"Now, this is the first time you two are meeting in this manner, correct?" Cassius asked as he guided Sky through the seemingly never ending network of caves. He has traversed these tunnels many times, but always alone.
He weaved through the tunnels as if they were nothing, but always glanced back at Sky every now and again to ensure she didn't get lost. His black and red eyes were tinged with a tiny bit of worry; he had not introduced anyone new to this place, with the exception of Auro.
The old man chortles.
"Ever since I brought up you and your lightning magic, he has been asked about you over and over. He will love this, I'm sure. But I must ask, are you okay with this meeting? He is more 'true to himself' here, so to speak."
Approaching what looked like a humble entrance, Cassius gave a polite yet firm nod to James who was standing in the way. James looked at Sky directly in the eyes, unblinking, before folding his arms.
"He may be asleep, but wakes up quite easily nowadays." James explains, "Just call out his name once or twice and he should wake right up. Behave yourself, no funny business and mind your manners. I will be watching."
Cassius and James stand side, allowing passage.
Ruth awaits inside, asleep and suspended in midair. His eyes are closed and heavy, his arms crossed over his colossal body as his flowing pink hair floats effortlessly around him. His entire frame glows slightly, his skin almost glittering with magical power as the bioluminescent plants on the walls brighten and dim with each inhale and exhale. He sleeps so soundly, unaware someone has dropped by for a visit.
'Aye, it will be!'
There was a nervous laugh as she recalled how she had gotten into this situation in the first place. One moment, she was having breakfast in a run-down tavern, the next, she was face to face with a stranger, smiling across from her at the table. Still sleep in her eyes, she didn't quite process what he was saying, but agreed to it for some reason....she couldn't remember if it were food or gold, but it was a better idea than she had at that moment. Work was dry...perhaps this could've provided a decent distraction?
----
'I'm sure it will be fine. He sounded delightful in the way you described him before. I have now issues with it' She offered a smile to Cassius, adjusting one of her gauntlets while walking.
As they approached the enterance, she caught the brunette's gaze, unnerved somewhat at the nature of his stare as he explained.
'I...see.' She frowned, somewhat confused at his scornful tone. 'O-of course. Why wouldn't I?' She was the first to drop her gaze, looking up to the other with a slow nod, taking a deep breath as she hesitantly walked through the door
The sight before was not one she expected, looking up in wonder at the floating figure. She remained still for a few moments, eyes wide before she somewhat returned to her senses, remembering the other man's instructions. Blinking a couple of times, she continued towards them, craning her neck up.
'Um...Ruth...was it?'
The figure's eyes slowly open, the bio-luminescent plants light up the room as Ruth takes in a soft breath. He scans the room, a little confused, as if he heard his name called out from his dreams. Ruth's eyes eventually fall upon Sky, his eyes widening in surprise with a tinge of fear; he had never seen this person in his cave before.
He placed his fingertips on the edge of the cliff as he lowered himself so he could speak eye-to-eye as much as he could. His impossibly long hair floated effortlessly around him, soft curls framing his doe-like eyes and slightly furrowed brows.
"Did you call my name...?" he asks softly, almost a whisper.
Ruth looked Sky up and down; this person seems seemingly familiar, but he could not place where. He did not want to examine her soul or her energies; that would be rude!
"Yes. I am Ruth. What brings you here?"
He smiled warmly, his glowing white eyes not leaving her for a second.
"So uh...been to any good bakeries recently?" - Auro
The booming voice startled her as jolted, turning on her heel to notic a pair of shoes infront of her.....huh? Her gaze travelled up, her hand razing to her face to block out the sun as she met the giant's gaze, noticing the familiar face.
'Walked past....a few. Actually bought anything to try...barely any' She had to project her voice, hoping it would reach him. 'Coin's been a little scarce-'
Her features softened as he explained, feeling nothing but sympathy for the man. He had a point, the average person was...ignorant to anything outside of their normal life. They see something new...and they either obsess over it, or fear it.
Sky was well travelled, having seen many different things throughtout her time. And while she couldn't advocate for the life she led...to venture somewhere new could allow others to see new perspectives. To allow others to see a different way of life...like Auro's.
'I...suppose when you phrase it like that'. She grimmaced, knowing that simple understanding would have helped solve the issue...but alas, the common person neither had the time or inclination to show as such.
Her eyes widened slightly, a smile pulling on her lips at the proposition. 'Considering we alread have a fire...I'd be more than happy to camp out here. Beides...' She chuckled pathetically to herself, thinking back to her coinpurse. 'I would be camping in any case. I don't have enough coin to rent a room for a night-'
"Alright. Easy done, then. I can try and find some food a bit later if you're feeling hungry. I'm not the sneakiest hunter but not many things can survive a boulder being hurled at it."
Auro shuffled away from Sky momentarily and took off his jacket, hanging it on some branches above her. Temporary shelter, he guessed. Standing up and stretching his arms above his head, Auro ran his fingers through his hair and let out a heavy sigh before sitting back down.
"I know it's not as fancy as a tavern room, but it's something. Just lemme know if you're hungry. Gotta find rocks to throw."

