Alastin paused for a moment as he listened to her tale of the trial and understood what Misae said the other day about trial by pain. A trial for a pheonix from what Misae told him and from what Ziare was now telling him seemed like a harsh thing to accomplish. The reward however, was a lifetime bond with one of the rarest birds in existance. Birds that would fight for you and heal you more importantly stay at your side as if you were family and Alastin nodded at that. To have the trust of a pheonix was an incredibly rare thing and he gave a small and gentle smile over the thought of it all as he felt her head on his shoulder and he gave a gentle smile at her and kissed her cheek.
"The trial I can understand for someone who does not gain the pheonix themselves but, to have a pheonix. To have the pure and lifelong trust of one to where they would be your constant companion and be willing to lay down everything for you. That is trust that has to be earned in the Trial of Pain as Misae called it," he said softly as he finally had everything he wanted and walked to the counter with her paying for it all.
I think I'm starting to understand yet another part of Ziare...
Alastin turned around and slipped his arms around her waist gently smiling into her eyes.
"For enduring this trip to the medical supply store how about I pay for the ice cream," he said with a smile.

Ziare felt his arms go around her waist and she smiled looking up into his golden eyes. He smiled down at her and she felt warm slightly just from seeing his smile. The Trial of Pain as it was indeed called had been tough but given the choice again she would have gladly done it again. She didn't mind in the least. Especially now that she knew how wonderful having a phoenix and Kaladra at that was.
She smiled at Alastin once more before kissing his cheek and waiting for him to pay for all his things. It wasn't long before he was done and mentioning icecream.
"Sure. Sounds great." she said softly. "I'll have to take you home with me in the summer. We make our own icecream on the farm. Taking milk from the dairy cows and then the pure sugar that is sold in the general store. My brothers take turns working on it and my sisters and I usually go pick flowers and make wreaths out of them for the day. It's kinda like a family picnic day complete with icecream and everything." she said with a smile.
And as most people might think that homemade icecream wasn't nearly as good as the kind you buy in the store. Because oft times it didn't have as much sugar. But then you would have to remind yourself that the kids in this household made it. And though only two were still young enough to be called children it didn't take away from the fact that there was A LOT of sugar. It was the best and they always made vanilla because then you could add your own things to make it your favorite.
She smiled softly at the memory of her brothers working with the icecream. Making it by hand as her family had no electricty. She and her two sisters would sit on the front step of the porch and watch with wonder and excitment in their eyes as they wove their wreaths.

Again he felt her warm smile and the warmth of her lips on his cheek and he blushed slightly at the kiss. He loved open affections but, he didn't expect it from Ziare all the time since she had Jyo courting her once again and they were more or less best friends not the 'I love you' types. A part of him wished otherwise but, he wasn't going to outright fight for it until he knew his real feelings on the matter. He nuzzled Ziare lightly enjoying her touch and it showed as he stayed there for a few more moments before kissing her neck softly. He brightened noticably about her talking about homemade ice cream as he turned and put the stuff up in his empty messenger bag that was hanging at his other hip carefully putting it up.
"Homemade ice cream?! No fair, my dad would TOTALLY freak if we ever tried something like that. His thing with ice cream is like a once a year treat and that's only if you do something really really good. Needless to say I've snuck a couple bowls so far while I've been here at the academy," Alastin said with a blush and then gave another happy smile.
"I'd love to go next time summer rolls around," He said with a smile as he walked out of the store with Ziare his arm looped around hers as he walked with her down the street again to an ice cream parlor. Or at least he was keeping an eye out for one as they walked.
"Is there any place else you want to hit after ice cream?"

