Lex would approach the Cafe that she had been invited to today. She had nothing to do yet as a member of the Blue Rose Knights. She hadn't given much thought to it until she saw who invited her. Ayama Ravencrest...a girl she was much older then but had good memories of when she saw her last. Though that was years ago. This however was long overdue and now that she was a magic knight...she felt it was only right to meet her fell magic knights...and rekindle her past relationships. As she talked a lock of her long black hair behind her ear she looked at the cafe one more time period. Has been awhile since she's been out being social andon't end. She had to compose herself to a degree though it wasn't long. Having a bit of a blank expression on her face she would slowly walk in and look for Amaya, Waving off anyone who would come and ask if she needed a table or was meeting assistance. She knew she was here for and she didn't need anyone else bothering her a badger and her about it. Though people were eyeing her for how much her dress showed, she didn't pay them any mind thnobles.
She would approach the table, while she looked older there was no mistaken who this was. Ayama sat before her as she looked down giving a genuine smile. She had grown up quite a bit and she looked like she had matured significantly, though looks could be misleading, she had faith that her house raised her well, raised her to a nobles standard. She gave a small chuckle before she spoke.
Ayama darling, it has been far to long since we have seen each other. Congratulations on becoming a Coral Peacock, an excellent choice, How have you been doing darling."
She says in a very genuine caring tone as she pulled out her chair sitting across from the white haired woman giving a warm smile to her fellow noble. It has been a while since the woman had even seen the Ravencrest as she has been engaged in her own studies. A mistake she hoped to rectify in the coming days as she waited for her to speak again. Someone walked over offering a cup of tea, accepting it she took the cup taking a sip out of it. It was delicious.
Last Edit: Mar 25, 2023 19:19:10 GMT -5 by Lux Krane
Amaya looked up to the woman with a smile on her face as she placed down the teacup "It has indeed been way too long" she said with a smile " Sorry I lost contact with you ages ago. I been pretty occupied with my ventures." She said moving her hands back into her lap. "I wish I could say its been all sunshine butterflies and rainbows. I finally found my spells after all this time and the coral peacocks have been the greatest access to helping me find my magic. I have grown so much in the squad. I am a senior now. It is most amazing. Though I am sure you have heard of my romance life."She said gently. [break] [break] She had a bad break up with Taiyo vermillion. She use to just focus on him but now she focused on other things. While it hurt seeing what happened and seeing him as she did just a week ago. She wanted to see his bright smile but instead she saw someone she didn't know anymore. "It was heart breaking and something i never thought would happen but there is a light, I found another as well and grown so much from the little socialite I once was."She said with a smile thinking of the giant of a green mantis she has became more with involved with.

Lex sat there for a moment sipping her tea. She had indeed hear the gossip of her break up through the mill of noble and works and the like. While she didn't pay it to much mind, as it was really none of her business and her studies at the time was her primary concern. She still knew enough to know that Ayama was hurting from the experience. Though she did seem much more mature so that was a positive note. She set the tea cup down on the same plate giving a smile to the woman sitting across from her.
I had indeed hear of the messier aspect of your relationship, as that seems to be the part most care about. I am sorry you are going through that darling. But as you stated yourself you have grown so much and you have achieved new spells and being a senior in the Coral Peacocks is nothing short of envious to those around you.
She paused in though, she never considered herself to particularly conforming but she was the type to say what's on her mind and not swell on the smaller aspects of how it may affect the person she was talking to. She though for a moment before speaking up once more.
You came out the other end stronger and found someone who you can help you mend, I have the up most faith that you learned from the experience, after all the girl I remember may not have invited me to tea."
She said with a small mischievous chuckle to herself as she picked up the tea cup taking a sip, prodding her friend a little bit. Though some may have rang true it was certainly nice to see her getting out and being more social. However she smiled. She wanted to shift the topic and boost her friend a little.
"I recently joined the Blue Rose Knights myself darling. I do hope I can achieve what you did myself one day. I do hope we get to work together darling."
