Sai had asked one person to meet him just outside the school for a special trip, one that happened to be quite important to him. His family, his clan, all of which he hadn't seen for years. In fact he didn't expect that they would still be where he saw them last, but it was a chance he was willing to take. All he had to do now was wait for his companion and they could leave.

Not going to grade the thread, since you're obviously not done.

Larita wandered to where Sai told her to meet him. She was confused and kind of lost, this area wasn't very familiar with her. "I-I'm here..." She shouts, panting slightly resting her chest on her knees, as she kneels slightly. She had been running late for quite awhile. She wasn't sure where Sai was taking her, or why even. But, she hoped it be a fun adventure, just like the other times.

She also wondered if anyone else was coming.

Sai smiled somewhat as he saw Larita approaching where he had asked her to meet him. He had waited some time but now it seemed that they would be able to leave very soon, after giving her time to rest of course, it wasn't a short trip by any means. "Good morning, I guess you have a few questions for me, I'll answer some obvious ones" he paused and looked around before turning his gaze back to her. "We are going alone on a little research trip, we are going to locate my clan. As you know the basics of my magic they should allow you to follow me" he nodded and allowed her some time to take this information in. He seemed quite eager to get out of there and

"A-alright," Larita mumbles unsure, she noticed he was taking about the magic he had taught her. Liberatio, it had helped her in numerous occasions, but it still drained her magic very quickly when in use. She also noticed Sai's eagerness and giggled to herself quietly. "Why are you locating your clan?" She asks as it was a sudden decision that confused Larita.

"Well... first off I need to know they are alright... I haven't seen them all for a very long time" He nodded while he began to walk, slowly to begin with but he really felt the need to start moving. "And, I want to learn more... I am stuck at the moment. And neither any work of the MRS or the books in the library put together could help me now" Sai nodded, he didn't think he would need to say much more than that really, unless of course she had more questions for him he would be happy to answer.

"Alright then, I understand. Shall we get going?" She encourages Sai with an innocent smile. She had adapted at using the basics of Liberatio, even though it consumes her magic. She wondered why the Magic Research Society nor the library books didn't have any information on this magic, Animus Sigmus was what Larita thought it was called... It must be a vastly rare magic to have scarce information on it.

She wondered where Sai was going to start his search... She hasn't been out of the school grounds much, not without other members of the Magic Research Society at least, this is only her second time with people who aren't from the MRS.

”Of course, I have an idea where they may be.. if not there will be someone there who can tell me” he nodded as he began to walk, the expression on his face seemed quite determined, he had a purpose. ”How have you been.. I haven't seen much of you lately” he said suddenly, small talk it would seem, it was true, the last time they had really done anything together was capturing and saving the Rikaichan Tiger, which was apparently going quite well in its new home, or so he had been told.

"I've been pretty good... It's sad Umi and Yoko had to leave though. I've been meeting a few new people, what about you? Joined a club yet?" She smiles sweetly as she continues to follow Sai, unsure where she was going. Larita was glad to see Sai so determined to find his clan, if only she had something like that. Well, I guess she could say, she was determined to not get captured by her father.

"I have been fine, I haven't joined a club yet.. I should probably think about it though" he says with something of a nod, though it hadn't taken very long, the school was quite out of view now, and in front of them was just a single road, and somewhere ahead was what looked like a village of some description, a small one.

"Is that it?" Larita asks as they continue to walk towards it. It was shockingly close to the meeting point, they hadn't walked for that long at all. Or, this could just be a rest spot, she was unsure.

"Well, yes actually. I have heard people have been forming pactio, which I should also think about" he nodded as they walked on. THe village wasn't quite as close as it seemed, they would be stopping there to get some supplies before moving on.

Larita nodded at Sai, she wondered what supplies they'd need. This could be a rough journey, Larita guesses. "I had a pactio, but I don't have it anymore..." Larita states, as she used to have one with Umi, however because of his apparent death or disappearance, the artifact card became invalid and has the inability to work. So now, it's just some card with Larita's picture.

”Well, that is unfortunate.. what happened?” he asked as he continued to walk into the small village. They made their way through and continued to walk around till he found a little shop, that looked quite old but as they walked in Sai would be greeted as if the man knew him. ”Saijun! I haven't seen you for quite a while! And you have brought a lady friend. Where might you two be going?” he must call him well to call him by his full name. He seemed nice enough though.

