Leon turned back around after Jessica reminded him that she existed. He had forgotten about her all together after the display of the other girl's entrance into the school that was still perplexing Leon. Was everyday here going to be like this with sudden appearances and disappearances. He hadn't meant to block out Jessica but the moment had just been so unexpected. He smiled and waved as he watched the girl walk away through the courtyard, "Alright see you around." Then there was nothing. The only sounds were those of the steady trickle and splash of the water in the fountain. The wind blew slightly and rustled the bushes and trees not to mention that it made itself known in Leon's ears. Thus he was left alone to his thoughts. The thing about a person's thoughts was that most people didn't like to confront their thoughts. It had to do with the confrontation of truth and Leon was no different from other people when it came to his thoughts. He laid back on the fountain again and shifted around till he was comfortable again. He started to whistle in order to make some sort of noise but during this time, at some point, he fell asleep. His mouth was slightly open, one hand almost touched the ground, his hair was blown in his face, and one tip of his jacket was back in the water. It didn't matter to Leon though because he was asleep and perfectly content.

(Sage, I'm intent on torturing you with my character's prescense, simply because you are on and I am bored...)
Walking back through the courtyard, Narcissa adjusted the bow against her back. She would have to find somewhere to set it down soon, along with the mirror, so she wouldn't have to carry it all the time. She paused at the base of the statue she had been intending on studying, though it wasn't what had her attentions. Rather, it was the same boy from before. He was fast asleep on the edge of the fountain, complete relaxed despite being on what she viewed as being an uncomfortable surface. Her head tilted to the side and she moved to where she was bending over to look him in the face, her hands clasped behind her back. The thick, curly plait of hair fell over her shoulder, the tips trailing beside his head as she observed him curiously. Never had she seen someone asleep before, being the only person among the gods who needed it, and it was intriguing to say the least. Little did she know that it was unsettling for most humans to have someone looming over them as they slept...

Leon stirred a little as he felt someone nearby. Even worse someone had entered his bubble while he was asleep. He remained asleep for a few moments with the hope that the person would leave but alas he was wrong. Whoever it was seemed to refuse to leave his bubble and let him rest. He opened his eyes slightly and looked out of the bottom of them first only to see some white clothing. He finally gave in and opened his eyes. He was shocked to see someone with there face so close to his, even more to notice that it was the girl from before. He was so shocked that he let out a slight sound, jumped, and landed into the fountain splashing water every which way. He sat up in the water to find that the one stream of water was trickling onto his head. He stayed where he was and looked at the girl for a few seconds before saying, "Hi"

Her reaction was immediate. As soon as he made a sound, Narcissa took a step back, her eyes wide. However, when he fell into the water, she gave a shriek of her own, taking several steps back to avoid the dreaded water. Only when she was sure that she wasn't going to get wet did she lower her arms from where they were protecting her face. Taking in his appearance, she lost it when he greeted her. Instantly, she began to laugh. The living clay doll covered her mouth with one hand as the other arm wrapped around her stomach, trying to control and muffle the sound. Finally, she caught her breath and lowered her hand to cover where her heart should be as she spoke, "Hello to you too. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you..."

Leon stood up from the water, not one particularly fond of water. Much less was he fond of being wet or being laughed at. Though he did imagine that he looked funny, he would have probably laughed if he had seen the sight as well. So he couldn't really blame the girl or get mad at her, though he did want to dry off. He stepped out of the fountain and looked at the girl. "Sorry about that reaction. I didn't mean to frighten you or anything." It was the girl from before who had made the odd entrance that had captivated Leon so well.

"It's alright, I shouldn't have been so close before," she assured him, even as she kept a wary difference between them. "I just... I can't get wet," she admited. It seemed silly not to tell him why she was reluctant to go near him right now; she also didn't want him to think she was being rude. "The glaze isn't that thick, and if the clay of my body soaks in water and then dries, I'll become brittle and begin to crack."

