The Academy of Mystical Beings discussion

((you know, grounds. forests, fields, etc. *shrugs*))

Shia walked around deep in thought.

Nicandro flitted down to the grounds, pacing back and forth.

Shia saw Nicandro and went up to him."hey.."he said

"Hm?" Nicandro looked up. "Oh, hey," he nodded, still pacing.

Shia leaned against a tree."something on your mind?"

"The past forever plays on my mind, it's tune sweet and sorrowful," Nicandro answered, pausing to look at him. "But now the past has caught up and the melody has become more fierce and painful than ever before."

"tell me about it."Shia said rubbing his head."love is a weight to carry and a gift. More like a curse for me. So what's happened?"

((Aww did.shia leave the attic?! *facepalm*))

((no...I'm cheating..shhh))

"Twenty years ago I met a girl; eighteen years ago we had a daughter; seventeen years, a son," Nicandro stated. "Then, fifteen years ago an 'accident' happened that caused her to hate me. She sent me away. I tell myself that I didn't leave, because I didn't want to go. I tell myself that it's not my fault, even though if I had only been there things would have been different," he sighed. "To add to it, Cameron said that I wasn't to mix or give my blood. A little too late, but still. But she won't tell me why. Now my kids have found me and I don't know what to do."
Somehow, speaking like this, it was easier for him to say than before when speaking to Cameron; but it may be due to having already said it once.

((he doesn't know about Drusus))

((Okay))

((ditto, Nico's also at the main mansion confronting Drusus))

((so she was pregnant with Drusus when he left of something?))

Shia looked at him, like really looked at him."what accident?"he asked."I mean not to pry but it makes me feel like I'm not the only one fucking things up. I suggest not being like me and actually confronting your kids."he said"and what about your blood? cause you did shove it down my throat.."

((yeah *nods*
neither knew until after he had gone))

"A jealous accident," Nicandro answered coldly, deep loathing in his voice. "Some other guy liked her and found a way to take her from me," he snarled. "And I don't know. I just did as Cameron said at the time, go ask her. Not that it'll do much good as no one seems to understand half of what she says."

((that is very sad..))

((dude this is just like shia's past..weird))

"I usually just tune her out."Shia said chuckling darkly."I'm sorry to hear that....I mean I know what its like. To lose someone you could have saved, if only you could rewrite the past.."

((ik...))

((ik, i realised that after i thought of it, and was like damn!! but in this one there is no death and more kids XP ))

"Aye, but if I were to rewrite it, then I doubt that I would be here now," Nicandro replied. "No, things were meant to be as they were and that is how they shall stay. So long as Mia is happy, than I shall try to be."

((hahaha guess more life is better :P))

Shia sighed."such a romantic."he mumbled."Least you only have one girl to worry about."

((indeed :)
Gtg real soon, got maybe 10-15 mins :( ))

"The whole 'Amele/Aryll' situation, how's that going?" Nicandro asked.

Shia closed his eyes, his head was spinning again."terrible..I mean I love them both. are you going to talk to your kids soon?"he asked wanting to change the subject.

((awww..okay))

"Probably," Nicandro nodded.

Shia nodded."well good luck. Word of advice don't hurt them."

"I wouldn't ever harm children," Nicandro said quietly.

Shia winced."I hate how nice you all are.."

"Only because I want my children treated right," Nicandro stated. "And it's only really them that I am nice to, well, all the time to at any rate," he shrugged.

"u-huh."Shia said folding his arms."have you met the siblings that just arrived?"

"No, I was a bit preoccupied with Cameron shouting at me," Nicandro shook his head.

Shia smirked."heard she was going some where?"

"I don't know," Nicandro shrugged. "She left her suitcases, yelled at me and then I left her," he cursed himself mentally. "I could have used a better word choice," he muttered.

"live and learn."Shia said shrugging."so about your blood, do you think its a good or bad thing?"

"Well I'm hoping good," Nicandro answered. "But knowing this family, I may air on the side of caution and say bad. What do you think?"

Shia cringed."yeah...well I wish it has some magical healing ability."

"Never know, it might do," Nicandro shrugged. "I pretty much came back from the dead, didn't I?" He laughed dryly. "Why?" He looked at him curiously.

Shia waved him off."yeah how did you survive?"he asked.

((err... that's a very good question, and i'm still not sure on the answer...
how does this sound... O.o ))

"It's not all about being able to heal yourself," Nicandro told him. "That power can work both ways."

((i'm trying to keep it half in the shadows while i work it out ;) ))

Shia narrowed his eyes on him."is your ass filled with secrets or something?"

((right-o!))

"Well I'm not exactly going to give the information easily in case a similar events occurs to me again!" Nicandro said crossly. "And I'm not the only one with secrets, am I?" He looked at Shia pointedly.

Shia patted his back, smiling wickedly."you have only brushed the surface."

"Precisely," Nicandro grinned. "So what's new with you?"

Tarlar ~ Being Me... wrote: ""Precisely," Nicandro grinned. "So what's new with you?""

"nothing, the usual. Fighting my own personal demons, surviving and avoiding my problems you?"SHia asked.

"Not much, just trying to understand our mess of a family," Nicandro shrugged.

Shia nodded."its weird talking to you, usually were biting eachotehrs necks."

"Maybe it's time to put away the old and try out the new," Nicandro nodded in agreement.

He smiled."yeah alright, I'll save the beating up for Jonah."

"I'm sure he'll look forward to it," Nicandro laughed.

He nodded."he always does. so what do you think about everyone? have a favorite or worst?"

"Eh, they all seem a much of a muchness really," Nicandro shrugged. "You don't seem as bad as they all say you are."

"muchness?" Shia said raising an eyebrow." I'm not? Trust me you have no idea."

"Figure of speech," Nicandro shook his head. "No, I don't doubt that you can't be, more that, there seem to be good points to you that they over-look or just don't mention."

Shia sighed." I don't really see any in me...
