Reparing a house

Mission:

Ian walked through magnolia town. He had the paper in his hand from the mission he was going to do with Ryo, ah ryo he still didn't knew what the feeling he had really was for him. He had never felt it before but it shouldn't be that super important if he didn't know what it was. Now he was thinking back about a day before. Ryo had agreed to form a team with him. He had the feeling that he had been overflown with joy, like he had fallen in a pure cloud of happines. He had been so afraid that he would have been turned down and that ryo would act cruel against him but that wasn't in any way the case. He was a super nice person and even thought they had just met before Ian knew he was going to get along with him super well. He felt a breeze come through his face as he kept walking following the directions on the paper as he thought back on earlier today. He remembered That he had placed a small not in an envelope and put it under the door of Ryo his room. In it was the job request and asking if he could come to a certain place. It was in a restaurant called: ''The fluffy kitten'' As he sat down and waited for Ryo to come.

It was pretty nice weather as he inhaled the fresh spring air. He was so glad winter had finally ended and that it was slowly becoming deeper spring. The temperature wasn't low it was pretty warm actually as he began to pull of his vest, his mind drifted back to what had happened yesterday and when ryo came to mind his heart began to beat faster. ''What is this feeling'' He said to himself as he placed his hand on his heart a bit irritated that he did not know what it was. Howeever he was glad that Ryo had joined saber. It was slowly getting more members and would become very strong if this continued.

Ryo made his way as quickly as he could to Magnolia town. He had delayed as he wanted to meet the new member of Sabertooth; Legacy, and now he was running late. This wasn't the best way to make a first impression and Ryo knew that, but he hoped that Ian would be understanding at least, and not yell at him too much. As Ryo thought about Ian he couldn't help but smile. Ian was a shy little thing, at least he seemed to be, but he was also sweet, and very polite. Ryo knew that if Ian was half as kind as he seemed to be then he would have no trouble being on a team with him. Also with Ian being the senior member of Sabertooth it worked out to Ryo's benefit to have him along as a partner. It was like a giant gamble once more. Ryo saw most everything in life as a giant gamble, and he loved gambling more than he loved his hat, and he loved his hat.

Ryo made his way through Magnolia only to spy Ian sitting in a very visible spot in a restaurant called "The Fluffy Kitten." Ryo wasn't sure why someone would name a restaurant in such a way, but that was hardly his business. He walked inside the workplace and set straight for Ian. He sat down across from him smiling widely as he took his hat off to be polite "Sorry about being late Ian." he said "I got caught up talking to a new member of the guild. His name's Marrick if I remember correctly. Anyway so what is this mission you got for us here?"

Ian was just sitting in the hot spring sun. They said that the weather would be even hotter today then usual and he thought if the work became too much he had to take of his shirt so he could cool of. He was just letting his mind drift away as he sat in the sun of the nice warm spring when he heard someone come closer. He opened his eyes and in front of him blocking the sun was a person he knew pretty well. He began to blush feriously for some reason and his heart began to beat faster as he could see ryo. ''Uh no problem'' He said shy while looking to his feet. ''Well let's go It's not far from here'' He said as he slowly walked up front not wanting to go to fast to give ryo the feeling he would be leaving him behind but not to slow cause he wanted to get there on time, while he was walking he kept blushing for an unknown reason cause ryo was behind him and he got that feeling back in his body again. Why didn't he know what it was. When they arrived they saw a house which needed some help. ''It is probably due to the storm we had a few nights ago, it didn't affect the guild hall since it was above it but no one was allowed to go down flying'' he said as an old man came out and began to explain what they needed to do. ''No problem'' Ian said as he smiled at the old man with kind eyes. The man walked back in and He turned to ryo beginning to blush again. ''Uh ryo would you mind and getting rid of the fallen tree limb, and the man said this will take a couple of days so uh, I got us a tent I hope you don't mind sleeping in the same bed since I only have a bed for two persons'' Ian said blushing even more and closed his eyes a bit afraid hoping ryo would not yell at him.

