Korlian sat quietly in the tree, humming to himself. There were too many professors nearby to risk playing his pipes, and he liked this tree. It had lots of large branches for him to sit in and lots of needles to hide him from the others in the courtyard but not enough to keep him from seeing them.
Which made for all sorts of opportunities, like that girl who was coming over now, the one who usually had lots of friends with her. She seemed nice... Though Angel seemed to scare her. He wondered why... was it the same reason he'd originally feared Angel? Because he was appearing as a vampire? Or the other reason...?

Hitomi strolled alongside Peace, talking idly of music and guitars. Peace was, quite obviously, much better at it than her, but she knew enough to be interested if nothing else. She simply hadn't the natural gift that Peace or Rudy had.
Something nagged at the edge of her vision. She almost hadn't noticed it--outside in the woods, the forest overpowered most things, and many that she had come across had been much more obvious--but there, near the trees... A faint glimmer that belonged to nothing human danced with erratic pace. It was close to Lhachlhass', but fainter and steadier. She stopped dead, her eyes fixed on him.

Peace walked on for three steps longer, chattering on about the differences between metal genres and why this was relevant to what Hitomi had asked, before realizing she'd stopped.
He stopped as well, and instinctively looked where she looked, sniffing the air. In this form, of course, that did nothing, and he felt a little embarassed.
"What is it? What's over there?"

Korlian gazed at her. She shouldn't have had any reason to look at his tree... He slid down the tree, his grey eyes friendly and inquisitive. Landing lightly, he looked at her carefully. Now, this was very intriguing... He stayed crouched as he had landed, watching her.

Hitomi carefully watched the strangely feline boy, easing toward him. He didn't appear particularly dangerous, though he still set her on edge.
"Who are you?" she asked quietly.

"Korlian," he answered softly. He moved toward her slowly, standing and inwardly groaning. He HATED being so SHORT! He smiled a little, trying to keep from flashing his fangs. She was edgy enough, and oh so interesting... "And what might your name be?"

"Hitomi," she replied quietly, hugging her books to her chest. "And this is Peace." She glanced sideways at her friend.

Peace swallowed the urge to chase Korlian off barking and put on a fake smile. Hitomi seemed really nervous, and that made him feel very protective.
He stepped forward and swung his hand out towards the much smaller boy to shake. "Nice to meet you," he chirped. "Are you in the Academy? I haven't seen you before."
Message sent: I am large and she is my friend. Be friendly.

Korlian shook it without a qualm. The message was taken... and ignored. He meant no harm, so felt no reason to even listen to the intimidation in Peace's actions.
"Hitomi... apple or pupil of the eye, Japanese," he said softly, looking at her. That one had been hard; he'd really had to think about it. But knowing the meaning and origin of a person's name tended to throw them off... so he'd studied every book of names he could get his hands on. Ian had been surprised... it was fun to do that to people. Surprise them, or just throw them off their train of thought entirely.

"That... that's right," she murmured. She tensed slightly. What could he want? Did he really only want to talk to her?

Peace looked between Korlian and Hitomi. The name thing was creepy, but it was socially-awkward-creepy, not I'm-going-to-kill-you creepy. He relaxed slightly and stuck his hands back into his jacket pockets.
Maybe she just didn't like the boy or something? He decided that it would be best to just stand beside her until he had some idea of what was going on.

Korlian smiled at her. "I don't bite. I'm not even as crazy as Lhachlhass."
He glanced at Peace. Bodyguard? That certainly was the impression he was giving. The werewolf certainly didn't seem to be a boyfriend of Hitomi's. Interesting girl, she was. She seemed to sense things others didn't.

Every hair on the back of her neck was standing on end. He was one of them, had nearly admitted it outright... But it was a hollow feeling, and from what little she could sense of him, he was no more dangerous than anyone else here. She shifted her books to her side, studying him more closely. He certainly had a peculiar way of carrying himself and interacting with people, but to one without her sight, he would have simply appeared to be a normal boy. Well, relatively normal, at least.
"Crazy people usually don't think they are," she replied mildly.

