Haunting

With his body rested, Tarlac began to walk through the city, went through the places of Ezmara, following the beach where he had talked with Nochte to be his master. Arriving at the place, Tarlac sat on the sand and began to look at the moonlight, it was fascinating how beautiful the moon was .. Then a few seconds after sitting, from the house next door leaves a boy, such that Tarlac had met before, but They did not talk much.

"Look, Atla-Cuauhtli, is not it? How long, come here, sit next to me!" He spoke as he beckoned to sit next to him.

Grinning at Atla, Tarlac began to speak again and again, something of a half-routine on his part.

"So Atla, why did not you go to war? Do not you like it or did you have other motives? Without a shadow of doubt it was fascinating." He was trying to pull off a conversation to entertain Atla and who knows him better.
(Tarlac Rovar)

Plans with Ajax had been postponed, but that is not a problem, Atla would then leave his house to look at the sea and the stars as he did most nights.

Arriving on the beach he saw a familiar face, apparently the man who had appeared at the end of the training some time ago. Atla then approached and sat nearby as Turlac had asked.

"Your name is ... Tarlac, right?"

He stood there listening to the man speak for some time as he watched the calm waves, until the man questioned him about the war.

"I am a supporter, I keep distance support with my arrows and my runes, being in the heart of the battle is not my style, but I definitely like battles, but I'm cautious, I have an injury and I do not feel strong enough either to face a war, I do not fight when I see that my chances of victory are very low, maybe in the future when I am satisfied with my level of power I will be able to join the front line. "
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
"I do not know what you think of Gehenna, if you hate someone, if you like power, something like that, talk about yourself." "As much as I like to talk, I like to listen." Tarlac's eyes filled with a glow as he spoke to Atla.

Tarlac was not a fool, he liked to know things about people to find the right way to reach them, to persuade them to be his allies.

"Atla, I like your style, in case you need something someday, know that you can count on me!" As soon as he spoke, Tarlac reached out his hand toward Atla to give him a friendly handshake.
(Tarlac Rovar)
Atla thought it a little strange, they had hardly spoken to each other or knew little of each other, but Tarlac wanted to know so much about Atla yet.

"Sorry, but I do not like to talk so much when it's not necessary."

They did not know each other enough that Atla said the same thing about being able to count on him, but at least he talked about his services.

"Well, I'm a Runescriber, if you need one, you can talk to me." He said as he squeezed the boy's hand, it was a strange situation but he remained indifferent.
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
"Uh ok ... So, okay? If I need to talk to you, I know where to find it." He got up as soon as he finished speaking.

Tarlac cleaned his clothes, which were a little dirty with sand. As soon as he turned back, Notche, his master, would soon catch sight of Tarlac, beckoning to him and speaking.

"Ah, Notche, come here, I was talking to Atla, would you join us?" He smiled at his master as he spoke.

Already in straight posture, he waited for Nochte's answer, if he would not join the conversation.
(Tarlac Rovar)
Wandering around Gehenna, still not feeling really good, only nuisances on his mind, the dead body of Saida, the blank state of his mind while he shred the lesser soldiers of Valmasia...

It was just a hard day, but atleast the Gehenna had glory, and Nochte, only got shame after the war.

Seeing his "apprentice", he walked slowly towards him in silence, it could be seen on Nochte eyes that he wasn't in his best, how annoyed he was deep inside.

"Yes, yes... I will join, what are you two doing...? Wasting time?"
(Nochte)
Atla was sitting and watching the sea while Tarlac stood up, it was a good morning, perhaps it was another night to relax and reflect, but that peace went downhill when he heard Tarlac call Nochte.

For a second Atla was astonished, but he did not turn around, he remained in the same position, so when he heard that voice, ah that damned voice, Atla could recognize from afar, he breathed as deep as he could, but at that moment everything what he wanted was to dig a hole in that sand to stick his own head.

"I just wanted to enjoy the evening, but I'm afraid it will not be possible now." Atla said as she just prayed for the day to end well.
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
As he listened to Nochte's weary voice, Atla also heard Atla speak in a tone of disgust in Nochte's question. Ideas were formulated in Tarlac's head, from which he could take advantage of it, but it was not time, now he would just observe and talk to both.

"Um, what's the Atla problem?" Tarlac asked the question as he looked seriously at the boy.

It was interesting to Tarlac, to discover more about every citizen of Gehenna around him, his weaknesses, his hatred, everything was fascinating and could be well used for his plans.

