Nym smiled as she hesitantly took his hand, afraid of any negative emotion he might be harboring; but as she took his hand she burst into laughter "Wow! Alrighty then," she looked him in the eye dead on "you must really be changing me."
John smiles then laughs along with her as he twines his fingers with hers as they walk then finds he has trouble responding with anything when she looks him dead in the eyes. So instead he takes a moment to study her eyes and her facial features "Hmm….Your eyes are such a pretty color.."
She smiled and blushed "Oh, really?" looked down briefly "I don't know what color they are. They always change. Usually because of my mood."
Jackie turns to Adeline. "Yes, what is it? Is something wrong?"
John smiles and nods "I know and that is what makes your eyes so pretty Nym. Also….do you want to walk around the park ? Or walk somewhere randomly? John rubs the back of his neck feeling nervous for no reason then shake his head and chides himself for acting like a teen
Nym giggles at his gesture "Um, let's walk around aimlessly. I'm pretty good at direction so I'm sure I can find my way back."
John nods and as he and Nym walk he starts to hum an old home tune he learned then John turns to look at Nym and asks "So how powerful can a castor get? And if you dont feel like telling …You can ask me any question you want."
Nym listens to John hum a sweet tune, as he turns Nym stares straight "We can as powerful as we want. You'd never believe my grandma is my grandma because she looks so young due to the amount of training she had with her power. We sometimes can kill others with our power, or even ourselves if we aren't careful. But I do have a question for you."
John nods as he listens then murmurs softly "Yes? What kind of question do you have?
Nym spoke softly "How old do I look?"
John frowns and looks at Nym for a second "Hmm….You look …like your at least 20…Am I wrong? " john hesitates unsure if his answer will anger Nym
Nym smiled wide and chuckled "I'm 27 to be exact. A seven year difference is good in the caster world." Nym closed her eyes and slowly released her senses to touch. She felt John's warmth, she was avidly aware of how his body moved as they walked. She had also noticed that she walked differently than normally, usually she was clumsy or unsure, at that moment she walked with confidence "Any other questions you have for me?"
John smiles and is slightly surprised at her age then laughs softly to himself "No, You are just a different type of castor then I have ever seen. I only remember meeting the original castors centuries ago. They were erractic and quite scary … Over time and eventually meeting you and learning with you has greatly changed my opinion of them." As john talks he absentmindedly rubs his thumb over Nyms thumb as they walk
Nym blushed "Oh, is that so? When was the last time you encountered a caster, if I may ask?"
John ponders for a long moment then grins "I was in Italy it was …Hmmm…..I forgot what year but it was at least four hundred years ago. The castor I met was a shy little orphan…And one day she snapped and leveled a few buildings. Still to this day I have no idea how she managed to do so, but several hour after a group came in to pick her up. They called themselves castors and that was the last I seen of them". john stops pulling Nym to a stop with him "Think we should walk back now? We walked pretty far"
"Oh, hmm. Interesting." Nym grinned and tilted her head to the side listening to his heart, waiting for the test "We can get back a lot quicker another way. Do you trust me?"
John nods knowing he completely trusts her "Yes, but you already knew the answer to that question before you asked silly"
Nym smirked and slowly dropped into a crouch "I know, just needed insurance." She sprang up holding his hand still and from her back grew to large wings a similar color to her sandy brown hair. She flew and listened to his heart making sure that he wasn't having a major panic attack. He may have been a lot bigger than her, but her ability caused her strength to increase as she flew. She landed in a small clearing a little ways away from where she parked and set John down gently. She laughed as she landed. "What a rush! Did you drive down here, do I need to drive you to your car?"
John laughs when she sets him down and pulls her into a gentle hug and murmurs softly "You know that I have wings too right? And I think I would have won in a race against you!" John pokes her side playfully and smirks
Nym's face boils, red hot, she felt childlike and small in his arms "I know, I'm sure you would. I'm still learning." Nym giggles and looks up at him with a million questions in her eyes, but she repressed the all
John gazes back down at Nym and smiles then after long moment he replies with "I think you would love it on my home world. There are amazing spots to fly out and see , its really breath taking.
Jackie looks over to see John leaving with Nym. "Sorry Adeline I have to go! WAIT UP JOHN! YOU SAID WE COULD SPEND THE DAY TOGETHER!"
Nym mumbled under her breath to herself 'you're really breath-taking', but instead spoke "Um, I'm sure I would. I don't get to fly often, I'm still trying to work on my shield from the Menschen. Sorry, humans. When I'm nervös bin. Ich sprechen Deutsch. Ah, sorry." places a hand on her temple
Its fine…sometimes I tend to speak in Italian. Plus its quite cute when you do speak in german Nym" John smiles and slowly lets Nym out of his grasp with a small chuckle
Adeline stood, dumbfounded. "uh okay." she whispered under her breath. With a shake of her head, she got in her car and drove down into the woods. Once out of her car, she sipped her coffee as she walked down the small gravel trail that nobody took anymore. When she came out at her pond, she took off her coat and jeans to reveal a bathing suit she'd slipped on before leaving the house. Finishing her coffee and setting it down, she dipped her toes into the cool water. Perfect she thought, and jumped in. For a few seconds, the water froze her through. Ice spilled through her. Then, all was normal, and she was able to breath.
Under the water.
Nym frowned and mumbled "Es ist nicht süß. We should go." Nym discreetly shivered from the cold John left behind, but suddenly her eyes fluttered and her knees buckled underneath her
( Kinda lost….And SO SORRY HOPE I PROMISE TO INCLUDE YOU …DONT FEEL LEFT OUT I PROMISE!!! OMG)
John panics slightly seeing Nym fall slightly and grabs her to hold her up " Nym?! Whats wrong?!" John doesnt wait for her answer as swiftly picks her up in arms and carries her home. Once there he get her inside and lays her back on her couch
(Joellapod I'll try to meet you somehow)
Nym's eyes fluttered, when he laid her on the couch her fireplace burst into flames. The flames licked up around the wood causing Nym to sweat. Her hand twitched slightly and then all at once everything stopped. Her eyes stopped fluttering, the fire died down to just the embers, but her hand still twitched. She began to mumble something in a raspy tone. "Es ist okay, ich werde in Ordnung sein."