"True... I'll put it this way... I've never bitten anyone but my brother and I'm not planning on it," he grinned cheekily. "Besides, even those in loco parentis to me told me as much."
Looking at her books, he gestured at a bench. "Would it be easier for you and your friend to sit? That way I'm almost looking you in the eye."

Hitomi pursed her lips, thinking for a long moment. She glanced at Peace briefly, then edged toward the bench and took her seat on the far side. She would leave it to Peace whether he wanted to sit or not.

Korlian moved to stand in front of and slightly to the side of Hitomi, wondering why she was so intriguing. Well, she had seen him when he couldn't have possibly been seen... so maybe that was it. What did she see that others did not? "You have a brother here, do you not? Um... Hitoshi. Rooms with that Alex, got in a fight with the Wind boy... All verbal and magical. I watched the window shatter, and Thrall punched the Wind boy. The glass almost cut me."
His eyes narrowed as he tried not to lean in. She was already edgy and most people didn't like little boys in their face.

Hitomi's eyes widened slightly. Was it possible that he was simply being curious, or did he want something with her brother? It was very hard to tell. This one -- Korlian, he said his name was -- was terribly difficult to read.
"Yeah, that's him," Hitomi replied, twirling a strand of her hair nervously. "You just happened to be passing under the window, I suppose?" Or you make it a habit to spy on others through windows, like your brother.

"Not exactly... Frog was in there and so was the Wind boy... interesting things happen around the Wind boy, and I wanted to know more about Frog... Your brother just happened to be teaching the class.
"I wouldn't really call it teaching; more like trying to see if anyone could do what he wanted on their own and then he could claim he was teaching. It was obvious he didn't want to do it. No one ever looks out the window in this school, it's odd. People used to look out windows outside all the time when I was in other schools."
Korlian glanced at the werewolf, wondering why he wasn't doing anything. First he tried to scare the boy away, then he just... watched. Odd. Not that Korlian himself wasn't the oddest person in the area...

"Well, this school's weird," Peace finally spoke up, gesturing towards the forest. "People don't want to see what's out there. Other places, people want to be anywhere but in school... here, most people want to be anywhere but in the real world."
Even when they think they want otherwise. He sighed and leaned against the bench, not really wanting to sit down. Kid seems decent, though. I wonder how Hitomi saw him.

"People who are bored still usually look out the window... or in my case in," Korlian chuckled, his eyes flickering toward the forest. He kinda liked it... and was kinda scared of it. With very good reason. Especially this close to Samhain. It hadn't even switched seasons yet and he longed for Beltaine... To know he had six months of mostly safety. Seelie were nicer than unseelie.

Hitomi glanced toward the forest and shivered. Hitomi, at least, made a habit of not looking out the windows. There was nothing out there she wanted to see. But even still, no matter how hard she tried not to look, she could still feel it, pressing in around her. Suffocating her.
"You're very strange," she replied absently.

"I hear that a lot," Korlian grinned. "Do you think it has something to do with my heritage?"
His eyes narrowed a little, but he resisted the urge to lean closer to her again. "So... how did you see me? I know I was very well hidden, but you looked right at me as if I was picked out in a spotlight. How did you do it?"
And how can I avoid it in the future?

Hitomi's eyes widened for a moment, and she looked away. "I don't know what you mean," she replied quietly. "I just...did. I saw you."

"You couldn't have seen me in any normal way," Korlian pried. "You saw me otherwise. That means probably magically, but I know you aren't a mage. So how did you see me? What did you see that told you were I was?"
Now he leaned a little closer, but just a tiny bit, enough that she still had some room. He really wanted to know. Not even Lhachlhass could have seen him. Chlhass might have known he was there, but he wouldn't have seen him.

"Could you stop being creepy?" Peace said evenly. "Just a little."
This conversation seems unnecessary. He looked at Hitomi, then back at Korlian. But...
"You seem like you're looking for a specific answer. You've already said half of what you expect to hear, why don't you come out with the other half?"
