Nick would listen to the man's answer about his favorite food and said "Cup of Noodles... That does sound rather tasty, even with meat included as well. I've always been a seafood person, I even enjoy Shrimp on occasion. But, I wouldn't mind having meat as well." as he continued to ride the tram with the man he was traveling with for the time being. He never really ever tried eating noodles out of a cup before, all his meals that he had eaten in the past were served on a smooth wooden plate.
As the tram arrived at its intended destination, he would step off with Caius when the time had come. He made sure to stay by the man at all times, so that he wouldn't get lost in this portside city. He hadn't ever seen transportation like the Air Tram before, since there was nothing like that back in his own home world. He looked around as he traveled alongside Caius. Taking in the view of this part of the portside city.
Eventually... him and Caius would arrive at their next destination, a two story building with a small courtyard in the back. He would look at the sign that had read The Wyvern's Rest for a small moment in time. He followed the man inside when the time came to do so, not wanting to get distracted for too long by a sign posted outside the facility. When he entered the building, he was quite amazed its interior.
"Wow! What a place this is! It's got that nice homey feeling to it!" He said to Caius excitedly as he looked around the area. He felt like a little kid at a festival, even though he wasn't the younger version of himself anymore. He was a young teenager that would eventually approach his young adolescence in the next couple of years.

"Yes, I agree... I do need to move forward and continue to learn in my own way. Even though it will take some time. Even if someone beloved is gone, the memories of them still remain in the hearts and minds of those who loved them," said Nick as he wiped his eyes and nose on his own robe sleeve, and took a deep breath in to calm himself down. He would continue to look at the view while he was seated in the vehicle.
The young red mage in training had found it interesting that Caius was taught the basics by his own father, and that the teachers of the Kingsglaive that he was part of helped him learn to use his newfound abilities. He also agreed in his mind that experience was the best teacher. He didn't really have much else to say for the moment as he looked out at the view while he rode in the Air Tram.
He would sit in his seat and wait, while tapping his foot on the ground softly. Only making a soft thumping noise when the tip of his foot tapped the ground of the vehicle he was riding it. While he was waiting for the Air Tram to reach its destination, he decided to try and change the conversation a bit. Nick would ask Caius "So.... do you have any favorite foods that you enjoy eating? I don't mind eating fish." It was a rather simple question, even though the young man probably had many questions on his mind.

"It's alright, and thank you..." said Nick as he gently took the silk handkerchief from Laurelin and wiped his eyes for ten seconds. When he was done using it, he would hand it back to her in the same gentle manner. Taking a deep breath in through his nose and slowly exhaling before saying "While I am a young teenager, I've got to find a way to be strong, and continue my learning so that I can be the best Red Magethat I can be. I am sure my mother would've wanted that the most. This staff of mine that she passed onto me will always remind me of her."
Nick appreciated the sympathy that was being given to him by Laurelin and smiled a bit. After all, he didn't have many friends in this world that he has found himself in. He was going to need good people to help out whenever they could. He looked towards his staff for a moment, then back towards the woman that he was walking with.
In his mind, he would think about the memories of his past, of all the good times that he had learning magic with his mother. Including all the important lessons on proper etiquette when speaking with people. It would remain in his mind for the rest of his days, or as long as he would be alive. That's all he had of his mother was his memories of her.

Nick would listen to the answer given by the man as he gave an affirmative nod, he would be quite surprised to hear that he got his magic from a crystal using someone called the King of Lucius as a conduit for channeling magic. He never thought about someone gaining magic through another source other than naturally learning it, including the fact that Caius was actually a Kingsglaive back in his own world. It was all very interesting to him. Showing that he wasn't the only person who was transported and displaced from their original world.
"Wow... that is really interesting!" He responded with after being told the information that would answer his previous question to Caius. When he was asked by him about how he had learned magic, he would reply with "I was taught by my mother who was a Red Mage, I was always interested in learning to be one when I was a young kid. She had gifted me her own wooden staff on my sixth birthday, and I've used it for practicing my spells. Before my mother could continue training me further, she was killed by a thief in my world.... for the sake of revenge. I wanted to destroy him for such an atrocious and vile act, but I couldn't bring myself to doing it back then. It didn't seem to be in my nature. I never got the chance to learn any more spells from my dear mother... she was a great Red Mage and a great parent to me. No one else could replace her..." That was the whole explanation on how he learned his magic. While it was rather lengthy, it was the best way for him to explain everything.
After telling Caius how he learned his magic, he was about to pretty much break down in tears. Nick tried to keep himself from crying, but it didn't really seem to work. He ended up crying a little. Thinking back to the previous years of his life where his mother was still around, but he knew that he'd have to move on eventually. Even if it would take a while. At least he still had his memories of all the times that he spent training with her.

