This Place.. (Levi/Merc)

[Levitas]

After joining Griffin Wing Levitas Cavalier had been busying himself with missions one after another he had been suggested by a fellow Guild Member to take a break and go on a mini vacation. After taking a look at the map he was given he decided on venturing to West Fiore and checking out a ruined castle which was said to hold some historical significance.

As he showed up with his signature mask and sword along with a cloak he was wearing lately. He was running his hands along part of the ruins which seemed to have been sliced off by something. "This all feels.." he said as his voice trailed off a bit.

[Merc]

Riley yawned a bit, a little oblivious to her surroundings, as she had deemed the ruins safe enough for the moment, after having just completed a mission in them. She slid her hands into the pockets of her jacket, seeming a little bored as she exhaled, she slowed a bit, staring skywards as she contemplated using her magic to fly herself back to Onibas and the guild.

Upon remembering the stack of paperwork and such sitting on her desk, her expression went completely blank. With a bit of a sigh she trod forwards, apparently deciding to take her time instead of rushing herself back to the guild. Silently she scaled to the top of a partially fallen wall, stalking along it in utter silence, despite the fact that she was wearing somewhat heavy looking boots. Her jacket blew about gently in the wind, and as she stalked along the wall, she noticed that she was not alone in the ruins, rather, a member of her guild seemed to have ventured there as well.

Grinning a bit, she sat herself down on the wall, curious to see how long it would take him to realize that she was there. Crossing one leg over the other, she rest her hands gently in her lap, patiently remaining perched on the wall while she waited to be noticed - or, if it took him too long, perhaps she would find a way to make him notice.

[Levitas]

Levitas had been reminiscing for a bit about his past when he sensed a presence in the area. Quickly moving his eyes from left to right he finally realized the magic power was coming from above him. He moved his head up to be greeted by somewhat long legs and boots which seemed to belong to a woman. So he backed up and was greeted by the face of his Guild Master Riley Aquilla.

"Odd running into the Master all the way out here." he said as he reached up to his face and removed his mask. He normally wouldn't but Riley was the only one who knew what his face looked like. After he removed the mask it could clearly be seen that his hair had grown longer. "Riley. Slacking off on paper work per usual?" he said with a smile as he waited for her to answer him.

[Merc]

Riley smiled a little to herself, resting her hands in her lap and leaning forwards a bit, she watched as he sensed her presence and searched around for her - finally looking upwards to spy her. Sliding off of the wall, she landed lightly in front of him, allowing herself to lean her back slightly on the crumbled wall. She watched as he removed his mask, "I just happened to be out this way on a mission," she replied, though judging from her leisurely state it was already over and done with.

She laughed a little at his teasing, pushing herself off of the wall some, "Well, you know how it is. All work and no play makes Riley a dull girl," she replied, sticking her tongue out a bit, "so what brings you all the was out here, Levi? If you're looking to get rid of the monster's here, I'm afraid you're a bit late," she commented, looking to him a bit curiously, for still toting around the mask and insisting on wearing it.

[Levitas]

Levitas smiled at Riley. He was glad to have someone intelligent enough to match his wit and understand his jokes. Even if she was his Guild Master he saw her more as an equal than anything.

"What brings me out here? I was told by the Guild that I needed to take a break. Apparently taking excessive missions isn't exactly "recommended" so I decided to come out here to relax for a while." he said before he sat down on a broken ruin which was protruding out of the ground.

[Merc]

"Ahh, yes, now that I think about it I heard the book keepers mention it," she remarked, shifting a little as she brought her hands to rest on her hips, "though, this is a bit of a weird spot to vacation, given the monsters and bandits and such that like to venture around here," she mused, one hand raising to tap her chin thoughtfully.

Her green eyes fixated upon the member of her guild, and she eyed him a bit curious, tilting her head a little as she did so, "still donning that mask everywhere?" She asked, though it was more of a statement as she was pretty certain that this was the case.

[Levitas]

Levitas smiled before saying "I suppose. However you shouldn't underestimate a Mage's strength. Especially one in your own guild." he said in a teasing manner before he addressed her second question. "Well..yes and no. I've been wearing it more sparingly. There are a few who have seen my face including you. I'd like to think of it..as extra security when it comes to missions." he said before he stood up himself to face her. It seemed he had gotten a bit taller and his hair longer ever since he was traveling. At least since when Riley and him last met.

[Merc]

Riley chuckled a little at his words, "I suppose you're right," she mused, though it, of course, had not been a statement that she had made in doubting his strength, more like she knew she would not find it very relaxing to visit a place that had the potential to hold so much trouble. Perhaps she was becoming a bit of a lazy guild master? She smiled a little at the thought, leaning back on her heels a bit as there was a fluttering of wings, and suddenly a barn owl had perched upon her shoulder, looking to Levi with an air of disinterest.

As he stood, she smiled a bit, "I see you've grown some," she teased, reclining a little on her heels as she did so, "if you keep going, one of these days you might get to be as tall as me," she teased, as he was already quite a bit taller than she was.

"I'm glad to hear that you're not hiding behind the mask as much anymore," she pointed out soon after, tone genuine, "we don't do good things for thanks, but it's nice to let people recognize you and your work," she smiled, casting a glance around as she did so.

[Levitas]

Levitas laughed at her sarcastic joke at his height. It was true that he had grown some from all the traveling..but then again Riley was always pretty short even though she was the Guild Master.

As she spoke about him not wearing his mask so much he thought it funny. "Indeed we don't do good deeds for thanks. Honestly I don't do it for recognition either. I just do it because I have to." he said as he stretched. He couldn't get used to the fact that he was't doing anything..it made him want to go do a mission but he had given his word. So for right now he seemed pretty antsy.

Riley asked, leaning herself back on her feet a little as she did so. The young woman licked her lips softly, casting a glace around the ruins as she did so. Things were oddly peaceful there now, it almost seemed unnatural. Regardless, she turned her gaze back to Levi, giving him a bit of a smile as she did so, "Still, you should at least let your guild mates get to know you a little better," she fell into silence for a moment, then slowly sighed, "ah, I'm chiding like an old house wife again," she murmured, raising a hand to rub a little at her face. "Of course, you may do as you please," she assured, not wanting to discourage him from his choices. RILEY'S MANA REMAINING: /150 ATLAS' MANA REMAINING: /100 NOTES: made by FLOU of GS.