She said with a genuine and sincere tone. Looking her over she looked over making a hand wave to pour more tea into her cup as she waited for Ayama to talk now letting her guide the conversation from here.
"yeah it was painful and something i didn't think would ever happen. But I have grown so much, from learning from Hinota and learn from sol, a green mantis member. I have learned to not need a safety net and I have just dived head first in all my assignments because it was easier then facing the rumors. Though I will say I do have a new low to fill the void in my life and he is someone i choose myself without my cousin's assistance "she said with a smile allowing Jianyu to pour them some more tea.
[break][break] "While I am not one to boast of things of myself, I will say I don't think i could have ever seen myself be this way "she said with a small smile accepting her tea cup back. "I guess being part of a militaristic family instead of a socialite one has its perks i suppose. "She added taking a sip of her tea. She smiled listening to Lex speak of herself "Honestly I can't wait to see where your story takes you. At first joining the knights was a simple, i need to dive in and stop worrying with my issues. But I don't think I would have fully taken off without help of Sol when it comes to combat with my rapier. I was already good with it but something about him just made a lot more sense. A lot about him makes a lot more sense in my mind. Maybe I am over thinking it again. "she spoke allowing her train of thought to turn to Sol before she shaked her head getting her thoughts back on track. [break][break] "Do you have a position you are wishing to achieve in the squad? I am right now so close to possibly being strong enough to get the vacant Vice captain spot but I wouldn't mind getting the captaincy when the time is right. However it is hard since Akarui is a light user, she is so much faster then I am at my current stage. Not to mention, she has attack creation spells while i just gained mine with a secondary element" She added in thought out loud cupping her chin with her index finger in thought "I don't want to gain spells that can combat just her either as that defeats the purpose of becoming a captain. Oh and here soon I will be a lot more alone then i have been recently as Sol has a large threat he and my mentor Hinota has to assist to defeating. I hope to maybe get more time with him before he goes, but he has been so busy with training and I don't want to take away that precise time for him and Hinota from their tasks. Not to mention that I have just recently became the Heiress of my Family so I have even more studies I have to add to my already growing list of things on top of people I have to meet with and the requested training that has either been asked of me or I have requested myself. Do you think I am over doing myself Lex? Am i worrying about things" She inquired for lex's opinion

Lex nodded as her tea was poured as she listened to her friend talk. She was fine with listening to her talk about her life. It was more refreshing hearing it from the source then hearing about her through the rumor mill. She took a small bit of a cookie on a center plate as she moved on to talking about her magic knight goals. She gave a small chuckle musing to herself as she listen, wasn't a mocking chuckle, kore of an interesting one as she spoke on the topic.
Darling, I am aiming for the top to eventually become captain. As a noble woman and heiress of the Krane Household, it is expected of me to forge the path for those lesser then myself, set the standard if you will.
She said. As she lifted her tea taking in the aroma. She took a small breath as she though about what she said about becoming the vice captain and the light user. She took a small sip before speaking.
As far as becoming a Vice Captain is concerned, let me tell you there is much more to strength the simple Offensive magic darling. There are so many mages, myself included that can preform such fears. Support mages are just as important, I'd not more on my opinion, shine brighter then there light spells and I know you'll achieve far more then becoming just a mere Vice Captain Darling.
She took a sip of tea thinking for a moment, she herself was an heiress in her family and it was indeed a lot of work. She thought for a long moment letting the question hang in the air for a moment, her experience with the subject would be vastly different then her friends. However for now that's all she could speak with. She sent her cup down now a bit more of a somber serious look on her face. Taking a breath she finally spoke.
I can answer you on that. Not to sound to cliche darling but only you can judge this based on your own experiences. What I can offer is advice from my own experiences. You can't please everyone, and it will be hard, especially for you as you have some growing to do yet. However if I was to take a look I would say yes, but to keep walking forward. It will only get harder, if you can adjust to the weight of this challenge, then the weight of the next will be nothing. When you get tot the top darling, which I know you will, you will know how to carry it then. I do hope that answered your question.
