Sparrow rolls their eyes at the cheeky comment. "I feel like that won't be the first time I hear that one, huh?" Letting out an amused snort of laughter he shakes his head. "I mean, its kinda close? I'm still a bird I guess, just not as....tiny. Though honestly being a house sparrow wouldn't be horrible. Less overt than a hawk." Chomping down on a handful of trail mix he notices a blankness pass over Rachel momentarily. Rather than probe her they simply let her have her moment. Sparrow was probably the least nosiest person on the planet. Everyone has baggage, and it wasn't his job to go prying. Once she spoke again Sparrow shot her another small smile, something that seemed to be normal for them. Hell, he would probably look weird if he had a normal sized smile. "Thanks, I appreciate it a lot." After lightly chuckling at her comment over homework (she wasn't wrong, he'd probably need those spots come finals) he thought to himself for a small moment before asking, "Having been here a few times, do you know any nice photo spots? Weird request, I know." Scratching the back of his head he adds "I promised my brother that I'd send him some nice camera shots." Sparrow grabs out a sticky note from his back and writes down his phone number and instagram (flighty_photographer) before handing it to his new acquaintance. "Here, in case you need to contact me. Or want to. Both are cool." Unlike that southern guy he saw earlier, Sparrow didn't try to be something he wasn't. He knew he probably came off more awkward than slick giving her the note, but at this point they could care less. "And honestly I'd appreciate a library tour. You seem pretty "nice" yourself." They smile as they say it, tone light and calm. |

(Walking with Grim) Dallas Bishop flinched at the touch, despite himself. His eyes met Grim's sheepishly. The scars were alarming, sure, obviously this guy had a rough life up to this point, but his shock was actually at the gentleness of the gesture. Bishop hadn't had a bad life. He wasn't covered in scars, or burns, or eye injuries. He simply didn't have a family that was prone to touch as a love language. Here, as a bridge of friendship from the larger man, Bishop was thoroughly embarrassed for himself. "Oh, heh, it's no problem. Sorry about that. I hope you're ok. Looks like, uh, a mythical thing." Stupid! He thought to himself. Bishop imagined his brain rattling around in his skull, begging to be listened to. "Im totally cool if you want to retry first impressions after you get patched up. No worries." Ultimately, he was incredibly curious. What had happened to Grim?? Bishop couldn't imagine making a makeshift bandage to heal your open wounds. He found himself not wanting to ask. It might be too personal. Hell, it was almost none of his business. Was this what college was like? Meeting people whose experiences would haunt you for the rest of your life? ——— Rachel Mus (With Sparrow at the cafeteria) Her voice was simple, "I'm a white fancy mouse. Nothing too crazy." Immediately she moved on. A hawk! She felt jealousy coagulate at the base of her ribs. Sparrow was too cool so far, though, so she powered through. "Flighty photographer? You must see all sorts of beautiful things that high up." Rachel added them and briefly scrolled, just enough to get an eyeful and not enough to distract herself from the conversation. "You're well on your way. In a lot of ways, you're already doing what this college ultimately hopes to do: provide a connection between your animal self and something you love." She knew a tag of RachelMusOfficial would pop up for them. "My user is my full name and official. It's in the event I get famous one day." That was partially a joke, partially not. As it was, it was currently set up like an influencer's portfolio. Golden hour selfies at the beach, well lit gym fitness, good food, family vacations. A carefully curated love letter of things she enjoyed, processed into posts to gain online traction. She found a post about two years ago, when she had been here for one of her sister's orientations. It was of all the sisters together, backs turned to the camera, the sky of Lockhold in full glory around them. She turned it to show Sparrow, "We're pretty close to the ocean, so there's a few small beaches and lighthouses along the coast. It's nothing too fancy, and I've only been down there for short walks, but it's nice." Rachel turned her phone back to herself and tried, in vain, to find more photos of the water. "The whole town is a safe haven for shapeshifters, so as long as you start recognizing the regulars they won't freak out when you're not human anymore." |

