[attr="class","naxscroll"] Boredom... Boredom was all the feeling that a young magic knight was feeling at the time. It was during the day when this feeling began. Naxel was sitting down at his desk within his office on the 1st floor of the base. Everyone else that shared the room with him was doing other tasks for the day. Not the young Noble, though. He was at his desk scurrying through a bunch of paperwork that continued to accumulate each day that came and went. Nothing really ever changed when it came to paperwork. It felt like this is what his job had come to as being a member of the Magic Knights. Every now and then he would gain a mission to relieve him from this horrible nightmare. Today just didn’t seem like the day where something as good as a mission would present himself. So, he figured that he had to just endure the pain a little while longer before the day would end.[break][break]
Luckily, as a few minutes had went on, a knock had come to his door that sounded familiar. Not many people come knocking on a door where intermediate ranked Knights worked. The floor of the base where they, and juniors, worked was really ran by higher Intermediate ranked Knights. But with this knock sounded like a knock that he would usually get everyone and a while by a close colleague. In fact it happened to be the person that Naxel thought. When the door opened up Naxel had seen that it was the Knight from the missions office. Naxel doesn’t usually get too excited when he gets visitors at his office, but this man was always a delight to see. “How is the paperwork coming along?” He spoke with his normal low dullish tone. “Same ole same ole. Ready to just chunk everything on my desk out the window if I wouldn’t get in trouble with Captain Carmelita.” Naxel giving his response back while also leaning back in his chair. “True... Well I wanted to come by to let you know we are excepting a new member of the squad today. Orders came down that you are to greet and show them around. Figured it would be better than dealing with penny thieves paperwork.” Naxel heard these words, and quickly began to show stars of excitement in his eyes. It was something that is allowing him to get away from his desk for a little while. He would then nod at the man in understanding, and would run out the door before the man could even blink. All that was left was a trail of dust in his office as he made his way towards the Grand Entrance of the base.

As far back as his middle class family went, there was a history of creating or playing music for money. It was a way that everyone kept close, a bond that connected the older and younger generations. They tended to only marry others who were in professions centered around music. It was a sort of lifestyle where those in it tended to think they could hear the world when the truth was typically either their own heart, or those within their social bubble. The words and songs of the heart could be blinding, binding, shimmering with the light of ones dreams, past, and possible futures. It was a sort of symphony of the heart, the difficulty of seeing or hearing outside it ranging from person to person. Cobborn came from a family of fairly high walls that had been kicked and tested when a certain family member had lost themselves from the sorrow of loss. His tiny bubble had been crushed and silenced, allowing all the sounds from outside of it to rush in. Internal silence was the best thing to ever occur for the young peach haired man, because it was what pointed him in a different direction. No matter what scars that time had left, it was still why Joseph had picked this path. There had been a lot of effort put into this so far and it was really only the start. It was strange to call it a start when getting into a squad wasn't really a task everyone could pull off, but that was how life is. The tune of the wind was quiet and calm, as one might expect on a day full of sunshine and calm temperament. This was only from the weather, but he might never get to the proper destination on time if he just let himself be too distracted. The azure deers headquarters. Being so close to entering the building started to make everything really sink in, causing their steps to hasten a bit. Was it to get ready to start this new chapter, or to learn all the tunes within? Maybe it was both. The feelings where brushed aside, as well as the words trying to bubble up in the mind. There was no need to push on figuring out such silly things when so much was going to begin starting that day. Of course in having such a horrible focus when not in a serious situation, their big peachy pink eyes begun to wonder a bit around the room, his body slowly starting to respond to music that only he could hear. It was the sound of someone coming that was a firm reminder that just because nobody was in danger didn't mean it wasn't important to stay focused right now. It didn't matter how much curiosity and a want for exploring tempted itself, no matter how tempting new views and sounds were. A gentle smile widened on their face a bit, his attention caught by the arriving figure. Well it was definitely not nice for an important person to see the less flattering sides of him, but that was more than likely going to happen eventually anyway. “Good day to you sir, I'm a new recruit named Joseph Cobborn. Sorry, I can get a little distracted by new things.” His voice sounded relatively normal and cheerful, save for the sing song tune he put to each word.
