Lance Talon walked up to the abandoned school house with his hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face. His red hair which had a nasty habit of getting in his eyes, was doing just that, and getting in his way. Reaching up even as he walked, to flick the red lock away, Lance half smirked wondering who he was going to find today. It was only a little bit past nine o'clock, but the sun had fallen well into the west, and all that could be used to see was the scaling moon, stars, and occasional street lights. The entire day had been spent out doing different versions of skating and the like, but now Lance was just kin the mood to sit back and chill.
As he stepped onto the steps of the schoolhouse, Lance found the floor boards of the main patio area shift a fraction and creek somewhat tiredly. Testing his weight on the boards before finally stepping up on them and then up a few more steps, Lance took two more steps and was t the front door of the schoolhouse. Taking a hold of it with one hand, Lance opened the door lightly and looked inwards wondering if there was anyone in the vicinity or whether or not he would have to wait for someone to come.

Living in Noel Town had its perks... but it also had its disadvantages. For starters, it was a rather small place. There wasn't much to do, most people went to Softrock City where things were a bit more lively. Today though, Tye had decided to stay in Noel Town. There weren't any meetings to be called and she didn't have to meet any the other leaders for Peace Meetings. Not that that was one of her favorite things to do but it kept things good with each clan.. so, they were generally worth the time.
For now though, the Dragon Clan leader was content to walk around her small town. For at least a moment she didn't have to worry about anything. She could just enjoy her time and go to... where would she go? The Super Market? No, she didn't need any groceries. So where did that leave? The Abandoned Schoolhouse! Perfect! The vampires shouldn't be holding a meeting today and as long as she didn't do anything that would disrupt the clan she was fine.
She arrived at the Schoolhouse to see that someone already had her idea. A man looked that looked about her age was there. He had dark red hair. It looked rather healthy, and from what she could tell by his skin (which wasn't much since his back was turned to her) it was pale. As she came closer to him a distinct scent hit her nose. That of a griffin... Tye's dark amber eyes blinked once as she looked at the griffin for a moment longer. Then, she spoke.
"Hello, griffin. Nice day to be at the Abandonded Schoolhouse isn't it? I just hope no vampires show up, they'll probably think we're trying to mount an attack." Her voice flowed out sounding polite and light although her last could hold a bit of truth in it. Although, it was highly unlikely that any vampires would show up. [/size] |

Lance had his sights off in a different direction and turned a fraction behind him to find a woman standing in the arch of the abandoned schoolhouse. Keeping a light grin on his face even as she continued talking obviously knowing what he was, he nodded a bit to himself and breathed in the air. Dragon.... was what came to mind out of the entire situational thought. However, much he felt himself tighten up, Lance instantly relaxed it again as he turned around.
"Well hello as well, dragon," he answered back with a smirk resting on his face. Once again the red locks were in his way, and Lance found himself methodically flicking them away even as he talked. "It is a nice place, indeed," he commented with a calm grin. "And if the vampires show up, we'll just all play a game and have a good show of things," he commented lightly back. "We're all on good terms, no?"
This last part, Lance was just stipulating, more or less due to the fact that there hadn't been any full scale wars in quite some time, and at least from his point of view, the treaties were rather stable in keeping the peace of things. "And how are you today?" he grinned lightly.
((OOC: sorry I didn't reply to this sooner, I was sick yesterday.))

Tye watched as the griffin flicked the bangs away from his face. Those had to be annoying at times. She was glad that in her human and dragon form she didn't have bangs that fell into her face. "Yes, we are all on good terms. Hopefully it will last. This is the first time in a long while that our clans actually haven't been fighting." She didn't know if her words were completely truthful... She didn't know if the clans had ever been peaceful before now. As far as she had known there had always been violence. It was nice to not have to worry about fighting and death at the moment. She didn't want any of her clan (especially her sister) to be hurt or even killed.
And how are you today?" [/i] Tye gave a lazy smile and ran a hand through her hair. "Quite good. Happy that in this day and age you can walk in another clan's territory without worrying about being attacked." It was so nice. She hadn't been around before the treaties so she didn't know what it was like to feel threatened whenever you weren't within your own boundaries... but it couldn't have been too nice. "Yourself?"The woman walked up to stand right outside the door of the School. From this position she was right beside the man, she hoped he wouldn't be intimidated by her since nine times out of ten he shouldn't know who she was. Only clan leaders really knew other clan leaders. Subordinates were usually left in the dark about other clan's members, unless they took the opportunity to find out about others themselves. However, she wondered if the man would ask for her name. If she spoke it maybe it would ring a bell for him and he'd know who she was... Who knew? "Ever wonder what this place was like before it was abandoned?" Tye asked absentmindedly. She grabbed a hold of the door and carefully opened it. The old thing gave a creak as she opened it fully to reveal the inside of the wooden building. The schoolhouse was out of use much before she was born.[/blockquote] ((It's fine, you can't help when you get sick. And I'm glad you feel better today))[/size] |

