Library
"I'm 17!" She said pooping her knuckles((my friend pointed out I do it when nervous or excited and he concluded I do it all the time lol.))
A fleeting second, back to a dead end. Moko was not bothered that she was a year older, like some people might have been. But to be fair, he was a little preoccupied with thinking up bad, impromptu poetry in his head to be concerned with much of anything. "What grade are you in?" He asked, continuing the conversation.
"Junior. You?" She said while looking around the library
"I'm a sophomore this year." He replied, shrugging one shoulder. In all fairness, they probably should have bumped him down a grade since he'd missed a lot of school, and he'd have to work hard if he wanted to catch up. However, he wasn't sure he actually cared enough to get caught up. The only reason he would try would be for his dad, who had insisted he finish his schooling. Alas, what a feign! Fall has come again. "Do you have any siblings or family?" He inquired, trying to get to know something more about her.
"Ya an older brother and sister. What about you?"
A sister, a brother, how kind to one another. For me, for me, none such there. His random musings were getting objectively worse and worse from an artistic standpoint, but once he had started, it had hard to stop, even if his little rhymes were only in his head."I'm an only child." Moko answered, letting her make of that whatever she would. "Do you like having siblings?"
“Sometimes, that can be annoying especially as Forest fairy’s, bit they can also be amazing and protect me because again as aforest Fairy’s. What your power?”
"That must be nice to have someone you can rely on to have your back." Moko mused, part of him wondering how anyone on earth could trust anyone else that much. Even when it came to his own family, they were some of the absolute last people he'd trust to watch out for him."My power is air. I'm assuming that your power is earth since you're a forest fairy?" He asked, not particularly wanting to speak much to his own abilities as they were mostly useless.
"Mhm!" And I can always help you if you need me to!" she said smiling at him.
"Thanks for the offer." Moko replied. He was appreciative that she had been nice enough to offer, but the caution in him warned him against taking the offer too seriously. She seems kind, though. He thought, fiddling with the corner of his shirt absentmindedly. "What kinds of things do you like to do for fun?"
"Read, hang out in nature, exploring is something I love!" She said with enthusiasm
Now, someone was speaking his language. Exploring? Yes, please! Like that wasn't all he had been doing for the past couple of years. An elated grin formed on his face at her answer. "I'm a bit of an amateur spelunker, actually, and I like cooking and cartography and just going new places or trying new things in general. In case you hadn't noticed from my amazing concentration, I have trouble staying still for very long." He chuckled at himself, shaking his head at his own joke.
"Spelunking sounds fun! Have you found any caves yet? And honestly I have the attention span of a pea." She said bouncing her leg again
"Well, I haven't found any caves around here yet, which honestly has been a bit of a disappointment." Moko replied, wrinkling his nose up a bit at that. "But I'll keep looking until I either fall into one or discover that there really, truly aren't any."
Ayrlin laughed at that. She grew a pale pink rose in her ahand and put it behind Moko's ear
Moko accepted the flower with a mischievous grin. "Why, thank you." He bowed at the waist ridiculously, aiming to be the most silly gentleman possible.It just occurred to him that he hadn't introduced himself. "Oh, hey, I'm Moko, by the way. I think I forgot to introduce myself earlier, whoops." He rolled his eyes at his own forgetfulness, shrugging and grinning amiably.
Ayrlin rolled her eyes and giggled at him, "I'm Ayrlin!" She said reaching her hand out to shake. ((Its pronounced Air lynne by the way))
Moko shook her hand firmly and then let it go, though he was careful not to shake too hard. "Huh, that's a cool name. I don't think I've ever met anyone with that name before." He remarked thoughtfully. For him, that was saying something, considering how wide and far he had traveled over the past few years. Individual names were not generally something that interested him too deeply; he was more fond of comparing and contrasting varying traditions from different times and places, but he was always interested when he came across something he hadn't heard before. ((Okay, cool name!))
"Thanks! Yours is interesting too!" She said smiling at him
((what should we do keep talking here?))
((I’ll be back in a sec! I had to hop off suddenly, but I’ll be back in a few minutes, sorry!))
Interesting? Moko didn't think his name was super fascinating. It was basically just the same, repeating syllable, but he shrugged and just decided to accept the compliment. Whether she meant it or not wasn't all that important to him right now, though doubtless he'd think about it later on. "Sometimes people just call me Mo for short, so you can too if you like." It didn't particularly matter to him what she called him, but he thought it would be friendly to let her know. ((I do have to get off in ten minutes, though. I'll be back later tonight, but I've got somewhere to be soon.))
"Cool. Well, it was nice meeting you, Ayrlin." Moko nodded sharply, flashing her one of his usual, mischievous grins. "Maybe we'll run into each other again sometime." He stood up to take his leave, his legs itching to move and do something. As interesting as this conversation had been, he had been sitting still for about as long as he could handle. If he didn't go do a cartwheel or roll down a hill or something, he felt like his head was going to explode. ((Since I have to go for a little bit, I can just have Moko go ahead and exit the library, and we could have them meet again the next time I'm on? I don't know if you'll be on when I get back or not, but I'll probably be on tomorrow too. This was fun!))
((Alright It was!!)"It was nice meeting you too!" Ayrlin stayed in the chair and picked up her book again reading
Kaye sighed and leaned back in her floofy chair.
"You never answered my question." SHe said walking towards her. "Why did you follow me if you need no one to talk to?"
"Follow you? I wasn't following you. It's not like this is your library," Alaskaye said.
“Still I heard you sneaking around behind the shelves, why do you feel the need to spy on me?” She asked
"Spying? Don't be ridiculous. I can browse shelves if I want to. Again, not your library," Kaye said, rolling her eyes.
"Why would you want my name?" Alaskaye hissed. She didn't trust strangers and had no need to.
“We both go to this school, so stop being stubborn.”
"Stubborn? You're the one who insists that I'm stalking you. And you didn't give me your name." Kaye crossed her arms.
“I’m ayrlin. What about you?” She asked crossing her arms and looking down at the younger girl
"Still not telling," Kaye grunted, then went back to her book.
Ayrlin walked away from the girl and went back to her ow book.
Alaskaye sighed happily. Finally, no annoying girl telling her what to do. She focused in on her book, eyes scanning the page quickly.
((Um maybe have them bump into each other in the halls? Kaye could get so mad that she encases you in a block of ice and leaves you there!))
((Sure and then I can have Moko come and find me! I'll start))
Ayrlin grabbed her book and left headed towards the hallway
((Wait there is no hallway topic I'll post one))
((See ya!))
Kaye gets up to leave as well. She was tired and wanted to sleep.

At her return question, his lips curled up into a mischievous grin. And so the conversation turns to me. Out of politeness or out of interest, time will reveal. "I'm sixteen." He answered. "How old are you?"
((Lol, same here. I get easily distracted a lot haha.))
