Adventurer of Vana&#39;Diel

Alright.

[To Reno before he could take off and thank him later if he ever came back with those frames.

Right now, she was fighing to force back those tears and consider having some soup so she can have some strength back.]

From:

[Jinx notices that Cat is eying the tray of food that he made for her. He heads over to the table and holds out the chair like a gentleman.]

Here.

From:

[Castiel doesn't really know how to deal with crying anyones, so he stands up and awkwardly pats her on the shoulder.]

Go and eat, Cat.

From:

[She inhaled a bit of air and wiped at her eyes, nodding before moving off of the bed and to the chair. Those ears of hers were still down as she started to spoon the soup and took a sip from it.

Agh! It was somewhat colder than she liked.

Unable to help herself, she started to cast Enfire, this time successful. Her hand lit on fire for a brief moment before disappearing and she snapped her fingers to keep the flame going. Such a weird way to reheat soup...]

From:

[Castiel, who had never really seen many outward signs of magic from Cat, looks visibly surprised by this show of magic. However, he'll leave it for right now, for a time when she's not so upset.]

From:

[Jinx is going to just sit back and watch. He has never really been the type to believe in magic, even if he has seen it up close with Pamela.

Well, Zuko as well, but that doesn't count.]

So yer gonna tel us what was up with ya' er what.

From:

[After taking a few spoonfuls of the warm soup, she puts down the utensil and wipes at her mouth for a brief moment. She turns her head towards Jinx then to Castiel before looking down at her lap.

So, they heard her screaming to nothing; probably thinking she's insane now. She sighs before opening her mouth to speak, at least she was a bit louder than before.]

I was trying to reassure myself that I wasn't going to become an Ark Angel. I had a lot of... jealousy built up at other people on the boat, the ones who have friends or people from their world.

[She waited for their responses.]

From:

[Don't expect a nice, sweet response from Jinx.]

I bet ya' do, just none that ya' recognize.

[Apparently Razer and Kleiver were from the same wold as Jinx even though he had never seen either of them ever.]

From:

Cat. I understand that you would wish for someone familiar, but you need not feel envious of those who have someone from their home. You can make new connections on the boat.

[Castiel may fail at comforting, but he does have a way with words, at least.]

From:

[Castiel was right about that, although Jinx's comment annoyed her.]

All I've seen on this boat is Elvaans and Humes, there's no other Mithras or Tarutarus or Galkas. I would reconize someone from my world if they mentioned any of our races or the nations we choose to live in.

[There was a huff at Jinx before looking to Castiel.]

I know but... I really miss hearing my friends' voices. My linkshell and signal pearl won't work here, they're my only means of hearing from them again.

From:

I assume I'm an Hume?

[Jinx is going to completely ignore that glance that Cat gave him. He didn't mean any harm at all.]

From:

You're an Elvaan.

[She pointed at his ears.]

Your ears are longer than the others and most of the time, tower over the other races in height.

[She pointed to Castiel, dropping her hand back to her side.]

He would be a Hume, even if he isn't really one.

[Now back to her soup for a moment! Yum~]

From:

[That's a bunch of crap, Cat. Jinx is completely human and he knows it.]

No. It's cause everyone else is a round ear.

From:

[Once again, she put down the spoon and moved to grab a picture of an Elvaan (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v368/JocCatpaw/Final%20Fantasy%20XI/romy.jpg), it was a shot of her friend and assistant, Romidiant. She brought it over for Jinx to look.]

See? He's an Elvaan, just like you.

From:

Doesn't look anythin' like mine. Th' ears are too big.

From:

[Castiel moves to stand between the two of them, looking back and forth between them.]

Excuse my intrusion, but you do not look like the humans I have seen. But, Cat, that does necessarily mean he is not a human. Every world is different.

From:

[Another good point, Cas. The Mithra sighed and moved away.]

Sorry about that.

[She put the photo back in its collection before taking a seat again. It was obvious she felt bad about the ordeal. She went back to eatting her soup.]

From:

[Castiel pats Cat on the shoulder again. Sometimes, he wished he knew more about human interaction. Then he realizes something and looks at Jinx.]

I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself properly. I am Castiel.

From:

Name's Jinx.

[He speaks very flatly.]

From:

[Castiel has no idea that this is not normal for Jinx, so he just nods in greeting.]

Nice to meet you.

From:

Same here.

[Jinx isn't used to these formal introductions.]

From:

[Cas manages to make his own friends uncomfortable, he's just that good. He moves and takes a seat on Cat's bed, ]

Cat, will you be alright on your own tonight?

From:

[She had better be alright on her own tonight. Jinx is a busy man.]

Cause' Cas over here wouldn't mind stayin' here.

From:

[The quiet Catpaw had spent the past few minutes poking at a bowl of pudding. It didn't appear to have eyes or tried to cast magic on her... She was about to cast Blizzard on it before Castiel asked for her attention.]

Huh? Ah...

[She looked away and scratched at her neck, right where that tattoo was.]

If anyone doesn't mind... I'd like someone to be near by.
