Stepping into the Lake

[Rayl]

Wandering and letting herself be drawn into the water element in the Ianne Country, Rayl sighed contently as she look at the beautiful lake. It was breath-taking so to say, with its almost oceanic blue hue of the water. Beings such as shells, fishes and corals live in the Lake.

She stopped gazing forward at the Lake, she was not here anyway to adore the place; but to train her element.

But of course, she will train here in the Lake while stepping ON the lake. Yes, she can STEP ON the lake without even using some gears to levitate. Water is her element at all, and one of her skills is to step on the lake.

Rayl looked at her clothings, comprises of one of her black blouse and skirts with a black combat boots, she wears a dark red rugged cloak. She took off the said cloak as she started to walked on the lake.

But someone disturbed her from walking on the lake.

[Roy]

Roy has been wandering through the forests of Ianne for a few days now, but hasn`t met any village or even another traveler yet. He couldn`t get rid of the thought that he might got himself lost.

"Ahh, haven`t I seen exactly the same tree an hour ago or so?" he sighed in exhaustion as he climbed the trees huge roots. "Next time I make sure to get a map with me!" he blamed himself. Reaching out with his hand for a smaller root he pulled himself up and suddenly gazed at a beautiful lake that laid before him. A sweatdrop appeared at his head and he mumbled "If I walked past that tree last time, does that mean that I missed the exit and have been walking just next to that lake the whole time?....Just my luck."

Roy slided down the hill and made his way towards the surface. Falling on his knees he used his hands to dive into the soft, blue water and pulled them back to splash the comfortable and cooling liquid into his face. "Ah! Excellent!" he let out in relaxation. Alone for that refreshing moment it was definitely worth it to wander through that labyrinth of trees for such a long while.

Then he sat backwards on his bottom and dived with his left hand through his wet hair as he suddenly noticed someone. Roy caught sight of a girl that literally stood on the surface of the water. 'Now thats quite an ability.' he thought impressed and than raised a hand.

"Hey there!" he shouted over to her and greeted with a waving hand, being happy for finally meeting somebody.

[Rayl]

Rayl as she was doing so to train on the lake, suddenly looked at the side to see a guy who is waving at her happily. She sighed grimly as she look down, "Great. Another guy who seems to be acquainted to me..." she thought out, looking then under where her feet were. She saw water creatures who swims busily.

But of course, because she was in the new place. She should be good to others who also lives in there.

She sighed as she glanced at the guy and eyed him from head to toe, she nodded nonchalantly and continue what she was doing. And that is training more on stepping on the lake.

[Roy]

Roy lowered his hand as he noticed that the girl had recognized him. But she seemed pretty busy with whatever she was doing there. On the other hand she might just not be an outgoing person. Roy continued to watch her for a few minutes until he decided to stand up though.

Then he slowly made his way around the lake until he reached the point where he had the closest distance to the girl so that they could even have a little talk. If she was willing to.

Roy sat down on the ground again and was watching the girl walking on the surface again. Of course he wanted to speak to her, but on the other hand he didn`t want to disturb her either. It's not like he was in a hurry. So he just stayed calm and was watching the show.

[Rayl]

Rayl noticed an aura that seems to go a close distance to her, she tensed a bit but started to calm herself. If the guy like him do something to her, it will not be good because she might and will do attack him.

Her eyes open, as she looked around the lake to see the guy who looks at her friendly. She eyed him warily as she still stood on the lake.

[Roy]

As Roy was watching the girl moving gracefully over the water surface he was still busy in his mind to sort things out. Basicly there were only two choices. Either he starts a talk with her or he might sit like that for the next few hours watching the her. Not that this would be that bad, but he might scare her away with that.

So after a few more minutes Roy decided to speak up to her "Are all the people in this country silent like you?" For now he was just assuming that shes an inhabitant of this country. That makes it a lot easier to get her into a talk.

[Rayl]

"Are all the people in this country silent like you?"

Rayl couldn't help but raised an eyebrow at the question given by the guy. She sighed as she started to control the water elements below her.

She shook her head, answering the guy's question. As the water started to bubbled up below her, she levitate it as the water just below her hand were raising. "That was just me... I guess," she uttered out, starting to talk.

[Roy]

Roy smiled, when the girl replied to his question. Of course he didn`t gained any information about the girls background, but at least she replied and thats what counts.

Roy layed himself on teh gras next to the lake and was eying the sky now. He thought it would be much more comfortable for the girl if Roy wasn`t gazing at her all the time, whatever she was doing there. Even Roy would think kind of creepy of it.

So as he was eyeing the clouds he thought about what to reply next. It felt like some sort of game, but in truth Roy was just happy to finally crossed someones path again.

Roy watched a cloud and decided just to let his charme work. "Hmm.. Being quiet can be very reliving once in a while, but don`t you sometimes feel like theres something stuck inside of you that just needs to be let out ?"

[Rayl]

Rayl sighed as hshe looked at the guy who seems to be content or happy to see someone in this place. She rolled her eyes off at his statement. "I like my solitude more than anything or anyone else..." she answered out, suddenly looking at the ball formed water just above her hand.

Just as she played with her element in her hand, a sudden thought make Rayl to not continue her concentration. Making the ball of water make a small splat in front of her face. Making her face straightly wet, she narrowed her eyes at what happened and sighed.

[Roy]

Roy was still eyeing the clouds, so obviously couldn`t see how the girls face expression changed when she was listening to him. 'That's not sounding like a happy life to me....' Roy replied in his thoughts to the answer he received. He knew when it was better not to continue to dig into a conversation.

Just the splash drew Roys attention back to the lake, he turned around and he saw that water was dripping from her face. He smiled at that sight. It was not out of glee nor because he wanted to make fun out of her. It was a warm smile that just appeared on his face because it looked nice how the sun beams were reflecting on her face now.

Then Roy broke the silence, "Do you need a towel or something ?" he called out to her with the intention to help her somehow.

[Rayl]

"Do you need a towel or something ?"

Rayl sighed as she side glanced the guy, she just shook her head as she wipes off the remaining water that was splash by her. "No..." she uttered out thinking if she will just add a tiny, weeny gesture of appreciation. She grumbled and looked at him. "No, thanks..." she finally said as she glanced down at the lake below.

[Roy]

Roy wasn`t expecting that she comes over to him at all, but receiving thanks from her was just another step that was enough for Roy. Still he realized that he probably won`t get her any closer if he continues that way. So probably the most common way would be the easiest ?

Roy sat up as it became silent again and watched the girl again, curious on what shes up to now since shes staring at the water surface. "So, may I ask you name?" he asked calmly after a pause.

[Rayl]

Rayl knows that she have to communicate with others to know them better. She sighed as she nodded at the guy, "Enzan Rayl..." she let out cooly, as she once again looked at the water below her.

A pause and then she then looked at him, "You?"

[Roy]

Roy smiled at her when she revealed her name and even asked for Roys name after that. "Rayl Enzan... thats a nice name." Roy replied cheerful and added "My name is Roy, pleased to meet you." Then he stood up to get on Rayls eye level so that he was able to see Rayl and the water surface clearly.

The fact that he doesn`t know his last name lend to some weird moments in the past, so Roy decided to continue the conversation with another question.
"So, you can control the water right? Is it a magical skill? Or is it inherited?"

[Rayl]

"This element... it was inherited by us. We are of course a demon, but in my state; I am a half demon. A half water demon and human," she answered, finally giving some information about her.

She looked at the guy, whom stood up and looked at her. She couldn't help but feel unease, that she was standing on the lake while the guy is on the land.