She said as she lifting her hot cup of tea taking a sip from it. She would surely be facing very similar challenges in the coming days now that she was a magic knight, and had no doubt she would be asking herself and possible her friend for this very same advice. Though as she was just a junior magic knight. That was a problem for another day. Today this was the challenge before her. She set her tea cup on the saucer looking at her a smile returning to her face, inviting more conversation should she desire another topic.
"I don't think my life has been set to be anything other then what I want to be. Sure I have heard tells of the socialite and political power my parents had groomed me to being but Hania has actually helped me forge my own path, while not being out of control and give bad view upon my family." She stated in thought looking towards the window before lifting her tea cup taking another sip before bringing it back down, watching Lex as she nodded "I hope you also make it to captaincy Lex. That way I got someone I can chat with during the magic knights exams." She said jokingly. [break][break] Amaya had hoped to reach Captaincy or be worthy of Vice Captaincy. She had once in her life never wanted to do anything of her own will. She always just followed on the strings she was moved by. Now since coming back from Hinota's. She seemed like a whole different girl. Someone who was still very spoiled by her cousin, She was with a new understanding and a thirst for wanting to earn what she had. She might have at one point been willing to accept all anyone wanted to give her but since breaking up with Taiyo. She learned who the harden and protect her own heart. She was no longer sitting and waiting on a prince charming. She found him in the one person she choose of her own will. She didn't need a safe net. She was willing to fall out of her window and break because her prince charming was going to be there to help her grow as he has been doing. She was hopeful to the future even with the darkness of the witch queen growing closer and the acknowledgement that Her other half was getting ready even with his fears of the future. [break][break] "I have faith in my ability to handle Akarui. She is a noble such as yourself and she is a very sweet girl even if I didn't know her fully" She spoke "However she has strong light magic and is very much faster then I am currently. I can't out heal her damage yet. I am still very weak but I have a great teacher and a bodyguard that has helped me grow. I will not allow my former self to stagger my growth." she stated to herself. before looking at Lex "So tell me Lex, what have you been doing other then being a magic knight? I am sure you got some stories to still tell me."She said happily deciding to talk about Lex for a bit.

Lex sat there as she finished, a satisfied smile plastered on her face. Ayama would be fine. She had grown into a fine young woman. While her spells where not quite suited for combat that hardly matter. To be honest she felt to many were focused on destruction and lacked there books true potential. However for the moment that hardly mattered. She would become something great and was eager to see how she got there. Glad that she was now intertwined in her story, even if it a minor part for now.
She lifted her glass as the topic switched to her. She paused setting her tea cup down thinking for a moment, what had she truly been doing with herself. For the past ten years she had been training her magic sure. But she was much more interested in her musings into grimoires, she found the books fascinating, though many other nobles thought her research was a waste of time, though she hardly cared what anyone thought of her. Truly she became a magic knight due to her family needing money. She didn't object, she was happy to defend and serve her country…though she'd be lying if she said that was her reason. The sighed smiling, she was never going to lie to her friend. She just didn't know what to say.
Well darling, for the past couple of years I have dedicated my life to studying grimoires and why they act the way they do. Curious why they choose who they choose, Why they impart the magic they do one the user, how they decide what spells to impart, things of that nature. While I didn't plan on becoming a magic knight right now, I may as well use it to my benefit for field research, and to start doing my part.
She paused For a brief moment. In some ways she thought herself sounding very selfish right now. It's not that she didn't want to do her part but she was. For lack of better terms thrusted into this position. Still she could make any negative into a positive it was one of her many talents She felt she had in life. She gave her friend another smile before taking a sip from her tea cup. She sat it back down and looked at her. A much more confidence smile returning to her face.
It is really quite boring, but I am content with hiw my life is going, honestly I feel you have achieved much more then me and I am quite older then you. I feel envious darling.
