6th of winter It was a mild day in avanthal, the sun ways shining through the cold winter air and the majorty of the vantha in avanthal took the opportunity of a snow free day and the lifted ban on leaving the city to stock up on food and other necessities in a case of emergency. And if he had to hazard a guess to celebrate the occasion with a good meal now that the first hunting parties where coming back with some game these few days. He however wasn't interested neither in food nor in celebrations, the only reasons he was out of his home today was because these conditions usually resulted in a big crowd, and a big crowd displaying a lot of emotions was one of the easiest ways to get some practice in with auristics without acting like a creeper. Coren had strategically chosen a spot out of the way of most of the crowd to reduce the chances some vagik would come up to him and break his concentration. While also having a great view of the mingling crowds from up close. Coren sat down on the snowy ground and took a deep breath before focusing on his djed deep in his soul and brought it up to his eyes, letting the world of aura come into view. He steadied his breathing and picked a single man out of the crowd, who was bartering with one of the salespeople for what seemed a piece of some kind of bird. It didn't matter anyway. Coren focused on the man's positively vibrant aura. Considering he had only seen a living beings aura a few times before he still was a bit knocked of center before he managed to focus on it once again, the more he focused the more pronounced the aura of the man became, bright colors flicked through it changing from the most vibrant reds to a deep green when the salesman was talking. The ease with which he saw the aura quite surprised him though, with objects it took a lot more effort to even achieve that. Now it was just the task of actually pulling valid information out of the aura of the man. The mans height easily came to him. But what actually the deep green and vibrant red colors meant.. those where still a mystery for him, but not a mystery he was going to give up on without breaking his teeth on it first! |
