No Such Thing As Home

He looked over to Elrith and for a momment he shook his head, " I can't say that I am seeing a plane in this, my memmories...are strange Elrith. Sometimes I see the ground below me be broken down into void, and then I see the pieces come back together from a distant object."

But that wasn't the only story of what he had seen in his brief accounts of Planes Walking. He knew of places where his skills were greatly enhanced by the mental plane.

Once I saw through the eyes of another, the corporeal reality shattered before my feet then I appeared at a tree of light. Where I fought an Aethereal Prism Reaper, I survived it's onslaught only to have my body purified by the........Yggdrasil Tree.."

Thomas thought in his mind silently and then asked Elrith, " Have you ever heard of an Omega Plane though?" He would be curious but as of immediatly, he felt a girl behind the door, he could sense her presence. But didn't know here therefore didn't want to seem rude or anything. He merely walked to the door and stood there in his sandy white robe and black pants, boots, and long sleeve shirt with a leather belt.

Thomas looked quietly over to Trader with emerald eyes with a pearl white fleck in the middle of both his corona. " I am sorry but I felt you on the other side of the door, I assume you wanted to talk to Elrith?"

Thomas was a curtious fellow but blunt and to the point, maybe he opened people up to new possibilities. But in this stage he is begining to emerge in his own way of thinking. But what is all that experience to do without another source of contentment he wondered. Thomas often spotted opposite gendred pairs in ritual face sitting called making out so to speak.

He didn't seem to think that was all that bad, in fact he was curious about that facet of humanity. But on a side note he would study the Lor Nomina, as well as the Ryuujins to better make up his style in order to advance further.[i]

*Elrith appeared behind Trader. having hit the bell a few miliseconds beforehand.*

"Oh Ms. Trader... did you need to speak with me?"

*He asked quizically... he was a bit more used to this sight though, Ms. Trader was always down stairs from him and he saw her more times a day then any other staff member. He had learned her body language, her habits. Her stance and the way she was dressed he put together a few clues and came to a conclusion.*

"Going out for a night in the city assume?"

Trader spun, did a few double takes, before finally answering. She directed her words first to the person at the door, then at Elrith, unsure of who's questions she should answer first.

"Hi -- Yeah. Um, is... is this a bad time? Sorry, I just... Kinda wanted to let you know I was going out in case I like, wasn't here in the morning or something. So you'd know where to look."

She smiled, all teeth glowing, faltering as she glanced at the person behind her. She wasn't sure who he was, be she desided she had better at least say hi.

"Sorry if I am, uh, interupting something...." She stepped back, fidgeting, unsure of how to go about a greeting. Playing with her car keys, she ran the ragged edge along her finger, feeling the pull of the metal. She didn't feel trapped, exactly, the way she was between Elrith and the other man, but more unsure if she was supposed to be between them or to the side to they could see each other clearly.

Six feet from the edge....

He would shake his head and softly replied " No I was about finished, I was just collecting some study materials. I never get borred looking through an old book, reminds me of home."

He would extend his right hand out to Trader and give her a kind but small smile.

" I am Thomas by the way, you are?"

He listened to her and looked over to Elrith he would nod over to him in a sagely manner. " I will make sure to return them once I am finished. It was good to meet you Elrith, maybe I can learn from you later on."

Thomas looked over to Trader and asked her pointedly, " know of a good place to congregate?"
A small smile looking over to her, it was easy to assume from his point of view she was a mortal.
He certainly did feel lucky, not seeing a ring on her hand perhaps luck was in his favor today.

He'd slide by Trader and walk down the steps, he would fit the books in a strange pouch that contained the books without difficulty. His staff followed right behind him as he walked probably having forgotten to hold it. Maybe it would surprise Trader to see a staff that moved along with its master, or not.[i]