Ziare smiled at his excitement. She wasn't used to him getting so excited over things like this. She chuckled softly and shook her head as he blushed deeply over sneaking bowls of something as harmless as icecream.
"Well then I promise to take you. You would have fun. It's usually a huge thing. The whole town gets together and we have a huge carnival party thing and we all get together the icecream is just part of it." she explained.
They left the shop and began walking down the street looking for an icecream shop. He was getting rather affectionate she thought thinking of Alastin but she didn't mind in a way. It was nice to have someone like her so much. Granted Jyo was fighting nails and teeth for her and she definatly had some decisions to make.
"No not really. Maybe a book store if you are up to it." she suggested.
Now that he had cast that spell on her she felt a bit braver and able to handle a bit more of the city than she had when they first set out. She didn't know if the spell would wear off or not because the nagging doubts were still playing over and over again in her mind. But she was going to make the best of it til fear over came her again. She hated hiding from everything but sometimes it was all she really had.

The spell had already worn off it was just a boost of bravery and confidence that Alastin had given as he walked with her and gave a smile as she talked about how it was a town event. Now that just sounded so cool that they made this a real big event for something like that and he was even more curious then ever about it. Still it just sounded like so much fun and he wanted to go there was no doubt about it as he continued to enjoy this time out in the city. He didn't mind being dragged out in fact he was having a fun glad that they had went down into the city since he got to see so many things. What Ziare was probably used to each thing was a first time for him so he was savoring the moments that he had out here since he spent most of his time back at the academy learning. Humming for a moment he spotted a parlor even as he heard Ziare's comment about books.
"Then we'll hit the bookstore next maybe they have some of my favorite areas there I'm really big on fantasy books ever since I met Misae," he confessed with a smile as he walked with Ziare into the ice cream parlor and looked around for a moment humming as he got in line with her. It was rather busy during the day quite a variety of customers at the tables but, he just hummed happily as he stood beside Ziare.
"Did you want to just get the stuff to go or eat the ice cream here?" he asked as he turned to look at her again giving another little smile as he hummed. He couldn't help it really he was usually just a really happy sort of guy.

The entered the icecream parlor and another cool blast of air hit them. This time it was more cold than anything as it almost had that dry biting chill to it that freezers did. She smiled softly as they stood in line. She liked it in here. Granted she felt cold only because she was a fire element and preferred the warmth but then again it was a nice change and she was wearing a sweater.
"I think we can just stay here and eat it." she said with a shrug.
It was so cute to see him humming happily. He seemed like one of those people that was perpetually happy. She yawned slightly from her activities of the day. She hadn't been out and about much lately and even though she was beginning to sleep better she was still not used to so much activity. Though the thought of sitting in an icecream parlor and just enjoying the tasty snack would be a lot of fun.
"What kind are you going to get?" she asked.

Alastin nodded at her comment of them just staying in the parlor and enjoying the snack as he hummed for a moment glancing at the menu for several moments. There were just so many choices that he wanted to try he knew he would have to make several visits before he would be at least satisfied. He heard her yawn and looked up at her giving a smile as he slipped an arm around her waist and thought about what he wanted. There was just so many he wanted to have him all but, he new that was ridiculous. Instead however, he settled on the mint and chocolate chip ice cream and gave a smile at her.
"Mint chocolate chip double scoop for me, what do you want before I order it all?" he asked as he hummed softly the line advancing forward.

Ziare felt his arm around her waist and she smiled leaned against him softly. She closed her eyes for a moment just reveling in the soft touches he gave her so readily. She smiled and inhaled his scent. He always had the scent of some kind of herbs but there was something that smelled like sunlight.
"I want turtle icecream with the little candies." she said softly as she nuzzled into him gently.
She felt the line move up closer and she moved with him not opening her eyes.
"Say Alastin, would you.. would you be my very best friend?" she asked softly. "I don't think.. I could make it without you."

Alastin looked up smiling softly at Ziare nuzzling into him it was always so nice, these soft touches. Just reminding him that the world was a pretty good place to be and why he was doing what he did. It wasn't just the progress that made him happy he was just one of those affectionate people always like a gentle touch here and there to reaffirm his words. He looked up at her when she asked a question that actually touched him deep down. When someone asks you to be thier best friend it was not only a sign of deep and inherent trust that you could share. It was also meaning that you were able to confide in someone else when you had nobody else to go to. Friends to the end. To hear that being asked by Ziare warmed Alastin up and he gave a happy sort of smile at her as he kissed her cheek softly.
"You never had to ask Ziare I was hoping I would reach that point with you because I have such good times with you," Alastin whispered softly as they finally reached the front and he gave a smile.
"What can I get you," the cashier asked.
"Double-scoop of turtle ice-cream with the little candies. Also a double-scoop of mint chocolate chip please," Alastin said with a smile as he lightly ran his fingers against Ziare's side and hummed softly as he paid for it and gently held her against him for that wonderful moment. He finally moved his arm away when he picked up their ice creams and walked to a table with Ziare.
"So how many summons do you have anyways?" Alastin asked curiously as they headed to a table.

