Welcome to Gaia! ::

Niro had been watching their exchanges. He had been surprisingly concerned about Orin. So once again he'd followed him, simply because he was worried and had nothing better to do. Niro had discovered a great liking for apples. He was eating another one while the guy had his 'moment', this made Niro extremely curious. Minus the red eyes, he looked exactly like his Seekers and so, he was probably armed. It seemed trench coats and boots were in this season, so he was pleased. When the pair began to split up, Niro waited tensely, distrusting the guy anywhere around Orin. A thought crossed his mind; he needed more apples.

"Perhaps I could be of assistance?" Niro felt he was busted by Orin, he was almost sure if you saw Orin, you were already known. He walked over to the guy with the note and Orin. "I wouldn't doubt his skills you know, he's pretty handy to have around. He found me this lovely apple tree while he went off to his dorm place." Niro pulled out an apple for inspection. "I'd take his offer if I was you. Mr... Pointy Object." Niro grinned and bit into the apple before leaning against the wall. You didn't get to be his age and not notice certain telltale signs of weapons; even his kind did carry them.

"Jolly good, my fame is known to some at least. Saves me the trouble of having to explain myself a million times to ignorant people." He took another bite of apple. "You'd have been a fool to try it. I nearly got Orin there hit by car, just imagine what I could do to you. Actually... Don't, its rather messy and I wouldn't want to waste the apples." He returned to his apple, quite enjoying the newcomer.

Niro chuckled, "I know you did, Oracles are telepaths. This talking thing is weird. Just because I can no longer use my powers doesn't mean I can't feel when you do. Some future advice, stop. I can not only shut you out but, overload your whole mind if you persist in continuing. To let you see into the heart of time is rather... Dangerous. It's just easier to let you learn things by yourself then explain them, that gets boring fast." He stared intently at Loreno for the longest time.

"You're going to be a delight Loreno, I think were going to get along just fine." He finished the apple and with an excellent overhand shot, got the core into a waste bucket teen feet away. "Whatever you do, don't ask me how I just did that." Niro was starting to like this rag tag group of friends. "So, Orin are we going to go on this wild hunt of death and dismemberment? Course it could be nothing more then unprofitable boredom. I can't tell you, that would be spoilers." Niro was hoping Loreno was going to take another stab on his mind; he was going to learn exactly what Niro had meant regarding the apples.

Lereno shrugged as Niro explained what he was capable of. It was kind of moot anyhow...Loreno had made his point, and had already planned on stopping as it was with the mind reading bit. He then simply furrowed his brows slightly in the boy's direction...saying nothing, but rather using facial features to show that the joke he just made was fairly annoying. He then frowned when he mentioned he lost the scent.

"...I see. If you will, then please do..."

His reaction to Loreno having a sword made him smirk and let out a quiet chuckle. Illegal?

"It's only about as illegal as owning a gun. You might say...I'm a modern day sellsword with previous age equipment."

"Just one." Niro grinned a little, "and its a statement. I'm coming to class with you. I want to see the kind of things they teach you in this building, clearly, it must be nothing useful. Since you have yet to learn the subtle art of making a joke at other people's expense." Though Niro was secretly laughing at the glorified stick comment. "Furthermore, they cannot refuse me entry due to rule 37, Part 4, Section 3.1: Unauthorized attendance of Lectures, Labs or Other Classes in the Facility. It clearly states that as long as I am not from the surrounding area and a guest of the Student in question I can 'sit in' so to speak." It looked like he'd done a little more then eat apples in his free time.

"In addition, Lereno has a stick. If Orin trips over the author of the note, how is he going to protect himself hm? Obviously his ability to make his opponent laugh themselves into submission is very lacking. So I can provide a little protection if need be. Even Lereno must see the sense in this, after all we kind of need Orin alive. So keeping him safe in a way that is a little... Safer, is a wise course of action." Niro looked like he dared either of them to defy his brilliant logic. "Then maybe we should find some pie, for it is rather tasty I have heard. Pumpkin or Chocolate perhaps?"

Loreno simply ignored the stick comment. Orin apparently did not understand the fine art of the sword...well, if he stuck around long enough, perhaps he would learn.

"You mean they would -try- to fill me with holes...gun wielders tend to find me a harder target to hit than anticipated."

He simply dropped the subject from there, and listened to the conversation between the two in silence. He made no indication of...well anything when Niro mentioned him seeing sense in keeping Orin safe. He showed no indication of either agreeing or disagreeing...though he did somewhat agree that making sure the kid was safe was a good thing, as he seemed to be the only link to finding the writer of the note at this moment. He did not speak at all until Orin was done talking.

"You needn't worry about me following you into class. Such academics are meaningless to me...I'll just stay nearby, hidden in the shadows until you're done. As for the fighting...I don't doubt you can take care of yourself. Just don't get overconfident..."

He himself knew his capabilities and flaws...he knew he wasn't invincible. Sure...he was hard to take out, he knew that. He had dodged bullets many times before. He also knew, however, that there's ALWAYS someone out there better than you are.
