An easy thought; a balking execution. A little dog with his head out of the sands, face to face with something far greater than himself. It brought a perch to an ear and a sheepish wag to his tail, but he remained frozen in place - uncertain - wanting, trepidatious with nerves. The world continued around him no matter the shy grasp of his hand into the softness of his shirt. People passed. He wanted to join them, and every new group that broke against his frame and reconvened when crossing ahead was another testament to that desire.

He stood in the center of the main walkway to the central building of Amaforth Academy, and he let his gaze trail up its grand silhouette. The sun caught his and brimmed at his edges, lighting up the boy with eyes wide and wondering. Only one thought kept his feet pinned, bowing his hand when he sought to reach it out and get attention for a question. He bit his lip. His wolfish tail offered a quick bob, sweeping the floor, and it stilled at its lowest point. A sigh, quiet in a breath, and it released the tightness he had let grip his shoulders.

All he had to do was start. He had thrust himself into so many new experiences; he had left Minstrel for Fiore, he had joined the Rune Knights, and now he had accepted the invitation to Amaforth... so what brought him pause? He loved its idea. The thought of meeting so many new people and making so many new memories swelled his heart, and it was all but clear on his sleeve. He was never so bashful. Why, then? So many souls... all in one place... and so much magic.

His vision fell from the Academy to his hand held in the air, and he flexed his fingers without calling a spark from the ether. The softened look he offered it moved right, freeing his other hand from his chest and tracing the beads that encircled its wrist. "Okay," he woofed, soft to himself. "Okay!"

Everyone came here for their own reasons. Everyone had a purpose, just like him. It could only help. His head lifts, ears pinning to it. Okay. ...But where to lead that first step?

Dominic, Priest of Light




Dominic yawned deeply. Between his studies, his responsibilities at the cathedral, and his work as a Rune Knight, he was surprised he has been able to wake up and get out of bed in the morning. Either way, he had planned to stop by the academy in order spend a considerable amount of time researching summoning as well as gnostic text; he could have stayed in and rested for the day, but he couldn't afford to miss this time before he had to return back to the Kardia Cathedral and return to his busy schedule, so he had to take whatever chance he had. Though he was taking time out of his off day to do some form of work, he dressed down into loose robes in order to relieve himself of the tight formalwear.

The priest walked along the main walkway, several people, mostly students, traversed the path, though there was one person who seemed to be standing to the side, possibly promoting a fraternity, or simply lost. As Dominic got closer, he noticed the timid expression right before the tail. Looking about, no one was stopping to check on him, nor was the demi-human reaching out, simply hesitating, "Good day? Do you need any assistance?" The priest walked up to the young demi-human with warm smile to give some form of comfort, hoping it would provide any form of assistance.

It came through a part in the clouds. Something warm and sudden, that relieved the tension of the fist he curled and splayed out his fingers beneath the droplet of sunlight. A kindness, in a kindly voice, and Niko's ears were brought to a full lift in that way only a dog's could when its attention was caught. Less graceful, he gives a little hop of surprise, brought out of his apprehensions by the appearance of a stranger - and strangers were just friends you haven't met, in his limited experience.

He about faces, his tail in a whirlwind, and taps out his feet to find a footing again once the surprise faded and painted over with joy. "Wow! Hello!" There's no reply to the offer for help off the cuff, immediately endeared to the figure in his comfortable robes and the gentleness he exuded. He juts out his hand, his face beaming similarly to the sun that lit his silhouette. "Howdy! Nikolai von Mardt, Rune Knight Private! In general-like. Not really on duty right now! Not that I can't -- how can I - well, may I -- oh, shoot! You're askin' me if I need help?"

His voice was no less an energetic flurry than his canine tail, managing not to stumble over itself even as it comes in an unceasing flow of consciousness. "Well, I'll be darned! I must look like the wolf herd by the sheep right now, Shepherd! Sorry about my wafflin', but you're mighty kind to stop and lend a hand. All I've got in return is a paw! Well - two!!"

Jokes at no expense but the ring of mirth in his tone, taking his other hand to clasp about the man's if his first is taken and shaking enthusiastically. "Oh, right! Me! Fudge. I'm alright 'n all, honest, but I wouldn't mind some direction...!"

"... Do you go here, partn-- er, sir! -- ?" His head finally tilts, taking the chance to get a full look at the man - who must be many years the senior of the 17 year old wolf. He then snaps to a respectful stand.

Dominic Luzero





Dominic, Priest of Light




Dominic couldn't help but brighten his smile, the young demi-human seemed so joyful and adorable to him, even with how he stumbles over his words. For a moment he hesitated, wondering if it would be appropriate or rude to pet him, but with a second thought, he reframed from doing so, he would simply take his hand into his own, "Pleasure to meet you, Nikolai, I'm Dominic Luzero, also a Rune Knight Private" already they had two things in common, their occupation and their warm greetings. The priest didn't expect to see another Rune Knight at the academy, but such an encounter could be beneficial to both of them; Dominic had looked forward to making friends either in ranks or in the Academy.