Nick would watch as the dragon took the big fish beast in its talons, believing that the creature would make a good meal for that dragon. When Caius apologized for the slightly delay, he said in response, "It's alright, I am sure its understandable in one way or another." as they made their way down to the Dragonblade Guild.
When they arrived at this one stop in the city that had something called an Air Tram for transportation, he looked at the vehicle itself for a moment before being signaled to hop in. Which he would do so quickly. It kind of reminded him of the airship he was on before he got transported to this mysterious world, except the airships didn't have seats to sit upon during flight, at least from what he knew from memory. He gently took a seat right next to Caius when he motioned to do so, the seats themselves were rather comfortable. Not bad at all. He actually liked it.
When he was asked about what he knew about Torensten, he would answer with the response: "I honestly don't know much about Torensten, other than it being a port-side city. It certainly is quite a big city if I must say so myself."
The young teen would look out the window and see the view of the big city from above, it was certainly very interesting for someone like him. There were places that he hadn't been to in this port-side city, which would be nice to visit if he didn't have much else to do in particular while he was here. While they traveled in the tram, Nick would ask Caius a question that went like this: "If I may ask, Caius. Are you a knight of sorts that implements the use of magic with your sword skills?" He was quite curious if this man was a certain mage like he was.

Nick would listen to Caius as he went on in detail about how the jobs they take on usually involves dealing with dangerous creatures, nodding his head in understanding. When he heard about the other options, but declined the idea of enlisting as a local guard since he wanted to have some freedom for himself. He liked the idea of semi-independence. After all, there could be moments where he could either take on a mission by himself or ask someone to come along with him. He wouldn't mind working with someone to complete a mission.
As he listened further to what Caius was telling him, he would be told that if he were to join up that he should know his limits since anyone could try to hire him off the streets if he mentioned the name Dragonblade, and that members of the guild have been getting hired for some difficult jobs that would be tough to do. He would nod again in understanding what he was hearing. After all, the young man knew that he had limits and couldn't really do much since he only knew two spells.
After those important pieces of conversation were finished, Nick heard the man say to him that they could head out whenever they were ready. His lips curled upwards into a smile as he said "I am ready sir, I don't really have much on me anyways. Aside from some Potions and an Antidote." As he waited to be brought to the guild to be shown around. He was certainly eager to see this place and what it had to offer. It was better than wandering around like a drifting stranger. Even though he would be pretty much seen as a stranger to this world.

"A pleasure to meet thee, Caius and Vordun." said Nick as he gave a gentle and friendly smile. When he mentioned that he worked for a Mercenary Guild, he believed that it would be a good opportunity to help him find a temporary place to stay for a while, and also be able to help people out with the use of his spells. Since he only knew Fire and Protect, he also thought that this Celes person might be able to help him out. He didn't quite have the Gil to afford any magic schooling, nor did he have any left after leaving his home world.
Maybe he could even settle down for a while and get adjusted to the new world that he has found himself within. The only question he had yet to answer: Why had the comet brought him to this world in particular, or did it actually bring it him here? The answer couldn't be found for the moment, but perhaps there could be one. If not, it would just become a mystery left unsolved.
"About the Dragonblades guild... I am very much interested in checking it out. After all, I promised to my mother before she was killed years ago by a thief, that I would use my spells for the good of the people. Where can I find this guild, If I may ask good sir?"He said in reply. He looked at Vordun the Dragon, and thought about maybe trying to pet them. But he knew better not to pet someone's creature unless he asked for permission and decided against it, believing it would make the whole conversation go awkward. After saying his response, he would wait for Caius's response on his question.