[attr="class","naxscroll"] By the short time it took Naxel to get to the stairs he had decided to take his movements a little slower. The spirals of the stair cases were a beautiful feature to the base, but they can be a death trap if moving too quickly on them. Naxel was always excited when it came to greet new members to the squad he idolized so much. It was small events like this that allowed the Noble to show newer members the great aspects of the entire base. Plus with the slight new additions to the base, due to the weird shattering events, it was even more of an adventure now to show new people around. Nonetheless, he continued his way down the spiraling staircase until he made it to the ground floor of the base. His curiosity rose, though, when he started making his way to the main hallway. On this side of the base was a small hallway that led to a couple of offices that were located on the ground floor. Kreig had taken claim to the big room that was located at the end of the hall of offices. Since becoming a member here himself Naxel has never really been in any of the offices on the ground floor. The curiosity struck himself on why he had never even attempted to see what was even there. If he didn’t have to meet the new member of the squad right now he would of taken the chance to go explore the rooms. But he had more important things to do at this moment. [break][break]
When he finally made it to the main hallway he decided to pick up the speed a little while going down it. Naxel didn’t know if the new member had already arrived or not, and, if so, then it wouldn’t be too great showing up late. The Noble could always use the excuse of having to deal with too much paperwork. Which wouldn’t be a lie no matter who he told that too. Dealing with minor petty cases is a downfall of being in the bottom two rank classes of the Azure Deers. One day, when he becomes a senior Knight, the cases that he will deal with then will be so much better. All the time he would hear upper ranked members talk about all these cool high profile cases that they are on. One of them caught a higher known criminal not that long ago. It was a score for the squad in a major way, but it would of been really nice to been apart of that case. Now he is to introduce new members to the squad, and deal with minor cases. Which, speaking of new members, Naxel made it to the end of the main hall to enter the open area of the grand entrance. When he looked around the room there was a young person that Naxel had not met before. That person seemed to have noticed the Noble, and spoke out to him by introducing himself. Joseph Cobborn. What an interesting name that struck the ears of the Intermediate Ranked Knight. “Well Hello there. Nice to meet you Joseph.” Greeting the new member with a calm and gentle tone to his voice. “I am Naxel Blake, Intermediate 2nd Class Magic Knight. The higher ups have assigned me with welcoming you along with showing you around the base. I hope you are ready, because there is a lot of memorizing to do sadly.” Throwing his hand up behind his head to nervously scratch from informing the boy on that last part.[break][break]
“Lets get going.” He would say before turning around to face the hallway that he just made his entrance from. “This is the Grand Entrance to the Azure Deer Base. Everyone from the squad comes here to relax or even hang around to kill some time. To my right you will find the Squad Game room. There you can find some unhealthy competitive card and board games. Next to that room you will find the Missions office where you can go to find ways to help the Kingdom out.” Turning his head towards the new member before continuing. “Any questions so far?”

“It's nice to meet you Sir Blake.“ Josephs body loosened away whatever tense energy that had bundled up from worry. It was a relief, since it seemed that the peachy haired male didn't accidentally ignore anyone. That really would have been terrible, especially on his first day and meeting someone for the first time. A few soft giggles escaped their lips, “For a moment I was worried that I got too distracted and ignored you for a bit. Everything looks so amazing and sings so sweetly!” Just thinking of the different tunes was a reminder of the beautiful melodies trying to capture his senses. It was far too easy to get lost in arrangement of notes and the instruments included. No! Don't get distracted! But it was so hard not to... Focus, focus. He wont know what you're talking about anyway, only family would understand without it being properly explained. “Sorry, my magic is carbon matter with sound. This causes me to hear a sort of music from everything of some sort or another.” His smile widened a bit before trying to straighten up their loosened form. How Naxel scratched their head was a bit nice. Seeing someones nervousness was a bit of a reminder that the people here were still people, no matter how amazing the surroundings looked and sounded. He almost felt a bit glad to see the other male express such a thing, almost. They were going already? Not quite yet it seemed. It made sense that showing someone around would start in the first room, the one they were both in at this moment. “Aiming on retaining everything will be light as the days rays.” But this way of thinking was only natural for someone from a family of musicians. Read, practice, memorize in words and feel until the soul of the song is ebbed into your very marrow. Memorizing both in music wasn't an option, listeners can tell when the soul isn't there, or when a note is off. Someone would always notice. "The grand entrance lives up to it's name." When was the last time he had played a card or board game? It had been years, but that was sort of expected. Of course this was where they would leave the room now to enter the next area of this well sized location. Cobborn started walking over towards Blake, not wanting to be far behind when the other did start going to the next area. Did he have any questions? "Just one, if that's alright. Do we get to choose what we do at the mission office, or is it decided by someone else?" That seemed like a relevant question to ask. It was certainly better to now know rather than later.
