A Dip (Open)

[Onides Une]

She let slip a chuckle before pulling her PT from her back pocked and searching Smurfs.

"No there is a thing, used to be called television before the big war. People created moving paintings and called them animations. Thats a latin word... It means; the action of imparting life... Its art and entertainment... Totally harmless and fun." from her PT she would show him a clip of the old show as it was featuring the buff one with a heart shaped tattoo on his shoulder. She did that for a cheeky measure.

"But this era of animation is really old peopel rarely even know what it is. However..." she would fast forward to something more her speed. An epic anime intro would begin to play. One that would be called Naruto. The Kisame vs. Itachi fight to be exact. Another cheeky measure of hers.

With him getting hung up on what a smurf was she assumed he processed things slowly. She would go ahead and hold off on the Qi thing... For now.

[Triton Augustus]

Wonder filled the sea of Triton's mind as if a school of Pacific Mackerel, its scales of awe flashing questions in his now entranced eyes of crimson.

"These trinkets, described by my comrades to be the tea of P, have been made known to me, though mine eyes feel deceived still with each flash of its light. However these.. moving pictures.. never before hath I seen them.. fascination fills me so. I know not how men create such devices with the metal that maketh the sword, or how they induce it with such sorcery, but my time in the mainland hath brought to my spirit humility, for mainlanders possess such wit that I before had not supposed they would. But alas, here I stand, witness to man's work of the pen move as if touched by Poseidon's hand that gives life to you and I."

With great curiosity, Triton extended a finger toward the strange characters conjured by the little metal machine to see what would come of his making contact with it.

[Onides Une]

She would pop his hand with the tip of her own and look at him with a stern expression.

"You sir Triton doth think not to touch mine stuff for a time. Look yes, but not touch." her eyes narrowed as a finger waved in his direction. She was indeed serious. But she quickly turned it into a smile.

"Would you like one of your own? Cabal can give you one and we can show you how to use it?" she would draw the letters in the sand P.T. to show him. "If you say the Tea of P instead of PT they are going to think you drink tea with... Something gross." she cleared her throat moving on as quickly as possible with a furrowed expression.

"Anyway, yeah I can help you, show you how to use it or answer any other questions you'd like. Magic is just science that has yet an explanation, and science is straight up truth, tried and tested. Science answers why the ocean is blue and the grass is green." she reassured.

[Triton Augustus]

He knew not why she began to talk in such a ridiculous way, but she soon returned to her usual tongue. As the tender creature spoke, various "Hm"s and "I see"s came forth from his mouth.

"Well, dear Oni, I am no scholar, but the reasons for the hues of the world we all swim within I can tell you. It is because the great Poseidon, my Father and Our Creator, painted them so! I hath no need of science to tell me such truths. However, should you show me how to master the art of this.. um.. P T," his tongue eluded haste, "I would be most pleased. In return, I do believe owe to you a new book."

[Onides Une]

"Yes and one day even you can grow powerful enough to do the same or more." she grinned shrugging. Suppose it didn't matter what be believed. He ws here at Cabal so he sought strength and wisdom.

She kept her smile for a moment as he spoke and then quickly lost it. "You put a hole in my book and were mean, so you owe me a new book... Teaching you to use a PT, you'll owe me something else; to be determined at a later date of course."

No way is he getting off easy after this. She would normally offer this kindness free of charge but he was considered what some in relationships might say "in the dog house" until further notice.

[Triton Augustus]

"Yes, of course m'lady, that is what I sought to imply," Triton offered as a reply, bowing with humility a gesture of apology.

"Shall we take our leave this moment? Or shall it be a later day?"

[Onides Une]

She stood brushing off the sand from her body and clothes. Watching him bow she just couldn't help but feel that she liked this part of him. It was sweet and gentlemanly he sort if teleported her somewhere far away in a place she couldn't pin point. If they had met while he acted like this she would have likely thought him positively romantic. But he now had some mending to do.

shoving her PT in her back pocket ready to head back. "Yes, Triton, I do believe we may." she smiled kindly holding the remains of her old book under one arm and hoisting her backpack of other books comfortably om her back.

[Triton Augustus]

"Marvelous!"

With a slow gesture of his hand toward no particular direction, Triton spoke to her, "Lead the way."

Following a moment of silence, he added furthermore, "I do not know the way to our destination, unless it is near water."

[Onides Une]

"Then hold for me a sec." she would head off back toward the school. She ventured through the training grounds often but they were pretty huge still stretching miles and miles.

She hopped up a tree and her sticky fingers took her high she looked out over a short branch like she was on the tallest lookout of a ship. Yup she knew where she was going. Crawling back down with expert level agility.

"Alright follow me." she gave him a thumbs up and began walking.

Qi:2

[Triton Augustus]

The head of the blue scaled islander shook as a chuckle slipped its way from his chest.

The two would trek onward to their destination side-by-side, and Triton anticipated the journey would be rather enjoyable. As they began, he asked his new friend, "Now, Lady Oni, tell me more about these, um, 'smurfs'??"
