Looking...Just Looking.

Zero stood infront of the enormous clock tower, him looking like an ant in its presence. He had started coming to the clock tower often, to sing a song to the melodious bells. The night sky glistened with stars of old, looking like the lights of some far off world. He sighed a breath of gratefullness. He was glad he was able to spend this moment alone, just enjoying some peace and quiet.

Mystel walked up to the clock tower, laughing maniacally. She was doing that randomly though it still sounded musical as she walked up to the tower and jumped, pushing off the wall of the tower a few times until she was up by the clock's face.

Zero heard the laughter and watched the girl easily scale the tower. He smirked. She had to have been a non-human. He walked up to the tower, and looked up. That was a long way to go. He said to himself he wouldn't use his hands. He jumped up, his foot barely touching the loose bricks as he propelled himself up, reaching to where the girl was. He was a bit winded, but other than that, he was okay.

Mystel heard someone coming and she looked down the tower as she saw someone climbing up. Mystel seemed fine from her journey up. They do not seem human. Alicia, the woman inside Mystel's head from the contract they had had which had gone wrong thought in Mystel's head. Well obviously She thought back to her and smiled like a child at the person. "Hi stranger" she said with a short wave a she sat on one of the clock's hands.

"Hello." Zero said simply, gaining his balance on a clock hand. He was fitter and had more agility than most humans, so doing all this was a snap. 15 years of intense training didn't go to waste. "My name is Zero Kaji, its a pleasure to meet you." Zero said. He gave her a smile then steadied himself on the clock hand as it moved a bit.

As the clock hand Mystel was sitting on moved she didn't move at all, staying floating a bit in the air from her element. "Mystearianna Nikolaevna" she said with a polite smile. "What brings you up here?" she asked, pulling out her flute, Nyx, and looking over her black flute.

"Just to enjoy the sight. It's one of the best in the town." Zero said. He put all of his power into his legs and did a clean jump to the top of the clock tower, where he stood. His leg muscles ached a bit, but he payed them no mind. "And may I ask what brings you here?" Zero asked.

"I like high places" she smiled and started playing a very soft melody with her flute. Her eyes were closed as she played but her senses were higher up then they were when her eyes had been open. Her silver hair darkened as the sky darkened.

Zero heard the melody and closed his eyes. It was beautiful. He started to sing a little in his beautiful Alto voice. At first it was quiet, then it started to get louder bit by bit, mixing in with the music.

Mystel heard the singing but kept playing before she smirked a bit and changed how the flute sounded. Instead of the soft and beautiful flute sound that the flute should make, it became a violin.

Zero was surprised when he heard the sound of the flute change to the sound of a violin. He smirked. "Well, you're just full of surprises, aren't you." Zero said, humoring her. Then he started singing along with the violin music, his voice soft yet strong.

Mystel giggled a bit but the sound continued easily before it switched to a cello. Mystel was smiling with her eyes closed, seemingly peaceful and harmless.

Zero's throat was starting to hurt from the non-stop singing fest, so he stopped a little bit later. "You're a good player." Zero said to her. He sat down, his legs dangling over the edge.

"Thanks" she said as she stopped finally and put Nyx in her lap. "You're not bad yourself, at singing anyway" she smiled.

"Thank you." Zero said. He yawned a bit. He leaned back, looking at the sky. He sighed. The rest of the night was going to be boring, he could tell.

Mystel sat herself back on the clock hand and hung upside down, not caring if she messed up the time "So what's up?" she asked then giggled.

"Nothing really. Just trying to figure out what I'm gonna do tonight." Zero said. He usually had something to do on Friday nights, whether it was work or partying. This time, however, he had nothing to do.

"Hmm bummer" she said with frown and flipped back up onto the clock and then jumped up onto the other before jumping up to the top of the tower. She looked out and about and stretched her arms high in the air. "I just love the view from up here, you can see all kinds of trouble and mishap from up high in the air" she giggled.

"Oh...can you really?" Zero said, a little bit of intrest in his voice. He sighed and looked up at the night sky. "It is a real nice sight from here, though." Zero said.

Mystel stood very close to the edge, looking out over it before looking up "A very nice view here indeed. I believe I will come here more often" she smiled.

Zero sat up straight and gave another yawn. He looked over at her. His hazel eyes studying her for a second before he layed back down, gazing at the stars..

Mystel seemed to space for a moment before suddenly she almost screamed, as if her attitude did a topsy-turvy. She scrambled to get away from the edge, a look of fear on her face. She shook a little.

Zero shot up straight as he heard her scream. He got up quickly and got her away from the edge, grabbing her wrist and pulling her away, hard enough to get her off the edge and soft enough so that she wouldn't be hurt. He fell back trying to get her. Before he got up, he asked, "Are you alright?"

Mystel seemed to be breathing hard, eyes wide and irises small compared to the. "How crazy is she...." she asked no one but it was still heard quietly. She looked at him "Thank you.....Yes I'm fine......" she said. Damn you Alicia, give me back that body, it's legally mine! Mystel said though now she was the voice in Mystel-Alicia's head.

Zero got up and nodded. "Good." Zero said simply. He gave her a smile then looked over the edge of the tower. "That's a long way down..." Zero said to no one in particular. He walked away from the edge, sitting back down near the center.
