As he was climbing up the black-grey steps of his tower, Numair Saliman, suddenly felt a presence on his magical powers. Turning he saw that he was being followed by a rather large smokey grey tom cat.

"Daine I know thats you. I can feel your powers." The black haired mage stated, secretly elated that she was following him. When he got no response he once again turned and was startled when the tabby jumped, throwing him off balance and bringing them both to the floor.

"Daine!" Numair shouted on the way down trying desperately not to fall on top of her.

"Why in Mirtho's name would you do that?!" Numair yelled exasperated, "I could have crushed you!" As a response the grey tabby rubbed up against Numair stifling his anger in moments.

"Ok, ok i'll calm down." Numair said unraveling himself from the floor grabbing Daine on his way up, "but no more surprises." In response the Daine cat rubbed her face up against Numair's swarthy one, causing the lanky mage to blush.

"Now, I think it's time for some lessons. Go to your room and i'll meet you up on the roof." As he said this the cat changed into a raven and flew towards the open door entering with a squawk.

When he saw the door shut, Numair sighed and started once again climbing up the stone stairs. "What's wrong with me..." Numair stated to himself shaking his head, "How could I do this to her. " Realizing he had reached the roof, Numair walked to the edge and stared down at the immense lands before him. When he felt a hand on his shoulder he turned and instantly his heart jumped. There before him stood Daine, dressed normally for herself but to Numair she looked like a god. ' Goddess she's beautiful' Numair thought to himself as he looked her over. Noticing how the navy blue of her top complimented her smokey blue eyes.

"Numair?"

Snapping back to reality Numair quickly responded with a crooked grin, "You ready for your lessons today?"