Ziare was elated when he told her that he would be more than happy to be her best friend. She smiled softly. He was the only person that had truly brought her back out of herself after the incident. Helping her find herself again finding her smile her laugh her life. She would never be able to thank him enough she only hoped that one day she could help him in some way.
She felt him stroking her side and she closed her eyes again letting his touches soothe her as they always did. He seemed to be so good at that. Just making her feel wanted and loved without having to say a word. Few people could do that but man he sure as heck could. She stayed quiet and didn't even notice the white hair that the man behind the counter had since her eyes were closed. It was probably a good thing or the icecream shop wouldn't have lasted long.
When he let go she took her icecream from him and grabbed a bunch of napkins before she sat down next to him. Her back to the man at the counter she didn't notice him again.
"Hmm I have eight actually. I have Armenius of course my fire and bond summon. A tattoo covers my entire back from his bond with me which grew when I put this ring on when I visited my home. The ring was apparently my mothers, my real mothers and now it doesnt come off." she shrugged showing him the white gold ring on her right hand with the ruby and a dragon surrounding it the fire rune carved into the ruby.
"Then Noxanna is my light summon she can put people to sleep and paralyze them. Celeste is my healer and wind summon mainly mana and healing minor injuries. Sheeta is the dark version of me with her dark element. She's also the one that spoke for me to Jyo and fixed my hair. Fianna is my earth summon she is a tiger and she's rather strong. Zara is my water summon she is transparent and can project her voice. Veda is my spirit summon that can call the dead to help the fight. And Scith is my metal summon she's like a metal angel she comes with a scythe that she knows how to use all too well. And that's them." she said with a shrug as she began eating her tasty icecream.
She spooned up a generous amount and fed it to him gently with a soft smile on her face.

He found himself sitting next to Ziare but, he had noticed the white haired man and got alittle uneasy for a moment. He was definantly going to keep Ziare distracted even if it meant he had to kiss her in public. There was no way in hell he was going to let her have a panic attack out here and ruin all the work that he had put so much time and effort in. Ziare was making so much progress today there was no way in hell he was going to let something like this ruin it. He shifted his attention back to her nuzzling against her and enjoying the warmth since it was noticably colder in here then it was outside or in the previous shops. The biting cold of the freezers he only hoped that didn't trigger anything with her since he really did care for Ziare and it was one of the reasons he was so happy that she asked if he would be her best friend.
He heard her start talking and smiled when she showed him the ring and told him about the tatoo and blinked for a moment.
"Wow Armenius has a tatoo on you? I don't have anything noticable from being bonded with Misae," he said softly as he listened to her talk about her summons and smiled gently as she talked about so many different elements. He hoped that he would become as diverse a summoner as she was as he saw the spoon of ice cream in front of his face. He leaned forward and took it making a small moan almost at how good it was actually shivering from the chilly but, delightful taste as he closed his eyes.
"Oh wow..." he whispered.
"Yours is really good," he said softly as he took a bite of his and gave another delightful shiver. Being fair though he offered her a bit of his ice cream as he spoke.
"I hope I can become as good a summoner as you are you're just so much more advanced then I am," he said with a soft smile as he thought about the next question for a moment. "Well you know I have Misae but, I can also summon light archons they're pure celestial energy beings that are really nice to have around. They're like little orbs almost." He nuzzled her again for a moment and thought about a question.
"So do you like taking walks in a forest or garden?"

