He huffs and turns away. "I am SO done with this right now," He mutters. "No. I came after that. They were long gone when I came."

Hitari raises his eyebrows in mild surprise. "After? Where are you from?"

His question seems curious and innocent, but the sharp tone underneath makes you feel like you should answer wisely. . .

He holds the knife vertically, seeming bored. A black. . .something. . .runs from his hand, coating the entire thing. It elongates, becoming a long dagger. He flips it around, not seeming to be hurt when he catches the blade.

Rin narrows his eyes, subconsciously trying to seem as intimidating as possible. "I don't remember where from exactly. I've forgotten most. I was cast out as an infant because I had magic, saved from execution by an old mage named Eldonn. Never knew his first name. Studied under him for fifteen years, so on, so forth. People in the village hated me, would spit at me if I walked by. They were too afraid of Eldonn to mess with him, but they tried to kill me a couple times. I finally graduated to the rank of Novice Mage, I get the feeling that was recently. People in the village started not hating me as much, all was going well, then the rest is foggy. Woke up here a couple days ago, wandered into the woods, found this place. Want me to go on?"

"Hm. That place must be pretty far from here," Hitari says. "Yes, go on, if you want to."

He glances at the door. "But before you do, did Shia say anything before she went out? She usually comes back to me pretty fast. . ."

That's the final straw for Rin. "I haven't seen this 'Shia' of yours in my life. If she was ever here, she's long gone now." Gritting his teeth, he bursts out of the house and slams the door with surprising force, roughly brushing a lock of his mouse-brown hair out of his eyes, which are blazing orange. He doesn't know what he wants. He just knows that he's angry, and bitter, and wants to hurt something. Really hurt something. Felix the owl, who has escaped through the broken window, digs his claws into Rin's shoulder. He pushes Felix off brutally.
He's.... starting to lose it.

(yesssssssssssss >:))

Hitari watches Rin storm out, still flipping his knife. "Shia's. . ." He glances out the window, which is still blown open.

"She wouldn't leave."

A crude, mad smile twists onto his face. "Shia wouldn't leave me. She's just. . .off somewhere, granting wishes." He glances at the door. "She'll come back."

"She'll come back. We promised we'd never leave. . ." A shudder passes through him as wisps of dark energy start flowing off him into the air.

"She. . ."

(ohhhhhhhhhhhhh boy XD)
Rin feels some dark presence growing behind him. He grips his staff harder and reluctantly turns. Felix latches his claws into Rin's shoulder and grips hard, refusing to let go.
".....Oh [dookie]."

([dookie] has me falling out of my chair xDDDDD)

Hitari stands, still having that grin on his face. Darkness is rolling off of him in chilling waves.

He shakily leans against the wall with one hand, looking down at the floor. "Shia knows she can't leave me. . ." The wall cracks as tendrils from his hand lace up its surface.

The dagger in his hand grows again - this time, forming a. . .broadsword?? Hard to tell, since it's made entirely of pure shadow.

(hehe! gotta keep it clean for the kiddos, eh? XD)
Rin, cursing, takes off his gloves for the first time he can remember. Readying his spellbook for reference, he narrows his eyes and prepares for whatever hellish nightmare may be coming his way. His vision is teeming with currents of orange light.

The hollow feeling inside of Hitari slowly wears away - replaced with anger, confusion, fear. . .the whole package.

The wall starts crumbling away, until, suddenly, the entire thing just collapses. He steps back, watching the dust settle. The wind blows inside, making the room incredibly cold - doesn't help that tangible shadow is also filling the area.

He steps out of the gaping hole and looks at the forest. His hand holding the sword twitches.

A few seconds later, you're almost deafened by the sound of hundreds of tree falling at once. . .all the trees within about one hundred feet have been felled.

Hitari drops the sword, breathing heavily. He turns to look at you. "Shia didn't leave me, Isorin," he hisses under his breath.

(Whew~! The way he says Isorin's name gives me highkey chills XD)
Rin, heart pounding, curses his stupidity and shortsightedness. He runs his mind through all possible spells he could use to defend himself or, better yet, escape.