Ryo followed after Ian smiling and putting his hat back on his head. Working outside on a hot day like this Ryo was certainly glad of his large hat that was able to keep him much cooler than if he hadn't been wearing one. He watched Ian again with the same curiosity that he had earlier. He wasn't sure why Ian was even going out on missions with him, he always acted so strangely. Almost like he was shy around Ryo, and this didn't make much sense to him. Sure Ryo was new and everything, but he thought he had introduced himself as an all around nice guy. Still whatever the reason he'd just have to wait until Ian felt more comfortable around him.

As they arrived at the house Ryo looked and could see the damage that had been done. It was pretty substantial damage and just from the looks of things it would take a good effort to repair all the damage that had been done. He listened as Ian explained the job and he nodded his head taking off his coat and hanging it up on a nearby lawn chair. His suit vest today was a toxic green color, over an electric blue button up shirt. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and nodded his head lightly "Sure. I can handle that, but we should get this deck rebuilt before tomorrow. We have to treat it and that will take a long time. If you can go to the store and pick up the wood and treatment materials I can have this rather large limb removed by the time you get back." He noticed a saw and an ax both of which he was more than happy to have. He walked over and picked up the saw and went to work sawing the great tree limb into smaller sections so it would be easier to remove.

Ian blushed even more when he heard that Ryo had no problem with the sleeping in the own bed thing. Why was he blushing, it wasn't anything right? He thought as he nodded to ryo and walked towards the end of the street. He knew the wood store was here somewhere. Where was it? He kept looking around and wasn't sure where he could find it. He got the map of the city and looked at it trying to find the position of where the bakery should be, turned out that it was at the other end of magnolia. He sighed as he began to walk a bit quicker and took up his pace. If he wouldn't be quick it would be night when he got back. Finally at the beginning of the setting sun he arrived at the wood shop. He was happy to find out that the old man had placed the order for the wood. This way he would probably not get the wrong wood. He thanked the man and thought he would need to speed up.

When he was outside he jumped up as his magic circle appeared beneath him and he began to fly. This was much faster now he was able to quickly fly over the roofs instead of walking throught the streets and at almost sunset he arrived at the old man's place. ''I got the wood here ryo'' He said as he rubbed the back of his head shyly, and began to set the tent up for the night. He got it out of his bag that he had been carrying and it was pretty heavy but he didn't mind as he got all of the metalic poles and began to bend them so they fit in the tent. When the sun was almost down the tent had been set up as Ian went in to make the beds, soon they were done and he could see Ryo working. ''I will whip up something to eat'' Ian said as he began to get his coocking supply and began to cut some vegetables. He liked to cook and hoped he was good at it too. He was now getting the meat ready as it was sizzling into the pan before he put everything in the pot with water and let it boil as a very nice smell came over the area. It smelled pretty nice, it was a vegetable soup this was all he could make for now but he would do his best to learn much more in courses he would take. Finally it was then and he put his head out of the big tent. ''Ryo you coming dinner is ready'' He said as he waited for him to come.

Ryo was extremely grateful for the tools that the old man had at his disposal. He continued to saw through the great tree limb. Once he could he pulled out the ax and began to cut the branches and limb into even smaller pieces. It was mid afternoon when he finished with his assignment and with it finished the limb was now in several pieces. These pieces Ryo stacked for the old man near another wood pile on the outside of the chimney around the back of his house.

As Ryo walked back to the deck he carefully removed the broken boards, and pieces taking these back to the wood pile of the old man to give him even more wood to work with. Ryo had just finished this project when Ian arrived with the wood. He looked to Ian and nodded his head with a smile "You go ahead and cook while I finish the deck." He took the wood that Ian brought and began to shape it and cut it into the desired shape. He used these pieces and replaced the broken boards on the deck, and the broken railing as well. It took a long time to do, but he was finished when Ian called for dinner. Ryo smiled and walked over to the tent kicking off his boots before entering the tent and sitting down across from Ian "Thank you very much Ian. You've been a big help."

Ian had heard that would finish the deck as he would go further building on the deck. While he had been cutting the vegetables he began to feel a bit of guilt, like he was letting Ryo do all the work and that he was almost not doing anything. The only thing he had done was get some wood and cook. He would try to work harder tommorow so he could make up for what he had not done to help. They had come here to repair the stuff, and he didn't repair anything at all.

