And relaxation have to love it. Vincent thought as he smoothly flew through the air in his odd form of flight which actually consisted of him being pulled along by a gravity well that he generated. He had tried experimenting with having an inverted gravity well push him instead when he first started. That wasn't nearly as easy or relaxing.
His flight had started from the top of the Academy where he had been looking out over the grounds. It wasn't long before he had decided to take to the air though, and before long he was above the Pinehurst Forest. Vincent had always loved the woods, spending a fair amount of time running through them for fun when he went camping with his family. It was nice to know that he could go into one without having to go far.
Flying down in a spiral pattern, he joined a flock of birds that were scared from their tree. Though their erratic movments weren't easy to follow. He decided to leave them be and whistled as he skimmed over the tree tops, letting his back face the ground as his hands clasped behind his head. He flew like this for a few minutes before changing his course.
He started dipping in and out of the forest, weaving between the trees. He enjoyed the lazy pace he could move at, instead of going at high speed, this way he could revel in the natural splendor of the forest, only vaguely aware of what was around him so he didn't crash

Kathleen was in the forest relaxing as she was still exploring the grounds. Standing in the shade of the another tree as it was afternoon and it was hot but she got a cool breeze from this tree. Deciding it was a good day to take her camera out as she wanted to capture the wildlife and the people as the old saying goes that she lives by.
A picture is a worth a thousand words, oh boy if she knew what she was going to capture something that was odd. She would have no done it, while taking a picture of the trees since she haven't seen these trees back at home. Taking a few pictures of the different angles of the tree she had caught something strange on the camera.
Looking back at the preview button she was looking at the pictures as she saw nothing strange until she hit the tree section. It was a blur in her pictures. Thinking that was odd as that something was there.
Putting her camera down as she then went to look up at where she took the picture as she was seeing a man floating in mid air as it was the most natural thing in the world as she then quickly look down. Not knowing what to say as she even had a more confused look on her face. She didn't know what to say, but she was still puzzled by the picture.

As Vincent weaved through the woods, something caught his attention. He wasn't alone, well in the terms that he wasn't the only human in there. Plenty of woodland critters still roamed around. Stopping to hang in the air, he took a longer look and saw that it was a young woman with a camera. He was close enough to see that her expression was more puzzled than anything else, meaning that a man floating in the air didn't actually startle her, which suggested that she was fairly used to seeing people with powers.
Giving a broad smile and a wave, he floated down to land and started walking over to her.
"Well hello there. I didn't think I would be running into anyone els out here today. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though." He said as he stopped a few feet away. Close enough to speak easily, but close enough to be invasive of her space.
"I'm Vincent, it's a pleasure to meet you..." He trailed off as he tilted his head inquisitively, clearly waiting for a name.
It was kind of fun for him to be back at the Academy and to know virtually nobody that was there. When he attended, he tried to make a point of saying hello to everyone he met and learning a little bit about him. That didn't always happen, but he still made the effort and got to know the majority of the people. Now as a teacher, it was being the new guy all over again, and with as social as he was, it was actually enjoyable as far as he was concerned.

Kathleen watch Vincent float down as she shyly waved back as she didn't know what to say as he was so social and he gave his name and it seems he was waiting for her. Of course he was, that was usually happened. She didn't know what to say of course, as she then looked down shyly, then looked up again as she made eye contact. Though she knew that he was close to her but she didn't mind. "Kathleen, my friends call my Kat, Kitty and Quinn" She said as she looked back at her camera. "Was that you in my picture, I can't really tell" She asked as she then looked at Vincent again. "It's nice to meet you too," She coughed as she was not knowing what to say as he looked older then her.
He looked like he was a teacher here as she then looked up again at him, with enough courage "Are you a teacher around here, I don't think I have seen you around here before" She said only been here for at least week and she is partly moved in. Since she tons of book on photography.

"Kathleen, as I said, a pleasure to meet you. I'll go with Kat for now." He replied and gave a slight chuckle at her question of if he was the one in the photo.
"Well unless there is someone else flying around here, which I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. Then yes I was likely the one on the picture." He said with a broad smile in place. His luck for running into young women had certainly stuck with him on his arrival. Barely a week and this was the second young lady he ran across.
He gave a nod at her question.
"Indeed I am. I recently assumed the post of Intro to Power Control, along with a couple of the elective courses." He said, figuring that it was very likely that with all factors considered, he had run across a fellow teacher. She looked young, but not quite the age of most students.
"Hmm, let me guess, Photography teacher, or at least an enthusiast. That's certainly not a cheap camera you've got after all." He said. He had a tendency to try and figure people out from what he could observe.
If he was correct an this was a fellow instructor, he would be rather pleased. He was trying to make a point to get to know each of his colleagues while he worked at the Academy so he could get a feel for how to best work with each of them and figure out which ones would be able to become friends and those who would have to remain on a simple professional level.

Kathleen looked at him as he laughed, deciding how she liked to hear him laugh. So she had looked at him as he was on the mark as she was surprised and amuse that he got it right. Of course one could tell when you a carry around a camera that is attached to your hip. Still it was something to tell if your teacher, as it was her passion to teach others of her craft.
"Actually both, it's amazing that you figure both out. I kinda became an enthusiast after I took my college here. In Photography it became my passion and I knew that I wanted to teach others." Looking down again as she was looking down at her camera as she was still shy and feeling awkward with someone who was older then her but not to much. As she still felt a little uncomfortable. "Really all those class, you must love to keep busying. I can only do three at a time, for me. Power control that sounds interesting and dangerous. You look like a man who doesn't mind it though, if you don't me telling you that. I know we just met and all" Feeling embarrassed as she felt like she put her food in her mouth yet again.

