Hello? (Drazule)

[DANEEL IGNIS]

One would think dusk would be a good time to escape the eyes of everyone right? students worrying about curfew, making their way to their dorms, or even already in their dorms some falling asleep immediately, some reading, and the others doing whatever the heck they wanted. The gardens seemed empty enough, well at leased the amount of people were dwindling. 

Danni on the other hand, had found a nice hidden(ish) place behind a rosebush. Curling into a small ball, she sighed happily, knowing she won't be seen, so she had wiped off her makeup, and left her beloved hoodie back in her room.The patched of scales at the corner of her eyes (outwards, towards her temples) and the patched at her shoulder blades were uncovered by the infernal cover up she was forced to wear every day. With a happy trill, she unfolded her wings slightly, knowing no one could see her.

The gardens went quiet then, no more shuffling and no more quiet chatter, and she knew most if not all the students had left... she then flared out her wings, stretching them with a sigh, having them folded and pressed against her back put them into cramps constantly, but they usually weren't noticed, so she guessed it payed off.

She rolled onto her back, her blue eyes gazing up at the slowly appearing stars as the sky grew darker and darker. it was a really nice night tonight.

Drazule knew abotu the dorm rooms but didn't have a roomate nor did he wish to be in an enclosed space. He was in a dark place already cramped and tormented but now he was free and he was going to take adavantage of it. He saw other students leaving the garden so he figured he would check it out now. As he made sure less and less people were there, thats when he finally tossed his hood back letting his fur breath as he smiled breatihng in the cool night air. It was truly peaceful. "So this is what is called night, very interesting." He told himself mentally as he continued to stroll through the gardens.

As he walked down the bathrooms he made sure to bend over and breath in the different scents fomr the flowers and inspected them. From the touch to the smell and oddly enough the taste when he licked a pedal. Once again this was the first time he had come to earth well was forced to earth. Gazing back up into the sky he saw the stars shine and seemed to curse ot the heavens but did like the stars. Soemtihng about them were just magical in his opinion.

However as he was looking towards the darkned sky, his feet got tangled up in the baggy pants he wore to conceal himself and stumbled forward into a thorn bush letting out a quiet yell so as to not wake people. He pushed himself up and bega to pull thorns out of his webbed hand paws, his cheek and jsut some in his black fur. "Curse these plants as well." Clearly he found a plant well a bush he was not fond of for sure.

As Danni slowly relaxed with the sounds of the night hitting her ears, she felt herself dozing off in the grass. That is until a body fell into the bush she had been hiding behind. It trashed a bit, showering her with thorns and petals. She rolled again, her wings flailing out as she rolled. She landed in a crouch, her wings horizontal to the earth. She watched with pupils nothing more then slits as the student searched through what seemed to be fur for thorns. she kept herself hidden in the darkness, hoping her eyes weren't reflecting to much light from the moon.

She crept forward, not knowing this student, and wanting to observe him a bit. She had never seen an anthromorphic creature... it was fascinating, kinda what she had with her human form oddities, which she realized with a jolt of fear, were completely visible. She shuffled back a bit, not wanting to be noticed with her visible scales, which had a faint red color, resembling a blush. She growled in her head, kicking herself for leaving herself visible and out in the open. She tucked her wings in and crouched closer to the ground, her stomach pressing to the cold grass.

The male wriggled his nose as he plucked another thorn from it and sighed in annoyance wishing he could simply burn the bush down but he held back his chaotic side. It was never an easy task he wanted to ahve control but there was no true control for him unfortunately. It was strange, in the moonlight it seemed like the smoke markings on the males fur were actually rising. It was truly a spectacle to behold right now, but it usualy meant his chatic side would show.

as he was abotut o leave the garden though because of the pain he had recived he stopped and sniffed the air feelignt he cool wind press his cloth to his body along with feeling it flwo thorugh his fur. It enver really went in the wind because of the natural oils that kept it down. But he had a strange feeling like he was being watched and for someone who was never a fan of being followed he quickly spun around and began to scan the area. Drazule made sure to flip his hood back up as the smoke encase in his eyes began to move. "Whoever is there better show themselves before this place is burned down." His tone changed to a calm demeanor to a guarded one and it was easy to see that he was serious.

