Grateful for the change in subject Leon listened as the girl spoke about what she enjoyed. He nodded slightly understanding what she was saying about enjoying something. "I can't say that I've ever heard someone play the pan flute, that is kind of a rare instrument to find musicians studying."

"One of many signs I was raised somewhere archaic," she said in amusment. "To here the Muses talk, everyone used to play it. If I had one, I would show you what it sounded like. They aren't too hard, with practice. What about you? Any interests?" Tilting her head to the side, she didn't notice how dangerously close her braid was coming to the surface of the fountain's water. There was barely a breath of air between it and the liquid's surface.

Leon scratched the back of his head, "Well I used to do a lot of things, rock climbing, skydiving, one time we attached a parasail to the back of a friends car and I rode around on that, I like pretty much anything so long as I don't have to get into the water, especially if my parents thought it was a crazy idea. I used to love to drive them crazy when they were home."

To say Narcissa was confused was an understatement. She knew she had to avoid getting wet, she was made of clay. But why did Leon? And why did he enjoy driving his parents crazy? Narcissa held nothing but respect for the goddesses who raised her like their own, and wouldn't dare try to intentionally cause them mental harm. Rather than ask them both at the same time, she instead voiced her first confusion, "Why do you need to avoid the water? You aren't made of clay too, are you?"

Leon shook his head, "Oh nothing that tragic, not tragic for me at least. You see I have a constant electrical flow running through my body that I don't have complete control over and unless the water is completely pure, the current can branch out and hurt other people. So I'd rather not take the chance of frying someone.

Trying to make light of it slightly incase she had reminded him of something that upset him, she joked, "Well, if you ever accidentally end up in the water, I'm ideal to save you. Clay doesn't conduct electricity." She felt her braid enter the water at her slight movement, and she quickly jerked her head back to keep it from getting any wetter. As she combed her fingers through the fine strands, she asked casually, "And what about your parents? Why were you trying to drive them crazy?"

Leon shrugged, "Well I never really thought about it. I guess it was because they are so damn controlling. I mean I'm not a rebel or anything I just want to annoy them in return for annoying me. I suppose it is the whole military thing that drives their parental attitude."

"Control is sometimes needed though," Narcissa argued. "When you don't know the answers yourself, or if its an emergency that you don't know how to handle, someone else needs to be in charge. And if they need your help, they may not have time to ask nicely." It was odd to argue with someone. Usually, she was dealing with people who wouldn't tolerate her opinions. However, Leon didn't seem that way, so she felt safe saying what was on her mind.

"Oh don't get me wrong, I never completely defied them. I do love my parents but I just like to pester them like thy pester me. They would help me out of a ruff situation if I needed them to and vice versa." Leon didn't want to be misunderstood. Most of his authority issues were related to people that he just didn't like all that much, so there was a chance that he might not even bother the teachers here.

"I'm afraid you've confused me..." Narcissa admitted. The idea of bothering someone you loved didn't make sense to her. But then, her own ideas of love were somewhat idolized because of her unique situation. The only love she had ever seen in person was that Selene held for Endymion, which was far from ideal. She was her age for the most part except for when it came to experience with just about everything. There, she was noticeably lacking and often felt it.

Leon shrugged and gave up on trying to explain, "Life here can be quite confusing at times. Things aren't all that ideal here." He hadn't really thought about it but he did realize now that to someone else who was unfamiliar with how things sometimes happened would possibly be slightly confused whenever told how he was at times. "I'm sure you'll understand eventually one day."

"It's hard to be patient," the girl told him with a sigh. "I feel so behind all the time. I look seventeen, but I've only been alive for the past four years. The only comfort I have is that physically speaking I can't age until a decision is made as to whether I'll be a god, in which I'll never age, or a mortal, and then I'll begin to age normally. So, relatively speaking, I have a couple of years to learn how to be human." Narcissa continued to play with her braid as she spoke. It was a habit of hers, when she was feeling moody or depressed.

Entering the area, Ajaya takes notice to those around her. It seems that most of the people had cleared out. leaving a few stragglers behind. Her headphones still attached to her ears, and her sketchbook in hand, she settles into a free bench to wait for her idiot brother. Dislodging the pencil trapped in the spiral of the sketchbook, she flips through the pages for a blank bit of paper. He better hurry his lazy butt. I'm not going to wait forever. and with that, she begins the rapid hand motions involved in sketching.

Leon shrugged, "Well I'm sure that you'll find what you want in time. Just don't seem to desperate for guys to like you. You don't want to seem too longing and it will freak some people out." He knew that the need for someone to love her could cause some girls to practically act like idiots when they went guy hunting and caused some guys to never go around said girls again.

Tilting her head to the side in confusion, Narcissa said, "Why would I seem desperate? I don't want to be stuck with just anyone for the rest of my life. Why do you think I'm here rather than up there?" She knew she had absolutely no knowledge of courtship rituals. However, it only made sense to wait patiently for the right person, at least in her mind.