The beginning of a tour of the base was always the slowest part of the entire thing. It always starts out in the Grand Entrance where people usually just hang around. Not much goes on, due to work, but it is a shame the room doesn’t get used for what it was made for. Naxel wouldn’t let this worry him right now, and listened to the question that the new member had asked. “He actually asked a question? Well he is a first since I’ve been put as the tour guide for new members.” Thinking to himself before even giving a response to the young man. “Well, It really depends on who you ask. Usually everyone here is always busy with their day to day work. Sometimes your work will make you stay up late, or even wake up before the sun even rises.” Beginning his answer off with a sort of side answer. “Squad work is usually what takes priority. But to answer your question it is either or. When you finish your squad work you can go to the office to pick or request a mission that is posted. You will also be requested at times from the missions officer, Vice-Captain, Captain, or, on special occasions, the Wizard King.” Finally getting to the answer the new member was, hopefully, looking for. “Since I’ve been here the Missions officer has been the main person who has approached me. The Captain has requested me a few times, but through the officer as well.” Finishing up with his answer that probably took more effort than was needed. Hopefully Jospeh didn’t get bored from his long response.[break][break]
When the first question was answered Naxel figured it was time to move on. They made their way down the main hall which led to the Dinning Hall, Ground offices, and staircases to the first Floor. “To our left you will find the Dining hall. The food is usually pretty good, and is available at any part of the day. At some times you will have more of snacks, and at other times you will find actual dining food.” He informed as he continued to walk without stopping. When they got to the end of the hall a right turn was the way they would go. “To the left you will find some of the spare offices for members who don’t wish to be with the rest of the groups up stairs.” Pointing down the short hall that had a few door that could be seen. Then, the two would make it to the east side set of stairs. “Lastly, on both the east and west sides of the base you will find sets of stairs. It is only on the south end of the building though. But, that is it for the first floor. Anymore questions?” Speaking on last time before they would take their tour to the First Floor.

It sounded like everyone there was typically very busy, which made sense. The suggestion of that much work should probably worry the young man, but it only excited him more. Joseph was starting to feel more like he would definitely be making a difference here, even if it wasn't anything big. Their eyes brightened a bit more before giving a response. “It's still grand, even when not much time is spent there.” Missions sounded exciting. It didn't matter that there wasn't always a choice, only that it happened. He wanted to go look for a mission right now, but today wasn't the day for that, right? Today was the day he was shown around. One step at a time, the goal wouldn't rush away just because the heart was eager and willing. Even with all that known, there was a lingering question on the mind that wouldn't allow itself to cease. What kind of job would come from someone as important as the Wizard King? The pink eyed person could only imagine how it would feel to get one from such an amazing person. What kind of work would such a person even give out to members of different squads? It was slightly disappointing to hear that Naxel hadn't received any from such a person, but he still wanted to ask...
“What kind of jobs do you think the wizard king would give?” It didn't seem like something likely to happen, but it was still amazing to know that it was possible at all. It did make sense that squad work took priority, even if he wasn't sure what sort of work that fully entailed. Only time would tell that tale, right? If Blake was expecting boredom from this easily distracted individual, than he would have to be disappointed. Their own footsteps and body movements still had a bit of a sway to it, as if responding a song that wasn't playing. The dining hall sounded like he was probably only going to get snacks out of there. Nobody wants to admit at being forgetful with meal times though, or with food in general. That wasn't here nor there anyway, as long as Joseph eventually ate. Even so, their eyes still scanned the area while the two were there. The mention of offices caused the peach haired person to look. Offices meant.. “How much paper work should I be expecting to do?” It was definitely not if, right? Not if there was an entire office area. Was there anymore questions outside the ones asked? Did he have more questions than the ones already asked?
“Not quite yet, but I'm sure more will arrive as the journey continues.” Of course calling this a journey was over dramatizing it, but didn't that sound more fun? It was technically still one anyway, even if it was shorter than most imagined when using that term. Cobborn quickly and quietly adjusted his glasses a bit. It wasn't any big reason, just pushing it up a little. How many people with glasses also had to make many tiny adjustments to them every day? At least they allowed for clear vision though. How many floors were there? He would find out day, probably. The man was sure that there were areas only the top ranked were allowed to go. Partially sure? Well, maybe it existed? Well it didn't matter one way or the other anyway. That was a good reminder of a different sort of room though, right? A very different type all together. Unlike the likely to not exist type, this one was one that existed and he needed the location of. The sooner he found that out, the quicker the young man could move all of their things from their aunts home. Now that the peach colored person was part of a squad, there was no longer a reason to burden the rest of the family.
