Meeting Cid - [ Crysta ]

It had been a little of a long day for her. She had traveled for days, and arrived here, still her stuff not organized in her dorm, and she felt absolutely disgusting. She would take a bath as soon as she found her dorms. Her luggage had beaten her to it since her people took care of it, while she looked around and met someone over at the cafeteria as she ate something. What she had on the whole trip, was what she would use as uniform, but now it wasn’t as it should be, like in the sense of it being as nice as it should look since she had been in the plane and stuff. Her white buttoned up shirt was a little wrinkled and slightly tucked out, the sleeves rolled up above her elbow, her black, pleated skirt didn’t seem like it was ironed just before she had put it on, and her black tie was untightened around her neck, under the shirts collar, and hung from her torso. At least her boots weren’t high heels or anything. She cursed those shoes, but she’s wear ‘em if she had to for a special occasion or whatever.

Scrutinizing around the halls, the young girl tried to get herself familiar with the unknown scool around her. She had to since she was going to be around 'til her parents asked her to go back, Better not hold my breath for that... in fact, maybe I should since it's not like anything matters anymore, she thought to herself and took a deep breath in and held her breath with her cheeks all swollen up with air. After a few moments, her cheeks started getting a little pink, and she let all the air out making a wushing sound, Nah, life’s too awesome without my parents around… Crysta never stopped walking throughout the whole charade. She looked around at the ceilings, paintings and beautiful things around. It was like old, yet new.

Her head is still a little childish and stubborn, so there really isn’t much to get her interest, but she had to admit that it was cool since it was different than the castle she’s used to. A complete different culture. Then, she came across a doubled door. It seemed quite majestic, in a way, compared to the other doors, like if something ‘interesting’ was suppose to be held in there. This made her curious. Maybe a little bit more than she should be since she might just intrude. Oh wait, she isn’t one to care, so she made her way over to the door. She put her hand on the wooden door for a moment and looked at all the carved things it had, and felt all those tiny details with her fingers. Then, her hands went down and reached the handle. She twisted it and opened the door. She looked at everything inside as she slowly opened the door. There, stood someone. She had no clue who it was but maybe he was one in the administration since most other students are in class or mission, or something. She looked around for a moment, then looked back at him, “Whoops, my bad, pops. Looking for the bathroom,” she said with a casual normal voice, like if she was talking to any other student and not to an adult with care, and elegance. It was not something expected from a princess. In her mind, she made a disgusted sound by the thought. She hated being called that. But then again, what does she care? She shrugged, and turned and in that same second closed the door behind her since she hadn’t let got of the door handle. It was already closed, and she didn’t let go of it. She was a little lost in thought, but then opened the door again. She looked at the man with a face of curiosity, “Are you that cool dude everyone’s talking about? Um… Cid is it?” She had left out the word ‘headmaster’ or ‘master’ as everyone uses it, on purpose. She waited for him to reply, and stood there with her hand still gripping on the handle. Was she glued to it or something? Sheesh.

Cid slid his glasses down his nose just a bit, peeking up with his neck bent down to see a young lady at his doorstep, the only one to skip the tiring formalities with him. With a humble smile, he took his glasses off and waved her in with the hand he held them in.

Yes I'm Cid! Come in young lady, I'm not sure if I'm the cool guy you're talking about, but I am the headmaster of the Garden. It's a pleasure to meet you. What is your name dear?

Crysta tilted her head to the side a bit a little surprised by his calm reaction. She expected something about her behavior, but he didn't. She didn't mind getting scolded, in fact, usually it was her goal point, but guess this can work, for now. She smiled and closed the door behind her and walked towasrds Cid and stood right in front of him, though a little distance from his desk where he had many papers who knows with what. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked around at the papers, "Yeah, it's you then... Crysta. Dang, you have a lot of papers there ol'..... sir" she was about to tell him 'old man' but even she might have to admit that was a little to far. She gave a slight smile from the corner of her lips a little embarrassed, but then relaxed since she didn't care much since she didn't actually get to say it, so no need for apoligize or anything.

Cid looked over all of his papers and fought back a sigh. It was indeed a lot. New students were pouring in, and it was becoming a tough job. Thankfully Erk and the rest of the staff where here to help. Shinu typically kept the students well organized so he didn't spend much time dealing with troublesome things.