He could see ryo come in front of the tent and pull of his shoes. He blushed again even before he sat down in front of him and thanked him fo the soup he had made. He didn't feel like he did so much but he nodded, blushed a bit more and put some soup into a deep plate and placed it a spoon into it handing it to ryo as he had a bit of look of guilt on his face. ''Well uh I didn't do anything actually i just made the soup and get the wood, you are the one doing most of the work.'' He said as he looked away making sure he would not make eye contact with ryo as he rubbed his arm. He had done nothing now he thought about it and he wondered what ryo would say as his responds.

Ryo sat there and looked at Ian with a soft frown shaking his head "You have done plenty. You retrieved the wood that I needed in order to even attempt to finish the deck. Now that it is finished we can treat it, and that is one thing done. Also you put up this tent by yourself not asking any help from me, and you cooked us a meal to give us strength for the work that is still ahead tomorrow. Do not dismiss the value of what you have done so easily. Besides There is still plenty of work that needs to be done, and most likely will be done tomorrow. Do not sell yourself short so easily my friend." He said with a smile as he took off his hat and put it off to the side smoothing back his brown hair. He looked at Ian with his smile and then at the food his stomach growling softly so as to be completely audible, but he made no mention of his hunger, or desire to eat trying his best not to rush Ian into anything.

Ian smiled as he heard ryo say that he had done plenty and he was explaining that he got the stuff so ryo could work, put up the tent and make the food. Was this maybe teamwork in some way? He smiled and blushed even a bit brighter when he heard him say that and bowed down a bit too him. ''Thank you'' He said still a bit shy but he tried to came over like he was less shy. He then heard Ryo his stomach rumble and could see him look at the food. ''Oh I am so sorry'' He said as he filled the two plates with the soup and gave one of them to Ryo. ''Here you go, if you want i have some more salt and pepper with me, i meant it a bit like usual, so maybe you would like some more spice or salt on it'' Ian said as he slowly began to eat his food. He didn't know what kind of things Ryo liked in the food. He could be a spice guy or he could be someone who likes his food real salty.

It didn't take long for him to finish his food. ''If you are still hungry there is plenty, suit yourself to get some more if you want too'' Ian said to him as he got some water and put it in a little cup handing a clean cup and the water bottle to ryo. ''So uh how does Card magic work?'' He asked Ryo with a shy tone in his voice. He wasn't sure if he would be ok to ask that but he had never heard of the magic called 'Card magic' before. He wondered how it worked, if it just let cards light up to what was on it or that he could do combo's or other things with them.

Ryo very gratefully accepted the soup as it was given to him. I smelled delicious and he wasn't by any stretch of the imagination a picky eater. He quickly took it and a spoon and began to chow down. The work he had done worked up his appetite and he was all to grateful that someone could cook between the two of them. Ryo had several talents, but culinary arts had never been a part of his his of tricks. He finished his food with a great smile and upon hearing that he could have more Ryo wasn't shy about eating, but he made sure his portions were small in order to allow Ian to eat the lion's share of the meal after all the kid looked muscled, but also terribly skinny.

He accepted the water that Ian handed him with the same grateful attitude that he had the soup and he took a drink from it. When Ian asked him how his card magic worked Ryo smiled widely and set his eatery food and drink to the side as he pulled out three of his deck boxes "Well normally card magic is done using magical cards. These cards produce a variety of magical effects. My card magic is a bit different. It's called Combo Card Magic. I use these three decks here for it. One is my element deck, the other is my Uses deck, and finally the last one is a deck of your every day playing cards." as he spoke of his card magic Ryo seemed to glow with joy, and maybe what might be considered as pride.

Ian smiled as he listened to Ryo when he could see hm take on a smile as he had tasted his food. This proved to him that he wasn't as bad as he thought that he as. He was doing a bit of study to food and hoped to cook for a lot of the people when he would have a lot of experience. As he handed ryo the water he also took a bit small of the soup. There was still a lot left so he would at least have something for their noon meal if they would not have finished the mission by then. However he still had a surprise for Ryo when he would wake up in the morning. He had everything ready for a great breakfast, sausages, egg's, bacon and he would be able to toast the bread if Ryo would have liked to, and he had a machine with him to get fresh orange juice which would get the juice bt using the user's magic.