(Skipping his arrival) Brutus had just arrived and finished his own small tour of the area as he missed the time when there was one, he came from a different country specifically Russia. But he was in time for lunch and luckily he knew where the cafeteria, making his way there trying his best not to bump anyone in his path as someone like him with an unnatural size had to do his best to stay hidden away from normal eyes. He smiled at those who passed by on his path until he got to the cafeteria entrance. (In the cafeteria) Brutus looked around wondering what to do, he studied English but he wasn't good at speaking it as it got him trouble just trying to get here. He saw a few people who seemed pretty calm to hang around but the moment they saw, they turned away pretty quick. Remembering there was a mini bag in his pocket as they cafeteria didn't have what he normally liked to eat or what his body could handle, he moved to a table that seemed quiet and alone with only two people sitting there he moved to the end and sat alone, taking out the small black bag and pulling out four mice that was either frozen alive or dead. Wondering what he'll do for the day or who he'll meet that won't run away for once as it was beginning to bore him as at first it was funny to watch them run, as of now it was just bothering and lonely to watch, so sitting on the edge or the table mainly sitting on the floor due to the fact he won't fit on the seat, he laid back with his mice and relaxed waiting for something the happen. ___ Grim Graver Grim was calm for the rest of the walk mainly wondering if Bishop was going to get tired of walking as he seemed pretty up to beat with himself and someone who's bigger which causes him to be faster than most. "I can carry you if you like? It'll give me something to lift for the time being." He spoke softly the growl in his throat was lower an calm as the cool air felt nice on his open chest, thinking on what guy said "It looks like a mystical thing.." Those words really hung onto him, but he could understand he Bishop said that cause then again he didn't say he's never seem a mystic in person before so it was a big thing for him. Grim looked at Bishop not really realizing he was staring it was just something about this person walking beside him that really amazed him, to have all his current attention focused on this one being. He was friendly and didn't run or talk bad about him which was the real reason to why now he'll do his best to grow this friendship to it's maximum potential, so he'll never feel aloe again. ___ Dagger Graver Dagger was happy to see two people walk up to him, the guy being very attractive and the girl looking so adorable but he caught onto the signing when he was asked if he was lost, "Yeah, Could you help me get to the dorm area? It's slot 3 but I can't find it as I missed the tour." He said jokingly as he signed not know which one of them that were deaf but it was better to be safe rather than sorry. he stood up gathering his luggage and hoping he could get help or if he'd have to roam a little more before he could find where he's trying to go. Smiling he moved his hair out the way flashing a friendly smile to them both, he felt that it was rude to stay down and not at least introduce himself too due to the fact he was wearing rich clothes and mainly because his saw this a chance to make friends. |

Sparrow raised a eyebrow at her curt reveal of her animal, but didn't press. She gave off the vibe that she didn't wanna talk about it. Personally, Sparrow thought it was kinda cool. There's a lot of things smaller animals can do that larger ones can't. Scrolling through her insta, he couldn't help but be reminded of every single influencer on the planet. However some posts did have some nice photography, and one of her and her siblings at the beach put a small grin on his face. "I'll have to stop by town then. Sounds like a pretty decent place. Also, if you need any pictures taken for your socials I'd be happy to do it. Seriously, I like doing photos for people." Sparrow was about to go on and ask about the whole shifter-connection thing when they heard a soft thump near them. Glancing to the side, Sparrow nearly did a double take. A huge dude, probably over seven foot, was sitting at the very edge of the booth, practically falling out of it. Eyebrows raised he slowly shifted to look back to Rachel. A very obvious question was being directed at her without words: Is this normal? |

Avarenth "sure i could show you my dorm is right next yours." he said with a smile he tilted his head a little and signed to his sister and his sister signed lovebirds and rolled her eyes he grabbed his sisters hand to make sure she didn't get lost she had a tendency of getting lost and without being able to hear it was harder for her to find her way "follow me if you want to live!" he said making a terminator reference and of course his sister paid no attention because she can't hear his geekiness thankfully Amaris she looked at the obvious chemistry between her brother and this boy and she sighed and just stood there clinging unfortunately to her brothers hand so she didnt get lost this place was way too big for her liking and she just felt bad beacuse she felt like a burden |

Brutus swallowed two of his mice he didn't chew, he simply swallowed them whole his purple snaked eyes scanning the area. Seeing so many people made his body shiver, the thoughts of how many others that were like a thrill he's never had before but it would also be a challenge due to the appearance he was suffering with. Sitting up he moved off the bench with the fear of breaking it under his weight. At the corner of his eye, he noticed that one of the other ones at the table looked at him then looked away, it brought a smile to him to slowly get up and silently walking over. Sitting down carefully behind the guy towering over him, Brutus's shadow swallowing Sparrow's shadow. He had a sharp smile, his eyes glowing a dark purple under the shadow made by his hair. Being deadly quiet care sometimes be a blessing while most times it can scare the *Beep* out of someone, so he sat there and waited till the small guy realized that he wasn't at the end of the table no more. |