Nick would watch from a distance as the man did battle with the aquatic beast, quite amazed with the spell casting abilities that he had. He hadn't seen anyone before that could use a sword and cast spells as well! Perhaps he was a mage as well? Maybe he'd get some answers after the whole fight was over with.
He was thinking of going on the offensive and launching a Fire attack at the beast, but it looked like this gentleman had the whole situation under control. This beast that the young teenage red-mage-in-training was observing seemed to be resistant to certain abilities, which is quite intriguing. This could help when he was dealing with other hostile creatures in the field, or at least teach him that some creatures may have weaknesses. Good thing he didn't consider casting his own Fire spell at the beast, it wouldn't be a very effective attack.
After the man had dealt with the beast from the sea, Nick watched as the man had used the conquered enemy as a cushion to soften his fall. He was simply mesmerized by everything and it left him thinking idle thoughts. When he was asked by the man if he was alright, he would snap out of his idle thinking and respond.
"Yes, I am alright. I was just a little surprised and afraid of that creature, but I should be fine. Allow me to introduce myself... I am Nick Zixian, Red Mage in training. I am from the Town of Gaia in another world. A place that is home to fairies, or at a least a fairy spring from what I know. I thank thee for saving me from that creature. I was very much unprepared and caught off guard when it appeared from the water." said Nick as he introduced himself.
The 17-year old teen would await an answer from the man clad in armor as he looked at his equipped armor for the moment. He hadn't seen anything like it, at least from what he knows. He always wore his red robe and red wizard hat, nothing else to it. It was basic light armor for a Red Mage like him since he wasn't exactly the beefy warrior type.

The young teenager would back off a bit further, thinking of staying on the defensive as he heard the loud roar of a great beast coming from behind him, followed by a big fireball that was launched at the aquatic creature when a spell name was called forth!
"My goodness... where did that come from?!" Nick said as he turned around saw a man with long blonde hair equipped with armor, standing on the top of a big dragon. He had heard of dragons from stories told from his mother as a young child, but never thought that he would see one up close. This would be the only opportunity that he would get to see one. It seems that according to the young teenager, when the big fish got hit by the big fireball, it became very agitated since it seemed intent on devouring him. He was curious about the man that he had come into encounter with, but didn't have the time for asking any big questions. After all, the main focus was the dangerous sea creature.
Nick would then watch as the aquatic creature attempted to launch a counter-attack, only for it to fail when the man riding on the dragon was able to dodge the attack. He was quite surprised to see them draw a sword that would soon be clad in flames before the next attack occurred, it was an impressive sight to behold. When the gentleman asked him to stand back and provide support, he would nod in reply.
"Yes sir, I'll do my best!" The young teenager would reply as he backed up further so that he wouldn't be directly in the line of fire from the aquatic beast that was threatening everyone. He immediately raised his wooden staff into the air and shouted loudly "Protect!" as he casted the White Magic protection spell on the man who was battling the beast from the sea, wanting to give him some protection against incoming damage. Nick was relieved that someone had come to help him. If it was any later, he would've been dead for sure!
He was curious about the word he heard when that one spell was cast, Fira. He wasn't sure if he could put his finger on it, but it had been a while since he had learned the basic Fire spell from his mother. He took a guess that it was an improved version of the Fire spell. He wanted to think more on it, but now wasn't the time since he was in a battle, and there wasn't much time for idle thinking!

"I guess I've been out for what seems like hours... or at least that's how it feels for me. Good thing you had arrived when you did, or any dangerous creature could've ended my life, thank you." said Nick as he continued to dust the sand off his Red Robes. This lady he had encountered seemed quite friendly to him, so perhaps everything was going smoothly for him right now.
"A pleasure to meet you, Laurelin. The reason I called you Madam was because I wanted to be polite. My mother taught me how to be polite to people." It was important for him to be polite to those he didn't know, since his mother didn't want her own child growing up to be an impolite and dishonest man.
When she mentioned that he was on the Pale Coast in Zephon, he nodded in reply and said "Hmmm... interesting. The world of Zephon and the Pale Coast, quite a place that I've landed in. Perhaps as I travel along... I can learn some new things about this world." as he thought about what to say next.
When she offered her right hand, Nick would gently take it with a small grin upon his lips. He would then say to the response of being taken to a warm fire "I'd appreciate that most, thank you so much!" as he would walk along with her on the beach to the place called The Hero's Haven. The young teenager would be quite happy to get some rest after being unconscious on the beach for quite a while. When he was asked about his origins, he would say in response: "I am from the Town of Gaia, I've been raised there my entire life. I will say its quite a wonderful town filled with fairies since there's a fairy spring there. My training to be a Red Mage started there under instruction from my dear mother, who gave me my wooden staff that I hold in my right hand. It originally belonged to her. She is no longer alive unfortunately..." He would try to hold himself back from crying, but he couldn't quite do so and let out a few tears.
