A New Tomorrow

Wake up, Slow down, Do nothing right now Breathe in, Breathe out Did we forget how To live, To dream And what it all means

                “It says words obviously, case closed.” Slams the book shut and feels the overwhelming urge to slam his head on the table. He was asked to read of all things, something he couldn’t do.

[kxllingkind]

There’s a soft sigh, Leilani lowering his own book to look at the blonde. “Seeing as it’s a book, I sure would hope so.” Maybe he should have asked a student for help instead? But, no, there hadn’t been a lot of time. Leilani had been in a bit of a panic when he’d approached the other. “Do you need some help? We can look at them together instead.”

Archie raised his head and, upon seeing someone standing by the fence of his pen, gave a happy whinny, trotting over to greet them without hesitation. Once he got close enough, he let out a series of loud nickers, simply just glad to see someone after a while of being left out on his own. 

[kxllingkind]

He blinked when he heard the horse behind him, head turning to look back. “Oh...! Well, hello to you, too!” Truthfully, he’d been looking for a quiet spot to catch his breath... But, somehow, he already felt a bit more refreshed encountering such a friendly stallion. Leilani couldn’t help but smile, offering a hand to pet him.

❝You’re really late! That or I’m being stood up and you aren’t the one I’m waiting for…❞

@kxllingkind​ o.

[kxllingkind]

“Oh...Uh... Well, you see...” He fumbled for a moment, most definitely not the person that this person was waiting for. Still, it wasn’t fair for him to get stood up like this... “...I was held up at work later than I’d anticipated. Terribly sorry about that.”

[kxllingkind]

“Don’t forget to get an umbrella later,” Leilani made sure to remind the other, playfully tapping them with the tip of his. “There’s rain predicted for the entire week.”

[kxllingkind]

“I’m sorry, but if someone wants to ‘netflix and chill’, I want to actually watch a movie. Why is that even a thing, anyways?”

Learning of other creatures eating habits? Wasn’t that– kind of odd? But then again, humans in their entirety could be odd at times. And fascinating at the same time. He wondered how much those… schoolbooks knew about his kind then.

“ You aren’t…  surprised about… “ He pointed at himself to finish that sentence.

In his experiance humans were not just accepting that they invite a dragon along. Some don’t even know him to be a dragon even when noticing how he differs from a human… but this person… talking about having to look up what Cas can eat… it just seems like he has an idea of what he was.

“ And… you… aren’t scared? “

“Not in the slightest. If you had wanted to harm me, you could’ve done so already.” He fished his keys out of his pocket, opening the door and letting Cas inside. It wasn’t much of a surprise that the young one was confused. But Leilani couldn’t blame him; Humans and dragons didn’t always have the greatest interspecies relationship.

Inside his apartment, the first thing anyone was bound to notice the smell. Mostly of herbs of different kinds, the strongest being lavender and sage. Potted plants were scattered all around the apartment; On bookshelves, a desk, in the kitchen, on the coffee table... A few were vine plants, but the vast majority were the herbs that he liked to use in spellcasting. Crystals of all different kinds seemed to also be placed around.

All together, it looked more like the space that should be in a cottage. Not an apartment.

Setting his bag on the table, and motioning for Cas to do the same, the witch moved over to his bookshelf. “I grew up in a town called Avena,” Leilani explained, searching the spines of the books until he found the one that mentioned the bestiary. “A very magical place, even if not everyone could use it. Our classes included magical studies, something that you honestly won’t see around here.” The old textbook was flipped open, pages being thumbed through as he searched for the section on dragons.

“If anything... It’s nice to find someone like you. Makes me feel a little less homesick.”

“Do you need anymore assistance? Perhaps somewhere to rest?” Oro asked Leilani softly, already looking up to the mountain above with careful calculation. He couldn’t leave the man all alone where he could be at risk, that would have made his previous efforts worthless.

“A place to rest would...actually be nice.” After all that running, he was exhausted. Using magic as well didn’t help, but Leilani was mostly drained from the whole ‘running for his life’. Just an hour or so, and then he could try heading back home. The hunters should be gone by then, right? He sure hoped so.

“I donno, throwing rocks at people seems like a pretty effective way to get them to leave.”

“...While that is technically true, you could also get someone angry instead. So let’s not throw the rock, okay?”

[kxllingkind]

derriereunemasque​:

It was a first for the dragon to enter a appartment complex. Curious golden eyes looking around, getting familiar with the space humans live in. Somewhat distracted for a moment he didn’t answer Leilani right away.

He looked back at Leilani, blinking a little and tilting his head to the side.