Most people only had to care for their own children. His auntie had her own family, but still helped him through madness. Nobody would have blamed her if she let Joseph slip to an orphanage, but that never happened. It wasn't like his existence had put a financial strain, it was nothing of the sort. The issue had been the time and effort it takes to try to help with so many layers of trauma. The majority of that was gone thanks to her, something that couldn't just be repaid with currency. Her own children still needed their mother, she still worked as part of a traveling orchestra along with her husband. There had still been a patience and care put into him whenever they were home. The pale person was certain that his cousins could have done with that attention instead. It wasn't like they didn't get any, but his issues took precious time and didn't always happen at good moments. As soon as he knew his room, the young man could move all his belongings there. After that then he could do his dream job. The choice to be a magic knight over something music related wasn't understood by them, but maybe they would get it with time. He wasn't really understood by family for a few reasons.
violence wasn't something popular in the family, nor was politics. He was essentially participating in both in some sense or another now and on purpose. It was something this certain individual wanted to do. Of course none of that mess was voiced out, family affairs were always a private matter. But that didn't change the one detail that did need to be voiced. It should be spoken before another turn was taken, or a flight of stairs was entered. "I forgot to ask about something actually. If it's alright, could you show me me room at some point? I know giving a tour and answering all these questions must be a lot as it is."
Naxel had listened to all the questions the young man had said on they way to the point they were at. They were very interesting questions to ask, but knew they would eventually be asked at some point. A chuckle would be let out before the young noble gave out his responses. “The Wizard King usually only gives Missions out to those who have shown great promise within the Kingdom. Now that is for missions that he would see you perfectly fitted for. On the other hand, you will have missions that he throws out for anyone to take on. Those typically come whenever we have an over infestation of some sorts.” Finishing off the first question with a thought to himself. For as long as he had been a Magic Knight he hasn’t really seen many callings for the Knights from the King. There was that one time when Naxel and that one member had ventured off to the Witch Forest. All he remembered from that was the amount of daemon-like creatures that basically took over that forest. Anything else from that mission had became a mystery to him. Thankfully it really wasn’t A pressing matter for him to really take charge of. Right now he had to finish up answering his new members questions so he could settle in. So, Naxel shook off that thought to give his attention back to Jospeh. “I wouldn’t worry too much on the paperwork my friend. At your rank you will mainly do reports whenever you go out on mission. The other times you will be learning whichever group you shall pick. Those groups would be the Investigators and Recon Division. One has more paperwork than the other while the one with the lesser work has to write more than the group with the most work. For now, I shall leave it a mystery for you, so you can allow fate to decide your future. He he.” Answering, yet, another question for the new member of the Azure Deer with a small laugh at the end.[break][break]
Right when Naxel was just about to proceed with the tour, Joseph had one last minute question. The Noble turned his attention over at the new member with much curiosity of what it could be. When the question came out Naxel would let out a little bigger laugh than his chuckle. This young man hasn’t been in the squad for an hour yet, and has already got the way things are already. “Hahaha. I like you newbie. But of course. We must actually head to the top floor before we can move over to the dorms.” Giving the young man his answer while having a genuine smile upon his face. Then, with the first floor questions out of the way, Naxel started making his way up the stairs. He would stop at the First Floor first. This floor would be the main place he would be on an occasional work day whenever he wasn’t on a mission. Naxel took a quick step off on the floor to give a brief worded overview of this floor. “Alright. Now we are on the First Floor. This is more commonly known as the Junior and Intermediate Rank floor. The west side of the floor are the Junior offices while the east is intermediate. Whenever you start your work, you will come here to begin the work your group does.” Stopping to take a moment for a quick breath of air. “Towards the back you will have the meeting rooms, Communication rooms, and the group offices for this floor. Everyone on this floor will mainly deal with minor cases and petty crimes. Also, don’t worry about wondering which office you will share. Each room has the names of each member who takes claim in that office. So won’t be hard to find it.” Giving a smile in hopes that Jospeh had obtained any of that information. Naxel wouldn’t really give the man any time to ask any question, because he wanted to quickly get the man to his room. Instead, Naxel just made his way up the stairs to enter the Second Floor of the base.[break][break]
