"I guess we all have lost someone. Look at the bright side though, we are all here together and will be there to help each other out" Aureliano said in a sad tone to both ladies. He then stepped outside and walked toward Azador "Sir," he said, "I believe I have yet to catch your name. My name is Aureliano." said the boy, now extending a hand to Azador.

Arrika looked at Sakiko, concerned. Her story was sure to go a lot deeper than what the mage had made it seem. "Isn't he sweet? I've got this weird desire to hug him," she said in a teasing tone instead. "I've never told strangers so much about Kobas before... it's weird how you two suddenly made me want to open up..."

A light wind blew, tossing her black bangs past her face, the sunlight slight blinding her for a moment. Suddenly the sad atmosphere seemed to lift, her melancholy being carried away on the winds. She almost started to laugh at Aureliano's trusting ways. "Hey, Aurel! You're too friendly, you know? That guy could bite off your hand for all you know..." She almost envied him for seeming so carefree compared to herself.

Sakiko laughed along, her gray eyes twinkling. She sat up quickly, and for some reason, she couldn't stop laughing. The image of Azador, with a seemingly 'mysterious' attitude, biting off Aureliano's hand sent her off into a fit of giggles.

"Hah!"

Sakiko sucked in some air and got up. She walked towards Aureliano, wanting to greet Azador as well. Sakiko stood by Aureliano, and turned to Arrika with a grin.

"You're right, I do have this strange urge to hug him too!"

Instead, the young mage turned her attention towards Azador.

Azador shaked Aureliano's hand.
"the name is Azador greenfield, and if I'm not mistaken you're aureliano, correct?
I heard Sovelis talking about you in the tavern, but I never had the change to meet you in person."

A smile appeared on Azador face, a false one... he fellt terrible, maybe he was just worrying to much. All he could is try to look happy.

"hehehe... and you really don't have to worry about me eating your hand,
I don't like meat that much and besides, I have already eaten."

Aureliano chuckled at Azador's joke. "Yes I am Aureliano. So you heard Sovelis speak of me? What did he say, if you do not mind me asking, of course." he asked Azador. "Also, why do you appear upset? Does something bother you?"

Sakiko looked at Azador, then back at Aureliano. Whoa, Aureliano seems to have this mood detecting power or something, because Azador looks plently happy to me...but then of course, his aura is...is... Sakiko frowned, then shrugged. She couldn't quite put a point to what his emotions felt like at the moment.

The young mage turned to Aureliano and said with a smile in her voice,

"You seem quite famous around here..."

OoC: What can I say? Aureliano is a Cancer, and Cancer's are great with moods (so I've read).

IC: "Me? Famous? Aureliano laughed a bit, but stopped not wanting to insult Sakiko. "No offence, but I think I am as famous as that stick over there," he stated pointing to a stick nearby. "I do know a few people, but I doubt the word of new adventurers goes around that fast." said Aureliano modestly. "So Sakiko, did you always live in Hyrule?"

" it's nothing.... some personal problems" he said,
answering Auerliano's qeustion.
"live can get complicated sometimes"

Azador was surprised that aureliano could see through his smile.

"But going on these adventures keeps my mind focused on the mission,
and I forget my worries...but just standing here makes them come back."

he sighed,

"but about Sovelis" he said trying to take the conversation on a diffrent subject.
"He said you fought together with him against some stalchilderen. Not much."

Sakiko scowled at Aureliano playfully.

"You know that you're too humble for your own good, right?"

She tipped her head to one side and answered to his second remark,

"Well, I lived in South Hyrule."

She yawned and stretched, turning over to look at Arrika. Sakiko was about to open her mouth to say something when she saw the Sheikah's eyes.

"Whoa! Arrika!"

The young mage gaped at the teen with big, silver eyes.

"Your...your eyes! They're...red?!"

Aureliano looked into Arrika's eyes when Sakiko burst out with her question. They seemed to have a very faint red hue in them, but he realized this was only from the postion of the light.

"Actually Sakiko, I think they are pitch-black." the young Hylian said. He then added, "They are still lovely, nonetheless." He did not want the two to argue again. "So how did you get your hair silver?" He asked Sakiko.

"Azador, I know it may be a touchy subject for you to talk to with a stranger, but if you need any help I'll be more than glad to offer it to you." Aureliano said, now directing his word to Azador.

"Red? Heh?" The Sheikah said, confused. So you'e a therapist now? Call me when he
does bite a limb off so I can steal you one of Sovelis's metal arms. Arrika said telepathically instead. "Well, I got my money and whatnot, so I'll be off... See ya, Aurel, Sakiko..." The thief turned away lightly on her toes with a swirl of her cloak, waving and striding away humming the peppy song she'd heard Sovelis sing at the oracles performance.

Sakiko blushed, leaving a pink stain on her pale face. She lowered her eyes and murmured,

"I swore I almost saw a red tint..."

The young mage stared off as Arrika went away, almost feeling empty...she was almost beginning to like that Sheikah. Sakiko bit her lips as she turned to Aureliano, cating down her silver eyes.

"I am..pretty sure that my hair was always silver. But then of course, this is unusual, as all my relative that I know of have...dark hair. As a matter of fact, my aunt used to have dark features, sort of like you, Aureliano. I seem to be an anomaly of the family. Heh."

Sakiko sighed, and looked around her surroundings carefully. She shaded her eyes from the afternoon sun as she looked up at the giant oak, now silent. The mage turned to the two others and said,

"Sorry, I forgot something."

The teen extended her arms toward the trees, and began to climb with ease. She thought, Of course, I have been climbing trees for the past...what, ten years? She scrambled towards the thick limbs, her bare hands clutching the rough bark carefully.

Aurel. simply laughed Arrika's comment off. "See ya!" he simply said, to both Sakiko and Arrika. "I hope we see more of each other." And he was off, walking a long dusty trail towards home. By now he was imagining about steaks and lobsters. Azador's food had made im hungry.

Sakiko sat on the tree branch, and waved as Aureliano went away. She grabbed her staff from the tree, as she had lost her grip of it during the fall. Once she had done this, she slid down the tree and hit the ground with a small thump. Well, everyone was leaving, so she might as well. Sakiko said her goodbye to Azador and stepped lightly away.