When Ryo began to talk about the magic he could see his face almost light up and become really happy. Ian was very able to see that Ryo was very proud of his magic and that he liked how his magic was. Now he listened smiling at the story ryo was telling a lot about his own magic. He was really just glowing. ''Wow you're magic sounds awesome'' Ian said giving him a cute smile as he looked at the card boxes. ''Uh'' He said as he looked a bit shy but decided still to ask Ryo since he looked like he loved his magic so much. ''Would you mind, you know showing me an example of you're magic?'' He asked with a blush on his face, while looking at the pan.

Ryo was surprised when he heard that Ian thought his magic was awesome. Ryo loved his magic that was true as he had used it to help him become free of his past and move on into his new much brighter future. Upon hearing the request for a demonstration he smiled softly and nodded his head "Sure thing. I can give you a little sample." he reached into his element box, and his regular cards box and pulled out a single card from each. One for each hand. He looked at Ian and continued with his explanation of his power "Well as you can see this element card depicts fire. So it has fire attributes." as he spoke the card became engulfed in flames and Ian could feel the heat coming from it, but even as Ryo held it in his hand it didn't burn him.

With a quick swipe the flames were gone and the card was simply in his hand again. Ryo smiled and put it away while he held up the normal playing card that began to shimmer in a soft purple aura "This is the ability my magic has. I can use any regular card as a weapon. These aren't very powerful, about as strong as my punches, but they are incredibly useful and don't require a lot of magical energy to use. Normally however I use these cards in a combo with an element and my black and white cards. My magic is called combo for a reason. All of my spells require me to use a combination of different cards in order to make them work."

He was surprised when he had heard Ryo tell him that he would be able to give him an example for his magic. He was really wondering what combo card magic meant. He could see Ryo take a card which was apparently a fire attribute card. He knew this caue of the symbol that was showing on the card and he saw it burst into flames. However there was a suprise, the flames weren't hurting Ryo his hand. He leaned a bit forward, not to feel the heat which he could allready feeling from the distance he was from the card but cause he actually wanted to be sure it didn't hurt Ryo his hand, if it would have done he would have slashed the card out of Ryo his hand to protect him from himself however it hadn't and he had been glad it hadn't.

He could see that the second card he had picked began to glow in a pruplish colour. He didn't know what element that was, maybe darkness however he wouldn't ask, he had a feeling he would be able to find it out when they had done more missions with each other and maybe had come into a fight. He listened to Ryo his explanation and how he said made it sound very easy. ''It sounds pretty understandable'' Ian said smiling as he stood up.

''I will be right back, I will make the beds up for us to sleep in and then we can fight further, feel free to help you to the food while i am gone and there is enough water for you'' Ian said as he went a bit to the back of the room in the tent. It didn't take long for him until he got back from the making of the bed. ''Done'' He said as he had also changed in his pyjama's. It was just his boxer short ad his pyjama shirt and he blushed a lot as he stood half naked in front of ryo and he sat down awaiting what ryo would say.

Ryo nodded his head lightly smiling "It's an easy magic to understand, but the fact that I don't know what cards I'm drawing until I draw them make it so my magic is as much a guess to me as the enemy. It's both a blessing and a curse, but that is the price for a magic like mine. We all must pay a price." He tucked the cards away and returned the boxes to his belt. When Ian left to make up the bed Ryo took a little bit more of the soup hoping to fill his stomach.

Once he had finished eating his stomach full he began to undress him. He took off his vest first, followed by his shirt, his belt, and finally his socks. Ryo thought a moment about what he should wear to bed, but decided that this was good enough. When Ian returned Ryo looked up at him with a smile "Good. Let's go ahead and get some sleep. Tomorrow we have a lot of work to do." He stood up and walked past Ian laying down on the bed and getting comfortable. Ian said that there was one bed and they would have to share, but Ryo didn't mind he was actually quite happy that Ian felt that comfortable around him. His dress certainly gave more evidence to this fact.

