Hello cruel world...

[LavyBrown]

Lavy sighed. "It's it always?" she said looking up at the dark and rainy sky.

[member1266]

Psy laughed and said,"Then I will watch you closely for any signs of weirdness."

[_Lavender_]

"Usually, yes, Lavy, it is," Lavender voiced, shaking her head. "You know that."

Lavender's moody green eyes looked the male over from toe to topmost hair, and she smiled, interested in his being.

"Come, then, to the forest we march. Lavy, when we return, perhaps we can meet you later?"

Lavender inclined her head in Lavys direction, offered a smile, then turned, and started into the forest.

Psy shrugged and followed. He held his hand in the air and fire engulfed it. It served as a light to their path. His wand stayed safe in his pocket though he knew that he would never use it. The death of his grandfather caused him to not ever want to use it again.

[_Lavender_]

Lavender tipped her head in his direction, her head inclining just slightly, before facing before them yet again.
"Thank you," said she quietly.

Lavender made through the undergrowth easily, her bare feet padding soundlessly as she lead the way. Though they were traveling quickly, there was still a great way to go.

[member1266]

Psy followed her with difficulty. He had stayed inside a lab for most of his life and when he had ran away,he lived on the street. He was not use to going through trees. Weaving his body around,he made sure that he didn't start a forest fire with his hand.

[_Lavender_]

Lavender noted his trouble, and come a clearing, she completely stopped. She turned and placed a hand on his chest to stop him in his tracks, then, with her cold hands, took his with the fire, and closed upon him, the fire diminishing with her touch. Then, she released him.
Lavender smiled at the male.

"I am sorry for that, my usual pace through rough terrain is not normal for nearly all those that try to keep up. And about burning this forest down..."

With her left hand, she took his same hand, turning it palm up. Then, with her right, she placed her palm upon his, just briefly, removing her hands completely after a moment. There, dancing in his hand, was a sea blue, cold flame. The flame lit greater volume than normal fire, but was cold, and could burn nothing. Its purpose was only light.

"This power is not all to easy to attain, but if you search your thoughts, I have flagged a map as to using it. Hopefully, this small gift is repayment enough. I am very appreciative to your kindness."

[member1266]

"Thank you and you should not be appreciative. My kindness has bitten me in the a** before. I'm just being myself."He smiled at her and looked at the flame in his hand.

[_Lavender_]

"You are most welcome. If that is so, then it is ever more so, refreshing, to meet you."

Lavender returned his smile, and started off again into the forest, though this time, she held his free hand within hers, leading him. To the farthest right end of the forest they traveled, and in one of the greater, rockier clearings, she slowed, released his hand, and moved quieter. She made to a black lump beneath an angling outward crook of the sheer rock cliff, kneeling, and removing from the gap a sleeping panther cub. Lavender stood, set the cub into the crook of her arm, and mastered her raven hair to be a thick blanket about its body.
She moved back over to the male with again, soundless feet.

"There. I knew, something was amiss here."

Lavender shifted for a moment, then became still beneath the pale light of the flame in his hand.

"By the way, what 'tis your name?"

[member1266]

"Oh,I'm sorry. Between helping you outta puddles and going through woods I must have forgotten to tell you. I'm Psy Kentra."

[_Lavender_]

Lavender smiled, and inclined her head in greeting.

"I am Lavender, Lavender Potter. Most pleased to have met you, Psy."

She smiled once more, then made back toward him, for he was standing at the direction of the castle.

" 'Tis late," said she, "surely I have wasted enough of your time already. If you wish to leave now, I assure you no offence will be taken, for I still need to return her to her denmother."

[member1266]

"Nah, I can't sleep anyway so I might as well acompany you."He paused and looked embarresed,"That is if you want me to. I didn't mean to sound too..."His voice trailed off as if trying to find a word that wasn't there.

[_Lavender_]

Lavender waved off the word with a simple shrug of her thin, but strong shoulder.

"Ay, no worries. Your company is welcomed, Psy."

She winked a dazzling, moody green eye, and laughed ever so softly, as not to awaken the cub.

[member1266]

Psy smiled and nodded,"That's good to hear."He said almost to himself. Looking at the cub he petted it softly enough that it wouldn't wake.

[_Lavender_]

Lavender returned the smile, and nudged him gently with her elbow.
"Come, this way, then," she said, starting a bit off to the side, toward the heart of the forest.
Her pace was slow and eased; trained. Progress through the undergrowth was anything but quickly moving, but more of a relaxed pace.