"Studying grimoires? I am sure that is exciting for sure? I often wondered what it is that these grimoires are and why we all most use them. I have also very much wonder do our grimoires recycle themselves from the libraries that we reward our new youth with their amazing magics to hopefully shape this world for the better." She stated optimistically. She reached into the folds of her dress bringing out her baby pink grimoire holding a white four leaf clover with multicolored wings coming out from around the clover "For 3 years, I didn't have any spells, no matter what method I took. It took seeing my ex getting a cut after rashly defeating a minotaur, revealing something I never seen of him before that finally I had gotten some spells. My cover has changed from a blank white to the holy pink that i hated so much. "she said sitting the book down "Still I feel I am nearing something more then the two elements I have...like something else is nearly here "she spoke feeling the cover with her manicured pink covered nails. "I do worry of the threat that is growing closer and closer." She added.
[break][break] "Soon I will be without Sol for a few months while he has to fight this evil alone once again." She said "I am still much too weak to benefit him on the battle field and it worries me that I might lose him." She added gently. "I know Hinota and Valo and Even the Golden Dawn's Captain Zaven will be there to help him and hopefully keep him safe. But I am weary because even with all my own growth I will not be able to assist him other then praying to whatever gods bother to listen and grant him safety back to me." she said with a sigh "All I can do is hold the front line within this kingdom." she said letting out a sigh as she stretched some while Jianyu poured some more tea.

Lex What's it across from her listening as she replied to her. She was glad at least somebody was half interested in her research. Not many people did seem to be interested in that sort of subject these days just accepting fact for what it was. It did peak her interest though to hear her mention how she was on the verge of a new element. A situation she would have to make sure she was around for when it happened and keep a close eye on if she wasn't but nonetheless she wouldn't. Let her excitement get the better of what today's true purpose was.
" I have indeed noticed that you're more likely to unlock a spell during desperate times. Make me wonder if the book's know are intentions are not as silly as that sounds. However I can go on for hours on the subject doesn't need to go into my findings and musings today."
She paused as she heard her say her next part about the battlefield and not being into a system being too weak. She couldn't help to give a small chocolate she sipped the vest of her tea. She was saying this to a junior magic night when she was much stronger than she was at this current moment. However as amusing as it was, She needed to support her friend though she didn't stole cock her head.
Well while he's gone I would recommend. You do more than just hold the front line to the kingdom, Grow stronger and home to power. You have even if you dislike it so you can be strong enough to support him in the future. Darling I know it's probably tough for you to have to sit back while hes out there. But hes out there because hes strong enough to be out. The will be fine and you will get strong enough to be with him next time if you should desire to."
Lex Said with a bit of a genuine smile hoping that she understood her meaning she wasn't trying to call her week by any structure of the imagination. Far from it. She wanted her to make sure she used her time wisely not just holding in front line but being better. Either way she cracked a small smile.
" besides darling, You are still leagues ahead of me… I don't think about everybody on the level of support even the front line"
She said in a teasing laugh as she looking at her friend reaching over putting a hand on hers in a comforting way before pulling back looking Into her eyes giving a small nod.
"But I don't wanna sit back and wait for him Lex. It is nerve racking cause i know i should but i can't help it."She said keeping calm as she sighed shaking her head "I know i have grown but just sitting and waiting for him when i could be out there isn't helpful. "She said feeling her hair with her left hand while feeling Lex's own hand touch hers in comfort.
[break][break]
"Your right, you are night."She said calming herself out from the very slight outburst. she wasn't one to want to sit back if she could help out but that was more true for her when it came to those she love and care for. She finished her last cup of tea as she slowly stood up " thankyou for hanging out with me Lex. It really helped getting to talk to someone about how i feel when all i want to do is help him when i am not strong enough. "She spoke as Jianyu nodded paying for the drinks and food
[break][break] "I do need to get going, I have a lot of things still scheduled and to do before he leaves. When you find out more of the grimoires do let me know, I want to learn it all i can "she said with a smile waving at her friend before she turned on her heels moving to Jianyu and the exit.