"So uh...been to any good bakeries recently?" - Auro
The booming voice startled her as jolted, turning on her heel to notic a pair of shoes infront of her.....huh? Her gaze travelled up, her hand razing to her face to block out the sun as she met the giant's gaze, noticing the familiar face.
'Walked past....a few. Actually bought anything to try...barely any' She had to project her voice, hoping it would reach him. 'Coin's been a little scarce-'
'Ahhh! That explains it then!' Her eyes drifted to the hills he had mentioned, noting the awkward pathing. 'I can see why that could be a problem...especially if you had cargo...that would slow you down considerably...and don't get me started on all the potential places for bandits to hide.' Her eyes narrowed for a moment as she thought about it, but shook her head. That was the old path, that should no longer be so much of an issue on this newer road...right?
'Hm?' She looked up at the other before looking back at the map, looking at the all the annotations. 'I...suppose I have.' She never stopped to consider it before...she travelled so much looking for work it never occured to her just how much she did...it was just a normal part of her life at this point. Gold wasn't going to wander into one's coinpurse afterall...
'You...seek solitude?' There was concern in her tone, eyes returning to him. 'Not a fan of people?''
Auro looked up at the clouds.
"It's not that I'm not a fan of people, it's that people aren't a fan of me. I can't blame 'em though. If you didn't know me already, how would you feel seeing me stomping around?"
His voice was laced with sadness, Auro's brows furrowing a little at the thought. It still hurt to think about. He can't blame people for being afraid; he would be afraid too if he were in their shoes. But no amount of sympathising and reasoning could heal the hurt he feels whenever he sees the fear in an innocent passerby's face.
"I don't get to talk to people and just be normal with them. Today is different. This is nice."
He peers down at Sky, a weak smile gracing his sunken cheeks.
"If you need to rest, you can camp out with me if you want. Bandits rarely fuck with me. Or if the town is fairly close by I'm happy to give you a lift."

how auro asks sky if they can travel together :)
"I-I-I heal... M-m-magic... Restoration is th-th-the easiest sh-sh-school for m-m-me." From Boe for Ruth
Boe is at the centre of Ruth's loving gaze, a smile forming on the god's face. Human magic was always so fascinating to watch. Cupping his cheeks with hands, Ruth crouches down to meet Boe's eyes as he looks into them further, studying the flow of magic through them.
"Restoration school? Have your kind categorised different applications of magic to further your understanding? Please, tell me more! What other schools are there? Is there any form of magic that cannot be categorised? What determines a certain school's difficulty?"
To hear how mortalkind have been able to harness and use something once exclusive to divinity fascinated him deeply.
"Uh... y-y-yes five m-m-main schools, um a-a-aptitude." Boe was unused to such a gentle touch Ruth was so close to them, also something they weren't used too. "A-a-alteration, Illusion, C-c-conjuration, Destruction a-a-and Restoration... I-I-I'm not th-th-the best p-p-person to e-e-explain this." They fidget nervously. "F-f-from what I-I-I understand p-p-people are b-b-born with th-th-the aptitude. F-f-for one o-o-or more, i-i-if they're b-b-born with it a-a-at all. S-s-some races a-a-are more... i-i-inclined then o-o-others... I th-th-think..." They really didn't know more than the basics about this sort of thing. They were self taught with no formal education on the matter.
Despite their lack of in-depth knowledge, Ruth nodded his head intently, hanging on to every word they said. Of course, Ruth knew all about magic and its origins, but to hear it from a mortal perspective intrigued him greatly. Gods never taught humans about the intricacies of magic as far as he knew, so hearing a completely human perspective on something so deeply part of him was exciting in way.
"So it varies from mortal to mortal...interesting..."
Ruth cups his chin in thought. He must see how mortals use magic.
"If you are comfortable doing so, may I see a demonstration? Even the tiniest of sparks would be joyous to see."

Cassius passes some popcorn to James.
"Hm. The weaker looking blonde boy seems to have finally grown a spine." The priest remarks. "Delicious popcorn, by the way."
