Welcome to Gaia! ::

His small self inking quill made quick dashes as the masked wizard in white jotted down a few more notes on several of the new students. Every year he had to make new douses for the first years and try and collect as much information as he could on them. It was never an easy task and one he always made more difficult by adhering to his defined R.O.E (Rules of Engagement) of little contact. Each year new students peaked the White Fox's curiosity and so each year he replayed the same act he was doing now. This year however it appeared he would not be without distractions.

The White Fox sat nestled into a deep shadow filled corner of the Great Hall, its lofty high ceiling providing wonderful cover and hiding areas during his down times. That and the more often than not floating candles or enchanted weather provided additional cover for the masked wizard. Normally he paid no attention to the children that came a went below him as he had no cause to observe them at this point in time. However on this day two young students wandered in that were on his lists and so he thought it best to take the time and do some passive observing. Jaden Salling, male age eleven and Grace McHalen, female age twelve, both were marked as simply curious for the time being or CFTTB for short. No real reason to be placed in the watch with extreme care category or WWEC, yet.

For now the black slits that appeared as the eyes from the inari mask watched from high above the great hall for anything odd or out of the ordinary. Sound was a problem for the moment given the location and distance but visual observation would do for right now. After this he would make his patrols and then hunker down in a few of his perches to watch for anything amiss going down. This year was also the year the White Fox thought about making his presence a bit more known around the castle. He could only cover so much ground a day and there might be situations he was missing out on by staying in spots for the allotted stack out times. If the students felt they could call on him for help maybe he could be more effective in turning a positive quota this year.

Gracie finished her food. She looked up at Jade when he offered to play a song and smiled widely. "Please do." Gracie answered. She had loved the song he had played last night and couldn't wait to hear more. She felt like someone was watching her, but after last year she had really gotten used to the feeling. It was usually just ghosts lurking in the walls trying to enjoy life... or living death or whatever.

Gracie listened to him play, tapping her fingers against the table to the beat, a smile playing on her lips. When he finished, she leaned forward and kissed him again. "It was wonderful." She whispered.

Gracie smiled when Jade pulled her closer. She chewed her lip when he asked her his question. "Well I dunno." She said slowly. "I mean this is the first I've done anything like this too." She looked up at him. "I mean I've flirted with guys before obviously, but nothing more than that." She paused twirling a piece of hair around her finger thoughtfully. "Do you want it... or err us I guess.. to be a relationship?"