Contrary to what Varun's newly aquired stalker thought, he was looking for miserable people. Not for his own enjoyment, but to infect someone else with his singy-songy attitude. A genuinely good person, or just a currently cheery guy looking for someone to bug? Anyway, Varun searched through the crowd, doing a full 360. Spotting no one, he moves on, heading for an area known as The Gardens.

((Sorry about that I started arguing with my girlfriend and then my internet screwed up.))
Leon understood and looked at himself noticing that he was soaked. A chain of blue sparks started to run along his body as he looked up at her. They managed to successfully dry him off and left leon with a smile, "There we go, all dry." He looked at the worried girl again with a smile and a regained composure, "That is what you wanted right?"

(Aw, I'm sorry... cry My Internet was being screwy, too... Did you settle the arguement with her?)
She smiled at him gratefully and said, "Thank you." It was easier to talk to him than she thought. Sitting down gingerly at the edge of the fountain, Narcissa made sure she wasn't too close to the water before she grew too comfortable. With annoyance, she swung her braid back over her shoulder so it wasn't in her way anymore. Of all things she hated about being little more than a clay doll, it was the limited control she had over her appearance. If she had a choice, her hair would be chopped much shorter so it wasn't in her way all the time.

((Kinda we're still talking but we aren't arguing. We're still together but I don't feel real happy right now))
Leon went and sat beside the girl on the fountain. "That was some appearance you made earlier. I mean wow butterflies of light I can still hardly believe my eyes. Most people just seem to walk onto campus but you, you know how to appear."

A sigh escaped from the girl's lips as she continued walking, hands dangling at her sides. There seemed to be no one to talk to, or well no one she wished to approach. Glancing back, she noticed Leon was once again talking to the Greek Mystery that had appeared earlier. Good for him. Though she still wished she had someone to talk to herself. Going into the school building was not something the girl wished to do at that time, so she needed some place else to go. Perhaps the garden? Yes, that seemed like a good place to go. She liked flowers. Then again what girl didn't like flowers.
It was settled, she was going to the garden. With that, the girl walked towards the garden, hoping there would be some more excitement there.

(Mmmm... Going through a similar point in my own relationship... He rarely talks to me anymore...)
If Narcissa could blush, she would have. Instead, her face did its trick of acting like it was blushing and she ducked her head sheepishly. "It wasn't my doing," she admitted. "It was my mothers'. They have the true gifts. And travelling from one plane of existance to another is hard, too hard for me. I would have done it much quieter, but I let the three of them have their fun...."

"Oh I see." Leon nodded and shrugged slightly, "It was still amazing. I might be just unexperienced but here you just don't see things like...." He paused for a moment realizing what she had just said. He replayed it a couple of times in his mind to make sure that that was indeed what he had heard. Yeah that had been what she had said. "Did you just say that you have three mothers?" Maybe they were like her mother and two aunts or godmothers. Was it even possible to have two godmothers. He didn't think it was possible to have three mothers, in fact he was quite sure that, unless there was some sort of process that he wasn't aware of, it shouldn't have been possible.

Narcissa blinked and looked at him curiously. "Of course... Well, technically I don't have a mother, or a father, unless you consider Hephaestus, the one who made my body, my father and Hera, the one who breathed life into me, my mother. I was raised for the last four years by the Three Virgins, Athena, Artemis, and Selene. I consider them my mothers. They are the ones who cared for me, and they tried to teach me all they could." She shrugged casually as she added, "If I hadn't been placed in their care, I may never have felt the desire to be mortal."

Leon cocked an eyebrow once again a bit unsure of what he had just heard, "I think I understand. You were created by the ancient greek gods Haephestus and Hera for some purpose and you were raised by the three goddesses Athena Artemis, and Selene. That part I got, I understand it fully, I think, but what I don't get is why were you sent here if you lived there and why would you ever want to be mortal? I mean look at us we aren't all that great."
