He showed her the cover.

<"The Legend of Huma. A fantasy novel about a knight and his minotaur ally against an evil dragon goddess.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:05 pm

<"...Evil dragon goddess? Looking for pointers?">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:09 pm

<"Nah. Someone gave me one of these Dragonlance books as a gag gift and I got hooked.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:12 pm

Ayami couldn't help but laugh at that. <"I see. A strange choice, I suppose, but strangely appropriate.">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:14 pm

<"You should see my Astral Avatar,"> he smirked.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:18 pm

<"Let me guess...Mothra?">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:19 pm

<"No..."> he laughed, <"White dragon.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:23 pm

<"Oooh, very neat. Asian or European?">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:30 pm

<"A little of both actually.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:32 pm

Ayami grinned. <"Just like you, then. You're an interesting man, John.">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:43 pm

<"And you are an intriguing woman, Ayami,"> he smiled.

<"Do you want to sit down?"> He motioned to another recliner nearby.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:43 pm

<"Oh, thank you. I've been travelling all day--I could use a sit.">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 1:45 pm

He waited until she sat to speak.

<"So you just arrived today?">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:00 pm

<"Oh, yes. Just in time for classes. My travel plans kept getting held up at the last minute. I just put my things down in my room and started poking around.">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:03 pm

<"Pretty much what I did when I got here.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:04 pm

<"Oh, are you in Sydney, too? I'm rooming with...Bear, I believe her name was.">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:06 pm

"Proudstar actually. I've met Bear though. Nice girl."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:08 pm

<"She seems like it.

I haven't made my way over to Proudstar yet; you'll have to show me sometime.">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:11 pm

<"I'd be glad to. I chose it for the private bedrooms, due to the fact that I sleep best in total darkness.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:12 pm

<"Because of your mutation?">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:16 pm

<"Exactly. I need to remove my special contacts at night. Without them light hurts my eyes. And unlike a true reptile, the sun is never my friend."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:34 pm

<"Wow, that must make getting around difficult.">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:38 pm

<"I've... adapted. I can go outside in the day but my extra defenses only hold up so long.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:41 pm

<"That's too bad.

I guess that means you're not a morning person, huh? A bit of a nightcrawler?">

by **John Hino** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:44 pm

<"Pretty much. I can still stay out in the sun a couple of hours before I sticking to the shade becomes necessary.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:45 pm

<"That's too bad. Must be rough.">

by **John Hino** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 11:16 am

<"I manage. It's hard to be too sad about it when I've never known different, aside from worse.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:14 pm

Ayami frowns.

"<Still, that's really no way to go through life. You're fitting in better here, I trust?">

by **John Hino** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:18 pm

<"I fit in pretty well at my last school as well. Mutants are much better at accepting physical differences than others are.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:22 pm

"<Oh, were you at a mutant school before, then?">

by **John Hino** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:26 pm

<"The Academy of Tomorrow in Chicago. It's like the Xavier Institute in New York, however non-mutants can also enroll.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:31 pm

<"Oh, wow. That must have been nice. I just bounced from normal high school to normal high school--I don't know if there are just less mutants over in Japan, or if they just don't have an institute like that...">

by **John Hino** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:38 pm

<"With the special needs mutants often have, it is a shame there are so few schools designed with us in mind.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:39 pm

<"Well, I suppose having this many mutants in one place COULD get chaotic. I mean, not all of us are...judicious in our use of powers"> Ayami said, a small blush coming to her face.

by **John Hino** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:46 pm

<"That is true. Sadly that is one of the more rational reasons to fear us.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:52 pm

"<I suppose...though you wouldn't begrudge a carpenter for...carpentering. I don't really see why they should begrudge a mutant for using their abilities, if they're not hurting anyone.">

by **John Hino** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:54 pm

<"It's what they're used for that matters.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 6:57 pm

<"You're right, of course. Still...">

by **John Hino** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 7:00 pm

<"What is appropriate is very much in the eye of the beholder.">

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 7:04 pm

<"You're right, again. Doesn't make it any easier on us WITH powers, of course.">