Rune, after some time of calming himself, was able to get moved in properly and was now making his way over to the building Malena had signaled towards before leaving him. On the way over he spotted several other students and felt a bit out of place since they all looked like they were from wealthier families and he looked like a messy lost kitten. He looked to the ground and continued towards the building, not really looking where he was going. |

(Walking with Grim) "Oh no, no, I'll definitely just walk." Bishop wasn't nearly ready for the sort of trust required for him to be carried by another man. Frankly, he wasn't sure if he's ever be ready. He imagined the carry to be bridal style in his mind. It might have made him laugh if he was less nervous. They came upon the little cafe not much later. Bishop felt his mind ease as the threat of Grim's bleeding scar was taken care of. The larger man was resourceful, but he hoped he was truly ok. When you're self reliant, you can solve your problems, but you might need more help than what you can give yourself. "So did you say you've been here before?" Bishop squinted towards the front of the cafe where a menu was posted. There seemed to be a majority of snacks and take out meals available for the student on the go. He made a note in his head to come here in the future if he was ever late to a meal. "What's good here? I'll try any food once." ——— Rachel Mus ((With Sparrow and Brutus in the cafeteria)) "Yeah for sure, it would be super fun to go to the beach sometime together. When-" She met Sparrow's eyes and her voice trailed off. Her gaze traveled to the extremely tall and beefy looking man sitting at the other end of the table… eating mice of all things. Her dark eyes snapped back to Sparrows with an uncomfortable expression, I don't freaking know, but I don't like it. To Rachel's horror, he moved closer and sat next to her much shorter and normal looking new friend. Visually, he was a nightmare for her. Rough looking, scarred, huge, and sharp toothed. Eating mice. He was everything a well off young woman who happened to be a mouse shifter wouldn't choose to introduce herself to. No longer hungry, she shoved her plate away with her fingers. "Hi," Her voice was icy and sharp, "Can I help you?" |

Looking around the café he nodded to Bishop's question and pointed at a small photo of a bear shaped cream-cake. "This one is good and then there's sushi, steaks, ect." Speaking with a groan as he was rubbing his covered eye, trying his best to keep his mind off it but it was inly getting worse as the cloth cover was beginning to turn red in the middle. "Try anything, tell them at it's on Graver's bill! I need to- " Before he could finish talking he collapsed to the ground, the patch leading a small red line to the side as he landed on his side. It was unfortunate that this had to happen at a bad time, he thought everything was going to be fine but he was clearly wrong to just pass out while talking to his new friend. ___ Brutus Withering Brutus looked at the girl who seemed very unhappy with his presents. Even though his focus was on sparrow that was infront of him, he wasn't rude to not look up at smile at her as her tone and expression didn't bother him one bit. His tongue flickered like as his eyes were back on the small guy, still having the small black bag in his hand he popped a mouse into his mouth it's tail being the only thing slightly hanging out like a soft pointed noodle. This was interesting so far with someone who seems to already not like him and a dude who doesn't seem to know that Brutus is behind him yet, it made him want to laugh but it would give him away quicker if she didn't give him away somewhat. |

Sparrow blinked in confusion as Rachel looked above him and asked, rather rudley, if she could help them. They blinked in confusion for a moment before glancing to his side. Big Man was gone. Nervously the smaller Sparrow turned to look behind him, and a chill ran through his spine. Beefy Boy was now behind him staring down, eyes glowing.... wait, eyes glowing? The f**k? Sparrow always knew he looked odd because of his shifter heritage ( icy red eyes aren't exactly common) BUT GLOWING? Sparrow gulped as he noticed the rat tail hanging out of their mouth, and unconciously moved to cover Rachel up more. The fact his new friend is quite literally a mouse didn't exactly make him feel great. Trying his best to look calm and personable, Sparrow gave a weak smile. "Yeah uh.... can I help ya with something?" Sparrow wasn't exactly scared. Rather, just very, VERY uncomfortable with why this dude was interested in them. |
