Zunza watched as Anna had her cheek stroked by Ulv, his eyes glaring at her in anger as a light green outline
of energy appeared around him. Not
of a spiritual type, but
of a psionic nature as small cracks appeared in his laurel charm as his psionic energy seemingly flared due to his emotional state. This effect lasted for a few seconds before Zunza regained his composure, not allowing
the woman to get
the best
of him, and instead became fascinated by
the different energy readings from
the harbor. He had met several beings over his months spent in
the Earth realm and he could tell that there were more species here than he had ever became aware
of in his time here. He allowed that to distract him, but not before making a mental note to repair
the charm once he had time to do so. After all, without
the charm his immense psionic energy could just spill out unabated. Such a thing could be dangerous and draw people to his location, after all he appeared quite weak now due to
the effects
of charm, but in reality
the depths
of his power were far more deep than they appeared to be.
In truth he had never flexed his power to its maximum and he never truly inteded to do so as he didn't know what reason he would have to do so. After all, at this point he was a happy man, and had a beautiful wife to take care
of. There was no need for him to show why he was
the nuclear option
of the West and why he was viewed as their best kept secret weapon. Hence
the charm and hence his reluctance to fight. Well, reluctance being
the operative word as Ulv was pressing his buttons by openly flirting with a woman that had proposed to him moments earlier. He decided to focus on
the now, worrying about
the charm could be something for later even though a bit more
of his power was seeping out than before, he wouldn't appear to be any stronger than Anna at
the least. He noted she had grown stronger, it was simple to note from an experienced magus to see a blossoming magus, and
the differences in their potential and active psionic energy. He had a feeling
of pride well up inside
of him that only a teacher could feel, but it was more than that he supposed, it was
the feeling
of a man looking at someone he deeply cared for growing stronger. Pride and love.
The comment from Ulv about
the sexing type
of friend, worried Zunza entirely too much about
the current situation, and he began to wonder just what type
of person that this Arianda was. Or better yet what type
of person seperated their friends into such categories. He decided to not let his first impression
of Arianda be dictated by a person who was openly trying to get under his skin and adjusted himself to
the best
of his ability. He still looked a mess, but at least he looked like an attempt had been made. First impressions were after all extremely important. Arianda seemed normal enough from first glance, but there was something about
the energy she had that raised some questions. Rude questions that would detract from their first meeting and not something he truly wished to embark on. It was no place for a guest to be asking things
of a host or to bother with petty questions such as what species she was.
"
I suppose I will go first, Lady Arianda. I am Zunza Lowellen, Magus of Imagination, and husband of Anna Lebenstein...", as he said Anna's name he reached over and tenderly brought her into a side hug with his arm not holding his sacred weapon. "
I do hate to impose upon you, but Ulv did say that you would perhaps have a place for my wife and I to dwell in for some time till a proper house could be built for us to dwell in. I do not wish to cause you any undue problems by asking for lodging.", Zunza was genuine in his way
of speech, allowing himself to be more rational than he had been with Ulv, and then followed up that statement with a bow. "
But we need a place to stay, I'm sure that Anna and I will cause you no problems...you have my word as a Magus as such.", he said solemnly while still bowing.
