Trust each other in the hardest of times [Kanix Laspor & Mitsuo]

Mitsuo was beginning to get the hang of being around the guild hall. Even though it was always busy he had begun to come to terms with the fact that these people were his new family, and that had eased his anxiety quite sufficiently. He ran his fingers through his messy hair and sighed softly and contently. The last job he had done was still bothering him a little bit, the dark wizard he had fought wouldn't give in and Mitsuo had to go further than he really wanted to in order to defeat him. He walked up to the bar and grabbed a cup of green tea, looking to find someone whom he hadn't spoken with before so that he could get to know more people in the guild.

Mitsuo hadn't been in the guild long, but he had also only met about three people from it. One of those people was the guild master, Heero, who introduced him to it on his first day in the guild and his exceed who had stamped his hand. Another was Kazyto who he had formed a team with and the two of them had gone on a couple of jobs together. He liked Kaz quite a bit and had enjoyed the times they had spent working together. He was looking forward to meeting more Fairy Tail members.

As he looked across the hall he saw a woman sitting alone, the only one who seemed to be alone at the moment. He decided he would walk towards her and try to talk to her. "Excuse me, miss? My name is Mitsuo, I'm fairly new to the guild. Do you mind if I take a seat with you?" He smiled warmly at her, hoping that he would be well received. He crossed his arms over his chest, his right hand with his guild mark visible as he had become accustomed to doing since he had been made a member of the guild, something that he was extremely proud of.

It didn't take Mitsuo very long to notice that the girl was blind, smiling once more as she offered him the seat. The blank look was somewhat off putting at first, but he didn't let it bother him. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to be missing one of your senses, but he imagined that her other senses worked overtime to compensate for her sight. He thanked her and sat down, taking a sip of his tea and listening to her words, deciding not to ask about her old guild but instead saying, "Well I'm glad I'm not the only new one around here. It seems like everyone knows each other so well." He may have sounded a little sad when he said this, but in reality he was quite happy about how the guild seemed to be so close. The environment was so inviting and it really felt like a family.

When she asked if she could touch her face, Mitsuo took her hands in his and brought them towards his face so that she could do so. "Of course, I don't mind at all. What's your name by the way?" He asked her, committing her face to memory so he would never forget her. As he sat there and she "looked him over" in the way that she could, he was examining her as well, quite curious as to what her magic was or where she had come from. He would love to see what kind of magic a blind girl uses, and how she sees in battle. It was something that he was completely fascinated by as someone who loved to learn other people's abilities and add them to his potential repertoire.

When the girl giggled, Mitsuo smiled, assuming she felt the smile as she ran her fingers over his lips. She was very gentle, Mitsuo knowing that she wanted to find out what he looked like through feeling his features. He had no idea what it would be like to do something like that, somewhat curious but having no interest in asking such an odd question. He decided instead that he would simply reply to her. "The family aspect is why I'm here as well, though I was never with another guild. This is my first, and hopefully only, guild." He chuckled softly and waited until she removed her hands from his face in order to take a sip of his green tea, letting the taste roll over his thumb before he swallowed it.

The next things that she said would shake the young Fairy Tail wizard, as he wasn't expecting anyone to know these things. The first thing she said was reassuring, but at the same time it was a nagging feeling that he always had, and something that he was always afraid of. She somehow seemed to know that he thought, quite often, of how much he wanted to be useful, and how afraid he was of failure. After this she would take a pause, Mitsuo taking another sip of his tea, trying to keep himself relaxed as she would continue, introducing herself. Mitsuo knew that fear of failure was a common one, but what she said next was something that nobody knew.

She addressed the fact that he was afraid of dying alone, and it wasn't just fleeting, it was as though she knew without a doubt that he was afraid of it. He clearly would have a shocked expression on his face, though she wouldn't be able to see it, so he wasn't too worried about it. As she stopped speaking he smiled, her words, while shocking, were extremely comforting. It was a big deal havimg someone tell you exactly what you needed to hear. "Thank you Kanix..." His voice broke slightly, but he attempted to keep it steady. "I don't care about your past, all I care about is the fact that you are a Fairy Tail wizard, which means you're family. Whatever you did in the past is in the past..." As he looked back at her he tried to remember if he had heard of magics that would allow a wizard to know a target's fears, assuming that they existed but never having read about them. It was truly a shocking thing to behold.

"What kind of magic do you use Kanix, if you don't mind me asking? I've never heard of an ability like the one you seem to have."

"Well they can send who they will. I'll protect you, and so will the rest of us." Mitsuo would take another sip of his tea. He had heard of the reputation of Basilisk Fang, and the types of things that dark guilds like them did. It made him sick, and it was another part of the reason he had decided to join a guild like Fairy Tail. He wanted to help Fiore and he wanted to make sure that guilds like Basilisk Fang couldn't hurt anyone. He worked on becoming more powerful each day, trying to learn stronger magic so he could protect those who he cared about, his family, people like Kanix. "And we would never turn you in, anyone who would try would have to deal with Fairy Tail."

The girls words had made him a little upset, believing that everyone deserved a chance at redemption, and that she clearly was trying that with Fairy Tail. When she explained her magic to him it didn't necessarily explain the way that she was able to know what she did about him, and her explination for that wasn't overly satisfying either, though he wouldn't press about it, deciding that it wasn't overly important. "Future sight sounds extremely useful, though a tad dangerous perhaps." He took another sip of his tea, his thumb and forefinger on his right hand moving up to his face rubbing his temples. She was interesting for sure, a curious individual and someone he was happy to be able to learn something about.

"You know," he chuckled softly, "I'm realizing that I keep speaking for Fairy Tail without having been here very long. But based on our reputation as a guild, I have confidence that everything I'm saying is true."

Her words kind of backed up his thoughts as Mitsuo intently listened to what she had to say. Her magic sounded like a curse moreso than a gift and he couldn't possibly begin to imagine what it would be like to feel someone die. "That sounds horrible," he would whisper quietly under his breath. The magic that he had learned had its downsides as well, though not nearly as bad. His memory was something that could be considered a curse sometimes, as there were definately things that he wished he could forget, such as the sight of broken and beaten children in the street, or the vision of his parents dead in front of him. He wasn't sure if he wanted to tell her this, or honestly if she already knew about it. He figured it was something that she might have just known, but he had no idea about how her magic worked. Mental magics were ones that he could never figure out.

As the conversation turned towards fairy tail and its morals persay, he noticed that she was smiling. She told him about the things that he had always assumed about Fairy Tail, and the reasons he had joined them in the first place. "That is why I joined Fairy Tail, to protect people. And because I also believe that everyone deserves a shot at redemption. I know that some people do bad things, but that doesn't make them bad people at their core. They're just people, and they can all be saved and shown the right way." He took another sip of his tea. "I'm curious, what do you like to drink? I love tea, it's my absolute favorite thing in the world." He figured that turning the conversation away from magic and the guild may be a good idea, as he wanted to get to know a little more about Kanix, but also didn't want to keep bringing up the memories of dark things that had happened in her past.
