Julien could not take it anymore. He tapped his foot quickly against the stone floor as he shifted uncomfortably in his chair. A small bead of sweat ran down that back of his neck. He was wondering if any of his class mates were staring at his odd behavior. "Wait! Why the hell do I care about what they think?!!" Julien thought to himself. God, this place was really getting to him. He looked outside the window at the greenery with longing. Finally he raised a shaky hand and asked to be excused.
He opened the door with a little bit more forced than needed and walked quickly through the large castles cold hallways. Julien pulled a angrily at the collar of his shirt. Why did these humans feel the need to wear clothing?!! How weird!! The cloth not only restricted his movements but it felt strange against his tan skin. Julien was preoccupied with remembering how to take of the garment they called a "shirt" when he became overwhelmed with the smell of Nature.
Julien looked up and realized he had walked into the courtyard without meaning to. Ah, Heaven! Julien finally managed to rip off his shirt and ran to the nearest tree that looked big enough to hold him. He streatched his fingers eagerly and began to climb up his personal Jacob's ladder. The feeling of the rough bark against his hands and bare feet where almost a reward for spending three hours in that cold stone fortress. This, outside immersed in Nature, is where he belonged.

Kazari wasn't one to skip class-- no, she was in the courtyard because her anatomy/physiology professor had assigned them a project, and then sent them all to the library to do their research. Kazari's project had been on the circulatory system. Her parents were healers-- she had grown up around diagrams and models of different systems, even if most of those had dealt with chakra instead of blood. Kazari knew her way around the human body.
Now, if she had been assigned to something like the nervous system, instead, she would be in the library with the other students. The most she could do with that would be to draw for Professor Coretti an acupuncture chart and offer a demonstration. Which would have been amusing, if--
Kazari's musings were interrupted by a rustling. From where she lounged, high in the boughs of her favorite tree, she heard the brush and rustle of another person's movements. Kazari twisted about in her seat and curled her fingers lightly over the branch behind her, and looked over her knuckles at the newcomer.
"What brings you to this Kazari's tree, she wonders," she said aloud, her metallic eyes catching the dappled light as she spoke.

Julien froze at the sound of the voice. He smiled nervously and peered up at the girl through his orange/blond bangs. She looked pretty and strong, actually she reminded him of someone he knew. but that was for later. "My need for nature and tree climbing brings me to Kazari's tree." He answered happily. For some reason he felt slightly kindred with the girl afterall, people who like to climb trees can't be bad. "If I'm intruding I can find another tree, but I like having tree buddys, mind being mine?" He asked his smile broadening.

Kazari arched an eyebrow, and she pulled herself upright, so the she was standing. She vaulted the branch and dropped down a yard or two, landing in a crouch, like a cat, on the boy's level. Her head tipped to one side and she examined him-- there was a familiar feral feel to him that all most werebeings shared-- the only exception was Kyosuke. But he didn't smell like a wolf or a bear or a leopard, and he bore no telltale bitemarks. He didn't have the odd something extra that she had come to expect from the Chosen. He must have been the fourth kind of shapeshifter-- the strange kind. The out-of-nowhere kind. Like her.
A big grin broke across Kazari's features. She flicked her hair out of her face and spoke to the boy, "Never one to deny a new friend is this Kazari." She stood. "She will share her tree," she added, her voice colored by a light chuckle.
"What is she to call you?"

Julien examined the girl closer. Something about her sent and the way she moved screamed "predator"!! Yet, she seemed friendly enough, plus she looked like fun. He chuckled back at her and playfully mimicked her "You may call this one Julien." He fliped his hair out of his face and smiled. "But I do believe we've met before, in the mess hall with the red wolf man and my poor room mate." He chuckled at the memory. "As long as I don't get killed, would this lovely Kazari like to play a game with Julien?" He asked excitedly. He'd been dieing to play something!! ANYTHING!! Going from playing 24/7 to sitting in a desk was almost unbearable.

Kazari nodded. She remembered Julien.
Her smile quirked at the question. Lovely Kazari? She'd never been called that before. But the question was for a game, and Kazari loved games dearly.
"A game, this Kazari would love to play." She hooked her hair behind her ears. "Which game?"

Julien pondered. "Well, I do believe the humans call it 'tag'." Julien answered with a smirk. "and I do like running." He was glad that he was able to amuse the feline female.
He quickly remembered the occurances earlier that week and quickly scaned the horizon for the red wolf that had attacked his room mate. Thankfully, it was not in sight. "As long as I will not be hit by that wolf-man again, I think the game should commence, if you desire, Zari." Julien bit his lip a little, maybe he'd gone too far. "If I may call you 'Zari'?" He gave her a dashing smile, but he could not hide the playfull glint in his eyes.

Kazari's grin broadened. "Used to Zari, this Kazari is."
She tapped the palm of her hand onto Julien's shoulder before dropping the rest of the way down to the ground, yelling "IT!" as she fell. She landed in a crouch and darted away.

"Damn it!" Julien muttered with the ridiculous smirk on his face. He quickly leaped from tree limb to tree. Until he managed to get just above Kazari. He dropped from his limb and pounced onto her back. "IT!!" he screamed happily.
