Ziare set in a well lit corner of the library with a vast array of books on the table in front of her. She was working on her paper for one of her classes researching the different elements with a emphasis on her specialty. She already had several pages of notes but she was having problems finding the right information about the history of fire elements.
She flipped through the book the pages making a crackling sound as she turned the old parchement. She was sitting there leaning over the books with her head on her hand tired from reading and studying. At this rate it wasn't ever going to get done.

Walking in to look for another book and return the one he had checked out the other day, Always here since he studied almost nonstop since he arrived, Already having read a large portion of the books in the library and able to recite almost word for word what most of them said. Seeing her in the corner and walking over looking at her notes biefly. "You appear to be having trouble with something." His tone courteous in a somewhat distant sort of way and almost devoid of any emotional inflections

Ezra kept to the corner, plugged into one of the school's research computers. Instead of using the computer directly, he used his mage deck through a USB cord. It allowed him to not only save his research onto his hard drive directly, but also to bypass the stupid school site filter program. It was such an inconvinece to have to deal with a program that kept him from acessing information. Sure, books were cool and all, but everything was better through the net.
And thanks to his deck, he had enough screen space up to almost fully obscure his body. About all that showed was the very top of the headphones he had. If it weren't for the noise cancelling system, half the school could probably hear the tracne techno blasting through his headset. From behind the screen, the data couldn't be seen, but there were nothing but equations and simulations going on on his screens.

"You appear to be having trouble with something." a male voice said from behind her. Ziare started and turned her head she had been studying so hard that she hadn't even heard him come up.
"Y..Yes." she stuttered still caught by surprise. "I'm doing a paper and the information I need is unavailable in these books."
She turned back to the books and began closing the few she was finished using. She stacked them on the side of the table and opened the last book she had yet to look through. She thumbed through the index looking for her subject.
"I just can't find it." she said exhasperated.

Nodding slightly as he seated himself without asking and looked at her work so far and the books still there. "Elements then? you seem to be lacking much on fire. Perhaps I could aid you, I dont have much power really but I am accounted an excellent student and I tend to remember what Ihear and read. What have you got?"

She smiled grateful for his unasked for help. She probably would have asked anyway and she was grateful he was helping her.
"I don't really have much at all really. I know that it traces back to the neolithic era when fire first became known. But I can't find much information on it since then. It just seems to exist but I can't find definitive evidence on the element being studied or anything." she told him looking up with a 'help me' look in her eyes.

Shaking his head and sighing. "You just arent looking in the right places." Listing off a few authors and books titles from memory "They list fire's uses in various forms of magic, Though they all state fire is one of the most unstable and unpredicable, Seemingly closely linked to the emotional state of the user. I could help more though I see no real benefit in doing so." clearly only helping out of what he percieved as a selfless act so far but that much was gone by now.

Ziare quickly scribbled the names and authors down on the pad next to her.
"Thank you thank you very much. But I'm not sure how I could make it to your advantage. I'm sorry I don't have anything to offer for your help. But thank you for what you've done for me." she stood up taking her pad. "I'm going to go find these and thank you again." she said bowing slightly.

Bowing his head slightly and standing as he turned to leave before pausing and turning back to her, His deep green eyes focusing on her intently "Perhaps we could make an arrangement, What magic do you use?" a twinkle in his eyes hinting he had an idea in mind.

She lifted her eyebrows at his question.
"I am an elemental summoner. I'm not sure how that can be of use to you." she told him. "Why?"
She was curious as to what plans he had for her magic.

Nodding, "I see, Well I use alchemy and I enchant items, Perhaps we can make a deal. I am not a fighter but perhaps if you helped me with that I could help you with your studies, I can also give you some enchanted items to use if you need them as they are needed." Looking at her questioningly clearly wanting to know what she thought of the idea

"But how can my summoning help you?" she asked confused. She shifted her weight to her other hip and looked at him. "I'm not sure I understand."
She did like the idea of enchanted items depending on the enchantment but she was't sure how her magic could be used to help out this boy.
"And I never did get your name."

Nodding, "It's Ioless. But when people challenge me to a fight you can fight for me using my enchantments, I'm good at thinking but not so great with battle, understand? It seems a mutually beneficial agreement."

"I..I don't know. I only started yesterday and I don't know anything about fighting." she told him. "I may have a combative power but I don't know how to use it yet."
She was embarrassed a bit because she really didn't know how to fight. Not yet, perhaps one day but they had yet to learn it yet.

Sighing he nodded. "I see, That is unfortunate but perhaps we could come to other arrangements. Perhaps untill then we could meet periodically?" seeming interested in what might not be called a friendship but more like an alliance.