“ Old schoolbooks? “

Leilani nodded. “Yes. Human children go to school to learn. Though the school I went to was...different from what most would go to.” He glanced at the door numbers, most from habit. He knew where his apartment was; Down that hall and to the left. “Magical and mythical creatures were a part of my lessons, especially the things that they could eat.”

Gil looked at him flatly. “Yes. That is a risk.” He replied, in a glibness that almost more than betrayed his intent for homicide.

“Murder is illegal! Not to mention it’s so unnecessary! Just... Just don’t do it!”

[kxllingkind]

leflayaway​:

“It’s not a matter of can, so much as should.” Gil reasons, as he hefts the infant-sized slab of malachite with a considerable difficulty. “Neither of which are bounds I personally pay close attention to…”

He could only grown, his face being covered by his hands for a brief moment. At least his students listened to him. “Obviously. Could you not do it anyways? Or at least find something smaller... I think you’d actually end up killing someone with that.”

[kxllingkind]

thelittlestdemon​:

Shylow froze, hand raised and ready to start chucking the big ass crystal she found.  She looked over at the man “Why not?”

“Because that would hurt them.” That was the main reason, at least... But, hey, she stopped. That was good. “A banishment doesn’t hurt anyone. It just...makes them leave.”

[kxllingkind]

“While many crystals can be great for banishing negative influences in your life, that does not mean you can throw rocks at someone!”

“ Nice… to meet you… too. “

Very nice to meet someone this friendly. 

He was quick to follow Leilani, eyes just looking around as they walked. Somewhat trying to remember the way, but mostly just getting familiar with this place. Never really having been to cities for a long time to get a good look.

“ Uhm… I… … never cooked… “ He didn’t know if he’d be any help with that. He knew humans prepared food… Well… “ … but… I can.. cut veggies… ? “Spent enough time around humans to know how to hold a knife. Not like he used that skill much for his own. All he did for food was dive into the water and catch fish. And his teeth did the rest at that point.

Yes, fish could be good. He wondered if Leilani had that at least.

“ Uhm… I… … I like… fish? “

“That’s fine if you’ve never cooked. It doesn’t seem like a skill you really need.” No, a dragon wouldn’t need to know that unless they were trying to blend in. Cas still seemed to be learning how. Or maybe it was something else... “That sounds like a good idea. I won’t ask you to handle the bulk of the cooking unless you feel like you can.”

Thankfully, it wasn’t a far walk to his apartment. They were already heading into the complex itself, Leilani making sure that he kept pace with Cas. It made it a lot easier to talk. “Fish, huh? I can do fish. Sorry I don’t have anything fresh, though...” There was a small pause as he thought, tapping his chin.

“Hm... I might have to bring some of my old schoolbooks out, though... I don’t want to put something that would make you sick.”

[kxllingkind]

He smiled a little, and gave a little nod as he took one of the bags. The humans he had spent time around had taught him that he’d have to work for the things he wanted… It just felt right to make himself somewhat useful.

“ Lei– Leila– Leilani? “ Huh, the name was a bit difficult to repeat… “ Lei! “ He nodded again. Yes, the short version was much easier to say and remember. Then he pointed at himself. “ Cas. “ 

How absolutely precious. And probably a good thing Leilani was the one to find him, instead of anyone else. He would hate to think about what might have happened if someone cruel had managed to find the young dragon. “Cas. It’s very nice to meet you.”

He motioned for Cas to follow him, resuming the walk to his apartment. “Maybe you can help me cook, too. It’s fun to cook with others. Just let me know what you like, okay?” He knew dragons normally ate meat, but the kind was always different depending on the type of dragon. At least that was what he remembered from his schooling.

@kxllingkind​ ❤︎ for a starter

“A-ah ha…I almost didn’t make it.” And how utterly traumatized he would have been if he was late to the first day of his internship. Sprinting a foreign concept to Sullivan, he was panting as he wandered down the hall, small little swallows of breath taken to try and hide how worn he was, his cheeks bright pink. Gingerly he clutch his book bag close to himself. There was supposed to be a main office in plain sight…

Still worried about being late, he was about to scrounge up some courage to ask the first passerby for some assistance. 

“Um, excuse me, I’m sorry for bothering you. I am looking for the office. I-it’s my first day interning here and I’m a bit lost. Can I ask for some help?” 

[kxllingkind]

“Don’t worry...! It’s no bother at all. I was actually already headed to the office myself.” Granted, Leilani didn’t expect to run into a new intern on the way... But it’d be a little cruel not to help when they were going to the same place. He smiled at the other, holding up the small stack of papers he held in his hands. “Just take it easy. If they get onto you about being late, I’ll just say that I held you up.”

Not to mention the other just said it was his first day. Even if first impressions were important, the principal could be pretty understanding. “I’m Leilani Bion. I teach English. It’s nice to meet you.”
