Tsubasa watches the water stream down in ribbon of glimmering blue, splashing into the pure, crystal pool of water below it. The sound of the water from multiple waterfalls echoes around the room, bouncing and filling into every single corner and hallow space that he can't see without moving all around. He found it actually quite relaxing in all honesty. Tsubasa has always loved the sound, appearance, and feel of water.
He leans farther back into the stone walls surrounding him, pleasuring slightly in the way the coldness felt against his back through his thin clothing. The instant he arrived here, he knew there weren't any demons sense there was none of their presences looming around the world's supernatural energies, but he just couldn't draw himself away from the damp, cool atmosphere the center of these ruins has to offer. It's just the freshness here...the coolness and dimness of this place...is...amazing... A smile spreads across his lips and he closes his eyes, leaning his head back against the stone.

Lucy has heard of this sacred waterfall but she never got a chance to check it out. She twisted her baseball cap around and studied the land. Most days she wanted to be alone. Especially here. She walked up the steps to the waterfall mystified by the color and beauty. Oblivious to the rest of the world, she sat down by the water. Lucy stared into the pool watching her reflection change by the waterfall. Lucy dipped her hand into the water making her reflection ripple. She scooped up the water and washed some dirt off her face. She took off her hat and let her hair hang down which is a rare occasion for her.

Sudden and unexpected tapping of footsteps from another source fills Tsubasa's ears, making him open his eyes and glance over in the directions. What's that? Or more like, who's that...? Curiosity overtaking him, he pushes himself up and saunters toward the sound.
A girl fills his vision, leaning over and running her hand through the water. He watches as she rolls herself back up and takes off her cap, long,. pale blonde hair up in a bun and a few escaped strands resting over her carelessly. He smiles, interested by the newcomer to such an isolated place. "Hello there, Miss. Who are you?"

Lucy turns her head at a sharp pace to this new voice. "Uhm I'm Lucy," she stutters stand up putting on her hat again. "Who might you be?" Lucy asked studying the stranger. Truly she craved to be alone but it's been awhile since someone has talked to her and loneliness was creeping up on her. Lucy held out her hand with a crooked smile.

Tsubasa keeps his smile on while watching the girl notice his existence, seeming surprised by his sudden greeting.
"Uhm I'm Lucy."
His smile grows, trying to give a sense of comfort and security to the stuttering girl. Lucy, huh? I didn't mean to frighten her. My question is, what is she doing way out here in these ruins?
"Who might you be?"
Tsubasa's eyes widen slightly at the recognition that he has yet to introduce himself to the young miss and softens his eyes at her. He eyes her as she hold out her hand, hesitating slightly before extending his own hand out to take hold of hers at the small worry that she may break at any moment from her emotions. He grasps onto her hand snugly and gives it a short but strong shake.
"My name is Tsubasa. Tsubasa Eien~" He punctuates with a slight tilt of his head and a smile.

Hm Tsubasa. It’s different from what Lucy was used to. “Nice name.” What he was doing out here? These were ruins for gosh sake. Her attitude changed from frighten to protective as her eyes looked questionably at the new guy. Her arms lay crossed her chest and shifted weight to her right side making her right hip stick out slightly. “Where are you from?” As soon as the words left her lips she regretted the hateful tone she portrayed. Make Friends Lucy. Biting her bottom lip she muttered an apology under her breath.

Tsubasa smiles back at her when she complimented his name, not failing to take notice of the sudden shift of attitude in her eyes. His grin falls and he blinks in confusion, wondering what could've possible switched over her mood so easily.
“Where are you from?”
He's a little taken aback from the sudden question, but softens his gaze when seeing her reaction and hearing her mutter an apology. He giggles and smiles back at her again.
"I'm not from this world. My home world is a world known as Nihon."

"I'm not from this world. My home world is a world known as Nihon."
Nihon? Intresting. And another world? Even more interesting. “So what might a person like you be doing in a place like this?” Lucy turned to the water staring at the many waterfalls. “I mean it’s beautiful in all but this place is called ruins for a reason right?” Shifting from one foot to the other she judged telling her reasons of why she was her. I’ll wait till he asks. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and smiled. Her hands slid into her pockets and fiddled with her pocket knife. Protection only. You don't know this guy yet. He could be good. You never know

“So what might a person like you be doing in a place like this?”
He smiles at her and listens to her speak again. Nodding, he turns his attention toward the falling water, sparkling in different ways with each move he makes.
"It really is beautiful isn't it...? It's the whole reason why I haven't left this world considering there's nothing here but desert and a town that holds nothing I'm looking for..." he smiles at her, noticing her fingers move around her pocket. "This is just the world that my magic happened to bring me to, I didn't choose it myself but I really am glad that this is where I was brought." He takes a step toward the pool of water, getting down on one knee and dipping a hand into the cool liquid blue. "What is a young miss like you doing here? After all it's called ruins for a reason, yes?" he asks with a bit of a smirk.

