Leaving the Homestead

[Orisis]

At first, Orisis was not aware that Annette was standing beside him as he read, normally tuning out everything and everyone around him as he did. He would not have noticed her until she spoke up which caused him to snap out of his 'trance' and caused him to respond.

"Huh..? Oh! Yes I love to read.. All types of books I could get lost in for hours.. But what I love the most are books about magic, history, creatures.. Anything that shares knowledge! Although other books are very nice for passing time or just relaxing.. This one in general I enjoy very much.. Magic is a very strange, curious, and powering force.. Very mysterious and filled with all types of theories and ideas.. Oh but I'm sorry I went off on a rant when I should have just answered your question.. I could talk about magic for days!"

Although Orisis was shy when it came to normal conversation, magic was one of the topics that would break him out of his social awkwardness due to his enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject. But he knew it wasn't the time to go on rant on for hours about magic so instead he chucked and asked Annette in return: "Do you enjoy reading?"

[Silvine Knightwood]

"Ok Aragog, let's try a flip!" he ordered the wyvern.

He had been trying to get that flip attack for the last 15 minutes, but each time he got scared and almost fell off his wyvern.

"GAH!! STOP, STOP!!" he screamed.

Silvine was hanging about gripping the saddle on the wyvern. Aragog was flying to the ground.

Silvine felt the wyvern's tail smacking his face. Gah, it hurt! Just then, Silvine lost his grip and he fell. It was a good thing he as wearing his armour and he was only about 7 feet above ground. He fell with a thud.

"OWWW!" he screamed in pain.

He watched as wyvern landed smoothly. Boy, he was sure lucky to find a wyvern such as Aragog. This.. this was all his own fault! He definetly needed to get a good grip on his wyvern.

"Ugh... I feel dizzy. Sorry Aragog, I failed us. Let's try it again!" he said enthusiastically, and then fell to the ground out of dizzyness.

The wyvern gave a happy scream and then started licking Silvine's face.

[Annette]

Annette giggled. After she stopped, she put her finger on her lips. "First let me comment at your drastic change, Mr Orisis." She was teasing him, but in good way. "Well, I hope you will speak to me like what you did earlier. Please, don't speak nervously to me okay. We are probably in same age and we will be travelling together."

"Lets see...I do enjoy reading, but only novels and cooking guides. I usually avoid difficult books. Well, one of my favorite collection is "Adventure of Crowley." Annette smiled to him as she crossed her hands behind. "Well, our tastes seems different. But at least we have a same hobby."

She looked outside, pushing her hair off her eyes to see better. "Well, Silvine is waiting for us. Lets go."

[Orisis]

Orisis, now felt more embarrassed now than before. He know that he would eventually have to speak more since he was recruited but he still was not good when it came to conversations, what was inappropriate or how to really apologize if he did say anything by accident.. Ah he would learn in due time.

Orisis knew or at least thought he knew that Annette meant well but he could not help but feel awkward, it had been a very long time since he had interacted with a person and to him it still felt very strange to be thrown into a social environment like this so suddenly.

"S-Sorry.. It's just that I'm not very used to speaking with other people.. I-It's not your fault.." He responded to her tease, not noticing she was actually teasing him. Orisis would listen carefully to the books that she enjoyed knowing if he possibly could have read them or not, unfortunately he would have never seen a cookbook in his life.

"And if you would like.. Sometime I could help you with a magic book or two.. It would be n-nice to talk about such things with someone.." He offered before putting his book away into his back before readying himself to leave, his journey would be much more fun if he could actually talk magic to someone who wasn't in danger of becoming a husk.

"Yes.. Let's get going shall we?"

[Annette]

"Sounds fun. We can do it later in our free time." Annette smiled. She nodded and opened the door to go outside.

They found Silvine and his wyvern, Annette giggled when she saw them. "You two looked like good buddies," she said as she walked towards them. Brushing Aragog's neck, she remembered when she was riding this blue wyvern with Silvine. She was really scared that time.

"We are ready, Silvine."

[Orisis]

(OOC: Sorry I've been really sick.. Food poisoning and the like.. No fun x.x)

Orisis gave off a wide grin, excited at the prospect of speaking on an arcane level with someone which he had not done in some time. Once he double checked to make sure he had everything he needed he would head out the door and follow after Annette since he forgot where he was supposed to meet Silvine.

"Ah! T-T-That's a wyvern!!" Orisis screamed out in delight once he had spotted the grand creature, having read about them so much and not have seen one in person he was quite excited now that he was finally able to see one in person.

"They are just as grand as I read in my books oh yes truly remarkable.. I have to make note of this.." Orisis then blanked out as he thought to himself making many mental notes of the creature in front of him.

[Silvine Knightwood]

"Ah Annette, Orisis, Theodor! Good to see you all. I guess you're ready then?" he asked all of them.

"Yes we are, Silvine, you nitwit. Otherwise we wouldn't have showed up, now would we?" Theodor said irritably.

Silvine sighed and hit his face with his palm. Why did he even try?

He then heard Orisis scream about wyverns. Ah...he must have liked Aragog. He went on about them, saying,"They are just as grand as I read in my books oh yes truly remarkable.. I have to make note of this.."

"Well Orisis, wyverns are tough beasts to tame. It takes a lot of effort and pain to earn their trust... trust me. Even so, flying on them is harder." Silvine replied enthusiastically.

"Anyways, we're off. All of you, hop on to Aragog. We're going." he said, and after everyone hopped on, they left. Silvine made note that he would have to train with Aragog again sometime later... and talk a bit with Orisis.

OoC: I've recently got out of my bad phase, I'll be sure to post frequently again.
