The next thing he knew he was on the ground, the girl hitting him with a tackle hug at such high speeds he felt his ribs crack. He winced at the pain but accepted it because he had managed to make the girl happy and that's all he wanted to do, nothing less, nothing more. He had come to this festival in the hopes of forgetting his duties for a night and relaxing but instead he had found a lost soul and made her his second in command. She was going to be his partner every day and in time she could very well pass Landen in rank as Carter's best friend but he knew the guy wouldn't care. He was tough as nails and lived to fight, hell living to fight was an understatement.

Carter, while being on his back in the snow, briefly thought of his training with Landen, how badly it had gone for both of them and how much Carter had had his shit kicked in by the man. With a shiver he lifted his head just in time for the girl to kiss his nose lightly and make him blush again, not once but twice in one night a woman had kissed him, had shown him a sign of affection and he didn't know how to take it so he found himself staring at her with his face flushed red.

He hadn't paid much attention before to her halo but now it was right in his face so all he could do was notice the swirling ring of light energy. It was hypnotic and it held his gaze making him unaware of the people walking by and looking at the two, most assuming they were just a young excited couple. He was already day dreaming about what they could get done as a team, already he was feeling the energy pumping through him that would end up carrying him through the horde of paper work long over due on his sagging desk back at the office.

No one ever considered how much paper work went into being a captain and it already was biting him in the ass but he'd do it. So far he had a group of lazy ass's and a powerful vizard that rightfully should be his boss but for whatever reason the girl was content on taking Carter's orders. Just don't get on her bad side. He thought to himself, a smile coming to his face as he wrapped his arms around the girl in the snow and looked up into the black sky, still dropping the white flakes of heaven. The night had been good to him and he felt truly blessed.

“..ah.. you okay?”

Animum had said softly before she looked up at him, her chin resting softly against the man’s shirt. a slightly amused expression crossing her face, an arched brow accompanying it to give him one seriously bemused glance. Fidgiting abit as she had been hugged back, cuddling further into him as if she wouldn’t rather be anywhere else, which for the most part was the truth seeing as this was the best evening she had honestly ever had, and for awhile? She’d just lay there listening to his heartbeat after her head had tilted sideways resting her cheek against his chest in a comfortable manner, understanding that carter being in the snow might have been a tad uncomfortable if the snow had accidentally seeped into his clothes, but she just didn’t quite care enough to move and ruin the wondrous moment she was having.

”..Mn..”

The Advent of despair had let out a soft humming sound from deep within her throat, the sound fleeting and brief as she opened her eyes and glanced around them, noticing for the first time they had attracted quite an audience, much to her embarrassment, and yet, she still didn’t move as her face turned a crimson shade of red. Her soft golden eyes shifting to glance up at him a tad bit, wide and luminous as she didn’t quite know whether not she wanted to shift and get off him, or enjoy the moment a little bit longer. If anything there was an internal battle going on within her, one that finished with her deciding to settle somewhere slightly to the left of the middle, electing to still relax on top of him, while she said in a soft tone.

”..They are staring aren’t they?”

Her words probably explained the obvious, and she recognised such the second they had left her mouth, however she honestly didn’t mind at the moment. Instead she had let out a soft and not so silent giggle, her body rolling so she rested her back up against him, her eyes glancing skywards as she reflected on just how crazy a day it had been, first meeting this stranger a 1 in many billions of a chance meeting. Then she had gotten to know them and finally? she had been given a home, and the night was still young, she didn’t know if she could comprehend it if anymore good happened to her, and to be frank? she was content just the way she was, in this moment, with this person, her body relaxing back into him while she said in a joking tone.

”..So.. about that paperwork?”

She’d look up, allowing her right hand to slide up, her index finger poking carter on the nose booping it slightly while she continued to look at him a slightly shark-toothed smile moving onto her face as she raised her eyebrows in a manner that was full of mock-seriousness, which was only enforced by how her eyes widened fractionally as she made sure to enunciate every word, so that they had been clear, crisp and to the point, making sure to leave out absolutely nothing that she had in her mind at that very moment.

[b]”..We are going to burn it all right?”

With that out of the way? Animum had lightly nuzzled her head against the underside of his chin for a moment, and then with a exasperated huff that made it seem like what she was about to do was the hardest thing on planet earth. She’d get up and clap her hands at the stragglers who hadn’t the decency to keep their eyes off the affectionate exchange, her eyes rolling and her head cocked to the side in an expressive manner, and she would say in a voice that brooked no argument but still had a touch of humor to it.

”Okay folks show's over~ You can pay the ramen joint down the street if you were entertained~!”

Turning around animum had bent down and offered carter a hand so that he could use it to get up if he wanted and she’d say with a shadow of a smile on her face..

”..The night is still very much young.. what are we going to do next?”

When she spoke of burning the paper work he laughed just a tad, having already thought of taking said action himself. In a dark way he had day dreamed of lighting all of it on fire without a care in the world but sadly it needed to be, read, answered, and filed for future reference in case his leadership abilities were questioned over something so pity.