Lucy turned her expression away from the stranger and the beautiful water. The feeling of ashamed washed over her. There was no way that she wanted to answer this. “I heard that it was a good place to think. I like being alone.” Plus I’m not really wanted anywhere. Stealing stuff because she can’t support herself isn’t the best thing to say at a time like this. Her face changed into sadness because she didn’t feel like thinking about her parents or anyone else of her former life. To creative for being in the Luna family they all said.
Wait did he say magic? As in magic that transported him here? “Wait magic? As in real magic?” Lucy’s eyes were dead serious turning back to Tsubasa. She was considered a freak for even thinking she might have it, now someone said it like it wasn’t even a big deal. Her expression was as if this simple thing could be taken away at any moment. “You aren’t lying, right?” Her hands were shaking but clenched in a tight fist. She didn’t like fighting or at least starting a fight but too many lies were in her past that emotions weren’t stable. As if she could break and this is what made her not trust people. A person can be smart but oh so naive was her lesson throughout all of her life.

He draws his hand closer to him, water spilling out of his cupped hand and slipping through some cracks in the hold. Her voice sounds from behind him and he peers over his shoulder to her, surprised at the change in her expression. What's wrong with her? Did I do or say something I shouldn't have...?
“Wait magic? As in real magic?”
He cocks an eyebrow at her, not expecting such a question to lave her mouth.
“You aren’t lying, right?”
His eyes narrow in question. "What? Why would I lie about something like that? Of course I'm talking about real magic. Unless, you're one of those people who don't believe in magic?" he questions in curiosity.

Don’t believe in magic? How could I not. “I believe but nobody I have ever met has.” She retracted her fighting stance and went back to the normal position of hands in pocket, eyes skeptical about everything, and a cold look. The only thing was this time she held her knife in her hands tightly. “Even where I come from magic is told to us as a fairy tale. Never as a reality.” Could maybe he teach me something? The thought only stayed for a while. She couldn’t even think about it. Who would want to teach a fugitive? She was hoping that maybe he would pick up on how apprehensive I was and try to help. It’s been awhile since she even tried talking about her family. Let alone to her family. They never wanted her. They were good with the three kids that were perfect angels and didn’t think outside the box but Lucy didn’t mind. She wanted adventure and maybe this new person was just what she needed. “So what can you do with this magic you have?”

“I believe but nobody I have ever met has.”
He smirks and chuckles to himself, nodding at the words. "I've had my fair share of non-believers...I meet them all the time in the worlds I travel to." Refocusing his attention on her, he gives her a gentle smile. "Humans don't tend to believe in what they can't hear or see... It's something I've learned over time through my travels."
Watching her remain tense confuses him, making him wonder what he could have possible done to draw such an intense emotional change from the girl. It's only when she speaks up again that knocks him out of his confusion, surprising him a bit.
“So what can you do with this magic you have?”
His grin returns and he finally pushes him back up to stand. "Not much... The only magic I possess is the ability to transcend dimensions...and that takes a lot of energy out of me. I can use the magic, but the instant I arrive in a new world, so much energy is taken from my body to execute the magic that I have to sleep and rest the first full day I arrive in a new world." He turns to face her more, tilting his head kindly. "Even though I'm a demon hunter, I'm really only good with martial arts and hand guns. I don't use any of the magical artifacts some demon hunters use because I don't know how to... Sorry if I extinguished your hopes..."

Another thing Lucy wanted was extinguished. “It’s alright.” Her mouth said something but her heart said another. It hurt with another disappointment. She tried to keep the same expression though she felt defeated. At least he was trying to be kind. I should do the same. Trying to change the subject Lucy said, “Demon hunter? Well I have never heard of that job.” A faint smile was even present on her face. Be kind Lucy. “But I never knew how to even keep a job for more than a few months.” Her hand flew to her mouth. These wee the moments she wanted to curse but her beliefs stood firm. She said too much. Or at least that’s what she thought. I hope he can't figure out that having no job meas no money which in turn means she had to steal stuff she needed. "Forget I said that," was all she could muster after her slip up.

Tsubasa watched as her face seemed to fall in disappointment and he suddenly felt guilty. He felt bad that he couldn't do something for her to make her feel at least somewhat happy. However, it seemed the more she spoke, the more her expressions kept failing her and falling.
“Demon hunter? Well I have never heard of that job.”
He nods slowly, still not sure what to say to her.
“But I never knew how to even keep a job for more than a few months.”
He watched her slap her hand up to her mouth, obviously shocked at what words spilled out of her mouth. Blinking a few times, he's able to absorb her feelings of discomfort on the subject she just brought up and complies to her request before she even has to speak it. He shrugs, turning back to the water and sitting down on the stone edge next to the pools of water.
"You'd think it'd be a job of glory...being able to get rid of all these demons that are supposed to be evil...but in all honesty, I hate the job..." he hides his face from hers by moving it away from her vision again. "...It's grotesque... I really don't like taking lives if it's not necessary...but when I have to carry out my job...I feel like it's just senseless killing..."
