Tides of Beauty [The First Meeting - Malix]

[Victoria Fair]

The sun was high and bright over the peaceful field near the beautiful waterfall. It's light reflected off the surface of the stream, the spray of mist, and the water droplets on the flowers of the meadow. In the middle of this serene landscape, just out side the mist, sat something just as beautiful as this scenery. A young girl, barely older than twenty, sat there, just enjoying the day. She didn't seem to have a care in the world.

[Malix]

Malix walked to his favorite place. As he walked over the hill, he saw it: the Abyssinal Falls. He loved this place. It was his favorite place to go. So peaceful, so serene. It took him away from the violence of the missions that the Superiors sent him on. He walked down to the edge of the pond, removing his clothing as he walked. He set it down at the shore, and ran deeper into the crystal waters. It was cold, but it was a refreshing change from the heat of the sun. He went under the water, and kept his eyes open. He came up, and took in a breath. He looked around the Falls. Something was off...until he saw a figure, dark behind the mist.

[Victoria Fair]

Victoria sat there for a little while longer before playfully flopping over in the grass. She was glad she was alone though, as the skirt of her dress flew up rather far when she did. The girl laid there for a moment longer before getting up and heading toward the pond, slowly trying to untie the little vest thing she wore over her dress. However, once she got it untied and got over there, she met eyes with the man in the water. Her face instantly went red and she turned he back quickly. "I-i'm sorry, sir! I didn't realize you were here."

[Malix]

Malix saw who was coming out of the mist. A girl, barely younger than he was. Her pace was brisk, and she began to untie her vest. She was headed directly for the pond, and he knew it was too late. She looked up, and instantly turned red. So did Malix. She apologized, and turned her back to him.
"You have no reason to apologize. You didn't see me and I didn't see you," he said, quickly getting out of the pond and putting his pants on. He was so embarrassed. He threw his coat over him, and straightened out the sleeves. He turned back to face the girl. "I'm...I'm dressed now."

[Victoria Fair]

She peeked over her shoulder before turning back around completely. As she did, a smiled crossed over her still red face. "I really am sorry. I thought I was here alone, like I usually am. I hope you aren't mad." Her voice was calm and kind. Her bright blue eyes glittered in to sun that reflected off of the water. The sincere smile on her face told everyone that she was a happy person.

[Malix]

Malix grinned a cheeky grin. "It's alright. I'm usually alone when I come here too. Not to say, though, that it isn't a nice surprise..." he turned red again, then extended his hand. "My name is Malix," he told her.

[Victoria Fair]

"Victoria Fair." She said, shaking his hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Malix." That was one thing about her, she was always polite. No matter what. Even if she had to kill you, she would be nice about it.

[Malix]

He flashed her a toothy smile. He may not understand much, but Malix definitely understood first impressions. Because he is part of Organization XIII, most people had this tendancy to look at him as though they wanted to kill him. It confused him, to be sure, but he just smiled and ignored them, most of the time. He wanted to win Victoria over, however. He turned a crimson red.

[Victoria Fair]

A bright smile light up her face. "So, Mr. Malix, what do you do for a living?" She asked happily, sitting down in the grass.

[Malix]

"A living? I usually don't do much. I'm...a guard, most of the time. A personal guard," he scratched the back of his head. "What about you? What do you do for 'a living'?"

[Victoria Fair]

"I'm a healer." She answered happily. "I, like my mother, want to become a great healer. So that one day I can be a hero, like my dad!"
