She smiled widely taking in the air and smells of the american foods. " This is nothing like back home." She was right the place was crowded just like home but there were no good places to shop. She just saw the generic clothes, Areopostle Hollister, and forever21 were some of the stores at the for front. She spotted a Hot topic and decided to head there. She had never been to a Hot Topic and wanted to see what it had in store. Her mind was skeptic and she felt something was going to go wrong when she stepped into the store. What the bloody hell did I just walk into? She thought in her head. The place was dark and screaming music was blasting through the speakers. This wasnt okay to her. She strolled around not really paying attention to where she was going. More or less she was looking up at the random strange things she wasn't accustomed to. Everything was lace and cartoons. She grumbled until she looked up at the very top and found a hello kitty back pack. "Kawaii" She giggled in a sort of high pitched voice. This was exactly what she was looking for. Something to remind her of home. Her short stature bought her to the mad hualt. She snarled and cursed under her breath in Italian. Jumping up and down trying to get more height ever time to get the only thing she really desired in this gothic themed store. [/ul][/SIZE] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TAG:None!

Derek was bored. He was even willing to go to the nearby mall. The mall. People like him did not go to the mall. He was disgusted with himself. But he couldn't very well stay on the University Grounds with his current boredom, he was going to bore the students to death because of his commanding presence gift. Sometimes he often thought of it as a curse, but he knew it wasn't. He actually enjoyed it a bit, if you didn't find that conceited at all. But, it wasn't like he could very well help it. But he did not want to bore poor students to death, and the only way that would ever succeed was to make his escape. He couldn't very well go to the beach, he didn't want to go and besides he was on a streak. He didn't want to change out of his formal work clothes just yet. Not just to go to the beach. And the club. Oh, he would have enjoyed to go there, get a few drinks, but not now. Maybe during the weekend. Yeah, that might be a bit better suited for him and his schedule. The last time he had been there he had seen a couple of students. At least, that what he thought he saw, after all he was a bit tipsy at the time and couldn't really stand up straight, never mind remember how one of his students looked like.
Either way, that only left the mall. He wasn't very excited, but there were a bunch of shops that he had never been in there, and he might as well explore them. It wasn't like any of the students were going to be there, so he could go to any shop he wanted to without being too embarrassed. So he chose a store, a random store, and he was going to *explore*. Whatever. The first thing he noticed was the music. He was completely unaware of what store he had walked into, but now that he was actually observing the items, he noticed he walked into a typical teenage gothic shop. Great, the first store he entered and he picked this one? What a genius. He was about to turn to leave as a high pitched squeal of someone saying "cute" in Japanese caught his attention. Someone spoke Japanese here? That was certainly interesting. Suddenly curious, Derek went to hunt down the voice. Or the squeal. Or whatever. He was not completely oblivious to the music (which was a very very huge feat, it was blasting very loudly), trying to find out where this person was.
Another foreign language. Italian. And they were not pretty words either. But... he did find the speaker. Jumping up and down. "Non completamente macellaio la lingua italiana. E 'una bella lingua e mi odio per poter essere usato solo per parolacce. (Don't completely butcher the Italian language. It is a beautiful language and I would hate for it to be used only for profanity.)" Of course, perfect Italian left his mouth. As he said this he looked up. Oh, so she was trying to get that... that Hello Kitty bag? Derek could easily reach it and pulled it down. "Qui. (Here)"
The girl was asian. Japanese? Chinese? Definitely Asian, though. But he did not want to ask too many questions. Still, he could think them, could he not? Was she attending the university? If she was, perhaps he should not have went straight to speaking fluent Italian at first. He certainly didn't look Italian, so he couldn't lie and say that he was an Italian person and knew the language. But it all depended on her reaction to his words.

[/img] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[/B][/COLOR]"(What ever I use Italian for everything else its actually my favorite language to speak. But whatever cursing just sounds better in Italian). Her Italian was perfect and fluent just was his. Maybe it was stupid to switch languages at a dime in front of a person. How did she even know if he went to university or not. Even if he did go to the university was it a safe thing to do. Of course she hadn't read the welcome Email going over the rules. "Baka(Stupid)" She muttered in Japanese referring to herself. The boy held out the bag and she giggled taking it. "This is so kawaii" She examined the bag closer this time. It was hello kitties face filled with cotton and a little zipper on the back. "This is going to be my new back pack for school." she then exclaimed. She blushed softly thinking herself rude for not saying thank you "Grazie" she bowed softly blending to cultures together; she was good for doing that.