Well my dear, our Garden is growing. More students like you are coming here to hone their skills. I am interested to watch you grow as a person and a student. Tell me, is there anything I can do to help Crysta?

More students like her? Dang that was going to be fun... but probably not for him. It would probably be chaos! But she knew what he meant. She turnd, giving him her back completely, and spotted the chair, and sat in it. She put her legs up in the chair and crossing them like the people usually do and refer to it as 'the indian way' or whatever, "Not really. I'm just bored out of my mind in this place... nice place, though. I have to give ya that." She tried to come up with a conversation as she looked around but there really wasn't much. Then, something someone had said ran a through her mind, "Hey, pops. Who's that kid everyone keeps talking about? They say that he left and it seems he was loved by many since everyone won't shut up about and let it go." she asked a bit interested, though she hope she wasn't taking any of his time with small talk. She really just wanted someone to talk to even if she didn't admit it.

Her question was a sting to Cid's heart. Any other student would have known that talking about Shinu with Cid was a touchy subject, but she had no way of knowing that, and he wouldn't hold it against her. Shinu was basically his adopted son without the formalities, and the person Cid trusted the most. His leaving was a huge blow to him.

Well that's Shinu you're asking about. He was the undeniable leader of our Garden, probably even over me. He was well liked, actually the only person with no one to claim they disliked him. He was our top student, researcher, and summoner. So you can see... there's reason to not let it go so easily.

He stood up from his chair behind the desk, and walked over to sit next to Crysta. He took his seat, his legs a bit weary, as was the rest of his body.

The boy meant a lot to me, his mother trusted me with his well being and I feel I have let her down. But I am sorry for dampening the mood.

Crysta noticed in the old man's eyes all those emotions run through him in such a simple second. It was horrible to see. She felt like it would have hurt a lot less if she stabbed him right in the heart with one of her daggers. She tried to swallow but it sounded a little uneasy and loud. She heard what he had to say about the guy. He was over the head-master? Dang, but he was wrong in one part. Right now, she disliked him. Why would he do such a thing if he knew how much he was loved over at this place and how many people would suffer for him? This taunted her, and she was going to confront this guy hopefully get the chance to fight with him, once she gets controls over her powers. She didn't care if she lived or die, she just hated people who made so many others suffer because of his mistakes... like her father.

She kept her eyes on Cid's as he walked to the chair besides her. She wondered if she should have helped him, but she couldn't find herself moving even a single finger or twitch. She reminded her self to breath and a long sigh escaped through her lips, "It's okay, pops. You probably couldn't of changed the dude's mind, and he did it on his own. Maybe... this was needed. Maybe, later on, this will be some kind of lesson to the place or just show something, I don't know. You just have to wait and see how things turn out. Things aren't always how it seems." she told him as sincere as she could. She really meant all this and didn't know where it all came from. She didn't even know she had it in her to say such things, but it was like.. she felt.. comfortable. Comfortable telling him things and comforting him. It wasn't like she felt pity or anything, but it wasn't any good for an old man like him to worry like that because it would really affect him both physically and mentally, in a way, "I don't think you've let her down... at least, not yet..."

I suppose you're right Crysta, but I'm sorry for spilling my troubles on to you, keeping things in and having a straight face all the time can be tough.

He looked over his paper work, none of which was anything pressing, he just wasn't being his usual organized self. He needed to shape up soon or he'd be in some trouble.

Tell me my dear, how would you like a job?

Crysta smiled at him, "It's okay. Don't worry. I don't mind. You shouldn't hold off feelings too much. It ruins everyone..." She followed his gaze to his papers, and kept her eyes in them. When he spoke of giving her a job, she got a good idea of what he would want her to do. She smiled and got up. she walked over to behind his desk and leaned down with her palms down on the table and looked around at the different papers, "What did you have in mind, pops?" she side with her sweet voice. It was weird for her to use it since she's usually so sarcastic and sour, but she loved the aura he gave. It was like he loved everyone equally as a child of their own.

Well, the first thing I need you to do for me is send a letter. We'll get this desk cleaned up soon enough.

Cid grabbed a folder and handed it to Crysta.

The man's name is Oogie. Shinu's mother told me that if her son was ever in trouble, for me to find Oogie. I need you to send this letter I wrote him. His address is hard to find, but it should be in this file somewhere. He's a um... pirate. So he moves around a lot.
