Rajih could see the pained fire light in the other boys eyes before grinning like a fool. He could even see the spark of fire in the clench fist and his grinned almost reached his ears. it was just to easy to entice the other one into anger, it was almost amusing. It would be fun to have somebody like Theo to mess with after all.
"No?" Rajih cocked his head before stifling a chuckle, he wanted to make a comment on how maybe the boy would prefer that of a manly heart but restrained, he didn't know him well enough and it was more of insulting comment then a joke anyways. "Of course their not like that, that's why its a fictional work." Rajih shrugged, "But whats wrong with wishing something was that way? Without wishing for it, it would cease to be. Without wishing, we have no hopes, without hopes, we have no goals and with no goals we are nothing but mindless beings wandering a earth destroying everything and each other. Its better to wish for things to be like fiction than facing the harshest of realities and losing hope." Rajih cocked his head before shrugging, "I learn quite a bit from Romance novels anyways, So I continue to read them." And he left that as it was before following the other boy.
"I was thinking of a Cerebus Knight, which means most likely a Ars Lilium." Rajih looked around and mumbled something about not ever wanting to be a Reaper. There was third option for his kind but he preferred not to mention it, because it meant succumbing to his darkest hunger and embracing the lifestyles of a Witch eater. "Ah...okay just a second." He glanced at the titles and grabbed a book on each of the elements before staring sadly at the section that was off limits. "I see, Well I'll have to come back for that I suppose." Rajih shrugged, balancing the books like a expert as the started up a spiral staircase. "Must be a really good find then." Rajih smirked back as he followed up.

That smirk again. How it irked him. Theo felt a shiver make its way down his spine, not boding too well for him. "Just.. no." Theo sighed, trying to resist the urge to find a wall to bang his head again. Really, Rajih exasperated him so much. "Nothing wrong with wishing. Wishing for something that will never happen is altogether a different matter. Having a romance that sweeps you off your feet and a guy who looks absolutely perfect is just not going to happen." Theo turned to look at Rajih. "People have flaws. No matter how perfect things are in the beginning, they never last." There was a sort of bleakness in Theo's eyes that he masked quickly with a cynical smile. "Wishing just makes falling back to earth more painful than it has to be."
"Cerberus Knight huh?" Theo grinned. "Ambitious." Theo was definitely on the path of a Reaper, very likely a Black Heart if he could. He would do anything and everything within his power to achieve that. As they emerged out on top, Theo headed straight for the shelf which he knew contained the book he wanted. The cracked, leather cover showed signs of much use, and the gold letters were barely visible anymore. But very faintly, one could just make out the title. Forgotten Fire Magics. Theo traced the gold lettering with a light finger. "I found this book very useful when I was here. Even now, I still do." He seemed almost entranced by it. "I never found another copy of it anywhere." He murmured softly, slowly opening the worn pages that smelled of dust and old parchment.

Ah, How the sweet bitterness could be felt from Theo. It wasn't like Rajih took pride really in pissing people off but in all truth's, Theo was so amusing. It was fun to watch him clench his fist, see the obvious signs of strain of trying not to punch him. Just how far would he have to push Theo before he broke? It made Rajih wonder.
"I guess I'll give you that, though I didn't know you wanted a guy to sweep you off your feet." Rajih nodded his head before tucking his hands in his pockets, "You learn something new everyday I suppose." Rajih nodded his head again before changing the subject. He didn't want to get in a philosophical debate with Theo, too tired for that.
"Yep." Rajih nodded to the Cerberus Knight comment. "It seems the best choice for what magic I seem to have appearing and well, I also thought they were the strongest of the classes." Rajih ran his hands over the spines of the books he carried, looking down at them as they walked. "Reapers probably wouldn't take somebody like me in, and Ars Lilium are not really what I am looking for. I've heard theirs a special Reaper Knight class called Black Hearts but well, I don't like their ideals." Black hearts, They scared him more then Rajih really wanted to admit, they were cold blooded killers of the Majin. Rajih being a said majin after all.
Rajih watched as Theo grabbed a old worn out book on Fire magics and swiveled his head around to look down at it. "So you've read it more then once?" Rajih never really read a book more then once unless it really caught his attention, He had a memory that took in most of the facts or figures that a book presented. Some would say it was close to a photogenic memory but Rajih thought of it more as retaining valuable knowledge he would need later. he sneezed as dust flew up from the book and turned away. "Your a Fire Witch then?" Could that explain Theo's temperament, Hot headed and burnt to the touch? Or was it the other way around? Rajih was curious indeed about it.

