Pure oddity...

[Dimitris]

_______________________________________________________________

Odd, weird, creepy...only three of the many words that everyone seemed to use when describing Dimitris and if anyone came upon him at this moment they would probably tell you exactly the same. He sat upon a rock, the tip of his thumb resting in his mouth as he stared off at nothing. Sitting at his side a large pygmy panther sat absolutely still staring at the same nothingness as his companion though his tail twitched back and forth behind him in contentment.

The way he sat so still he almost looked like the statue that stood in front of the village of the previous avatar but the small up and down motion of his chest betrayed otherwise. The silence that had surrounded them was suddenly broken as he snatched the thumb from his mouth throwing the hand forward, pointer finger outstretched his voice raised in triumph, "I've got it." he declared and even his animal companion jumped at the sudden movement a growl emanating from its throat though it seemed quite used to such sudden activity from him.

Eying Dimitris, Ren cocked his furred head and watched as he rose upon the rock, spinning childishly upon it and when he made eye contact with the creature he quickly bent earning another flinch from the creature, his eyes staring into the panthers, "Yes?" he asked curiously, a silly grin plastered on his face and he sat, nodding his head as though the panther was actually talking to him and jumping to his feet again he raised his hands, "Yes, you are absolutely right." and even the panther cocked its head to the side in confusion at him.

Somersaulting off the rock Dimitris landed easily, kicking up a flurry of dust as he did so, capturing it in his grasp and floating it around himself absently before frolicking off from the rock he had been perched on, a baffled pygmy panther looking on before getting up and trotting off after Dimitris in his looping pattern that he was weaving.

Practice had gone extremely well today. The girls' energy was up, as was their motivation - for reasons Suki was dubious of, but then again she couldn't care less - and this showed in their movements, which were clarified and extremely beautiful to watch. Suki hadn't bothered to run home and change out of her Kyoshi Warrior uniform, which was a bit heavy. So she was still clad head to toe with the silken green dress, and her face was made up with the striking face paint. It was pretty easy to spot a Kyoshi Warrior, that was for sure.
Suki felt jubilant, but oddly enough, despite her outrageously happy mood, she felt the need to be by herself, alone. She wanted to roam through the woods and think to herself; possible evasive maneuvering or more likely offensive strategy. Like all the girls said, Suki's mind was almost always on ways to make them better. While most of the time they saw it - as far as Suki knew - as a helpful thing, something that made them more powerful, occasionally they grew annoyed. But Suki was first and foremost a free spirit; controlled by no one and happy to live her life without complications. But being a Kyoshi Warrior made her happy, and she put pretty much everything into it. Plus, they were the warriors of the island. The people keeping everyone else safe. It was as important as anything that they be prepared. Just in case.
And though her uniform was beginning to weigh more on her, she began to jog, and then finally sprint towards the woods; she loved to be within them. She felt safe and covered, as though a giant quilt were protecting her from the world. Smiling, she closed her eyes, throwing her head back as she ran, allowing her feet to lead her instead. Hardly anyone she knew came out here; most people in Kyoshi didn't particularly like to be alone. Practically all of them were extremely social people.
She was just beginning to get into her possible evasive maneuvering strategies when she heard footsteps running her way, in front of her. She opened her eyes, just managing to scurry out of the way before they collided. She stopped, blinking, breathing heavily, and eyed the boy she'd almost ran over.
She'd seen him a few times around Kyoshi, but they'd never technically met. She didn't even know his name. The panther traveling with him wasn't a surprise either, from what she'd seen it was pretty much always with him. She frowned, but walked over to him.
"Hi," She said, inarticulate. Most people tended to stay away from this boy, they'd classified him as an oddity. Why was that? What made him so different? Or was he completely normal, and people just jumped to conclusions. "Sorry about nearly running into you," She continued, a smile turning the corners of her mouth, "I didn't know anyone but me ever came out here." They weren't quite to the woods yet, but it was up ahead. Pausing, she extended a palm, wearily, "Suki," She introduced herself, and then, not being able to help herself, she eyed the feline. "Is he friendly?" She wondered aloud, lacing her fingers together in front of her. For now, her evasive and offensive maneuverings were forgotten. She was preoccupied. She was curious.



[Heh, hope it's alright that I acted out them meeting. Wasn't sure what to do, or if he's in the woods or anything, but ehhh....]

His eyes moved up ahead of himself and though he saw the figure he continued in his movements though he soon realized that he eyes were not open at all and in fact they seemed to be on a perfect little collision course. Soon enough her eyes opened and she evaded him with ease, turning to apologize to him but really he didn't care. Catastrophe avoided, no harm done. Quirking his head to the side a bit he leveled his gaze upon her, a blank stare on his face as she stopped talking. In a sudden moment he seemed to snap out of whatever reverie he was in and register what she had just said. "Dimitris. This is Ren." he said roughly running his hand across the panthers head though he didn't seem to mind at all. "He is friendly if i tell him to be." he said and then leveled his gaze upon the panther completely, "Be nice to Suki here you hear." he said sternly waggling a finger at the panther and you could almost catch the creature roll its eyes if you'd watched carefully.

Returning his gaze to Suki and allowed a lopsided smile to caress his features. This is the first person that had talked to him in a very long time and by the size of the island he was sure she must know about him....every body knew about him and every body stayed far away from him for the most part. Something stirred inside of him and he had a funny feeling in his stomach though he wasn't sure what it was. He hadn't eaten anything out of the ordinary....what was it then.

Suki blinked slightly; for a moment it seemed as though he were in his own little world, completely oblivious of anything that she had said. She almost wished she could be so careless, having not a worry in the world. Almost, but not quite. It was hard to imagine not doing the things she did every day.
