Kino walked silently along the rivers edge, her hood was down during this dark night. Her arms and legs hidden in her cloak. Carefully her gaze shifted and studied the area. She bit her lip faintly then slowly sat down on a near by rock her hands emerging from the cloak her hands softly feeling the texture of the rock. She gave a soft smile and licked her lips. Slowly she slid a bit down teh rock and laid her gaze shifting up to the starry sky. She smiled faintly as the white dots carefully twinkled above her slowly her left hand reached ahead of her as she pretended to grab at one of the stars, slowly a soft electric sounding hum came. The sound hit random notes as she 'sang' her song, to anyone that was listening it faintly sounded like 'catch a falling star'. Suddenly it stopped and she sat up slowly, listening close to the sounds around her. Someone was near, very near slowly she stood her body turning to a black haze as she shifted to hide behind a tree. Tense and ready. |

Milt walked through the forest, enjoying the sounds of the rustling leaves and the chatting birds. Here, in the forest, is the only place that he felt safe. Even though he was technically with the grey company, he still didn't know or trust anyone there.
As Milt walked, he slowly began to pick up on another presence. It wasn't one that he was familiar with. However, it seemed to come from a shade. Quietly, Milt progressed through the brush as he covered his vital organs in the solid rock that he was composed of. Just as a precaution he thought to himself.
As he came out of the brush, he came to see a small river. Using his natural ability, Milt could still sense the nearby shade. Only thing that puzzled him was that he could not see him... her... it. Nor did he know where its allegiance stood. |

When the man walked into the clearing Kino studied him closely for a long moment. He wasn't much older then her.. and he wasn't human..what were the things called? She couldn't remember carefully her for shifted to a tree closer to him to get a better look. His brightly colored hair caught her attention first. She'd never seen such a pretty color. Her head titled faintly. Carefully she spoke.
" Speak. Kind sir, Do you mean any harm?" she asked by carving it into a tree with her electricity-ness before shifting to a new location waiting for his answer as she watched him closely unsure on the being in front of her. Hopefully, he wasn't out to harm Kino was no good at fighting.. She was great at hiding though. For what it was worth.

The water trickled lightly as Milt tried to find the mysterious shade. He couldn't see it, however he still knew it was in the area though it seemed to jump from place to place. "Speak. Kind sir, Do you mean any harm?" the voice said from no where. Milt stopped for a moment and looked around. "It would depend. Do you yourself mean any harm?" Milt asked the ominous voice.
He wasn't sure what the intentions where but coming from the voice, the person sounded mildly young. Possibly around his age. Though he knew that no matter the age, do not underestimate the opponent. That teaching was drilled into his head time after time by his father. If he came down too it, Milt felt confident in himself. He had plenty of ground to use considering he was in the forest. Alert and ready, Milt watched his surrounding as well kept a track on the mysterious person that he couldn't see. No one was going to sneak up on him.

So it depended on her. Even if she wanted to cause harm she was smart enough to know that this man would easily win against her. Especially in this area. She was silent a long moment before she made up her mind. They wouldn't get anywhere with both of them so high on defense. Besides, she was faster them him...in a sense. With a deep breath she studied him a moment then shifted into the middle of the lake, now making herself visible to him, her head tilted the water up to her thighs. Her hood was up hiding most of her face. Her lips sat undetermined. " I mean no harm. Nor any discomfort." She wrote out in the tree, then simply let the water roam around her legs.
Slowly she took a few steps forward and climbed up onto a rock and sat down her eyes still curiously watching him from below her hood. He really did look quite intriguing to her. She'd heard about these creatures but never before had she actually seen one.

" I mean no harm. Nor any discomfort."
Milt relaxed a little as the girl appeared before him but still kept some of the stones over his vital organs just to be on the safe side. The girl seemed to really mean what she had said and didn't seem to have any intention of harm. Milt watched the girl climb the rock and sit on top of it. Yup, she was a shade just as he expected. However she seemed relatively young. Probably close to him in age. Which was good, this meant that her powers weren't quite developed. At least ... he hoped.
Milt smiled friendly at the girl. Granted, he didn't trust her but there was still no reason to at be kind. "I'm Miltiades Seneca. You can call me Milt for short." He introduced himself as the ground lifted from underneath him, giving him a lift so that he could look the girl eye to eye. Her eyes were a calming gray. With that, Milt wondered what the girl thought about him. His eyes were red and he had gems located all over his body. Surely she hadn't seen many of his kind. After all, the myns usually kept to their own little tribe and didn't go out much.
Though they both were in the same situation. Milt didn't know much about the shades and he doubted that this girl knew much about the myns. |

