Damian walked across the park lawn to the baordwalk as he had jsut left hsi house making sure the Julian went to school and the othertwo made it out safely as well. He ahd to start hsi own job now, not the one he uses as a cover story. It was witch hunting season and he new that it would be a while befor ehe coudl ever get inside the school that teaches witches. It is blocked and secured from any threats, but he had to have some way to get close to at least one of them. He was dressed in casual blue jeans and a black V-neck. Wearing his sunglasses to block out the burnign rays form hsi eyes he wanted to be on top fo thngs today. Witch Hunters ould sense magic when it wa sbeign sued and sometimes if pwoerful enoguh it coudl be tasted int eh air or sene in the aura of a witch or warlock. His goal was to find a witch ro warlock and get clsoe to them. Keeping hsi background a secret and eventually getting clsoe enough to them so they start reveallign all their secrets. Making his wya to a half occupied bench he sits down unable to detect any magic int hsi person givne the breeze was carrying it off so he felt safe enoguh here as he observed passersby. He unfolds a newspaper and appears to be reading it, btu no one coudl tell ebhidn those glasses.

Damian smeleld the sweet breeze that hit him, but he still couldn't catch the guys scent, not yet but eventualyl the col river reezes would cease. As a stronger breeze hit the bench hsi paper was jerked from his hands and he downs his head in frustration as he stands t g play fetch as it seemed to simply swirl for a bit att eh guy befor ehim. "Sorry." He says leaning over to grba it before it swirls out fo hsi reach by a few inches and Damian trips falling face first into the guys lap. He stands up straightening himself, thankful for a dark complexion so no one coudl see him blushing. "Sorry. Relaly..." Was all he coudl manage as he stands avoiding eye contact as hsi sunglasses fell off onto the the ground at the guys feet.

((okay))
damian looked wide eyed at the guy reaching to take the paper form hsm and the sunglasses, "So what was shown on the news was correct? I mean you area witch...warlcok...I mena it's true?" He tried sounding even more shocked than what he was. He had to find one and this whole time by fate he was drawn to this one particular. "So is it true? I mean abotu the school for girls?"

((They do but few actually beleive in it...lol it is like revealing gay marriage people know it exist but there is a larger number who fail to acknowledge it ebcuase it goes agaisnt their beliefs.))

Damian half glares a tthe stupid warlcok. Then restraightens himself. He could see that a straight guy would be here with his girlfriend...only a gay guy would come out on a beautiful day to the boardwalk to read a book. this could work to hsi advantage in a number of ways, given he was a cute guy it coudl work. "I'm damian by the way. "He syas not dairng to hodl his hand out as he palces hsi glasses back on his face. "Me and my family jsut moved her, by family I mean my three younger brothers and myself. Sorry to continue beign a bother, but would you like to go out sometime?" He asks kindly.

Damian smirks, "My brothers are very capable of handling themselves and so am I. I figured the only way to get know new people is by putting yourself out there for new peopleto meet. Without that how else would we know anybody outside of out families. "He offers chamringly. "All I'jm askignfor a is a coffee, as friends...acquaintances...I suppose I shoudl just go since oyu would rather blow people off all of the time. Sorry for bothering you agian. "He apologizes before downing hsi head lgihtly and turnigna dn straightening hsi figure as if hding emotions of half hearted pain. He didn't really walks away so much as jsut turn to the railing of the boardwalk and look over the waters rtkaing int he breeze.

Damian smirks dangerously almsot happy with hismelf. this guy was hot and he hoped he was at least bi. He followed cassually behind until he met up at hsi side, "So how long have you lived here? "He asks trying to keep the conversation interesting. He felt like gettign clsoe to this guy in a differnt way than jsut using him were eh human, but he was a follower of the man in black and that was not going to do.

Damian loved the smell of the cafe and then he relaized what the guy jsut asked, "Well, I raised my brothers most of their lvies,...we each have differnt fathers and our mother died of cancer without telling us she had it. When I became of age I wanted ot move far as possible form California and thsi palce seemed adequate enough." he explains without shairngtoo many details as to who his mother was and hsi personal father.

((gtg be on tomorrow for a bit))
Damian smiles, "well, We arrived about two weeks ago and haven't been here long. i made two of my brothers get jobs while my youngest is being pushed throguh school.
Damian smirks charmingly, "You seem like a nice guy. Tell you what the cafe is my treat...i mena i did distrub your peace anyway by accident of the wind...So do you ahve any sisters or brothers?" He asks lightly. "Sorry to sound like I'm prying..after this small evening date I'm sure you won't contact em again." He says palinly as he nods for the waitress to come back.."I'l have a decafe mocha." He says kindly. He raises hsi sunglases to his head. "So, um before oyu do run off and forget about me, jsut in case...your own choice...my number." He says pulling out a card with hsi number printed across it and hsi full name. He sildes it into the cover of his book.