When Ian had come back he had not expected to see Ryo almost naked, he was half naked and he was not able to stop himself from smiling. He could feel his heart beat much faster then it usually did when he was close to ryo and he felt the feeling he did not know again. What was it, would he be able to find it out soon? However he couldn't help but stare at Ryo his body, he looked pretty sexy when he was undressed like this and he had to tear his eyes away from the boy of him to say. ''Yeah indeed we should'' He said a bit more shy again and blushing very much, his heart kept beating so fast as he went into the bed with Ryo and didn't try to take much of the blankets since he had it warm most of the time. For some reason eh could not understand that he was lying in the same bed as Ryo

(morning time skip)
He awoke in the morning, he hadn't slept bad but he liked his bed in the guild much better. He yawned and stretched andd the noticed that Ryo was lying next to him still half naked as he blushed and softly got out of the bed carefull not to wake ryo up and went to the grill getting ready to make the breakfast for Ryo. He got two plates, and made some sausages and he made fresh orange juice as the sent of feshly baked eggs, fresh orange juice and sausages however he also maked some toast to be sure he would have enough as the smell went thought the whole tent and when it was done he placed it on the bed and put his hand on ryo shoulder still blushing. ''Ryo, wake up breakfast is up''

Ryo smiled as he laid down and fell asleep with Ian right next to him. He didn't really mind laying in the same bed as Ian, and in fact he slept rather peacefully all things considering.

(Morning)
Ryo stirred slightly in his sleep as he could smell Ian cooking even in his sleeping state. He finally began to slowly try and wake up, but it wasn't a thing until Ian came in and placed his hand on his shoulder. Ryo smiled as he woke up and looked to Ian "Well Oohaiyoo. I am glad to see you're awake." he suddenly looked down and smiled sitting up the blanket falling down to reveal his naked torso. He picked up one of the plates smiling "Thank you very much for the meal Ian." he began to eat the meal that Ian had made for him cheerfully ignoring his clothing situation for the time being. As he continued to eat the meal he looked to Ian with a smile "This is really delicious Ian. Just what we need before the work we have ahead of us today. Now I shall finish the deck by treating it, you can go take care of the shingles and we can re-secure the gutters together."

Ian could see that ryo had been afsleep when he had first noticed that the guy still in bed, however he could feel the warmth of ryo his eternal body heat when he had placed his hand on his shoudler as he had tried to wake him up in some way or another. However when he sat up he could see the blanket fall away and ryo his sculpted chest was reaveled. He was muscular himself and Ian blushed trying not to stare at his body too much in any way that he would notice that ian was looking at it. He was a bit late with noticing that Ryo had thanked him for the meal he just made for them. '''N-no p-roblem'' He stuttered as he had a furious blush on his face. Damn why did he have to be so shy around this guy. His heart had started beating faster again when he had seen Ryo his chest and he began to develop a pretty good idea of what the feeling was but as for now he decided to just put it in a corner not trying to care about it, however he did not know for how long he would be able to keep this up.

He could see that Ryo had not even noticed that he was half naked and that, that was the reason he had a blush on his face. When Ryo began to eat he was acting like he was checking if there was any fresh orange juice left in his glass, but actually he was checking out Ryo his chest, cause there was no reason Ryo would like him in the way he would like Ryo. He began to smear some toast and eat it, after he had ate his sausage. He could hear Ryo say that is food had been delicious and that it was a good breakfast for a full day of work which they were about to head of to. ''Uh that's ok, I don't mind cooking and sure let me get it now'' He said as he got all the empty glasses, plates and other stuff and put them into a small bin filled with a bit of water so he would be able to clean the plates later if he had wanted to.

''Ok, I will start allready at the shingles'' He said as he walked out of the tent. Once out of the tent he sighed a bit as he couldn't get the image of Ryo his naked chest out of his mind. What was wrong with him? He jumped up flying to the roof with the equipement he needed and began to repair it, this was a lot more work then all the work he had done yesterday and as he was working it began to become noon and it was a very hot day, which meant that it would rain tommorow or at least very soon. He knew Ryo didn't feel the same thing he did for him so he decided to pull of his shirt. As he had done it you could see a pretty muscular chest, with a sixpack and broad strong shoulders as he kept working on the roof. His built and how he looked could have been that of a man even thought he was only eighteen, he had a bit of hair on his chest and he had a treasure trail together with the armpithair. He was soon done and as he went down to Ryo he forgot that he was half naked. ''So Ryo shall we do the gutters now'' He said giving him a smile and awaiting his awnser. He was really sweating, he had not expected the day to be so hot or it could have been just him because he had worked so hard trying to get the shingles repaired which, surprisingly had worked out great.