Kino watched him as he lifted the ground to look her eye to eye. His red eyes and stone like skin made her watch him in awe. Slowly her hand reached out and ever so lightly brushed against his skin, then she blushed darkly and quickly pulled back " S-sorry" she said and dropped her gaze her hand retreating back into the shade and comfort of her cloak. The dark blush stood out brightly against her pale colored skin. A soft sigh passed her lips, which were also the soft grey color. Her gaze shifted back to him slowly. He was so intriguing to look at, she learned from touch.
Especially with her lack of ability to talk, When he introduced himself she smiled then hesitated, she couldn't exactly care a rock like she'd carved the trees before. Slowly she dipped her finger in the water and wrote it along the rock ' K-I-N-O S-E-I-L' each letter blended in with the next and a soft sigh passed her lips and she gave an apologetic smile to the boy below it she carefully wrote the numbers '1-0' and hoped that was enough for him to understand. She wished she could talk, another sigh passed her lips.

Milt smiled as the girl touched his skin. Even though it made him uncomfortable, he wasn't going to let her see. He just kept his guard up for anything that was out of place. Then he noticed that the girl seemed very sorry about her action. "Its alright." He said in a simple matter-of-fact tone.
She seemed like a nice girl but looks could be decieving.
"K-I-N-O S-E-I-L"
He watched as the girl wrote her name on the rock, along with her age. IT confused him as to why the girl didn't just tell him. "Are you a mute or something?" Milt asked, slightly confused. He never have had to communicate with a mute. So this was going to be interesting. He just hoped there wouldn't be any misunderstandings |

Kino smiled and nodded slowly then put a finger to her lips, just to emphasize the nod. She was still a moment, then slowly held up her hands palms facing each other slowly the blue line of electricity could be seen going from one hand to the other, the lines bobbed up and down as different noises were made. Simple pitches ranging form high to low. She wasn't sure how to explain what she was thinking, or how her brother and her had used the simple noises to communicate basic emotions and words. A soft sigh passed her lips and she looked down to the rock.
This was difficult. Slowly she stood on the rock, she looked around a moment then jumped from it the water splashing up around her. A soft smile passed her lips as she did, then she walked over to the sand and took a stick and carefully started writing.
Since writing takes to long, my brother and I would use my electric powers to talk...sorta
She paused then looked to Mil again and smiled
more like, different sounds mean different feelings..then a sound for yes, no, left, right, straight, back up and down. Basic..words

Was Milt going to have to learn these different sounds and meanings. It sounded rather difficult. However, if thats what it took, then Milt would do is best."That's an interesting way of communication." Milt said with a small smile. The girl was trying to be friendly, so he would be friendly back. Though he still did not remove the rocks from his vital organs. Sure she may seem nice, looks could be deceiving though.
Milt re-read what the girl had written. Since writing takes to long, my brother and I would use my electric powers to talk...sorta
So where was this girls brother now? Milt got down on his hands and knees and felt the ground below him. He didn't sense anyone else in the area. So maybe she was alone? "Where is your brother now?" Milt asked as stood back up and dusted off his cloths. surely the girl wasn't alone in this forest. Where she could be attacked so easily? |

Kino nodded. It was indeed an interesting way to communicate but if it was all she had..it was all she had. When he asked of her brother she tilted her head faintly at him her pale skin seeming to pale a little more.. she gave a little shrug then looked to the ground.
She had no idea where he was. Slowly she erased the sand and started to write again. we split up.. a few months ago, after our parents were murdered... he said it was safer slowly her gaze shifted up to him and she gave a weak smile.

Milt felt terrible as he read about what had happened between her brother and family. He knew what it was like to loose people. He lost his entire clan, including his parents. So milt could relate better then anyone as to how this girl could feel. Though, how could it be safer if her and her brother were separate? He didn't understand the thought behind it.
He smiled slightly, "Sorry. I didn't mean to pry." Milt said apologetically. He really was. To be left alone to fend for herself. If he had any family left, Milt would have been defending the person with everything he had. He wouldn't have just left them to fend for themselves. Milt smiled as he created a miniature flower piece out of some of the rocks below. "Here." Milt said as he handed the girl the flower piece. It wasn't much but he felt sorry for the girl. |

Kino smiled to him, she didn't mind that he pried. Not really, but it still made her sad, there was so much she didn't understand about it. So Much going on she didn't even know about. She'd find out soon enough though.
Her head tilted slowly as he did something with the rocks. When he handed her the flower she got a bright smile and giggled then wrapped her arms around him and she smiled. As she hugged him the soft electronic sound passed. Though both tones were in the higher pitch range one was lower then the other, the two noises repeated over and over again as she continuously thanked him