"You heard it too, right? Umi went on and left the school or something like that... It's very sad, but... I don't know what happened, but my card just stopped working. Everything turned blank... I got confused and chucked it away, but..." Larita mumbles unsure of herself. She continues walking with Sai, however a man who seemingly knew Sai and began speaking with him. He looked like a kind person, but he's not someone Larita's seen.

Sai nodded, but shrugged. ”I never knew him.. What do you mean but?” he asks, before addressing the man who apparently knew him. ”It's good to see you too uncle.. I think you know why I am here yes?” the man chuckled and nodded, rummaging through some things and giving Sai a pouch that sounded as if it was full of coins. ”You aren't far, use this, it'll guide you” The man gave him a coin, silver in colour with four arrows in the centre. Sai nodded. ”I'll send everyone your regards, we will see you on the way back” both of them grinned and Sai opened the door for Aria before following her outside. He examined the coin and pocketed the pouch. One of the arrows lit up, pointing north. ”There we go”

"Something was suspicious, I'm not sure what." Larita remarks, as she politely bows to his uncle with a cute greeting. Following the two into the room and as Sai obtained a coin, it just confused her. As Sai seemed to finish his business, he allowed Larita to exit the room first, "Thanks." She smiles, exiting the room as the coin lit up pointing to the north. "Right, let's go!" She cheers, heading off to north, taking the initiative lead towards the binding light arrow.

"My clan makes these things, this one is specially designed to point towards where they are.. the pouch has similar coins, just add magic and whatever happens to be sealed inside, appears!" He explains, tossing her the arrow coin so she could lead the way, having taken the initiative and all. "The brighter it glows the closer we are" he nods as they move onwards.

"Right, what a nice item... Did your clan also make it?" Larita inquires, staying in front as she keeps looking back, seeing the coin shine brighter, making her feel slightly happy that they're getting closer. She hasn't seen anything like the flute Sai had made for her or this coin; his clan must be amazingly powerful.

Sai would nod. “Yep, that is a sealed form of magic though, so it is slightly different from the supplies and such. he said as they moved on, though she would see out ahead was what looked like a town, in the distance of course. They had a while to go yet, but at least they could see it.

"Wow, your magic is really interesting." She smiles, maybe she could become a crafter like Sai and his parents? She giggled slightly as she doubted that would ever happen. Seeing a town in the distance, she wondered what mysteries would unravel there as she rushes off to the town first, hoping for some interesting answers.

”Well you know a bit.. kind of. Actually it is another reason I brought you along. They might teach you some more” he says, it would take a little to get them to agree, but they would probably give in. When they got to the town the sun would almost be setting, in a few hours it would probably be dark. They approached the gates, apparently unguarded.. ”Hrmm.. that's odd” he comments. Before a young girl's voice would be heard. ”Saijuuuuun!” The young mage looked around as a little girl jumped at him, hugging him closely. ”I thought you'd never come back!
. After a brief moment of shock, he would smile. ”I told you I would didn't I?” the girl nodded, then let him go to look at Larita. ”Who is this?”

Spoiler:

Larita watched calmly as Sai had his sister greet him. That girl looked much more like a stronger fighter than Larita herself. "Hello, my name's Larita Rimuru just call me Larita." Larita smiles with a handshake greeting. She was unsure if she should give her last name to people, as it's slightly private, considering her father may have very well put up a bounty for Larita's return to that horrid mansion.

She looked at the sun setting, it was a beautiful sight like always. Larita was tired, so she hoped to get some rest soon and even learn more about this magic. She was slightly excited for that.

”I'm Autumn! It's nice to meet you! She seemed very cheery, probably because she got to see her older brother, a rare event apparently. She shook her hand and smiled. Sai looked over. ”We should probably go home, hmm?” he suggested, Autumn nodded and began to lead them off. ”We can rest here the night, and I'll introduce you to some other people tomorrow. How does that sound?” he says to Larita with a smile.

"Okay, that sounds good." She nods as they head towards Sai's home; as they traveled, Larita stretched her arms with a quiet yawn. She was pretty tired at this moment. She was pretty excited to meet a few people; maybe there'll be experts to teach her some Liberatio spells.
