♥The silent heart beat♥
 

They say if you stand in the rain for long, it will wash away all the pain. But does it really do that or just mask it from the world. So that no one can see the tears rolling down their faces? Just outside of a rock music club called 'Gray Cloud 9' in the big apple of New york. Was a young Asian male, sitting on a concrete planter. Letting his body getting soak from the droplets pouring from the sky. He was listening to the music playing from the inside of the club. Tapping his foot against the ground. Lightly slapping his hand to the leg. He loved coming here every night. Who was this man? His name is Razi Grove. He was what you call 'abnormal'.

For starters, he was tall. Standing at 6'4", but had a face that of a child. His skin was really dark with a vine tattoo on his left arm. Short black spiky hair. The oddest thing about him was that his ear were a bit pointy. Wearing clothes fitted for the summer when it was the middle of fall. A white T shirt, tan vest and dark brown shorts with flip-flops to complete the look. Another thing that stands out was the gold medallion around his neck with an eye on it. With a blue flower around it. From the looks alone, you could say that he wasn't quite human looking...and you be right. For he not from this world. Razi, was a dark elf.

Not to be confuse with the evil ones. From he is from. Dark elves live in forest like areas. Growing food and were well known for their alcohol. So why is someone like him doing in the human world? Well...let's just say that he didn't belong in his village and his world. He wanted to find a place of his own. Hearing tales from outside his home of the Earth. He grew more and more interested in their world and life styles. So he went to a mage and made his way.

It's been half a year since then. Many good and bad things had happen, but he doesn't let that get in the way. There was only one thing that stand in is way of having a normal life here. Just as he stretched his legs out. He made someone trip by accident. He stood up and help the man up. The man started you yelled and was getting angry. He wanted the young lad to apologize to him for his rudeness. As much as he wanted to. No words came out of his mouth. For you see, he had no voice of his own. He was mute.

((If anyone is interested. Post.))

((Mind if I do? ;D))

So many faces, the music playing so loud, blasting through the speakers inside of the club. It was getting rather hot in there between all the people, who were going crazy to the music. A male, around 5'9" was starting to wonder why he'd even came along to this place with his friends. Not that he disliked the music or anything... Just the people. Alex Renal did like people, just not when they were like this. This meaning, mostly drunk and not paying attention to the other people around there, too busy sticking themselves to the first good-looking person they saw. Alright, maybe that was a bit over the top, but it wasn't too far from it.

Running his hand through his messy blond bangs, he made his way over to see how his friends were doing, but when he couldn't find them, he just grabbed his coat. His steel blue eyes skimmed through the people one last time before he exited the place, blinking as he felt the raindrops hit his skin.

People would say he was crazy or something, but he loved rain. For some reason, the male just loved going outside when it was raining and just sit there, thinking. Which is what he planned on doing now. He sat down on the ground, not caring about his jeans or his deep green shirt getting wet like most would. Though he opened his eyes and frowned as some guy started yelling at someone for tripping him, probably on accident though.

"Hey, you!" He called at the man. "Leave him alone, it was an accident." Alex stated, ready to defend a complete stranger and he didn't even know if it had really been an accident.

((No not at all X3))

Fearing that this would lead bad to worse. He heard another voice call out and looked at the stranger that was standing up to him. He felt well shock actually. Mostly people minded their own business when it came to him. Mostly because people though he was strange.

The must angry man looked at Alex with burning flames in his eyes. "Even so he should say sorry. This no good punk." he said sounding a bit odd. You could tell that the man had one to many drinks for the night. "Besides mind your own business." he growled and went back to looking at Razi. Who looked a little frighten. "So...how are you willing to make this up to me?" he asked. "Since you are not saying sorry. I know" He quickly gripped his wrist. "How's about you and me go somewhere and you and I get it on?" he said and was starting to chuckle.

Even though he was tall, he was no fighter. Her was squirming and wiggling around. Trying to pull him away. Then he looks at the blond hair man and lipped out "Help me." With sadness and desperation on his face. Soon changing to pain when he felt the drunktard squeeze harder.

