The eighteen year old walked off the boat, using his cane to prevent him from falling off the ramp, ignoring the offers for help from other passengers. It was irritating, yeah people were just trying to help, but to him it just felt like people were pitying him due to his blindness. And let's be honest, they probably were, and it pissed him off. He doesn't want anybodies' pity or help, just cause he can't see doesn't make him any less capable of taking care of himself. Maybe the clinical depression does, but we won't talk about that. This was one of the better days, not feeling too crappy (not anymore then he always feels), his elder sister urged him to get out there and socialize with people. Maybe do a mission or two. You think with how long the two of them have been adoptive siblings, she wouldn't force him to get out and about. Though I guess she is just trying to help his mental state, not really accounting for his usual antisocial behavior.
So here he was on Crescent Island, going to assist a lower ranking mage one a mission. He wasn't to eager to get there and have to deal with more people, so he took his sweet time to get there. Probably could've gotten there in less then twenty minutes due to having quite the long stride he automatically has due to being seven feet tall, but he decided against it. Though sadly, he had to eventually arrive. Taking a deep breath as he stepped in front of the house he was told to go to, he realized it in a large sigh. Then he reached up his hand and knocked on the door, gripping his walking stick with his artificial hand. Once he did he was pulled inside forcefully by some guy, he guessed his client for this mission, but by being pulled inside he slammed his head on the top of the door frame. He grunted, his height was more of a curse then it was a blessing. Though with how many times he ran his head into door frames, especially since he has been blind, he has gotten used to it. It was still rather annoying.
Lucius continued to get forcefully moved around, tempted to hurt the man due to what he thought to be unnecessary touching, he decided against it. He was trying to prevent people from figuring out that he was a Coming Storm, so causing unneeded violence may ruin that. I suppose he might be being overly cautious though. Ignoring his anger, he did actually hear the explanation from the scientist. Then they were pushed out of the house, well wasn't this great. He looked down in the direction of the thirteen year old as he spoke. Letting out a sigh he switched his cane to his other hand "If you must call me anything, refer to me a Fie. Now let's get this over with" he said to the tween, using one of his aliases, because why not?

He took the air lacrima from him and ate it after seeing that the kid wasn't suffering at all from it. Though before hopping into the clear waters, he stripped down. Taking off his sunglasses, hat, hoodie, shirt, shoes and pants, wearing some black spandex underneath all his layers of black clothing. He wasn't going to try and swim with all of that thick clothing on top of him, weighing him down. Though he was going to take his cane, it could still be useful underwater. Wonder how this was going to work out, he hasn't swam since being blind, so hopefully it wouldn't be to hard. He gently walked into the shallow part of the water, feeling around with his cane. It took a bit for him to actually get it so he wasn't touching the bottom with his feet. He dunked his head underneath the clear waves, getting his long braided black hair soaked.
The sound was muffled under the water, but he could still hear. Even better then other people cause of his enhanced senses. He heard something coming towards them, but he decided not to bother with it yet. He listened to the just barely teenager boss him around, which irritated him, he hated it when people bossed him around. Especially these over proclaimed smart kids. Though I guess he couldn't say much, he was really smart at that age also, and still is a genius. He decided he was just going to go along and do his own thing, it's always fun to mess with kids or people in general. So instead of listening to the child and using his magic, he just unsheathed his sword that was concealed within his cane. Just to spite the child, cause why not? And when he heard the confused and angry stingray come towards him, he swung his sword. Though it was harder to move underwater he did hit it before it could move, then he stabbed into and twisted his blade, no doubt killing the creature.

Little did the young boy know, that he didn't give a crap about how old he was. He just wasn't one to easily listen to people's orders, if listen to them at all. He doesn't like them, so why should he listen to them? Unless there is something in it for him, or if it was his elder sister then maybe he would, but otherwise, good luck. He used to try and act like a charming and nice young man that loved people and always tried to go out of his way to help and compliment them. But after becoming blind, along with some other details I'll gloss over for now, he doesn't care. He just wants to be locked up in his room all alone for nobody to bother him ever, just to curl up in a ball in silence and darkness, just waiting for death to creep in and take him over. But he couldn't, not with his caring sister who forced him to socialize and get out of the house more. So I guess that explains why he is here, sorry I'm repeating myself, continuing on.
"It's fine" he grumbled in response to the thirteen year old's apology to him, probably barely possible to tell what he said under the clear waves. Letting out a sigh he pushed some of his long black hair out of his face, letting flow behind him. He almost lost himself in his chaos of thoughts, it was hard to concentrate on anything with out his thoughts were. Constantly either lowering his self-esteem, telling him to go home and go to sleep, drown himself or go on a massacre. Schizophrenic thoughts like that can really shorten one's attention span, even Lucius' (or Fie, whatever you want to call him), who used to be really good at focusing on his tasks. Being rather similar to his current job partner, Ejji, in that fact that they both have a talent for strategizing and stuff of the sort. Though the dark mage seemed to have lost his touch through this past year. Depression and other mental problems has been really affecting the blind assassin.
Listening to the boy, he pondered a reply then spoke "I can't promise anything" he said simply, his words loud and clear enough to understand through the water, which was trying to disrupt their communication, well with voices and noise at least. He wasn't in the mood to try and cooperate with people, he just wanted to get this over with, and he wasn't going to do it by being bossed around. He looked when he heard something approaching, not that he could see it. With his sword in one hand and it's sheath in the other he swam towards the sounds. "Can't you just leave us alone?" the assassin muttered. And out from different directions, approached a bunch of confused and irritated spotted stingrays. The eighteen year old grunted in displeasure, waiting for a couple to try and ram him before quickly moving himself out of the way. Ending it them headbutting each other, then he stabbed one from underneath it and hit other one with it. "You could help you know" Lucius said to Ejji.
