[I hope you don't mind if I join you~]

Biting his lower lip nervously, the blonde Fallen Angel slowly made his way towards the lake. He liked it there, so peaceful and quiet. Reita was really troubled now, he needed to think. Since the Dark Angel King's death he couldn't find his lace for one reason or the other... he felt like he belonged to nowhere again, just like right after he'd been exiled from Eden.

He was sure some of the Dark Angels, including some priests and knights had known about Hizumi and him, they knew how the king wanted to make him his queen... and maybe some of them would blame him for the king's death. Sighing to himself he looked up at the sky as suddenly he came to a stop. He then looked around for the best lace to sit when a figure in the lake caught his attention.

The figure was absolutely beautiful as he was dancing in the lake with water curling and moving around him. Reita couldn't take his eyes off of the other male. He knew the other was controlling the water around him and that strenght amazed him. He couldn't help but stare with his lips slightly parted for long seconds, before he realized he was most probably disturbing something here. So he turned around to leave, but of course he had to be a clumsy idiot again as he was in such a hurry to leave the other alone - he tripped over something and hit the ground with a loud thud.

[I don't mind at all~]

It was easy to loose himself in the gentle flow of water, in the way the liquid did as he bid and weaved around his body, between his fingers and danced and slithered as he directed it with the slightest flick of his wrist.

It wasn't only a weapon though, Aoi was coming to find out. It was a healer as well; water gave life just as it took it. He was finding out that there was a lot more water could do then simply become a whip or ice swords. He was going to experiment with it too.

Just as he was willing the water to shift from a slender ribbon onto a ball between his hands, there was a crash and a loud one at that. Concentration broken and panic flooding his system at the fleeting thought that a human might have seen him.

That panic didn't leave as he laid eyes upon the figure in the side. Still jittery, he stayed where he was; he didn't feel comfortable enough getting close to whoever it was yet.

"Are you okay?" He called softly, watching the figure with weary, dark blue eyes.

Reita hissed in pain as he hit the ground, a small rock wounding his arm and making him bleed. He was taken aback by hearing the other's voice. He slowly stood up and hesitantly turned around, scratching the back of his head nervously. "I... I'm okay." he said. For a moment or two he was observing the other man's face before he bowed low in an apologetic manner. "I'm sorry for disturbing you. I didn't know someone else was here and---" his voice trailed off. He was afraid he'd make the other angry.

He looked up at the other again, his dark orbs betraying his uneasiness. This man was fairly strong, Reita could tell. Moreover, he could control water just like that Demon Die and this fact was frightening for the blonde. "I'm sorry," he bowed again, "I shall leave you alone." With a last apologetic smile he turned to leave.

Reita turned back to the other male, blinking. "Are you sure? I don't want to be a bother." he said, tilting his head to the side in an almost childish manner. He scratched his noseband covered nose, watching the other. His dark orbs were studying the man's expression for any trace of annoyance, anger or anything alike, but he could find none.

Hesitantly the blonde took a step towards the stranger with a friendly smile on his face. He bowed politely. "I'm Reita. It's nice to meet you." he said. Looking to the side and biting his lip in embarrassment, the Dark Angel sat down on the ground. "I... May I watch you?" he asked. "You are really... strong." First, he almost said 'beautiful when you're training' or something of that sort, but he could stop himself in time, thanks God.

Reita sheepishly smiled at the other male. He was happy this person didn't want to send him away or yell at him for being an intruder. "Aoi? That's a nice name." he said. "And thank you for letting me stay." The Dark Angel enjoyed watching people practice, especially the ones with special abilities like this man. He himself knew nothing, his only ability was to red others' hearts - nothing fancy or scenic. It was rare for him to see strong creatures training unless they used Reita as a punchbag.

"Do you often come here?" he asked Aoi in a shy manner, though it was evident he was being curious about this man. "And... is it hard? Controlling water, I mean..."