((im.goanna.add.on.a.bit.if.u.dont.mind.kinda.shor t.thou^^;))
everything....seemed.......out.of.place.....he.wan ted.the.blond's.help.......but.would.he.recieve.it ....

((^^))

Even if he was a bit surprised the tall male didn't say a word, he didn't back down when the man looked at him, seemingly rather angry and very drunk. Well, either the guy was so scared he couldn't speak or could he be mute? He would have to ask that later maybe.

He sighed softly, people and liquor were such a bad combination. "Well, how about I make this my business then." He stated and stepped in between them both, crossing his arms over his chest and hoping he could try to be either smarter or stronger than the drunk man. Otherwise he'd have a problem.

"I hate people like you." He said to the man before kneeing him in the stomach, (hopingly) making him fall down to the ground and let go of the male's wrist. "Are you alright?" He asked as he turned to the still standing man who was dressed rather odd for this season.

Once the man had fell tot he ground. He let go of Razi and fell to his knees. Wrapping his arms around his stomach and groaned with pain. The tall dark skin man took a few steps back. Just in case the drunk were to try to grab him again. Then he looked at Alex, with a relief look on his face. For someone actually came to his aid and not looked away. "Hey man. I don't want any trouble. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." man said. Jusr before he stood up and ran for his life.

Once he had left. The dark elf stood in front of him and he looked really happy. Smiling and he lowered his head a little. Then he made a hand gesture to give him a moment. Digging in his right side pocket. He pulled out a little green notepad with a pencil in the little rings. He took it out and opened the pad. It took a moment, before showing the shorter man what he had wrote. "Thank you very much for helping me. I am in your debt." he had wrote. Still smiling.

Alex couldn't really help but sigh in relief as the man fled away since he wouldn't have know what to do if he got up and lunged at one of them. He watched the other male curiously as he took out a notepad and started writing something down.

"Ah, no problem really." Alex said with a small smile, wiping the wet strands of hair out of his face for it was still raining. "I'm guessing you're mute then, right?" He asked since he still hadn't heard a voice coming out of his throat. He couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to never be able to voice your thoughts with your own voice.

Even before he helped him. He was feeling strange after looking at him. His heart was beating a little faster and felt really hot. Even when it was wet and cold outside. He couldn't understand what's with this feeling. But for now he'll ignore it. Thinking that it was his blood pumping from when the guy grabbed him.

When Alex asked about not speaking. A sad smile appeared and starts writing in his notepad once again. "Sadly yes." he wrote and showed him. With the small smile on his face. You can see in his eyes that it being mute really bothers him. It looked like one of his family members had passed away expression on his face.

But it went away, for he didn't want to let him feel bad for him. So he quickly writes again. "Well thanks again. You are actually the first person to help me out since I arrived to this village." he wrote. Not thinking that writing the word village was weird when it was actually a city. "My name is Razi Grove. What's yours?" he asked with this time a cheerful smile.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I can only guess how hard it must be." He said, giving him a weak smile, not really sure what to say to cheer the other up. He wasn't really good in that sort of things and well, he'd never actually spoke to a mute person.. Or well, seen anyone talk to someone like that...

He smiled lightly. "You're welcome, I know it's hard to find nice people around here, but they're here.. if you look hard enough for them." Alex said softly, a bit confused by him calling New York a village, but he shrugged it off as him coming from the country. "Alex, my name's Alex Renal, nice to meet you." He said with a bright smile. "Where did you come from then?" He asked a bit curious.

So the new person he had met was named Alex Renal. Razi smiled and was glad to know the name of his savior. But it didn't last long for when he asked him where he is from. How was he suppose to explain to him that he was from a different world. Thinking of what to say. He wrote down the only thing that popped into his head. "Let's just say I'm from far away." he wrote down with a smile on his face. But his body was so tense.

Then he flipped to a new page into his notepad. "So is there a festival going on today? I heard all different kinds of music and had saw people dancing in the cloud building. Is it a holiday or is it a noble getting married?" he wrote. Not knowing that he was in a clubbing area of the city. Sure he has been in this world for a couple of years, but when it came to some of the customs, he was a bit out of place.