Ziare smiled as she and Alastin sat in the cold creamery. She didn't mind the cold. So long as it didn't start to snow and she didn't have to the the iced inside of anyone's freezer for a while she figured she was good. She chuckled at the reaction her icecream got from Alastin and as he returned the favor she smiled.
Leaning forward her eyes locked on his and she took her bite. She smiled softly her eyes lighting up as she pulled back rather sensually without meaning to be so and she let the icecream melt on her tongue.
"Now that is good stuff." she chuckled.
She went back to eating her own icecream as she heard his comment followed by his question. She thought about it for a moment and grinned.
"Forest definatly because that is a place I can just lose myself in." she said with a smile using her spoon to accent her words. "Its so amazing and the forest around Rosewood is thick and dense and I used to go there and explore all the time." she said with a soft smile.

There are times when you just realize how hot the person is next to you. Where it goes from just pure innocence to something else and more elemental. Primal. Physical attraction. Alastin just got a full dose of that as he saw the way Ziare sensually took the icecream bite off his spoon. The way her pouting lips just wrapped around the plastic made him shiver, made him quiver. More importantly? It just made him realize how hot Ziare was. He looked up at her in a new light just for once and the spoon fell from his nerveless fingers as he was just in awe. Ziare wasn't just hot she was dropdead stunning right now everything just catching her just right.
"Forest sounds nice..." he whispered his throat dry.
CRAP!
"Sorry I just well...ughh..." he quickly moved down to grab it clumsily hitting his head on the table edge and winced but, saw the way the sweater fit Ziare so nicely. How the jeans accented her curves just right. How his head was so close too...
BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD!
Alastin rubbed his head wincing slightly and set the spoon down for a moment.

Ziare's eyes opened wide when she heard the spoon fall. She looked down at the plastic sitting on that table and heard Alastin's dry whisper. She chuckled. What in heaven's name had come over him? When he hit his head on the table she winced with him.
When he came back up she smiled and leaned forward and kissed his forehead gently. Smiling she moved back and looked into his eyes. She chuckled.
"What was that all about?" she asked softly.
He was so cute. Like a puppy you just wanted to put him in your lap and cuddle up with him forever. She brushed his hair back away from his forehead gently and tucked it behind his ears so she could see his beautiful golden eyes better. She took another spoon of her icecream and ate it with the icecream pointed towards her tongue in that classic sexy move.

Death by ice cream seduction? He shivered slightly when he came back up and felt her take his cheeks gently as she leaned forward once again his throat going dry for a moment. There was just something about Ziare right now that was impossible to resist that made him go dry and realize that there was more to her that he felt then just their friendship. Right now he wasn't just seeing Ziare the best friend, Ziare the cuddler, or Ziare the patient. Right now he was seeing Ziare the woman. Right this very moment Alastin was in awe and star-struck so to speak as he couldn't help but, notice how hot Ziare was this very moment. How she really was a sexy looking woman that could make a guy drool on the spot if she wanted to.
OH MY.........just oi wow I'm uhmmmm....MISAE?!
~Not helping you with this one.~
Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
There was only that chuckle in his mind that was timed perfectly with Ziare's chuckle and he blushed lightly not yet picking up his spoon. He felt her fingers go through his hair and brush it away from his face causing him to nervously look up for a moment. The kiss hadn't helped either as he was just soooooo flustered at the moment. Yet another testament to just how innocent Alastin was as he nearly squeaked when she did something again. Again she was just so innocently pulling a sexy pose on him nearly cuasing him to just blush and make a run for it. He knew he couldn't run though since he knew not only Misae would yell at him but, he would hurt Ziare. So he knew running wasn't an option even though he was flustered as hell.
He looked down for a moment pushing his fingers togeather.
"Has anyone told you how hot you look sometimes?" Alastin mumbled sheepishly with a small blush as he looked up at her giving a weak smile. Nervously he toyed with the cross that was around his neck and gave a small smile for a moment. It was that nervous and shy smile as he felt a tad self-concious for the moment.
"I mean...just right now you look so..." he looked down his hair falling around his face.
"Incredible..." he whispered. Trust Alastin to be honest.