"One last time, show yourself." He said once mroe taking a step and simply looking around mostly focusing his gaze on trees someone might hide behind. This was his first day so he wasn't sure what alot of students were capable of doing so he had to keep his guard up.

Daneel rolled her eyes smirking a bit. "Ya, because burning this place down would be sooooo effective in scaring me off, just make it a bit more comfortable" she said, smirking. She stood up slowly, still taking his threat slightly seriously, she held up her hands, palms facing the male. "Calm down, I'm right here, no need to burn our new home down..." she said, hoping against hope the shadows were still covering her visible scales.

Danni folded up her wings, making herself seem smaller, not wanting to frighten the student. "Don't have to be so hot headed" she said, knowing how lame the pun had been, but maybe some tension release is what they needed. She noticed how quick he had been to return his hood over his head, and compared it to her own dire need to get hers back over her torso to hide the scales on her shoulder blades. "Uhhh do you need any help? with the thorns i mean..." she asked, feeling a bit awkward, but it showed she meant no harm, and was offering to help... that's a good idea... right?

TDrazule turned towards the sound of the voice and simply fixated his gaze upon the female that was standing up. He heard what she said about if he had burned this place down down it would make her comfortable, however it would not have burned it would have all jsut turned to ash. He tried to get a better look at her but the darkness was crowding around which made thigns a little more difficult to do until he looked up at the mon and seen how it was reflecting. So as he talked he ebgan to move around the female keeping his distance.

Drazule made sure he could walk still in his baggy clothing, as much as he ahted it, he had to keep them on. The downfall though was that there was a strong aroma of fish because of his lunch and jsut his natural scent but there was also the smell of smoke on him. Upon hearing the comment he just chuckled a little slowly easing up but stillon guard. "Im no pyro madam. Also no i do not need assistance thanks but how long have you been there?" He asked jsut making sure his hunches were correct. Also the fact he figured she had seen him due to her mentioning the thorns.

The male made sure he stopped circling the female, he was simply trying to get her more into the moon light tog et a better look ather appearance. he wasn't fond of this cloak and dagger stuff unless it was him but that's what everyone said.

"I was... uh curled up behind the rose bush when you fell in, Usually this place is barren or people, so paranoid people like me tend to like theses sort of places..." she said, chuckling, her arms still held up. She could tell by the way he was circling her that she was still hidden in shadow, he was trying to get her to move, and she normally would have, maybe.... but her scales were still very visible.  Thankfully she could cover the shoulder scales with her wings, but the patches at the corners of her eyes were out in the open.

"Im not here to hurt you, but I do have a question, why do you wear such baggy clothes? they can't be comfortable..." she asked, wanting to complement him on his fur, but the way he acted and dressed pointed towards trying to hide his physical appearance... And she could relate to that feeling...

Danni had an idea, she slowly crouched down, her fingers picking up a small amount of dirt. She quickly rubbed the substance on her scales, hiding the red color nicely. She then stepped forward, palms up. She walked slowly, cautiously, her wings curled at an odd angle to hide the red markings on her shoulder blades.

The male looked at her closely as she talked and could see the red scales at the corner of her eyes. Was she kind of shape shifter. "I see." He wasn't a big talker especially the fact when he had no idea what to talk about. He was still trying to figure out what she was but he figured he was going to need to ask her out front, there wasn't really anything to be afraid of. If he had to run he would but there was something about her that was interesting other then the scales.

"Never said you were to here to hurt me, you said you were here first." He explained as he continued to look at her scales from under the hood he wore. "I wear the clothes i do because i hate turning into a human which is very uncomfortable." He was actually beginning to open up to this female. "How about you, what are you? I know your not human." He said pointing at the patches of scales on the corner of her eyes. "You show me your true self and i will in return." He suggested as he crossed his arms looking at her.

He saw her approaching him but he didn't move seeing her but he did look at her cautiously wondering what she was trying to do. Drazule was able to see the dirt and knew the smell well. Thinking back when he had mentioned the human form he remembered that because he was on earth he had the power to turn into it but he never did.