Rather easily pleased with the conversation and it's directions of things, Lance smirked back. "I'm pretty good," he answered back in an easy going tone that the griffin used most of the time. It was neither a threatening nor intimidating tone use which was why the red haired man preferred it among other things. Watching the woman step up the steps to stare at the door is well, Lance felt his hands methodically go to his pockets where they found a relaxed place to be, more or less. His eye moved lightly over the woman. She was a dragon, and that was about all the information that came to mind for Lance. It didn't even occur to him to ask for the dragon's name. However, it would be an after thought, later, and even then it wouldn't appear on the high demand list of things to know.
Curiosity broke on the red haired man's face as the woman talked about what the schoolhouse had actually been like. "Not sure," he answered back. "It's pretty old, and it looks like it's on the way down now a days." He made several motions to deep jagged scratch marks and things on the arch of the doorway. "Either that or they had some pretty nasty cats back then."
Stepping inside, Lance heard the floorboards creak from the weight as though complaining about being stepped on. A careful eye seemed to appear on Lance as he made sure to watch his footing in the area just in case the yowling floorboards wished to drop or something of the like. The red haired man had had too many instances where things broke at the last moment and made a mess of things. However, most of the time it was during skateboarding and not really with walking. However, this last part didn't register in Lance's mind, so he remained cautious anyways.
((thanks~))

Tye looked at the marks he indicated and nodded. Must have been pretty nasty cats indeed. The woman ran her fingers gently along the scratches. "I'm surprised it's not condemned. I didn't think humans let old buildings with no interesting history stay 'round for long. She had seen many a building being torn down by humans simply because they were too old. Tye didn't see the reasoning behind this. If the building wasn't bothering anyone or anything then leave it standing.
Tye watched as Lance stepped inside first. She expected the floorboards to fall out under him, but she was disappointed. Nothing like that happened. The floorboards held up with little more than creaking. So, she followed after the man. Her sharp eyes picked up little more than cobwebs, old desks, and a really old looking blackboard. It reminded her of her days in school. She was more than happy that those days were over though. She couldn't do with another day of homework.
The woman herself walked over to one of the desks. A layer of dust coated it so she took it upon herself to wipe it off before testing its sturdiness. She leaned against it with a little bit of weigh, a little more, half, then she sat in it. After all, if vampires could use this place (although if they used the desks or not was debatable) she could as well. "Ha, I feel like a student sitting in this thing." She was halfway amused. It was sort of nice to go poking around places and forgetting your responsibilities. [/size] |

Walking around carefully as he looked at the school boards and things, Lance said nothing for a bit as he continued to examine the things. It was a wonder of thing as to why something would simply turn to ruin, but then again, humans did have a habit of simply leaving something instead of taking care of it. As the woman brought up the idea of sitting in school again, Lance felt his teeth nip the inside of his mouth. He was never good in school, never fond of it, and certainly never willing to admit that the latter was the reason for the prior. He simply had no patients for it and was all to happy to be done with the educational system when the times was finally called for. However, in another minute, Lance looked over with a half smirk on his face.
"Alright class," he answered back bringing his voice up a few octaves as if trying to mimic an old teacher or something. "Sit in your desks properly students and Thomas Atki sit in your desk correctly for the one thousandth time." Lance walked up and appeared to shake a finger at an empty desk as if there were really someone there. "And Miss Jennifer McClair stop flirting with Jimmy Miklo before i send you both outside." Again, more gesturing to empty desks. After a moment, the red haired man broke off and simply started laughing with an easy calmness about him. "You should try it," he commented to the woman. "It's fun."

At first during the man's mocking Tye was lost, until she realized that he looked quite silly. She began laughing herself. Who knew that a simple griffin subordinate could know how to have so much fun? Maybe subordinates did know how to have more fun, the didn't have any duties like leaders did... so maybe it came natural. Maybe she should try it today.
The woman rose from her seat and went to stand in the front of the old class room. She gazed around with a grave expression like she figured one of her teachers would. "Now class, pay attention. We are going to learn- Katie put that note up before I take it!-pronouns." Tye gave a charming smile and walked over to the old blackboard. It would have been too much to ask for a piece of chalk to still be there... so she wasn't surprised when there wasn't one. However, she decided to build off of this.
Tye turned back around to her imaginary class and put on a mock angry face. "Alright, which one of you took my chalk? Was it you, Thomas? I bet it was, you young little fiend!" While she kept up a glare at an empty desk although you could hear a few giggles coming from her. This really was fun! She had never done this before and she liked it!
Soon her giggles turned into laughter and her angry facade fell apart. "Wow! This is nice, and fun! I hardly ever get to have fun!" She said during a break in her merryment. [/size] |

Taking a step back and watching the new teacher talk to the class, Lance smirked a bit as he watched her giving out the usual words a teacher would. Laughing a bit as he watched, Lance couldn't help but smirked even more. However, this quickly dropped the second he heard she rarely had fun like this. It dumbfounded him for a good twenty seconds before the griffin blinked again. "Really?" he asked in surprise at the comment. The somewhat socially blind griffin had never figured that anyone didn't have that much fun on a regular basis. It should come as natural, at least this is what the young griffin thought to himself.
"If so then you should really learn to have more fun!" he grinned lightly before suddenly moving to a desk and sitting in it. Waving his hand up with an obscure expression on his face, Lance called out. "Ms. Teacher! Ms. Teacher! Bobby's the one who stole your chalk!" with an index finger, the griffin made a point at an empty desk where the supposed Bobby person was. Even going so far as to teasingly stick his tongue out at the desk person as though he had won some sort of even or something, Lance looked back at the woman and half grinned before suddenly returning to his childish face. "Make him go stand in the corner with his nose in the wall!' he continued on in his somewhat childish accent.