He could feel the top of her head nuzzle his chin for just a moment before she pulled herself up and clapped her hands at the crowd telling them how the party was over. For a moment Carter didn't get up, he just stared at the stars and the light snow falling around him while using his enhanced senses to hear it crunch ever so softly on the piling snow on the ground. It was a crisp sound that he never really paid attention to because he hardly ever was around snow and when he was his mind was set on whatever mission he had to do at the time.

But now though he could enjoy the beautiful, unique flakes in their entirety if but for just a second before he rolled to his side and ignored the pain that came from his cracked ribs, they were healing already but they would be sore for the next few hours. Once on his side he would push himself up and scoop the snow around him into a ball and throw it lightly at the back of Animum's head to give the crowd a show.

standing up he would speak, "well next was thinking we'd have a.... SNOW BALL FIGHT!!" He'd yell while tossing a waiting snow ball into the crowd. The people would all scream with laughter as they ran about, scooping snow left and right and letting it fly like wild animals.

In the midst if the chaos he would find Animum and throw another snowball at her, "This is what it's all about Animum ! Instead of finding pain from other people focus on their joy!" he would shout over the stomping feet, lighthearted laughter, and flying snow. His left hand would find her right hand and he would smile at her, his golden eyes lit up in glee.

"Now let's have some fun!" he'd order before letting her hand go and throwing a snowball at a passing kid and his dad and running off into the fight of snow chill.

“..Oh im so going to get all of you” [b]

Animum had said sputtering as she felt something smack into the back of her head, knocking her face first into a snowdrift. The wetness seeping down her hair and dripping onto her neck, soaking through her clothing and making her unbearably cold. The sopping wet residue of the snowball firmly covering the back of her head as she lay there, twitching somewhat before she had began to get up, one eyebrow raised and the eye under it twitching ever so slighty, as a manic grin had spread across her face, her hands moving rapidly electricity silently spreading through the snow itself, pulling it all closer to her body through electron manipulation.

The snow would have began to vibrate floating off the ground as she continued to manipulate it all, turning the snow on the ground into a hail marry of round balls of snow. Each one hovering in the air and numbering in the thousands, as she let out a wide smirk, floating up on her feet as she made sure first that the snow wasn’t too hard and did so for a specific reason, as she could feel a lump growing on the back of her head from where the snowball had hit her. Given that ice was something that was HURT and she didn’t want anyone else to have to experience that feeling in any way shape or form, Hence why she used her electron manipulation to keep it together but she didn’t use any real strength in it, so on impact these snowballs would simply explode into a soft white powdery multi colored cloud.

But was she done? No the Vice-Captain of Squad Seven wasn’t done, as she spread her electron manipulation out further she was picking up snow from all over the city, turning them into floating balls of snow that had a similar consistency. All this snow would change the thousands of snowballs into tens of thousands of snowballs, a mini army of orbs ready to pelt the opposition, and to be honest? She was enjoying this, way to much hence why she would have quickly allowed herself to fling the snowballs forward as people dived for cover, snowballs blasting onto every surface of the street, not hard enough to break anything but enough to turn the whole place into a sprawling white canvas.

Next with a soft smile she began to work some magic, pulling down the magnetic fields around the street, as this was her gift to all those random people. Though it would take some time and concentration, given what she was doing wasn’t easy, it required her to take in the computative knowledge of every variation of the earths natural magnetic field and more importantly how particles interacted with that field to generate aurora’s. After factoring in all the variables she would have further showed her mental prowess by changing the formula, tweaking it just enough as instead of just a stream of winding lights that would move in just one direction? Animum had decided to do something a tad more interesting than that, instead she had through moving the electrons around and as well through a moment of pure concentration, managed to hijack the aurora.

What this meant was through a feat of pure mental deduction and electricity control she had managed to pull the aurora downwards so that instead of having to crane their necks up to see it? They would be in the thick of it, the multicolored lightshow streaming around them, curling around each person like long tendrils. Tendrils that would variate in color and glow with a dazzling luminosity. And it just.. stunned people, many of them having the half formed snowball just slip straight out of their hands. For now though? Animum had grasped Carter’s right hand, her fingers interlacing with his own as she let out a heady laugh, lightly running down the street as the aurora slithered by, her eyes shifting across the random stalls before she had spotted where she wanted to go, her hair streaming behind her.

[b]”..Carter! Let's go in here!!”

The New Vice-Captain of Squad 7 said as she was pointing towards a photobooth and then to a hot-chocolate stand, as it seemed despite everything , she wanted both a commemorative picture of this outing, and further, she wanted more to drink to warm up her shivering body.

