It was hard for her to talk about, seeing as how she had her entire life forced out of her, and despite taking several breaths to get over her sadness, she gasped out loud when she felt hands envelope her. Mike's warmth caused her to cling to him tightly, curling into his chest as his arms and wings held her tight. It was the most comforting thing she'd felt in over one hundred years, and her sadness slowly ebbed away. Talking about her other schools seemed to help Catriana get over her fears, and as they moved into the school, she directed them to the homeroom, where she found a seat quickly. She had hoped that Mike would sit close to her, so she could talk to him, and when he did, she smiled and spoke softly, so that no one else could hear. "So tell me about yourself, Mike.."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Mike was a bit taken aback by the question.  What a large question, he wondered if she knew what she had just invoked.  Mike could spend days telling his life story and still not be done.  He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.<strong>"Alright...My name is Michael, Mike for short.  I'm an angel, obviously, but I'm only 700 years old.  I'm here because my father doesn't want me causing trouble anymore up there"</strong>, Mike pointed a finger upwards for effect.<strong>"I learned to fight when I was only 50, after being brutally beaten until I was near-dead.  My father took pity on me and taught me every form of combat available, as well as teaching me how to use tactics.  But...if you don't mind, I don't generally tell my life story to people I've just met.  No matter how cute they are."  I grin a bit before looking down at my desk to hide my face.  When I look back up, I can see you smiling.  "So, Cat, what about you?  I'm sure you have some great stories."</strong>
