And along came a wolf....

Jan 30, 2011 21:16

But it was too late to think of the what ifs now. Here he was and he was bound to stay, at least for another year, as much as he was opposed to the idea with every fiber of his being. He’d survived being on his own this long and doubted some fancy school was going to change that mindset. Still, the grounds were nice and wide, perfect for ( Read more... )

It was a good day for a nap outside, fresh breeze, and the air was warming itself enough to be comfortable. He had for the most part kept up with his work, made an effort to try to improve himself, but at his heart he was a lazy man and he knew it. Sleeping itself was one of life's greatest and cheapest pleasures, and could be had almost anywhere. While he had a bed now, which he enjoyed, it hadn't always been the case, and there was something more comfortable having the sky for a ceiling at times, reminded you of your place in the world, lonely as it might be.

He made his way to a tree for a bit of shade, the sun was nice, but bright lights had a tendency to prevent a restful sleep unless you were exhausted. Seeing someone else there, he shrugged and moved opposite to the other side of the tree. He lay down stretching out on the grass.

"Hola amigo, don't mind me... just having my afternoon nap" he said yawning and closing his eyes.

His hands were clasped behind his head as Tsume stared up into the sky. His mind had screeched to a complete and utter blank beyond the thought that he was getting a little hungry. But he was too comfortable lying under the tree to bother getting up.

Tsume peered around the tree and cast a glance at the newcomer when he spoke. He was a little close for comfort, but as long as he was more interested in sleeping than chatting, Tsume didn't mind the extra body lounging around. "do what you like."

He yawned yet again as he lay there, drowsiness creeping up on him. This student seemed like a lonely soul, he could relate. Many times he had been out in the world, feeling as though he was just a spectator, not made to be part of things. Even when part of a group he still had felt seperate, though he had eventually realized they were important to him, and he was important to them, at least a little. Hopefully this guy might find something similar.

"Mmmm, I appreciate it." he said calmly. "Let me know if there's a problem." he added in as an afterthought, you never knew what kind of craziness could go on at this school.

Starrk had hit the nail on the head with his assessment of Tsume. He kept everyone at arm's length, afraid that if he let them close, a disaster would eventually happen and he'd be left alone once more. Tsume would rather feel the loneliness of being on his own than the rejection of knowing someone would end up leaving him again.

"Will do," Tsume said, turning back around and situating himself on the other side of the tree once more. This wasn't so bad. As long as he ignored the sounds of breathing coming from the opposite side of the tree, it was like he was still completely alone.

Although he figured the student would prefer to be left alone, he figured he should at least issue a warning of sorts, he didn't mind people who skipped, but he imagined others might. Besides he hadn't introduced himself yet, not like he was going to get up or anything, but names were important.

"Coyote Starrk is the name, call me Starrk. Just so you know, most other faculty members would probably bust you for skipping, so I'd make sure to hide yourself a little better in the future, amigo." he advised. He didn't mention that there were some telepaths and others who could no doubt find them if they decided thats what they wanted, better to have him discover that on his own.

He looked up at the sky, sighing. "Though they'd be hard pressed to argue that it wasn't a good day for it." he added in a thoughtful kind of voice.

Tsume shrugged, hugging his knees to his chest. The advice was sound, but was falling on deaf ears. The only reason Tsume didn't come back with a snarky comment was because he didn't want to go pissing off any of the staff just quite yet. Frankly, he didn't care if he got physically hauled into a class. You could lead a wolf to water, but you couldn't make him drink.

"If they want me, they can come and find me." Tsume was having trouble resisting the urge to shift forms and go for a run. It'd been a long time since he was in such a wide open space. The city didn't have anything remotely close.

The kid reminded him of himself in his earlier years, probably more willful, but similar enough. Still hadn't received the name from him yet, but he supposed it would be one of those things that would eventually come to light if it was important. He shrugged at the thought, things would happen as they were meant to ( ... )