His guts dropped to his feet as a countless wave of snow balls blotted out the light of the moon before descending downward, the powder breaking apart easily, causing no damage. Carter found himself laughing like a manic as he ran through the streets trying to dodge the never ending snowballs that were pelleting his back and head. He found the cold snow refreshing as it mixed into his hair and rapidly began melting before streaming down his face in tiny droplets. If another captain was here they might find it unbecoming of him to be acting this way but for once he didn't really care, he was going to cut loose and enjoy this memory he was building. He was going to run with the humans and bump them as they all giggled in the snow storm. No one could deny him the right to feel so utterly alive in this moment.

After running in circles for a bit he finally dove under a table with a few other people as the snow finally began to let up, aurora beams coming down from the heavens in the next instant and swirling through the crowd like a river that was parting around countless rocks. He saw the looks of pure amazement on the faces of the people and a lazy smile worked itself onto his face before he climbed out from under the table and walked through the motionless crowd. They were all speechless as the northern lights that so many wished to see before their lives would end came down to them and graced them with a light show more brilliant than any fire work, colors richer than any painting. The lights were the true definition of inspiring and they humbled Carter as he got caught up in the pulsating lights.

The next thing he knew his new vice captain was by his side, lacing her delicate fingers around his own and pulling him through the crowd with excitement and rushing down the street where they would land in a photo booth, as if to make sure tonight really happened with photographic proof. He wouldn't complain because he was secretly hoping to find a way to flash freeze this memory other than the necklace she had given him and what better way that the out dated old world photos. This was a night he would cherish until his dying breath no matter what the future held for these two kindred spirits. He'd sit down in the booth and smile with all of his heart, a large cheesy smile that was hard to find on his face most days, in the next frame he would put his fingers in his mouth and pull it wide open while crossing his eyes and pointing his tongue out. One might as well get a good laugh at this. He had two copies printed out, giving one to her and the other he would slide into the breast pocket of his jacket before they strolled down the street to get another cup of hot chocolate from the same vendor.

He would pay for it since it was his fault she was cold. Not to be a classless man he would remove his jacket it and drape it over her shoulders as they sipped on the chocolaty drink. "I'm sorry for getting you wet, I didn't mean to make you cold. That was awesome though, none of those people are going to forget tonight." He said before blowing on his drink and sipping it again, " I know I will never forget tonight. Not after meeting you." he whispered, almost bashfully.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking he felt her hand hit him in the face lightly before she grabbed him and spoke but in the following moment he couldn't recall the words she spoke because of the action she preformed, grabbing him and pulling him in, her lips would lock onto his. He panicked for a second, standing wide eyed and awkward before he realized what was going on. She's kissing me..... oh lord what do I do?! He thought, trying to remember how they did it in the movies. Taking a deep breath from his nostrils he closed his eyes and pulled her closer, feeling her heart flutter against his own as it threatened to hammer out of his chest. her lips were soft, like rose petals, and he found himself wanting to crush his own into hers like an animal but he refrained from doing so. Instead he merely let his follow her lead while wrapping right arm around her waist and cupping her right cheek with his left hand.

She tasted of the same hot chocolate she was drinking and some how of fresh air, like the clean air you inhale deeply out in the deep forests. It was probably his head playing tricks with him but none the less it was intoxicating. Instead of pull away after a moment he decided to linger in it, inhaling her scent before finally breaking his lips away and leaning his forehead against hers and looking into her equally golden eyes.

The man had been alive for over 100 years and yet this was his first kiss, his head was always on his work, never focused on companionship of this manner until it had finally found him and made him notice it. So he stood there as the blood flooded his head and made him feel as if he was in a fog from the rush of the moment. After a moment he cleared his throat and tried to sound cool, tried to sound mature, "That has to be against Captain and Vice Captain protocol." Not wanting to sound as if he didn't like it he would wink and her and smile lightly before she spoke about a choker she wanted in the store window in front of them. Hell she could have asked him for a cat made out of gold after that moment and he would get it, she had already left her mark on him and without another word or a protest he marched into the store and spoke quickly to the shop keep, pointing to the window where the choker resided. In a moment it was gathered, wrapped and packaged, and paid for. Once done he exited the shop with it in a small bag and held it up for her to see where he had left her out on the street.

"All yours." He'd say, rather sheepishly, still buzzing over the moment they had even though he was attempting to snap himself out of it and carry the role of Captain. Trying to maintain his mature attitude that was slipping through his fingers in the moment.

He looked at his watch, a non descriptive glass face with twin leather straps, and noticed how late it was. She wanted to do more and he wished he could give her what she wanted but he had to get to sleep, tomorrow was going to be a harrowing day for him.

"Now I get my butt to bed back in my own world." He would answer, a gateway opening up to Soul Society, "[color=#0099ff]You can come with me now or we can meet up sometime in the next few days but this is where I have to cut our evening short at, " I'm sorry."

With a small smile he would turn into the light and walk back toward his true home, if the girl followed him now her night would be cut short, if not she could play around a bit. The small white haired boy felt a yawn coming as he rubbed his eyes in a childish manner and walked on.