"Nochte, any trouble between you and Atla?" He looked at his master in a curious tone, waiting for his reply.
(Tarlac Rovar)
Crossing his arms he simply watched it, it was what he needed... an idiot that would provoke him, that would be a good way to relieve all that happened in the war...

Glaring at Atlas back, he stayed like that while he started to speak to Tarlac.

"Now? I think none, maybe he's sensitive today, who knows those people, I could do business with him now, but who knows what he have in mind..."
(Nochte)
The usual rude tone, Atla did not even have to turn around, just by the voice he could imagine Nochte's disgusted face.

He stayed in the same place, only this time he picked up a small stone next to him and then added some mana to it.

"Is nothing." he would tell Tarlac as he rolled the stone into the sea, which was bouncing in the water a good distance away.
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
Scratching his chin slightly, Tarlac was becoming more and more intrigued about what was happening between Atla and Nochte, if he did not find out directly from Alta, he could ask Nochte himself or Raoni later. Anyway, he was not there to make two people fight, so he quickly changed the subject.

"So ... about the Valmasian question, what do you think happened to them? And the Jianghu people, do you think they are trustworthy?" She opened her arms and turned as she asked.

He did not want to make enemies at the moment with anyone, perhaps because of some personal matter between them, so it was better to play the boat forward and continue the conversation, because there is nothing better to discover about people soon.
(Tarlac Rovar)
"Nothing is always something."

Nochte was just tired now, curious about the reaction of Atla, while paying attention to Tarlac, it was interesting he trying to change the subject, well it would be nice to change the topic.

"They fleed, maybe they will hide around Agartha and regroup. It's simple, I plan on killing them, each one... They shall pay and I shall redeem myself..."

Scratching his chin, he started thinking about the outsiders, Jianghu, he would never find that they could be trustworthy...

"Doubt about Jiangu, but if they're a problem they will be destroyed like Valmasia probably."
(Nochte)
Although he did not like Nochte this time, he agreed with what he said.

"It's like Nochte said basically."

There was not much he could do at that moment with Nochte there, so to pass the time he kept tossing pebbles into the sea.
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
In order to change the subject, he understood more and more the way of thinking of the two, this helped a lot in the studies of Tarlac on the people.

"Well ... Guys, who are the people you know best and who are very interesting and would like to talk to me? I would like to meet more friends of my friends, you know." He smiled and remained with his eyes closed at the end of his speech.

Acting was interesting, something that Tarlac could gradually improve, for now, he was only going to continue conquering the friendship of those around him, to have more affinity with all.
(Tarlac Rovar)
Getting bored already with all this talk about knowing people, he should just go around and talk with everyone other than asking him to do this help..

"You should go and meet the chief's, from each tribe, but have caution with you common talk you know. And I'm not in the mood to show you some friends I have, one of them is dead now..."

Sitting on the sand, he watched the ocean calmly, feeling his weakness, his lack of power that made him unable to aid Saida or even win against the Valmasian.
(Nochte)
Atla was now starting to get a little annoyed at Tarlac, he seemed to want to force friendship at any cost and this is not something that appeals to Atla, he then just tried to sidestep it politely.

"If you want to meet people then you should go to the center of Ezmara or Cruxati, that's where you'll find more people to meet."
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
Slowly, Tarlac jumped back, noticing that Atla was not overjoyed at the way the boy tried to befriend him. Then making a nod he just said.

"Well, I think I've already bothered you more for now, Atla, you must be wanting to rest who knows, my speech is boring, since I talk a lot, it's not really Nochte!" He giggled as he finished his speech.

Turning his back, he started toward the stairs as he spoke to Nochte.

"Hey Nochte, let's go to Raoni's house, see if he's there, as we take a walk around Ezmara." He nodded at Nochte, in the way he wanted to call his master. "Atla, if you want to talk to me, go to Raoni's house, or who knows, I'll come and visit you. I'm planning some building near Raoni's, if you're feeling alone, come talk to me, I love to talk as you have noticed. "
(Tarlac Rovar)
Nochte says, "Later I join you on it, gotta wait some time before going."
Tarlac Rovar says, "Ok, you know where I'll be."
Sincerely Atla was not the type to keep throwing away unnecessarily, unless it was for sheer fun, which was not the case, especially with Tarlac whom he barely knew and still apparently was Nochte's friend or something.

Tarlac then decided to get out of there and go to Raoni's house apparently, but unfortunately Nochte was not with him, what struck Atla is that even as he left Tarlac tried to force friendship.

'It seems that everyone connected to Nochte has one less screw.' Atla thought.

He did not want to remain there with Nochte, so he got up, removed the sand from his clothes, and returned to his house without saying a word to Nochte.
