-little visitor. Her eyes narrowed slightly at the words, though otherwise brushed it off. Usually she would have been quick to reply with some snarky comment, but she also decided that seven against one didn't really put the odds in her favor. Shoving her hands into the hoodies front pocket, she made a point of tugging it down further to ensure they still couldn't see her all that clearly, considering it covered half her face and concealed her purple locks. It was just another thing people used to tease her about, other than her height, inability to talk at the worst times, and overall social ineptitude. The other boy- man, he looked to be at least twenty, raised a hand to beckon her over, though she stayed firmly in place.
The next sound came from a girl that had just exited the house, though she did recall just seeing her entering the house. Perhaps when she had heard the others talk about the new arrival she had gotten curious. It seemed like a reasonable enough explanation, but since when were girls reasonable? Either way her words didn't surprise Arrow, if she wasn't paying attention she wouldn't have picked up on the energy coming from her, or even could have gotten confused since there was so much energy from the beings around her. One thing she couldn't pinpoint was who had what power, obviously the boy up on the post had something to do with wind, and the one in the ground had something to do with earth. Though he could have also been nature, but she was pretty sure she couldn't do that. Easily she could feel each of the powers radiating around her, though there was so many it was hard to follow the trail back to the exact person.
She listened to the other man, the one who had called her little spout off a bit of nonsense to the girl, though it seemed almost as if he was more talking to himself than anything. When his eyes moved back to her she shifted slightly, making her appear a bit less on defense. With a small nod at his words, her eyes shifted to the other man that decided to speak up. For a moment she debated on if she would answer their question, in the end deciding that it would probably do little harm if she did. "My name is... Arrow." The pause in her words was nonexistent, though enough for one to wonder if she was being completely honest.
"My name is... Arrow" She finally said. Isaac nodded, satisfied that he finally got an answer. "I see. Well, Arrow, what is it that brings you here?" He asked. "Judging by the power that emerges out of you, I presume you are here to meet the rest of the genesis." He knew that he would have to wait some more time to get more answers. "You know, little one, that it would be more helpful if you gave us more information." He didn't want to sound mean, but due to her long time to answer and his tiredness, he was finding it hard to sound kind. He wondered if this was because of Blake. Unlike the others, he hasn't felt anything when close to his opposite, this might be the reaction. Yet, he doubted it. After all, everyone needs to sleep eventually.
Circe had been reading when the queen had appeared, reprimandimg Sky curiously. Blake had stepped up to the plate and apologized for the commotion that had been caused.
Circe looked up from her book and realized that the queen was actually here. She gasped quietly and tried to hide her face by pretending to read again. After she had run away from home, her father had asked the queen to send the royal guards to find her. They had not found her yet, though there had been several close calls. She was adament about not going back home, besides, she had already made new friends.
"And where is the Lightning Genesis?" the queen said. Circe tensed, hoping that either Sky or Blake noticed that she didn't want to be seen by the queen or her guards.
"So why were hiding your face?" he asked smiling.
Circe jumped slightly then looked at Sky and then back down at her lap.
"Me? Hiding my face? No..well um... I'm a terrible liar..." she mumbled. "It's just that the queen's guards and I don't really have a perfect relationship. I'd rather not be seen by them."
"What, may I ask, did you do?" he questioned, he seemed to smirk as he did this.
Circe sighed, looking at him with a look of defeat.
"Let's just say..." she paused, thinking about what to tell him. "That I ran away from my family, who happens to be allied with the queen, and my father asked her majesty to send guards to find me and bring me home."
She didn't feel the need to tell him about her mother and brother.
Circe regarded Sky's question pensively. She looked at him, seeing that he seemed to be thinking of something himself, she wondered what his life was like before they all met. In fact, she wondered what everyone's life was like, and if some of them had suffered the same troubles as she.
"Yes," Circe said now looking at Blake. "Supplies would be good, although what exactly do we need?"
She stood up from where she was sitting and put a bookmark in her book as a servant told something to Blake. She turned to Sky and smiled.
"Yes let's continue this conversation over a meal, I'm starving." Circe walked towards the door and waited for the two men to follow. "Um... where is the dining room exactly?" She questioned, rubbing the back of her neck embarrassedly.
