happening to pass by, but pauses when she notices a familiar boy from her class. Quietly comes a bit closer, hiding behind a tree, curious_

what he was doing here.

just stands there, as though he's waiting for someone (or something) from the forest to approach him. He doesn't notice the other, paying_

no attention to anything else but the spot he was staring at.

, pretty sure the other doesn't see her, starts moving a bit closer, trying to notice what he's staring at.

smiles a little as the presence with in the forest gets closer. He starts speaking in his own language to it, suddenly a large arm reaches_

out towards him.

jumps back and claps her hands over her mouth, watching the arm with fright. What was that thing?!

hears something and pinpoints the noise. The hairy hand quickly recedes back into the trees and the silver-haired boy glared at the_

stranger before him.

curses under her breath, smiles nervously and waves, "E-em.. Hola..?"

walks up to her and observes her, thinking he might've seen her before. "Did you see any of that?" He asked, going straight to the point.

takes a step back, "..A-and what if I did?" huffs and crosses her arms on her chest.

takes a step forward, "I might just have to wipe you out." He said with indifference in his tone or facial expression.

blinks a few times, then looks at him with a frightened expression, "..Y-you w-won't do that th-though, right..?" mumbles shakily.

looks away. "Sorry, I was only kidding." He tells her, even though his expression doesn't really show it. "Just don't tell anyone about it_

please."

sighs in relief, huffs at him, "..Fine, fine. But that joke was *not* funny."

tilts his head. "Really? I thought it was funny.. By the way, have we met?"

raises her eyebrows, "..Yeah, think so.. We go to some classes together I guess."

looks at her again, seeing if he remembers seeing her. "... Oh right." He lies.

frowns, "..Right. Anyway, I don't really know your name.." chuckles nervously and scratches the back of her head/

.*

holds out a hand. "Freyr Hansen. And you are..?."

grins widely, "Laia Vives!" takes his hand and shakes it.

lets go after the shake. "Nice to meet you, Laia. What were you doing here anyways?"

tilts her head, "Just walking around, I'm pretty much bored." looks at the Forest, "..If I can ask.. What was that.. Thing?"

follows her gaze to the forest. "A troll. He's very nice." He answered bluntly.

"A.. Troll? Never seen one.. Until now, I guess."

nods. "Really? I see them all the time. But there are a lot more interesting creatures inside." He informs, seeing nothing wrong with that.

very curious, "..Like what?"

starts numbering. "Hippogriffs, centaurs, thestrals, and more.."

tilts her head, "Thestrals? Thestrals.. Thestrals.." tries to recall what they were.

goes back to the forest entrance to see if he can find one for her. "They're practically like this."

goes after him, looking around, "Aha. Do you think we'll see any?"

looks around. "I don't know. They're usually hard to find.. But there's a rumor saying that if you've seen death, then you can see them.."

pauses for a while, then mumbles a soft 'Then I'll probably see them..' and starts looking around again.

heard that, but pretends he didn't. "You know, I don't believe in those rumors.. Look!" He points in the distance. A dark winged creature_

grazes at a patch of grass in the forest.

looks into the distance, then notices it too, "Aha, I can see it! Do you think we can come closer and take a look?"

looks at her. "You want to go in the forest? I don't mind."

looks at him and grins, "Sure, why not?" pulls his sleeve and goes further into the forest, trying not to scare the thestral away.

being tugged in. He never thought he'd meet someone so reckless and not to mention fearless. "We should slow down a bit." He whispers.

looks back at him and pauses, "..You think so?" whispers back.

nods. "They're pretty sensitive to their surroundings." He slowly approaches it and speaks in his own dialect.

surprised at the dialect, not understanding a word from what he's saying. Follows him, trying to be as quiet as possible.

stops in front of it and pets the creatures head. "He said it's okay for you to pet him."

smiles and walks up to the thestral, petting it gently, "It.. He looks rather friendly."

smiles a little. "He is. And he's pretty cute too."

chuckles and hugs the creature, "You're so cute, you know~" tells the thestral softly.

watches them snuggle each other. "Seems like he likes you. But I'm kinda surprised you can see him."

huffs slightly, "Well, I can. And I like him a lot too, he's so sweet~"

won't go any further with that question then. "I see." He looks at to the school, to make sure no one else sees them there. "Have you been_

in the deeper parts of the forest before?"

looks up at him, "Once, I think. Don't remember much from it though. Why?"

shrugs. "I was just curious." Since he himself has been in there many times now. "It's going to get late soon.." He points out.

raises an eyebrow, "So?"

looks at her blankly. "I'm hungry."

blinks, "..Go get something to eat then."

tilts his head. "You're not coming?"

shakes her head, "Nah, I'm going to stay a bit with him." grins and hugs the thestral.

nods and turns around. "Just be careful of the other creatures though. They're not all as friendly as he is." He starts walking towards the_

school.

nods, "Kay, kay, I can take care of myself." stands of the thestral, "..You probably can fly, eh? Lucky." smiles and pets him.