Deciding that Rajih was just not worth his attention took some convincing, especially when every part of Theo screamed and longed to strangle the boy to death, to watch his face turn blue as he was cut off from oxygen and blood. To watch as the light in his eyes faded as that arrogant smirk turned into a plea for mercy. BUt really, Theo forced out such thoughts from his head. However infuriating, he was on school grounds. The boy would live. Another day. Until he exasperated Theo enough that he was actually tempted to strangle him to death and not be sorry for it.
Flipping the book open, Theo ran his finger over the pages reverently, absorbing each word of knowledge that came from this precious tome, one he had never been able to acquire. As he read over the passage he wanted, he murmured each word softly, committing them to memory. They were different, unique. Just like him, just like his fire. There was a different rhythm for them to dance to.
"Well, I shall be the Black Heart to your Cerberus Knight then." Theo responded, as he closed the book and placed it back in the shelf carefully. "Different reasons, different ideals." He shrugged as he turned to face Rajih once more. "Yes, I am in fact, a fire witch. And yes, I've read that book more than once. Several times in fact." He responded dryly, noting that Rajih seemed to be shocked that one would read a book more than once. Theo rarely did, but that book was different; it was special. "Fire, like this." With a flick of his fingers Theo conjured a dancing flame, glowing with a strange bluish light that cast made him appear ghostly and dangerous as the shadows danced around them. Snapping his fingers, the flame disappeared and the moment was gone.
"Do you want to spend the rest of your afternoon here or would you prefer to go see the rest of the school grounds?" Theo inquired, clearly eager to make a move on. He never liked lingering at a certain place for too long without purpose. And he no longer had much of a purpose here. Rajih had seen most of the school. There was little else for him to see save for some of the more unusual classes.

I was like Rajih saw the internal debated in Theo. He giggled quietly like a madman as he saw the pure facial expression of despair, death and angry all swirled in one for Theo's face. It was beyond amusing, it was downright hilarious! he didn't make another comment though, he didn't want the boy to fly off the handle and kill him on school grounds. Ack how uncool would that be? Toasted in the library by a pyro happy witch. Yeah that didn't look cool at all.
H3 watched only for moment as Theo caressed the book before looking away. Okay he needed his privacy with his Tome. It was his precious after all. (The Preciousssssss)
"I feel like that is a challenge there Bro." Rajih cocked his head at Theo, "All done stroking your book? Oh and I won't Lose. We'll have to see who becomes a better knight." Rajih flicked a glance at the fire magic before shrugging, "If that's all you could get from reading that book Theo, It's time for you to start looking for another one." Rajih had seen and tasted Magic before, It was a simple spell but the ease that Theo did it with, Made Rajih envious more then he cared to admit. "Bet that trick is handy when you need a campfire or a light in a dark place." Rajih joked before heading forward.
"Actually Theo, I think You've shown me enough, plus your purpose of this whole walk is already done. I've seen most of the school I am assuming and well, I think its time for me to head to my dorms and start studying." He grinned, "Would hate to have to take all those extra classes and all." Rajih hesitated before shifting the books and holding out his hand, "Thanks for helping me out and all. And sorry for all the sarcastic comments, but you have a interesting face when it gets pissed." he winked at Theo before wandering into the safety of the book stacks.
First interesting person to meet. Theofratus. Better keep his eye on that one.

Theo was ready to leave. If Rajih wanted another tour, he'd make it very short. There wasn't much else to see anyways. Having acquired what he had come for, Theo was eager to move on and get on with the other things that demanded his attention. Smilijng grimly at Rajih's challenge, Theo responded. "We will see, Rajih. And you haven't really seen my magic yet, just you wait." Theo would have taken the bait save for the reason he would be wasting his time. There was no reason for him to waste anymore time here, catering to a brattish boy who couldn't survive outside on his own for sure.
Theo's exasperation and desire to murder Rajih did not end just there. Ugh. He would get back at him another day. Someday, he would. He clneched his fists as he turned to Rajih. "So I suppose I will see you around then, if there's no more for us to see." Theo nodded courteously. He spun on his heel and left, gritting his teeth and willing himself to keep moving forward instead of turning back to punch Rajih's face into the bookshelves.
Someday, someday. He promised himself, cracking his knuckles as he left.