Ryo enjoyed his meal to the fullest. He was truly impressed with how good of a chef Ian was proving to be. He couldn't help but wonder if Ian liked magic or cooking more. Now that Ryo really thought about it he didn't know all that much about his partner. After all there wasn't exactly a lot of time to stop and get to know each other, and he had boggarted a lot of that time that was afforded to them. He felt kind of guilty that it was the case in his mind, but he swore that he could do better, and would do better in the future. He let Ian take care of the plates and everything on his own, but he did feel a little guilty about it, so he swore instead that he would do his absolute hardest work today.

As Ian left the tent Ryo got dressed somewhat. He pulled on his button up shirt, his belt, and his boots, but he left his hat, his vest, and his coat inside of the tent. He quickly unmade the beds and got everything that he could ready to be packed up once their job was finished. He looked to the plates in the bin, and then outside the tent. He shook his head finally deciding that he couldn't simply not help, so Ryo began to scrub the plates clean, and do all of the dishes that they had accumulated.

Once he had that done, and the dishes were now drying he left the tent and headed over to the deck with the wood treatment supplies. He was very careful to treat every single plank of wood, and ever single inch of the railing that he had replaced. He didn't believe in doing half assed jobs, and he wouldn't let this man suffer for his own laziness. It was beyond noon when he was finished. The day was a very hot one, but Ryo didn't mind so much. As he stepped back to admire his work he shook out his sweat soaked hair and at this moment he looked to see Ian. He was curious why Ian was half naked, but he wasn't going to say anything. In fact something about him was admiring Ian's body, and even taking a liking to it. He registered the question and nodded his head smiling "Yeah. Let's get on those gutters. I'll hold 'em from the ladder and you can secure them to the house." Ryo walked past Ian and did just as he said he would holding the gutters in place so Ian could secure them.

Ian was glad when he had heard Ryo work with the dishes before, that had allready taken a very huge load of his mind. He had wondered how they would fit washing the dishes in the schedule he had made in his head before they had to leave. He had allready been afraid that they would not have been able to wash the dishes and he would have needed to put the dirty ones in his bag. This would have made his bag dirty so this was really making him happy, and he even got the bed away so they would only have to break down the tent and they would be able to leave and even get an reward for their mission. He knew it wouldn't be much though. Maybe they could live together if it was only for a small time like a year. They could use the money they owned to pay the rent they needed to have for the room. It would be better then need to pay it alone an they would be able to afford some furniture for it however he would like to get to know Ryo a bit more before that happened and have to know he would not have a problem with living with a person who was gay. Maybe he would find it akward however Ian hoped he would not mind. . He blushed while thinking about this waiting for Ryo his responds still not noticing he was half naked. It apparently didn't bother him this much.

When he had come down he had seen ryo whipe the sweat of his hair and thought that it looked kinda hot. How come no girl was running behind him like she was a fan of a boy band group. He smiled at Ryo when he heard his responds. ''Sure then we can get the camp stuff and go away.'' Ian said giving Ryo a kind smile as he went up the ladder and began to try to get it to hold. He needed to put a lot of power in to make sure they would stay in place and his biceps were not more seeable as they were a bit stretched. However soon he got the gutter to stay in place with some nails and iron and he was glad they had finally finished the mission as he went down and the old man came out. He thanked them and gave them the reward as Ian smiled at him. He then turned around to look at Ryo. ''You just rest I will take it from here'' He said as he patted Ryo his shoulder and blushed again while in two minuts the tent was packed up and ready to go as he went back to Ryo. ''So you wanne go?''

(shall we continue the topic but then that they walk back to saber so they can get to know each other a bit better, and tell him he needs to put on a shirt please :3 I promise his reaction will be super funny.

Ryo was very happy to have Ian and his wind magic. It truly did make this job a lot easier than it would've been had he been working on his own, or anything like that. Finally, the both of them had finished their job, and the old man came out thanked them for their hard work and gave them the reward they were promised. As Ian finished packing up the camp Ryo retrieved the rest of the clothes he left behind and put them on. Once he had his hat, and his coat on he felt complete again and this was what he loved about wearing them.