Derek tried to hide a smile. If she could Japanese and Italian, then there was a very good chance that she attended the University. Or was going to attend. Really, Derek had never seen this girl around before. But, she was getting a backpack, was she not? Perhaps she was just on her way. To the university, of course. But... he wanted to be sure before he outright asked. Because, well, he hated being wrong. And if he was wrong, oh the embarrassment he would be facing. He really needed to devise a plan, some kind of plan, to get her to reveal that she was a demigod or a gifted like him. But she must be on her guard, as he was. She must be. Or else he would have revealed something silly about herself. Derek grinned in his head. It was a challenge he was going to take. Figure out if the girl was going to the University.
But first to reply to her. In Italian, of course. "Personalmente penso che maledire suona meglio in spagnolo, ma non posso cambiare tutto quello che pensi (I personally think cursing sounds better in Spanish, but I can't change anything you think)." Then he switched to French. "Cependant. Nous devrions nous pre`senter. Je m'appelle Derek. Je travalle a` l'école pre`s d'ici." If she replied in French, or replied at all and understood it, then it pretty much confirmed that either she was really good with languages, or she had the same gift as him. Hopefully it was the latter, or he had just made a fool of himself. He'd have such a great time trying to explain why he knew so many languages, and yet he was only twenty three.
As she spoke again, he found that she could speak English (yes? she was speaking english, right?) as well as Japanese and Italian. Next thing he knew, she'd probably know a language he didn't. Like... Okay, no language that he didn't necessarily learn came up to his mind. Oh well. What did it matter? "A new backpack for school. May I ask which school? I might teach there." Say the University. But Derek knew that no sane attendee would say the name of the school if they had no idea if the person they were talking to knew of it.

Yuri giggled. She figured he had the same powers as her. Maybe it would come to her advantage maybe it wouldn't. He spoke in french. French was never her best language so she replied in a traditional Japanese way "wha.?" her eye brow raised pretending to be confused. In her head her wheels were turning slowly trying to figure out the boys next move. Her had his guard up and so did she but who wouldn't if you were gifted or a Demi-God.
She then replied to his next question after a slight hesitation "I attend a university on a scholarship here in this area" technically she hadn't lied to him at all. It was true she was attending an university he didn't ask the name just the school and in her mind that mention the level of school. "what school do you teach at and the subject then I can tell you if I go there and have you as a teacher" she shot back stifling a slight giggle

Oh, this was not good. He had pretty much given away his position. He just had to speak french, now didn't he? A subtle change of language was enough to set a person off, and it seemed like this girl as genuinely confused. He quickly composed himself. After all, he could just shrug this off for something else... if she wasn't gifted or going to attend the university. He was setting his stakes a bit high today, and he was regretting it. Now. He couldn't possibly take back his actions, though he could attempt to cover them up. But, it was very simple French. Someone taking the first course of French could have understood at least some of it. Especially "ecole" or "je m'appelle". So, maybe she wasn't an omni-linguism gifted person. Oh well. But it was more than likely now. If only... if only he could be absolutely sure. One hundred percent sure. "Sorry. I seemed to have gotten a bit carried away. Let us please speak in English? I am more comfortable that way. I'm Derek. I didn't seem to catch yours." Then again, she didn't say it. He was still in a bit of a formal attitude, but when was he ever not so?
No, he couldn't recall ever being informal to someone the age of his students' since he had gotten the teaching position at Atheneta. He wasn't about to change that any time soon. But, at least he was not wearing casual clothes, in case she ever did see him after today, or attended the university. He would be in a tight little hole if that happens. Luckily, it didn't, it won't.
He raised his eyebrows. A scholarship? Alright then, she couldn't possibly go to Atheneta... a scholarship? Because if he recalled correctly the students got a letter telling them they were gifted or a demi-god and they attended. For free, of course, because of the lurking danger they may attract to unsuspecting humans. But... then again she could be playing with words, a letter to attend to a school away from home could 'technically' be a scholarship, if you looked at it in the right way. "A scholarship? Interesting. What kind of scholarship did you apply for? Sorry if you feel like I'm prying... even I feel like I'm prying, but I'm curious." If, indeed she did have a scholarship. It would be a bit hard to bend the truth if the scholarship you had was for being a gifted. Actually, he had no idea if she could or could not. Moving on.
And then he found he was in a situation he couldn't back out of. She asked a question. And he might have to outright lie to her if he didn't want her to know about Atheneta. Though, it wasn't possibly that she did know about it, humans couldn't go to Atheneta, no where knew it. They were oblivious to it. But... it couldn't be the only school around this area. There had to be at least another one for normal teenagers. However, for Derek, who was definitely not one to observe all the land surrounding the University school wise, he couldn't possibly know. "Well. It's just a nearby University. You should know the name if you reside anywhere near it. You'll figure it out eventually, everyone does. As for what subject I teach? I thought that would be a bit obvious, with our foreign language exchanges. I teach a bit of Italian. Some French. Little bits of other languages too, if a student is willing to learn. If any foreign exchange students come to the University and doesn't speak English, I try my best to try to teach it to them." A bit too much, but he didn't reveal any incriminating information against himself. "I doubt you'll have me as a teacher, though. You speak fluent Italian."
