A pink-haired girl that looked about eleven sat in a back corner of the cafe. Her legs didn't quite reach the floor from the chair so she swung them back and forth. Her head was inclined as if she were looking at the table, but she glanced at the people and how they milled about. She had always been intrigued by humans interacted.
Most, not even the magic users and all their sensitivity to aura, paid any attention to her. She seemed to be completely human as she had mastered the art of bending her aura to her will and making it seem she was what she wasn't.

"You come here often?" a voice asked as it approached behind her.

Adina's head snapped up as she looked to see who was talking to her.

A young man, human in basically every way except his aura was there. "Not easy being ignored, is it?"

I was just observing, Adina thought. Some are so easy to fool.
"I'm just waiting for my onii-chan," she said. She was lying though it'd be hard for anybody to tell.

"Your onii-chan. Really? What's his name?"

Could he have seen through my bluff? Her face nor aura didn't show what she was thinking.
"Moril."

Who is this that he can see through me? I've spent melennia honing this...
"About noon." She checked the clock; it was 20 minutes till. "I'm visiting home. I started my journey about four months ago in Kanto."

"I live here. I went to Kanto to start my journey. I know about they gym and Contest system here, but there just isn't the opportunity for travel here as there is in a full region. My onii-chan's pretty silent and secretive, but he's kind. He does a lot of researching around here but he isn't well-known in the research community. He's an independent field researcher."

"All right," Adina said under her breath. Her voice was a lot more mature than it had been. "Who are you? How can you tell I'm lying?"

"When someone lies, their heart and breathing speeds up. I'm a special earthbender that I can detect the vibrations from that."

"Guess I haven't spent enough time working on that," Adina said.

"Though you were coming up with pretty good covers. They just couldn't work on me."

Adina smiled. "I've had a long time to master my reactions."

"Maybe, but a mastered earthbender waits and listens for the right moment to strike."

"So, what were you doing here?"

Post by Kiki on Feb 13, 2009 11:09:51 GMT -5
"Just observing. Humans have always intrigued me."

"I was observing, too. It helps me get stronger."

"Their little quirks amuse me sometimes. Plus, it's been a long time since I've been around so many humans."