Once Naxel made his way onto the Second Floor, He would turn back towards his comrade to begin to speak again. “Welcome to the Senior floor of the base. Here you will find all Senior and Grand ranked members. But, most importantly, this is where the Azure Four are Located.” Stopping to see if Joseph caught interest in knowing who the Azure Four were before continuing on. “The Azure Four are the Four strongest members within the Azure Deer Squad. Captain Carmelita, Vice-Captain, and two other powerful members are what make up the four. Not many people outside our town know who they are, except Captain Carmelita, but one day we will make them become known.” Those words would from his mouth with as much pride as the Noble could muster. Being apart of a squad, such as the Azure Deer, was something that any member should be proud of. Naxel does his best to give the squad the best name possible. There are even times where he could smack someone upside the head if they were to ever step out of line. The Noble remembered doing this to a member in the past, but the name of that knight wouldn’t come to mind for anything in the world. But that isn’t important for the time being.[break][break]
Naxel would then begin making his way up the latter after he gave the details of the Seniors Floor. While he was making his way up a thought would come to mind. “We are headed to the Last floor, and then the dorms. When we get to your room I will answer anymore questions you have. I forgot to mention that.” Giving off an embarrassing chuckle following that statement. He would then turn back to where he was heading to see that they had made it to the final floor. Unlike the other floors this one just had a few larger rooms compared to the other floors. So, Naxel made his way down the short hall before turning onto the main stretch hall. Once he approached the doors, to the training hall and sauna, he would turn around to face Jospeh again. “Alright, This is the final floor to the base. We have a large room just for those who wish to train, exercise, or whatever they see fit. Just please don’t destroy the room. While on the other side you have a sauna to where you can relax in a nice steam bath after your time in the training room. Remember, Men on one side and women on the other. Captain Carmelita will chop off your parts, so just keep that in mind. Hehe.” Finishing of what he needed to say before heading towards the bridge that connected the main building and dorms. When he got there he would stop before getting into the other building. “Alright, so that is the entire base of the Azure Deer. Your new home basically. Also, since you are a Junior Ranked Knight then you will be located on the ground floor or first floor. I haven’t fully learned the rooms for ranks just yet. Because I stay too busy to really head in the dorms building, ha ha. But do you have any questions before you head to get acquainted?” Finishing off the tour with one last question before heading back to work.[break][break]

Josephs face flushed a bit from embarrassment upon hearing the brunette chuckle a bit. How many before him had asked about missions from the wizard king? But how could one not ask? It was an individual that had earned their rank as the best of the best. Hearing his explanation on who got such missions, it made sense. Those gain missions from him, it didn't sound like it was always a good thing. It would still be such an honor though. How does one handle that? Still “Now I'm sort of hoping to not get a job from him. It would be nice to feel like I have promise, but something as big as an infestation definitely sounds like it would be very hard to keep everyone safe. Maybe when I improve...” This did mean that the young man didn't think it was impossible for everyone. It was a realistic outlook, knowing something big enough for a term like that would take a lot of work, skill, and power. There was more to life than just the ability to really want to help and he was as fresh to being a member of the magic knights as it could get. Still, the idea of being able to help in something large scale sounded amazing. Being in this sort of job would be a mixed bag, wouldn't it?
You wouldn't want bad things to happen, right? Since being a magic knight means to protect the kingdom as well as those inside it. At the same time? The idea of being able to hold your own in such a mass scale event sounded alluring. The mention of paperwork again gave a slight smile to him. Don't worry yet? It wasn't like he was going to raise through the ranks at super sonic speed, so this was some nice reassurance, kind of. Cobborn let out a slight sigh, “You certainly have a sense of humor, but at least paper work doesn't sound like a terrifying beast anymore.” Mostly. The 'leave to your imagination' part and slight laughter after wasn't something that made it sound like it would be possible to avoid all paperwork piles. A mystery was still a lot better than a guarantee. As for being liked already? The peach haired man wasn't sure what words to use, face flushing a bit. He couldn't remember the last time it felt like he belonged somewhere and this made him feel like there was already a friend had. Thanking someone for that would be weird though, right? But he could at least reply to what was said immediately after. All was not totally awkward feeling deep inside. “That makes sense, of course.”
