Mystical Meeting (Poko and Jiyu)

Light shone through the light pink petals down in a hypnotic dance through the forest of Sakuramori a place protected by the guild Black Rose an sakura filled woods which few outsiders dared venture into. With the Guildhall still under reconstruction? Jiyu preferred to stay in places like this sacred forest, the icy expanse of Vintermyr or within her own realm of Solace, to isolate herself somewhere it was less likely she could accidentally harm another person. Most mages of her rank had the benefit of having been able to spend years practicing the control of their abilities, but the magic she spent years perfecting was not really around anymore, instead, she was left with a new form of magic still flailing as she learned to control everything that came alongside it. Waking once more she discovered she had dissolved into her elemental form while slumbered, blowing through the forest with every breeze unable to be seen as she was just another part of the wind. Eventually? She remembered how to reconstruct her body.

Of course, she messed up and knew that she hadn't controlled her reconstruction perfectly because looking down she saw her outfit was pink and fuschia hair flew into her vision. Apparently? Her reconstruction had taken advantage of things around Sakuramori instead of building her to be as she preferred. "At least my body is the same." anyone who knew her would hopefully be able to realize she was the same person from the shape of her. Briefly facepalming the female closed her eyes listening to the whispers of the wind around her, taking comfort in the fact she could hear it so much more clearly than ever before. "Maybe I'll try to change the coloration when I check on the town." she reasoned that if forming herself within Sakuramori turned her pink, then maybe if she simply exchanged some of her wind formed body for the wind within rose garden, she would regain her normal coloration.

"Now then, if I remember there's someone else in the forest, I should likely check that out first before heading in for the day." she could recall sensing someone else and now that she had formed her body the canine girl could smell the scent of a stranger within Sakuramori, to those outside of her own guild the forest could be dangerous so she had to check on the other girl.

Jiyu was great at tracking people down having the senses of a dog or maybe slightly sharper since she wasn't a mortal dog. Once she knew where the other was her own ability to merge with the wind was an instant form of transport. "Hey, you girl." her suave voice cut through the air as a whirlwind of things like petals, dust, and grass swirled above a branch several yards in front of where Poko was walking, the whirlwind dying down to reveal the form of the powerful mage. "Are you alright? Sakuramori can be a very dangerous place, normally people only come here to tame the dangerous monsters roaming the forest or take a spirit trial." and then Black Rose member's but it was the guilds job to protect this place just like with Vintermyr.  "I'm Jiyu Kazehime, part of the Black Rose guild, we're in charge of this places protection, so if you got lost I can lead you back out easily." she levitated down from the branch, floating about an inch above the ground still a few feet away from the blonde. "The forest has a natural ability to confuse one's sense of direction so it's nothing unusual if you are lost, and if you are lost then you're in danger as once someone becomes lost here the shades often target them to trap them within the forest forever." she explained the sisuation, tilting her head, curious as to why the girl was within Sakuramori. Of course, the woman before her could be one of the rare cases where someone outside of Black Rose was able to stick around the forest for an extended time without becoming lost or being attacked.

As the small creature bounded towards her, the wind user extended her hands slightly, seeming to move in a very similar little dance to what the familiar appeared to be performing. While Poko watched flabbergasted, the older woman would grin with this small giggle the wind seeming to play with everything from her clothing to the long pink hair flowing from her. Leaving her dance with the cabbit sort creature to simple swaying, pink eyes turned back towards the human girl whom she suspected of being lost within the forest without being aware of it. Jiyu was just glad she had found the wandering girl before one of the many shades occupying the woods had managed to find the other girl, she had already seen so many people they couldn't save due to partial fusion with a shade.

"Hmm? See Something Interesting?" there was a full-fledged seemingly entertained laugh as she noticed the grounded girl was attempting to not stare at her. Once more, she laughed, this time with one sleeve covering her mouth muffling the sound slightly. "It's quite alright" with those words she aimed to ruffle the top of the other girls head with another small giggle. "don't worry about staring it's nothing unusual for me" actually, Jiyu was rather adjusted to garnering the attention of other's for many reasons, even as a child in the village she had been the 'eyes on me' sort so to speak, after running away being able to keep eyes on her as if she was nothing unusual had been a valuable skill, now it was next to impossible to expect eyes to not be on her, after-all she wasn't just an S Class mage she was also an ace of Black Rose which was a pretty big and notable guild. "Honestly I'm rather used to being stared at by now actually. So don't fret over it." with that last comment both of her armed lifted so she could cover her mouth with both sleeves, laughing slightly once more. This kid was cute.

"The nearest town will be Rose Garden, come on take my hand, to be safe." her small clawed hand reached out with that comment, offering it to the other girl without looking directly at her. "All it would take is a second of absent mindedness to get separated and since you were briefly lost the shades are much more aware of you being here now, so they may try to attack us." If the other girl had taken her hand? Jiyu would start leading the way towards the exit that went back to Rose Garden, walking slowly with elfin ears twitching occasionally her head angled down slightly as her sight was useless anyway and the angle helped her make things out better in the 'crowded' forest. "Anywhere you need to go once we get back?" the question was brief, her head snapping up and looking in a certain direction as she sniffed clearly detecting something but then deeming it too far away to be a threat right now; However, she did pick up the pace slightly. Jiyu would prefer to not have to fight, as she still couldn't control her powers the best and didn't wish to accidentally hurt the girl she was 'protecting' at the moment.

A soft chuckle rose at the sight of the blonde trying to her embarrassment, bright pink eyes dancing softly as the mage stood there. Jiyu was rather happy that the younger girl seemed able to accept help easily in this case as it would have been undesirable to drag someone out forcefully or leave someone to be trapped forever by the shades. Once they really got moving, which was when the more powerful mage suspected beasts may be closing in on them, getting out of the forest suddenly seemed easy. Whereas Poko had been wandering for all that time? The 'fox like' woman seemed to know the place like the back of her hand! Thus before long they exited the forest and entered the city known as Rose Garden.

"Sure you don't need to go anywhere particular or to anything particular?" she spoke the comment stretching her hands outwards parts of her like hair, optics, clothing, and accessories suddenly seeming to be made of a fine dust for a few minutes. After a short period of time passed? The dust 'exploded' leaving the sight of long blue hair, aqua eyes and the typical blue themed outfit she often found herself in which was basically just a blue and grey version of the initial one poko had seen. "That's better, you'll have to forgive the appearance change, my appearance can largely be determined by where I manifest my body," she explained it somewhat, now levitating there about an inch above the ground, glancing around the area.