"I do attend here, though I mostly spend my time in the library to research mythology, lore as well as magical studies" Dominic would copy Nikolai's gesture and place his own off-hand onto the young pup's hand and smile widely. The positivity Nikolai was showing was indeed contagious to the priest, finding his attitude a breath of fresh air, and so, he figured he could take some time from his own schedule to assist his colleague, "So where are you headed to?"

Nikolai
"Ser Luzero, Mister, Sir!" He snaps to a regimental salute, feet flicking together - at the heels, first, as if he might be whisked out of Oz any second by his own whirlwind - and his hand leaving an imprint on his forehead from the sudden force. His mouth hangs slightly ajar in surprise, which quickly gives way to an overwhelming excitement: and it shows, first building in the sparkle of his rose-colored eyes on Dominic and following the current down to close his mouth and lift it in a wide grin. His gaze slants upward, beaming positively, while both ears lift in perches that droop with their own weight at the ends. "Well I'll be darned-and-a-half! I didn't think I'd be so lucky as to run into kin out here! Holy fiddlesticks, sir, real pleasure--"

He thinks better of the casual blaspheme, revoking his 'holy' to replace it with a - "golly!" in its stead. He squeezes giddy hands around the kindly man's own, doing a poor job of restraining the energy that electrified his touch and urged him to shake up and down in that pure sort of ecstasticity. His tail flusters miles a minute, doing well to outlet all of that elation where he moderates his friendliness otherwise. Dominic seemed so pleasant. His very presence was warming, and that stoked a flame in Niko's chest that was only happy to meet any source of light. "Well, I'm not much the bookish type - somethin' about people not wantin' dogs near their homework, you understand -" Playfulness at his expense comes with the poke out of his tongue and a wink, not interrupting his stride, "- but mythology is a mighty neat topic! Much about uh... higher powers and what have you, sir? N-not to jump to assumptions 'n all, but you have that look about you!"

He retracts his hands - eventually - just to rub his neck with a sheepish sort of smile, smoothing down one of his ears. The black-furred appendage whipping about behind him sees no reason to slow. "I was mostly here for the magic studies, too, myself. I'm more a hands-on type'a learner - farm-grown, you see, used to workin' with 'em, namely cropping and the rest but I know a thing or two about handling the beasties and some huntin' --"

He catches himself yapping off, chomping his teeth in a sharp close and loosing a titter of a laugh instead. "Woof. All that aside! Honest, Ser Luzero, I'm not sure where to start." His laughter continues, carefree, and his stance relaxes as they chat. Dominic was upfront about being a ranker like Nikolai himself, but the age of the man as well as the general wisdom he carried himself with earned Nikolai's immediate and unconditional respect.

Dominic Luzero






Dominic, Priest of Light




Dominic chuckled as the demi-human shook his hand with great enthusiasm and it made the priest joyfully excited as well, but he kept himself from giving into his desire to play with Nikolai and rubbing his belly, he had to remember that the young pup is a Rune Knight and is deserving of respect. But as Dominic looked into the puppydog eyes, he couldn't help but feel his heart warm. The way he spoke, the way his tail wag and the way he was cautious of using the word 'holy', it all seemed so adorable to the priest.

"Well you are right to assume, Sir Nikolai, I am a man of the cloth, follower of Illumin" As soon Dominic's hand was released, he would pull out his rosary from his pocket to show his faith since he wasn't wearing his typical white tab around his neck, "I suppose I can't hide who I am, even if I dress down for leisure" he chuckled, "Well then, if you're more hands-on, then I suppose I could guide you to the training hall, they are designed to allow casters to practice their magic, please follow me" Dominic would start making his way towards one of the large building structures, "Everyone has their way of learning, some are more of theory and others are more of practice, tell me, what kind of magic do you use?"

The priest had no issue in deviating from his original course to help someone in need, especially one who was as adorable as Nikolai; the demi-human's cute demeanor was both in his appearance and his personality. The day wasn't dreary, it was warm, but silent to the priest and his only expected excitement would have been reading any classified books that he would have found in the library, but with this excited pup, he felt he may end up having a more energetic day.

Nikolai
There was a surprisingly contemplative moment from the sprite of a mutt - he stills from his bouncing to a gentle sway, regarding Dominic curiously and quite obviously hanging off his every word. He hums in his throat - akin to the quiet growl of an inquisitive dog - and the rosary catches his eyes, which shift imperceptibly in response. He slows more. One ear flits back against his head while the other perches, and then follows suit in a thoughtful droop. A hand twitches over to his wrist, trailing his gaze from Dominic to the prayer beads Niko himself wore as a bracelet.

He's not one for thinking through his actions. He lifts his arm out between them, running perpendicular to Dominic's showcased rosary, and his hand turns within the light to catch it along his own alternating red & white beads. "'m not -- well, in all respect, sir, I've never thought of myself as much the religious sort, neither, but --," he appears to struggle to find the words, pulling his lips into his mouth and then rolling them out with his tongue and a dry laugh. "My ma, y'know. So... I get it, I do. I'm glad it... helps! You, too, I mean. Woof." His chuckling comes lighter until he giggles, dropping his arm and stepping up to follow after Dominic with a brighter smile. "Shucks, sir, I just meant to say you're among friendly-kind!"

