Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'd expect so." Belazerith said humourously. "By the way, you can call me Laze, or Lazer, or whatever you'd like. I know Belazerith is a bit of a mouthful to say; I have no idea what my mother was thinking when she named me." he laughed.

"And that would be perfect. We can start whenever you feel like it. And hey, when you get bored with training, we can always take a trip to the arena in town. It's occasionally fun, and the fights are to the death." His eyes flashed as he spoke, as if he thought a fight to the death would be the most thrilling thing imaginable.

[[Yeah...I just didn't want to be typing Belazerith over and over. xD]]

Lazer laughed at the mention of the name 'Bel', but nodded approvingly at Lazer. "Lazer it is then. And yes, it is quite interesting. They have all different types there; Masters of weapons, Elementals, Elves, I've even seen a Vampire there once." he thought distractedly. "He was marvelous...I wish I could have faught him..."

Shaking it off, he looked back to Alex, smirking slightly. "Well, I was trained pretty much every day of my life up until age nineteen, when my father died. So I guess fighting would be my favorite hobby. Besides," he went on, guesturing around the room, "this is all from winning multiple times without getting touched. The arena offers great prizes. If you're good enough, I may even take you to the city's collesseum..." His eyes went all dreamy as he spoke, sighing in rememberance.

"Of course I do. Any man or woman who can even touch me has a chance, let alone burn my side to a third degree burn." he said, chuckling slightly. He watched bemusedly as Alex ate another sandwhich. "Leave some room for dinner, there. I'm having the cook make filets tonight, in honor of finally finding someone who may actually be able to hold his own in the arena." he laughed, quite good-naturedly.

In reality, it'd been years since he'd found someone with this much potential. The last was a woman, an elf. She'd been a slave as well, though not in the same place. He bought her from a passing caravan for a dirt cheap price, trained her, and gave her a place in the world. Sadly, during a fight with another elf, she was killed bye a slow acting poison after the fight.

Lazer sighed, running his fingers through his hair. He was tempted to survey Alex's mind, to find any flaws in his technique. He resisted, though, wanting to make sure he had his permission to do such a thing.

Alex smiled. He found himself, happy, that something was expected of him. It was quite an odd feeling. Alex perked up as Lazer mentioned filets. He nearly choked on the sandwich he was in the process of eating. "Filets!?" he asked with excitement. "I haven't had those in forever." he commented.

Alex looked to Lazer. "You remember when we battled, I hope that you would, when I started crushing you with air? Well, once I learn hydrokinesis from you, I should be able to turn the oxygen in the air into water, while creating a barrier around my opponent, not allowing any more oxygen in. Then I can make the barrier tighter, crushing my opponent wiht the water." Alex said, explaining his scheme. "It'll take some doing, but if I can pull it off, there is no chance that they would be able to escape, unless they are telepathic, then they might find a way."

The twins shrugged boredly, a short wave of anger washing over them and dissipating with even greater speed. "As you wish, eater of souls. It is not our place to bother with those unworth the effort. Let others take that risk. Do be well informed however, that you have changed our opinions on the human race. Whether it is a change for the better or the worse is yet to be seen." They nodded sharply.

"And it would also do good for you to try not making those imbecilic threats. You'll never get bought, you see." Absinthe began, pausing when Nephthysia took up the argument from there. "And if you aren't sold by the time you pass the prime age of sales...Well, humans may be stronger willed then we believed but..." The blonde's voice trailed off and her brother finished the statement readily enough. "That doesn't make them any harder to kill."

And with that closing statement and an inhuman ability to ignore the yelled mockery they continued down the corridor, both wondering if it wouldn't have been better if they'd just taken the foxlet and left the hall for one of the hundreds of rooms in the mansion tailored to suit every possible need. However, they were not fond of the idea of settling, and until they could be certain that Doran was the best choice, they would continue.

So, Absinthe again clutched his sister's waist and Nephthysia's arm found it's comfortable familiarity across her brother's shoulders as they walked in sync, grey eyes scanning the left side row of cells while golden ones searched the right. Looking for something, anything, to catch their interest.

Laughing once again at Alex's excitment, Lazer listened as he heard him speak of his tactic. "Sounds applicable, doable, and rather complicated to do, even mastering both arts." he said, eyes twinkling. "If you can manage, I'm sure you wouldn't have much competition."

"I was thinking about combinations of Pyro and Hydrokinesis. I could use both at once, or both intertwined in a spiral, like the final move I used on you. Fire and water. Or...I can crystalize the water to ice, hardening it and making it unmeltable. Envelope that with fire, and there, you've got yourself a flaming ball of spiked ice."

Running his hands through his hair again, he remarked with no hint of sarcasm, "I'd say you're ready for a few rounds in the arena already, though extra training always helps. It's up to you when you'd like to go."

Sorry!

Just entering the room, Zaira went over to sit in a corner. She had been new to places before, but was not very good at breaking the ice. Oh well... She thought to herself. I probably should get used to the place first... Zaira took out a notebook and started doodling aimlessly while listening to her headphones. She hummed along to the music, Simple and Clean. After one duration of the song, she began to sing along the next time, all the while drawing a random character in the notebook.