Vince gave a sly smile.
“Well it had to be at least one of them. And when one is a teacher, the other is much more likely.” He replied, happy that his observational skills were as sharp as ever. He enjoyed being able to figure things out by small little things that he could see. He believed the saying of not judging a book by its cover, but he did also know that one could learn a decent amount about someone by looking a little more closely.
“I tend to have a hard time minding any compliment a young woman has for me at any given time.” He said as he let the smile widen slightly. He was also glad to hear that she had attended the academy, well if he heard her correctly.
“So am I to hear that you also attended the academy?” He asked. The last teacher he met hadn’t been to the academy like he had been. He had loved his time there and it was something that few besides a fellow student could really understand.
He had never felt alone during his time as a student there, but he did when he left and traveled for a while. Several of the people were easy to get along with and he made several friends outside of the academy, but he normally kept his gift a secret. It was easier to live as a normal human. Though here he could use his gift as often as he liked for the most part, and be around people who didn’t have a problem with him. Kathleen had been a perfect example, being more puzzled than anything else when noticing him.

Kat looked at him as she then was happy to know that she wasn't the only one. Not used to compliments, "Well I am not used to having Handsome men give me compliments, I just usually put my foot in my mouth usually" She admitted as she then nodded her head at his question. "Yes I have, I am not surprised I haven't seen you. I liked to stick to my school work and has a small group of friends" She said as that was mostly her high school and her college years in this academy.
Thinking for a moment as she realized something "You know I think we are on the same floor, a couple doors down for each other. I am wondering how we haven't bumped each other on floor yet. Maybe we can work together sometimes, in the class or in field trips. I think that could fun" Suggesting an idea further down the room, as she was always thought of new things for her classes so they would be challenged and interesting. Coming together with that class would do just that.
Before she would get ahead of herself, she would have to wait for Vincent reply.

Vincent gave a chuckle.
“One might think you’re flirting.” He replied with a quick wink, making it obvious that he didn’t mind it in the least. He felt rather mutual in the aspect of seeing an attractive person. Something the never bothered him, he was only dancing about because that was part of the chase, and the chase was just as fun as any other part of a relationship. He gave a nod at her mention of why they hadn’t met.
“Oh it’s no surprise. I was here and there around the school, and I think we were probably a couple years apart. Not that it really matter, we’ve met and that’s what counts.” He said.
Kathleen then pointed out that they lived close, not a surprise if they both had a home on the campus as many students and teachers did. He smiled at the mention of working together.
“I would be delighted. I have a passing interest in well… Pretty much most subjects and the company would be quite pleasant.” He said before raising an eyebrow.
“Perhaps we could look at our schedules over a few drinks at my place and figure out where we want to go from there.” He suggested. He was always keen on company. One of the reasons he wasn’t home often, he was no0rmally alone and he hated that. Being highly social he would rather be in the company of others, leaving his home empty quite often. Having a visitor would be nice.

Kathleen smiled as she then looked down, but looked back up as he didn't mind it in the least. Which made her feel better relaxed, as he she nodded her head "That is true, if we were supposed to meet then we would have." She said as she then turned off her camera to save the battery.
Her smile widen as she heard that he liked the idea of combining the classes together. She was excited now as the ideas were floating around her head. "Excellent" She said as she tried to not look to excited. Afraid that she will make a fool of herself as she calmed herself down.
Hearing him suggest being alone in his house with getting some drinks and looking over there schedules that made her nervous. She has never been alone with anyone, especially a fellow teacher and a handsome one at that. She would remind herself that it was innocent as they were just going over there schedules and finding an idea on how they should come together. After a few minutes of getting herself together. Looking at Vincent with a friendly smile.
"I will like that, when..is..um a good for us to do that" Getting the words out as she was indeed flustered but she kept reminding herself that it was just innocent nothing more.

Vincent was trying hard not to laugh.
I really did manage to find an easily flustered one. It's really just like being back as a student right now in some ways. He thought with great amusement. He always did enjoy the personality type that Kathleen was displaying, such people tended to be a lot more open and honest around others, making it easier to actually get to know who they were.
He gave a wide smile when she mentioned his offer sounded nice and chuckled when she asked what a good time would be.
"Well my own day is pretty clear now. Naturally the weekends are fairly open most of the time as well. To be honest, aside from my classes and training sessions with another student I don't have many things taking up my time during the weekdays either." He replied.
"So it's pretty much whenever it's a good time for you. We could even go right now if you would like." He said. Vincent was hoping that her day was free and they could be able to sit down and figure out what they wanted to do about the classes. He wasn't exactly sure how they would mesh together, but he was creative enough and was fairly certain she was as well to suggest it, unless that had been simply something that popped into her head without thinking. Possible, but not so likely.
And after that, well he figured they would find some other things to occupy their time. He never liked to be a bore and didn't intend for her visit to be all business, as far as he was concerned, that wasn't any way to go about having a guest over to his home. Particularly as she would be the first person to visit.

Kathleen managed to hide her surprised when he was now free as this would be a great opportunity. To try and work together with another professor. She swallowed then again she had another been alone with anyone, least of all another guy. So she told herself this was professional, as she was talking about working together and getting ideas about it. Though she was lying to herself about that part. He was indeed handsome, so she didn't want to admit that to herself.
"Neither do I, but i send most of my days when I am not teaching or with students. I like to take pictures of the scenery, Animals, even people sometimes. It's a good way to past the time, and then I read books on it. Trying to better myself at it, you know learn something new everyday." She said as she was rumbling on as she couldn't stop even if she tried when she talked about her favorite subject.
"Well I just need to stop at my house, to get my lesson plans and I will meet you at your house. What number is it and I am pretty sure I can find the right house." Knowing that she has a good sense of direction.
