, he didn't like the idea of settling down...but she seemed different...so might as well see what a date was like...with her.

He took a deep breath as she began to speak and kicked himself for being so nervous. Her words were like a wave of water washing over him and carrying him back to shore...he knew she'd say yes but that had not stopped him from worrying, Okay so we will meet in front of the school at 11 am? Is that okay with you? I'll borrow the school boat to take us there...just don't let anyone know we're using it...don't want people to get fussy. He winked at her and stood up, I got to go now hun...see you soon.



((reply here first then ill start a new one ))

[Shaylyn Menki]

Shaylyn couldn’t believe it; earlier today she was annoyed that she hadn’t made any friends in the few days she had been here and now, she had just accepted a date from probably one of the cutest guys in the whole school. She was happier than she had been in a long while, longer than she could remember. His words snapped her back to reality as she felt like she had been on a cloud a million miles away. [pink] 11 am? That sounds fine. I can’t wait.[/pink] She was so concentrated on making sure she engrained the time in her head that she almost didn’t notice him stand. Cayden said goodbye for now and Shaylyn smiled and waved. [pink]Ok then. See you tomorrow. [/pink] She watched him leave her common room and after he was out of sight, she rushed up to her room to start figuring out what she was going to wear for their date.

((sorry if it sucks, not in a great mood. you start the next thread?))

[Cayden Stark]
