Speed Dating
Who: Anyone who signed up for the Speed Dating
When: Friday evening
Where: The Raconteur
Rating: You be the judge lol

Bushara had reserved the entire Raconteur for the event, and with the help of Ben and a few others she managed to set up a number of tables for the event. She had asked one of the more organized students from Sphinx to help her situate the tables in a way that would allow all of the participants to meet with the desired gender without causing any confusion.

She had been kind enough to purchase a drink voucher for everyone, but after the first drink they would need to purchase their own. The tables were set up with enough distance to provide a feeling of intimacy for each table. There were note cards in the shape of hearts on each table for people to exchange numbers or love notes.

One of the employees had gracefully volunteered to be the one in charge of keeping time and ringing the bell when time was up just in case Bushara wanted to participate for fun. The lighting was dim, and the music was smooth to help create the atmosphere that was needed. She hoped everyone would have a great time, and possibly even find some couples going home together.

Later in the evening

As Kana listened to his story, she began to look on him with sympathy. She reached her hand out to take his, the warmth surrounding them both ridding any of the cold temperature that may still remain from the door's opening and closing. She felt so bad for him as he told her the story. She hadn't meant to bring up sad memories while they were supposed to be having an enjoyable time. She was probably the worst date anyone could have ever had. It was no wonder she kept being rejected by others.

"I'm sorry," she told him, "I didn't mean to upset you." She held Sorin's hand gently as she spoke. He had been so happy when he first sat down. She wished she could do something more to help him return to a good mood, but she just wasn't good at stuff like that.

"You are very warm," Sorin said with surprise when Kana touched his hand. He was glad for the distraction and change of subject, especially when he saw the sympathy in her face. Sorin didn't like to get sympathy from others. There was no sympathy in the world that would make his past ten years magically un-happen. It would only bring others down, thinking about it, thinking they had to walk on eggshells around him. He shook his head, not wanting that.

"How do you stay so warm? You are a Kitsune, yes?" He'd heard the students talk after Kana came back from the dead over the summer. "What does a Kitsune do besides create fire?"

The sudden change of topic confused Kana for a moment, but she took the hint. He didn't want to talk about that anymore. She still felt bad for him, and wished she could help even though she probably couldn't. She just genuinely wished she could help him some how.

"I don't really know," she replied, "I just always have. I can control it better now though." She thought about his question for a moment before answering. A lot of her abilities were so new to her that she still had trouble recalling what all she could do. "I can do a little magic," she said, "Not a lot since it's still kind of new to me."

	"Magic?" Sorin's face lit up with interest. "I'm a conjurer!" although that was mostly known around the school, that he could summon creatures from the beyond and wherever else they resided on the other side of their pages. He also ran the store for Barclay these days. His magic was not a secret. "What sort of things? What kind of magic?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"What sort of things can you conjour?" she asked curiously. She had yet to explore the full extent of her magic, so it wasn't something too easy to talk about. She knew a few glamour spells thus far as well as how to enchant an object with a bit of her power, but thus far she was still very new.

"I can't do much right now," she explained, "I have learned how to do this though." She concentrated and wiped her hands across her cheeks. As her hands slid over the marks that identified her as a kitsune they vanished leaving her cheeks looking as though they were normal human cheeks.

Sorin blinked, and then wished he hadn't. Kana's cheek marks vanished that quickly and his smile spread over his face. "A glamour!" He chuckled. "That is very good! And very useful. I wish I was good a glamours. I am very bad."

To answer her earlier question, he had been sketching on the scrap of paper, quickly making lines and shading into what turned out to be a butterfly. Giving it the final strokes of antennas with his pen, Sorin sat up straighter in his seat and looked up at Kana, meeting her eyes. "I can summon anything."

It wasn't just boasting, because the summoner put his hand down on the inked butterfly and began whispering under his breath. A blue light started forming from his hand. In a moment, before too many people noticed, it faded and Sorin smiled, biting his lip.

When he lifted his hand, the piece of paper was blank and the butterfly was alive and perched delicately on his fingers, wings slowly opening and closing.

She blushed a bit at his compliment which caused the glamour to fade due to still not being good at it. "I'm not that good yet," she replied though she was grinning a little as she looked down at the table.

She looked back up to meet his gorgeous eyes when Sorin spoke again. Her eyes were only drawn away by the blue glow underneath the boy's hand. The butterfly was beautiful, and definitely caused her to find Sorin to be the most interesting person she had met at the event. She smiled as she leaned forward. Her hand moved slowly towards the newly summoned creature, but she stopped short afraid she would scare it away.

"Amazing," she whispered. She found herself smiling and giving a soft chuckle. "That's incredible."

"Thank you." Sorin was always a little self conscious when people complimented him on his summoning, when it came so naturally to him that he felt he didn't deserve the praise. But the Romanian was also like most other young boys. He liked showing off. Attention from Kana was making his cheeks darken a little, but he pushed past it.

"You can hold him," Sorin nodded encouragingly, reaching out with his free hand to take Kana's and bring it closer. Lining his finger with hers, Sorin spoke softly to the insect, nudging it to crawl onto Kana's finger instead. He smiled when the butterfly obeyed and looked up at Kana's face.

"He likes you, I think. You have a very nice presence."