He looked at Ian as he finished packing up the camp. Now Ryo noticed that Ian wasn't wearing a shirt still and he sighed softly "Ian. We can go, but you will need to put a shirt on. I think indecency might be a thing here in Magnolia." He watched Ian to see how he would react. As he waited he pulled out his playing cards and began to shuffle them as he waited for Ian to react.

Ian was glad when everyone was up and was a bit surpised with the awnser he had gotten from ryo. ''Huh shirt?'' He said as he looke down and saw he was half naked. His face slowly became red and he began to freak out which looked very comical to outsiders as he after five minuts of histarious freak outs he got a shirt and quickly pulled it on blushing very much not wanting to look at ryo his face.

He quickly picked up his stuff and walked up front a bit embarrased. He had worked half naked in front of ryo. His Blush became even more as he said ''Let's go then'' Even though he was a bit further away then ryo was at the moment. How could he not have noticed that he had been working half naked in front of a person. He was really self consious and it was weird he had not noticed what had happened until now.

Ryo watched with a cocked brow as he watched Ian's reaction to the fact that he wasn't wearing a shirt. He couldn't help but smirk and chuckle ever so softly to himself enjoying the very funny comedy performance. Once Ian finished his shenanigans, dressed, and began to leave Ryo followed after him still shuffling his cards with a sly smile on his face. He tipped his hat one last time to the old man as he caught up with Ian and walked next to him shuffling his cards.

He looked to his partner and smiled softly "So tell me Ian. When did you discover your magic? Also what denomination of wind magic are you capable of using?" He felt that now was the proper time to ask these types of questions. He still felt very bad about boggarting the personal time that they had last night in the tent with his own talk. So now he was making amends.

Ian had looked at Ryo as he had pulled his shirt up and had seen him shuffling the cards in his hands. When they had began to walk to the setting sun he could hear Ryo ask him when he had discovered his magic and what kind of wind magic it now actually was. He turned his head and looked a bit sad. Obviously something had happened that made him discover his magic and it was obvious he did not want to talk about it very much thought. ''Well Uh I have the normal wind element magic like most people have'' He still was not looking at Ryo with a hurtfull expression as tears had shimmered in his eyes and a few had fallen from his face on his cheeks. However he quickly whiped them away not wanting to dim their fun. He put a fake smile on his lips and hoped ryo would be able to believe it. ''It's nothing, so how did you come across sabertooth, did you thought it was a fun guild or did you wanne join from when you were young?''

Ryo watched his partner as they walked down the street observing him with the best skills he could. He knew that Ian's poker face was only a sham and it was quite a sad one, but Ryo didn't want to upset Ian any further so he chose to keep his mouth shut on this particular matter. Still he hoped that he could get closer to Ian to find out the truth of everything.

When Ian asked how he found the guild Ryo smirked and shook his head "Oh no. You see after I discovered my magic I was told that most magi joined guilds, and that I needed to find one myself. I then went around asking about the various different guilds and what kind of people they attracted. So this being the case I found Sabertooth. I heard it was full of people who acted like one big family, and I just couldn't say no. I've always been a fan of the family feeling, and going out of one's way to help others. So of course I immediately began to ask where the Sabertooth guild hall was, and i found my way there to join. So here I am." he said fondly as he touched the guild crest on his neck.

Ian listened intensly to what Ryo was telling him. This was kinda weird, he knew the girl had a bad reputation from the former guildmaster and the members who had joined the guild before he had so they would have known the guild when it had been in its early times when it only let members in it which were very strong and not weak like Ian was. If that had still been the case Ian would have not been able to join the guild without at least batteling another member and he did not think he would have been able to win against that opponent.

''Oh thats cool'' Ian said to Ryo as he wondered what would be the thing that made Ryo join it could only be the thing that he thought the guild cared about his people but he wondered who would have told Ryo that. He looked ahead as he wanted to feel his own bed pretty soon. ''So whats you're history if you don't mind me asking though'' Ian said as he wondered what Ryo would awnser to his questions, there would be so many things he would be able to awnser.
