An Erudite reading was nothing new. However an Erdite reading a book outside without sporting their typical eyewear? A like peculiar. Te Erudite in question was leaning back against a tree, a blue hoodie on and kaki pants, complete with heavy boots. The book he was reading was labeled "Symptoms of Schizophrenia." A little odd, but he seemed content, his hoodie over his face. Though it all seemed a bit suspicious to see him just sitting out here, reading about mental disorders, while being away from anywhere a person could find him easily. Almost as if he were hiding in the tree glade...

[Етеяиiту]

Though he was not the only one out on this evening. A tall female with odd colored hair and strangely captivating eyes that almost matched it sat below the tree, no knowledge that he was there, she didn't have glasses nor would she ever need them and this caused her to be outcasted by most people of Erudite. She wasnt wearing the usual garb, in fact what she was wearing was peculiar as well, black skinny jeans with a long sleeve white t-shirt and a burgundy-red jacket. She kept her hair up in a pony tail with her bangs sweeping elegantly across her forehead, the red-orange surely was odd but it was beautiful as well. Her eyes looked the same color from afar when they were really a beautiful Hazel color that seemed to change with the lighting and capture your heart. She was odd indeed, the way she started to hum a soft, beautiful song as she read a book, a book about bodily disorders and their cures.

The boy frowned, hearing something. He glanced down below and saw a girl sitting there. She wore red, yet she was reading a book. That seemed more Erudite, but she wore no blue. Peculiar. He listened to her a bit, and from the depths of his hood his silver eyes could be seen. That looked like sterling silver and gleamed slightly like a cat, with intelligence and calculated thinking behind them. However there also seemed to lurk something almost… sinister in those eyes of his. Perhaps because it was almost like he could see right through you to what you were thinking. The boy continued listening to the girl before he finally caught the tune she was humming and, looking back at his book, began to softly hum with her and get gradually louder, until it was equal volume with hers

[Етеяиiту]

Once she heard it and looked around to see what it was she saw him and jumped back, astonished "o-oh im sorry i-i didn't think a-anyone else was here" she said gathering up her book to leave.

[deepwallow]

The boy looked at her once again and chuckled faintly. "No, no. It was rather rude of me to tease you like that. Don't let me chase you away." He insisted with a faint smile, regarding her with those strange eyes of his

[Етеяиiту]

She tried to keep her eyes averted but she couldnt help herself, she looked into his and as soon as she did she couldnt help but smile, her eyes tended to draw people in, most of the time the wrong people while his, to most it would scare but to her, she welcomed their gaze "oh i was most likely intruding im sorry" she said, the dazzling smile fading.

[deepwallow]

The boy chuckling again, shaking his head. "This is open land. I can hardly claim it, which would then make you an intruder." He pointed out

[Етеяиiту]

She nodded "quite true" she said, her gaze seemed to hold worldly wisdom even the oldest didnt have.

[deepwallow]

He regarded her with curiosity as his gaze seemed to bore into her, rifling through her thoughts like an open book, before he glanced down at the book she held. "Interested in health disorders?" He questioned

[Етеяиiту]

"Somewhat" she said simply looking at his "schizophrenia?"

[deepwallow]

He smiled slightly at her questioning tone. "Well, with the increase in mental disorders in our own Order, I thought I might as well learn more about it."

[Етеяиiту]

She nodded "yes,do you have any? Mental disorders i mean?" She asked though he didnt look like someone to have any.

[deepwallow]

Here her laughed, a deep and throaty one. "If I did, how would I know? And why would I tell you?" He asked rhetorically, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Ah, but no. I do not have a mental disorder. At least to my knowledge." He shrugged. "And you?"

[Етеяиiту]

Hearing him laugh she stepped back a bit "y-yes i do" she said "and they are easily diagnosed if you are willing to talk.

[deepwallow]

He looked at her again and tilted his head to the side, curious now. "You have one? Of what type, if I may be so bold?"

[Етеяиiту]

She bit her lip and looked away, hugging her book to her chest before saying "depression and social anxiety though its nothing as bad as schizophrenia or down syndrome" she said.

[deepwallow]

"Ah." He said, shutting his book and leaping down to the ground before her. He was extremely tall and, while his face was decently good-looking from beneath his hoodie, his eyes still held that strange sinister quality, and now curiosity. "If I may continue to prod, might I ask how these disorders started? Or is that information best left alone?" He asked

[Етеяиiту]

She backed up another step and looked at the ground, she wasnt exactly as tall as him but only about two inches shorter and her eyes seemed to hold mysteries untold,"i dont really think you want to know"

[deepwallow]

"Oh, I do." He assured her with a half smile. "But I can see that you are uncomfortable to talk about it, so I will take back my question and give you another: Why are you out here?"

[Етеяиiту]

"Social anxiety, i dont like to be around a lot of people, and it seems that wherever i am there are plenty"
