Momo tugged happily at the slightly tattered black beanie on her head. It had been her father's, she had taken Wei's words to heart and had asked her dad for his hat. It had worked, she was sleeping better and it made a nice accessory, or so Amme told her. The beanie was quite big for her and covered from just above her bangs to the nape of her neck, even then she had to fold it a little bit.
Momo looked around her at the stone castle walls. . . they all looked the same to her and they defiantly smelled the same. She stamped her foot on the floor in frustration. She was lost.
"Ok," she thought to her self, "I'll go down this hall way and if my class isn't there I'll go back to my dorm." She looked down the hall and her English class was no where in sight. Momo pursed her lips together and death glared the hallway.
She gave an exasperated sigh and stomped back down the hallway. Now back to the . . . dang . . . Momo didn't remember the way back. She leaned her back against a cold stone wall and slid down it. Momo curled her knees to her chest on which she rested her head and tried not to cry. "Stupid castles," she muttered in frustration.

Wei hadn't seen Momo for a few days. Which made him a bit sad, for reasons he didn't completely understand. Maybe she was just painfully sweet. Oh well.
Wei turned a corner and spotted a little ball of Momo curled against the wall. She seemed...less than exuberant.
Well, this simply would not do.
He crept up behind her and leaned against the wall, sliding down to sit next to her.
"Hey hey, lil' bit," he greeted, patting her shoulder.

Momo recognized the sent right away and turned without looking at him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him, burying her face into his shirt. "Wei-oppa!" she said trying not to sob, "I'm lost! I dunno where I am and . . . and . . ." Her voice changed deeper in pitch a little bit and she whispered, "I HATE castles."

Wei laughed. He folded an arm over her shoulders and gave her a squeeze.
"Well, you're in the University part of the castle, Mo." He leaned her forward, much like someone would lean a child to make them giggle, so that she could see around the next corner. "That's the Film Studies room. Down the hall is Mrs. Yogo's classroom, and we're currently leaning against the wall of an empty storage room. Er, it was emmpty last time I checked, at least. It used to hold a bunch of old and broken desks, and one day they just disappeared. As far as I know, ol' Fable probably ate them."
He wondered how Momo had managed to stray so far from the general freshman classrooms. But then again, he got the sense that it would do no good whatsoever to ask questions where Momo was involved. The charming little bugger. She must be late for a class-- he had a free period now, as it were, but he was pretty sure that underclassmen weren't allowed to have holes in their schedules.
"So," he concluded airily, "the castle has done nothing to be hated. It's just an err of design. In fact, I think you might have hurt its feelings." He took his free hand and placed it flat against the wall, waiting silently for a moment and then nodding theatrically. "Yes. This castle just wants to be loved."

Momo looked up at Wei and blinked a few times. She then stared at the wall, stood and huged it. "I'm sorry," she said quietly. She then turned again to look only slightly down at Wei. "So, ummm, would you mind showing me back to my dorm?" she asked tugging on her black beanie again. She looked at a nearby clock, "Unless you think you can get me to my class and I'll be able to learn something from it in the next 45 minutes."

Wei stood up easily and hitched up his pants. Sitting cross-legged in slacks never ended well. But then again, Wei was probably biased. He never saw any use for school uniforms other than making a large group look nice on field trips.
But oh well.
He held out a large hand for Momo to take, arching an inviting eyebrow. "Well, depends on what class it is. I'm never going to tell you outright to skip classes, because then I can get out of trouble without lying." He smirked.

Momo giggled and took Wei's hand with a large (Julien-ish) smile. All of her fears from a few minutes ago vanished. "I WAS trying to find my english class," Momo said, "but I think if you show it to me, I'll be able to find it NEXT time."
She looked up at him and said, "Besides, I haven't gotten to see my safty tree in a few days." Her lips pursed in her attempt not to giggle, "I haven't felt very safe."

Wei nodded and opened his mouth in an ah. "Okay. Do you still have your schedule? I can show you any other classes that you're not getting to."
He smirked. "Oh, the safety tree's been around. He's a tree, remember? He doesn't move much."

"Yeah, it's here," Momo said handing him a piece of folded paper from somewhere in her shirt. (Apparently her skirt doesn't have pockets) "You might as well show me where my biology is too, I WOULD have to go to that next." She chewed on her lower lip a little, "Unless I have the sudden urge to learn about what I'm made of, besides furr and muscle."
Momo pouted a little, "If you don't move much then why haven't I seen you more." She narrowed her eyes, "I was beginning to think my tree was trying to hide from me."

Wei looked at the list. "Oh cool, your bio class is right next to my anatomy class. I can walk you to Biology next period." He nodded in self-affirmation. "C'mon, I'll show you where your English is."
As they traveled, he smirked. "Hiding? No, I don't hide." He patted his chest. "I'm not very good at it. Where am I going to hide all of this?" He indicated his body as a whole with a wave of his hand.
"But I've been in my room a lot these last few days. Finishing up summer assignments." He quirked his mouth to one side. "I love film studies, but really, there's only so much someone can put into an essay about the decrease in sensitivity of content ratings. That paper took me ages." He smirked. "But I digress. Anyway, no, I wasn't hiding."

A very Julien-ish smile broke across Momo's face. "I'm sure you could hide if you really wanted to," she said with a giggle, "And for some reason I can't picture you bent over a desk writing a paper."
She pursed her pink lips off to one side and furrowed her brows in thought. After a short pause she shook her head so her bangs flopped over her face, "Nupe, still can't see it." She noticed how long his strides were. . . wow, he really was tall. Not wanting to be left behind she held onto his arm with one hand.

Wei chuckled and shortened his stride a bit, letting her catch up.
"Well, I wasn't really sitting at a desk. I was on the floor. Because I couldn't spread my notes out on the desktop. There wasn't enough room." He grinned, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "At least, not if I wanted to keep the giant bowl of kettle corn nearby as well."

"Kettle corn?" Momo asked, "Oh is that the really sweet kind of pop corn?!" I loooove that kind!" She felt her beanie start to slide off her head. She quickly pulled it snuggly back into place. "Oh, I took your advice, by the way," she said pointing to the black hat with a smile, "This was my daddy's."

Wei gave a crooked grin. "Does it work?" He asked, genuinely curious.

Momo smiled and nodded. She took off the hat and sniffed it. "It still smells like home," she pouted, "I don't know what I'll do when the sent goes away."
She looked up at Wei and smirked, "Hey, you should come down here for a second."

Wei paused mid-step, turning to face her. He blinked and arched a curious eyebrow, then bent at the waist until he was eye-level with the girl.
"....yes?"

"Ha!" she exclaimed excitedly as she placed the beanie over Wei's head. She adjusted it so it fit snugly. "Hmmm," she mused tilting her head to one side, "It looks different on you then it does on me and daddy."
She bent at the waist and squented her eyes, trying to get a better look, "I think your head might be a little bigger." She bit her lip and giggled, "It still looks cute, though."

Wei snorted.
"Of course my head is bigger," he joked. "I store food in there."
He attempted to huff his bangs out of his eyes, but the hat held them in place. "You know, you could probably keep this folded at the hem with a ribbon or something," he told her, pulling the fabric up with his thumb so her could see her out of one eye.

Momo clenched her hands into fists and held them infront of her face, peering over her knuckles. A broad grin was plastered over her face. He looked so cute!! hmmm, maybe cute wasn't the word . . . handsome?
She bit the knuckle of one of her fingers absent mindedly thinking. "Hmm, a ribbon would be cute," she muttered, "but it would HAVE to be pink!"