Myles nodded in understanding, having had to push his own sister to continue with school even though she didn't exactly enjoy it sometimes, due to some unsavoury people lurking around. He wondered what part this guy found nice. In fact he wasn't in the best of moods, so it made him question this guys judgement. "Much appreciated. I have a sister." He told him, not that telling him would be a problem, he'd crush anyone who got close to his sister, thank god she wasn't involved with someone. Who said this was a date? He wondered as watched him slipping him a card. Mind reading much. Looking to the waitress he ordered a black coffee with loads of sugar. The card floated up and out of the cover and into his hand, reading it casually. "Interesting. You sure are persistent for a stranger." Showing the barest hint of a smirk, slipping the card back into the cover he leaned back in his chair. "So what do you do for a living or have you not found a job yet?"
Damian smirks rather palyfully leanign back as well. "I work as the local highschool swim coach and the local pool lifeguard. I keep our boat near by at the docks. My and my brothers have always lvoed beingout on thewater and each of us in school were champion swimmers. I am jsut pushing my little brother to do the same to keep himoff the streets. As I hear this palce isn't much differen't form San Diego and has pleanty of drug traffic as well." He adds palnly. He was actualy happy Myles kept his card. He woudl reallly enjoy a more formal date with him, but judging by his persona he didn't fully seem interested and spoke as if this were soemthing to pass time. Which was completely fine by Damian, but were Myles not a warlcok he would be even more interested int his date.

Damian smirks lightly, "Well, we didn't exactly come her with anything but the clothes on our backs. WE have enough money to take care of things, but we are starting from scratch." He explains kindly as he takes the card. "Do you own the place?" He asked seeing his name on the card but the place was called Doug's it made little to no sense to him unless a previous owner gave it over or sold it to him and he liked the name. He looks into Myles eyes for a moment as if studying his words. He really liked the guy and hated that one day he would probably have to die, but in the mean time it would seem nice to get t know somebody.

((sorry it's taking so long I'm cooking))
damian frowns, "What boat house? I don't live in a boat I own one...he laughs lightly." He smirks kindly, "Well, in San Diego we also have one of the last and alrgest Hutner societies apparently, big thing ont he news about it." He says palinly. "I haven't seen any until now, but aroudn ehre i can't tell who is a street performer and who is the real deal. With all these Marie Laveau's no one knows who the real deal is." He had no clue as to the difference between Witchcraft and Voodoo given it is only big around here Voodoo is the only real current competition to witchcraft. Damian simply figured it was jsut witches saying voodoo to keep a cover up.

Myles nods in a cleaner understanding of the situation, but he thought the guy had implied he'd lived in a boat. Oh well. "I see, well I'm sure Marie Laveau is someone using that to hr advantage when it comes to fans of hers." He murmured, frowning at the idea of hunters. He might not like witches himself but he didn't understand the whole killing any and every witch and warlock that turned up. His sister was a witch but she is perfectly harmless, not that he didn't feel bad about it. "Thankfully there aren't many hunters around here to be stupid enough to stand up to a witch or warlock, but when a fight does break out you don't want to be collateral damage." He sighed, shaking his head. "I don't understand hunters." He muttered.
((lol I'm making sure my kid, Jayden has all his meals by six.))
Damian smirks, "Yeah, I do suppose hunters are complex in how they work with only one gola in mind. I expect it is like a religious practice for them." He says innocently. The waitress brigns the tab and Damian pulls out his wallet. He sets the money on it, plus a twenty dollar tip. "Well this was fun...I'm sure you have better things to get to." He says not wanting to cut the get to gether short, but he figured the conversation was growing sour for Myles.

Damian half hoped he wouldn't call or message him, but deep he really did want him to call. It wasn't the fact he was a warlock, but somehow whether or not chemistry existed he was really wanting to get to know this guy. him being a warlock was what made him not want him to call. He figured the uy was feeling annoyed by him enough, but he really liked him and him leaving his card with Damian could have meant two different thins. One, he was wanting to get to know him better and possibly met up again. Two, he was just looking to get the word out about his business.
Damian stands from his seat and moves out of he café looking in either direction to see where he went, but had lost sightof him wth no chance of catching up. He turned deciding he should best go home.

Julian figured his brother was off today so he would be shopping or at home in his study where he spends most of his off time. He had been dropped off at school only having started a few days ago because he was busy helping his brothers pick things out for the new house. Now being settled in he had to start school again and he didn't feel like it given he was being picked on already. Coming to the boardwalk was his safest bet. No one was around with so many working al of the time he had a bit of alone time and with hi hand over the rails he tried forming a small ball of wind in his hand playing catch from one hand to the other with it.

Julian felt like eyes were on him and he knew no one could see him tossing the ball of air. He turns looking over seeing a girl glance up and down between him and a sketch pad. He opens his hands to stop the wind but as he does the small ball twist and turn into a larger one blowing toward the girl that was looking at him. It was like a miniature storm meant for her and he didn't even mean for it to be after her. He quickly runs at her as the swirling ball hits the ground and grows. He leaps past it as it rips away at the ground like a bulldozer. Knocking her out of it's path as it disintegrates where she was standing. He found himself on her and his shirt was torn from catching a gaze from he wind. His bare abs reveale through the alrge cut. "Shit! Sorry...it was coming at you." He was hoping he could paly it off as some freak weather. Have y ever seen anything like that before?" He asks casually trying t make it sound convincing enough. He moves off of top of her and picks up her pencila nd not pad handing it back to her. "I'm sorry but it was coming at you."