It would be really nice working here, wouldn't it? And Naxel had such a nice smile. Maybe it was alright to respond to the later commentary. “It's been amazing meeting you. Everything just sounds, looks, and feels like a dream. Thank you for making me feel so welcome.” But his mind was now rushing towards the new things on this top floor they have now moved to. There had been a lot of areas to memorize the location of on multiple floors so far, but that was perfect. Now he knew where his office would likely be, when need of such things happened. At least it sounded like his would be easy enough to find. For some reason paper work sounded more appealing now? But he can't let himself be too okay with that! Doing missions was still a lot better than paperwork, no matter how many hours of the young mans life had already been used on research and paperwork as it is. But of course they were already rushing towards the next location before anything could be said. This would still all be remembered though! So the pale person gave a wave towards the offices... as if that mattered? But it just felt nice, like he would see them again.
Pink eyes started to sparkle with interest as soon as speak of the azure four started. This was definitely of interest to him! The four best our of the entire squad, how could they not be amazed? Of course getting looked at didn't wane the excitement, only causing Josephs sparkly peachy pink irises to focus on the brunettes face, as if to try to seek more information. That only told him who the first two were though! “Do you know who all of them are? Not just the first two?” There was no way the orange haired individual was going to not ask! The best members, the pride... People he wanted to learn from in some way or another. Not directly of course, that would be selfish, but still! They must be individuals to admire. Cobborn nodded when told they were heading to the last floor, making sure to keep up with the well phased movement of the more experienced mage. It didn't matter to them how fast the other male went, so long as there was enough time to hear about every area and see them. So far the young man had been given that chance, so nothing was lost. Going up the final flight of stairs to the third and final floor of the build was a bit exciting at this point.
Each floor had been very interesting so far. There was no way they were expecting the last one to be the one dull floor out of the lot. He wasn't disappointed in the least. A training room! Though at this point he had lost his ability to speak in excitement. It was just one thing after another causing so much positivity to bubble. Would they look back? Would they understand sign language? Would they see it if he tried? So that was what he did. There was no reason to cool his excitement down, unless the other couldn't understand. If not, then there would definitely be need to calm down so words could return through the mouth. Until then? He reconfirmed the other was still looking at him before signing out the words he wanted to speak with their mouth. 'I wont destroy it. Am I really allowed to use it when I'm free? That's so amazing. Don't worry, I wont go to the women's side. I was raised better than to try peeping.' Even if he sometimes thought about it. Well, at least not much? Life was so busy, enough that it was easy to push down and suppress their hormones. Of course he didn't sign out the fact that he thought about looking, but their face turned a bit red all over again...
just this time from some slight feelings of guilt. It probably didn't help that he looked down briefly around the time after signing about not peeking. Of course he started walking again when the other started to as well. Not looking back meant they wouldn't see if he signed, right? But the shame from the fact that he did think about peeking at naked women did at least calm them down enough to get his voice back. It wasn't like he felt terrible about it, only a bit bad. A proper man would never do that! But the mind isn't always as proper as it should be. “Sorry, when I get too excited or nervous I can't make any sound. I hope switching to sign language sometimes wont be an issue.. Ahh, one last question, only one. If I ever feel lost in trying to become a better magic knight, is it alright to ask for help from other members?” He was still full of a buzzing sort of joy that had been inside Joseph for the majority of the tour. It was the excitement of achieving one life dream, starting another, feeling so much like where he was supposed to be and that he would do good. This really was an amazing day for him.
During the rushed part of the tour Naxel listened to everything the new member had to say. It was interesting to hear the different things he had to say. Honestly, Naxel actually liked this new member already. It wasn’t until they got to the final floor where Jospeh seemed to get very excited about the mention of the training room. He would go on to do some gestures with his hand that Naxel didn’t really understand what was going on. When they were at the spot they were now Joseph had explained what was going on. The new Deerling was apparently talking with his hands, because he was to excited to speak. Naxel hadn’t really ever heard of sign language before, but figured it wouldn’t be a bad skill to pick up. Since this interesting fellow will possibly get overly excited again one day. But Naxel would then hear a question that the young man had. A smile would appear on his face as he was happy the boy wasn’t afraid of asking for help. “Of course anyone will be willing to help you along your journey as a Magic Knight. Just try to watch how everyone is, and learn when the right time to ask someone would be. Like I stated before that everyone here is always busy. But there will always been time where anyone will be willing to help. If you can can’t find no one then you can come find me in my office. I will be happy to help.” Responding to the young man with his smile still on his face. He would then turn his way back towards the training area so he could get back to work. “I have to head back to work. If you need anything feel free to find me.” Saying as he began to walk off after his depature. But, right before he was out of sight, he turned his head back towards the deerling with the smile still on his face. “I do know the Azure Four btw. You will know who they are soon enough, he he.” Teasing the young man right before he actually left for his office.[break][break]