A hop-step, both arms locking behind his back and bringing the beads out of view again as he bounces with each movement - tail bobbing along with him, swaying occasionally as it catches the breeze and then faster whenever Dominic speaks to him. Heart on his every motion. "Wow, Ser Luzero, thanks! I know it can't be easy to take time out'ta your day like this: I'uno how often you get to get away to come to Amaforth, so I don't wanna take too much of it up! But I will gratefully accept your guidance 'n all!"

He misses a step in his excitement, stumbling shortly, and he catches himself with the wave of his arms and an innocent glance cast the priest's way. "Um... my magic, though? Eh... it's a little ruff." He tries to make a joke, smiling sheepishly, but there's a nervousness in how he smooths his white mane back. "That's to say... Well, what's yours like, kin?" He wasn't so much trying to change the subject, even if it looked that way - he was pawing for a sounding off point, struggling as he was to find that immediate comfort in discussing his own.

Dominic Luzero





Dominic, Priest of Light




Dominic initially wasn't sure what the pup was hiding, though he didn't wish to pry. But once Nickolai worked up the courage to present his wrist, the priest's eyes lit up with excitement, red and white prayer beads fit comfortably on his wrist, and how protective he seemed to be of it, it held value as they are expected to be. "Indeed they do help" he did his best to calm himself as to not to startle the young man. He understood, many people are brought into faith or spirituality through their family, even if the faith isn't taken up, something is carried on for the sake of a mother's love; Dominic thought of his mother and grandmother. For that moment, he couldn't help himself, he would reach out and place his hand upon Nickolai's white hair, slowly tussling it while rubbing his thumb against his bang, "You have such a good, heart, Sir Nickolai" he smiled warmly.

They would eventually reach the front of one of the buildings, "You don't have to worry about taking up my time, its always a pleasure to meet someone new, especially one of a warm heart such as yours" Entering through the double doors, they would find themselves entering what seemed to be a training hall, it was large like a gymnasium with several wooden mannequins displayed about, the floor was covered in matts for protection and on the far side were a small amount of tables with several books that were left, "My magic? Well I specialize in summoning" he turned to smile at Nickolai as he made his way to the table. He would place down his satchel and pull out a notepad and book, "Here, its pretty quiet since they opened up a new training area, so we'll have peace and quiet; would you like to practice your magic? There's no judgment here" he said as he leaned against the table and gesture to the training dummies.

Nikolai
He blinked away something new that sparkled in his eyes. It was brought with the hand on his head, a touch he didn't shy from but instead rose to meet - unconsciously - with a little tip-tap of his feet and a rumble. An ear slanted under the petting, urging a half-close to Niko's gaze as he squinted at the older man with rapid wags. It lit up the rosy brightness focused squarely on Dominic: the priest's own interest in Niko's bracelet warming a shyness to his cheeks and a fluffier shape to his ears & tail, pleased.

And he thought, then, maybe the prayer bestowed on these beads did reach someone's ears. He was enraptured in all but a moment, glowing from the praise, and had to blink a few more times until his vision cleared of their gentle wetness and he awkwardly coughed away his excitement and embarrassment in kind. "G-geez, partner. I'm not all'at... well, frick, you're one to talk...! You're at - uh, it's like - and  -- you're just all warm and stuff!" He shakes this off, rubbing his hands over his own head and making a mess of his already mused scruff. "You're real nice!! Thank you!!! Woof." He exclaims the 'woof' to center himself again in a big breath, letting the flurry of his energized tail dispel the shades of red he had turned.

He followed Dominic like a puppy at his heels, no longer burdened by his nerves for the school or wanting for the attention of the people that passed him -- the kindly priest had earned his full regard. Dominic had big, wide, cherry eyes trailing after him; and a blur of white & black that made up the obvious tail and its interest. He only looked away to take in the scene of the room they stepped into, lagging behind with casual flicks of his ears and an 'o' to his lips. "Yikes, that's big. I did my stretches in a barn -- pretty different out here, eh?" Another little joke and anecdote both, his favorite way to segue. "Less mice, though. What? No accommodations  for the animals?"

A toothy, playful grin, but Dominic speaking calls him back to rapport without effort. He watched his - new - older friend settle in with a hint of confusion, his head tilted in the way a dog's did when faced with a curious noise. Earlift. "I've heard some'a summoning before, but I've never seen nothin' like that! It's like... makin' constructs, but feeding them mana so they keep goin', right? And sometimes they can talk and stuff! That'd be so cool! Like a friend you make outta magic." He beams. "Not that different from your everyday friend, then, huh? If you ask me! Hahaha. Well, I'd --"

He's stalled. And stalls, beside. A little bit more. "Oh, uh, my magic? You sure you don't wanna summon a pal instead?" He titters a little, stepping between his feet in tamps of the mat he was standing on. He looks at the dummy and then down at his hand, curling it - and his bracelet comes into view, and he clenches his fingers, and looks back at Dominic. If the nice man was really askin'...