Julian was taken back as she spoke as if she saw what e had been doing with the winds..."Wait, what? I don't know what you're talking about. I mean it was just the wind and it was some freak weather. All I did was try to save you from what looked like something dangerous." He had no idea what else to say but to stick to his story. He liked how the girl spoke casually of it but it made him uncomfortable like she knew what he was. He didn't even know what he was and he wasn't about to tell any strangers much less his brothers. "The only bit of control I needed was my landing when trying to save you from the whirlwind." He explains trying to convince himself more so than her.

Julian looks at her oddly as he moves to sit down. He didn't really know why but he felt compelled to obey her as she spoke. Then there was a name of a place that sounded so familiar to him. "Miss who's Academy?" He had heard the name before but never directly, perhaps in a dream. How something forma dream truly existed was beyond him.
He sits beside her his chest looking pretty bad off. "I jsut go to the local high school....not some academy owned by a French lady." He explains. "I'm taking french thouhg, but my teacher is more American than either of us." he tries joking and at hsi lgiht laugh the pain finally hit hima s his adrenaline came to a halt. He moves to grip his chest as he winced but the touch hurt even more as he hisses a bit. Looking down he saw the large cut in hsi shirt and his chest looked like a blunt knife scraped across him five thousand times back and forth. It was like a rug burn mixed with a pavement burn. He was bleeding a little bit, but the thought didn't help.

He was bleeding a little bit, but the thought didn't help.

Julian nods slightly and lays his head down in her lap. He felt like he had known her for ages as if he had dreamed about her. "Yeah, well..I don't beleive in the whole witchcraft thing. I mean I can't do things like that no one can. It sounds like som school for wiccans who call themselves witches and warlocks. I didn't do anytihng like that. "He says again. He was frightened of hsi own power,but she seemed ot come up with an explanation rather quickly for a fake story. He had never heard of witches actually existing and would people not be aware of school who teaches it?

Julian laughs lightly. "Wow, so you are a telekinetic?" He asked in amusement. Watching ehr fix him up kind of soothed him. Deep down he didn't feel sexual attraction to women, but he would never tell. He was allured by her. He lvoed the feeling of being cared for by a gentle womans touch. She was very attractive and she relaxed himso easily. he really liked this feeling and seemed to almsot feel as if he shoudln't be afraid anymore. "So how does one get into this academy?" He asked kindly.

Julian smiles charmingly leaning up with a nod, "that sound sgreat, but what do i say to my brothers...I'm a warlock? I mena I live with them and I doubt any of them have special gifts like that." He syas still trying to keep an open mind about it all. He was half frightful what would be thought of him. Then he realized it was gettign extremely dark he had only arrived him moments ago, but he left shcool hours ago. His brothers would kick his ass if they knew he had skipped all day and stayed out all day as well. He stands for a moment and takes off hsi jacket and then his shirt. He then tosses his shirt in a trash bin and then pulsl his jacket back on, "thanks by the way." He says smiling.
((When is myles coming in? Oh and some real heated drama will be stirring soon, Mathew Goode is out to stop Julian form finding out abotu the shcool becuase hsi older brother is a hunter. This shoudl eb interesting.))

Orlaith pondered his question for a moment not sure what the correct answer would be. "Well I'm not sure. It's up to you really. I mean if you don't feel comfortable telling them until you have more control then that is fine. Or if you'd feel better telling them now that is also fine. I'm not the best at giving advise." She grinned sheepishly as she checked her watch. "I know we've only just met but I can come with you if you want some support." She offered. "The only place you are going is back to school." Myles interrupted, arms crossed as he glanced at the boy who appeared half naked. Orlaith nearly winced as she stood up. "Myles ... I didn't know you were here." She said innocently, knowing she'd been busted. "I'm hoping this boy doesn't have a death wish." He muttered. Putting up her hands in a gesture of peace she took her position in front of her brother. "Don't be like that. He's innocent so stop glaring, it's unbecoming of you." She told him with a sigh. "Apologies this is my brother, he has a knight complex." She smiled at Julian. Myles kept glaring but only slightly relaxed. "And yes of course I'm going back to school, but ... as I was saying to ... Um I'm sorry what is your name?" She asked Julian.
"Julian" He says quickly looking over the guy ebfore him and he felt even more drawn to this guy. He was very attractive, but as always he would never admit it. As far as anyone hwo knows him thinks he is a complete heterosexual. He has had sex with girls beofre, but he is ot attracted to them the wya he is guys and he jsut finds girls to be a substitute for the better thing. He had to keep the show going after all. "Hell, so...I'm Julian...I mena...your sister here helped me after a small fatality. She informed me a bit more about myself...things I never knew." He tries for small tlak.