Tye could easily see that the man was surprised at her statement. "Yeah, really. My... schedule doesn't really allow for much fun. She wondered if the griffin knew anything about having to put other things in front of your own well being. Maybe, but not to the degree of a clan leader. Maybe she should tell him who she was... but no. He would probably be intimidated and she didn't want that. So, she wouldn't tell unless he asked.
Tye watched as he moved to sit in a seat, then her face broke out into a wide grin as he started waving his arms around, even going so far as to impersonate a kid's voice. For the sake of the ruse though she muffled her laughter and put on a severe expression. "Aha! I should have known it was you, Bobby!" She turned a polite smile on the "student" who had told. "Thank-you for telling me, young dear, and don't stick your tongue out at the bad students. It isn't nice." She waved a finger at him like he was a naughty young boy.
She turned her eyes back onto the desk that supposedly contained Bobby. "Now, as your classmate says, you will go stand in the corner facing the wall! Now hop to it!" She had on more than one occasion had to discipline her clan mates (not making them put their nose in a corner, mind you) so she was rather good at imersonating an angry teacher voice. "Don't talk back to me! Or shall I have to call your parents as well as making you stand in the corner?" She then turned her back, satisfied that her student would listen to her. The dragoness headed to the big desk at the front of the room where she figured the teacher sat.
She sat down on top of the desk and started giggling again. Within seconds she had completely lost it. Laughing loudly with tears coming out of her eyes. She managed to get herself under control after a bit though and she began speaking, "Wow, Mr. Griffin, if you have fun like this a lot like I think you do then you simply must teach me about it. I could do with a break like this everyday." She said lightheartedly while wiping her eyes. |

Lance simply laughed back happy to see that they could both enjoy themselves and that the teacher wasn't too strict. If school had actually been like this, he would have had more fun, no doubt Lance's mind. Listening as the woman talked about having fun again, Lance began to wonder just how someone could not have fun. It was strange, but he simply shoved it back into the back of his mind where a lot of questions were stored including the ones concerning the future of himself. There was no real answer to be had that he wanted to hear, anyways for Lance lived in the present. They were both enjoying themselves now, so what did it worry him?
"Well you should try having more fun! I have a lot of fun every day!" he insisted suddenly with a smirk on his face. A grin was all but plastered on his face. Looking around the school hours again, Lance suddenly grinned to himself and walked over towards what had once been the shelf for back packs and things. "Do you think anyone left any back packs?" he asked grinning back before turning around. However, it wasn't a black pack that caught his eye. The red glistening of an object reflected back at Lance. "Hu?" he asked aloud.

Tye returned the griffin's smirk with one of her own. "Well then, maybe I should come hang out with you more so I can have as much fun as you do." She said jokingly with a giggle. She watched as the griffin looked around for a moment. She wondered what he was looking for, however, she didn't fel like prying. So she just leaned back against her hands and looked up at the ceiling. "Do you think anyone left any back packs?" The dragoness shrugged her shoulders and glanced toward the grinning man. A grin forming on her own face. "I don't know, maybe, maybe not." Instead of looking back up at the ceiling she kept an eye on the man to see if he would find anything... She doubted it though, this place was old.
"Hu?" That most likely meant he had found something. So, she hopped off the desk and walked over to the griffin. She stopped once she was beside the man. "What? Did you find a-" She stopped talking when the red glistening of an object caught her eye. She peered at it but couldn't tell what it was. Also, she didn't know how anything could still be in this old building after so long. "Wow, what is that?" She said out loud. [/size] |

Lance was deft for words to use. He simply stared for a minute before finally holding up what appeared to be a solid sphere of red glass. The light that bounced off and through the object made it shimmer more than usual, and all Lance found himself doing was staring at it. "It's pretty...." he said unsure of what else to say on the matter. The red haired man had no idea what in the world it was or why it was there, yet he liked the look of it. A strange coveting feeling ran through Lance, and for a minute he was all but ready to slip the ball into his pocket and keep it. However, with another being around to see him do it, the griffin stopped and shook his head as if unsure of what to do.
"I wonder what it was doing in the cubbies of all things," the red haired griffin let out a light nervous laugh before he began to stare down at it again. Holding it up and then handing it to the woman to let her see, it was then that Lance realized he didn't even know the woman's name. However, he'd forget about this in another matter of seconds as he brought his thoughts back to the sphere.

Tye looked at the object as it shimmered. It was beautiful... and Tye was in awe. "'Pretty' is an understatement... It's gorgeous..." She didn't know if it was the inner dragon making the red thing seem more beautiful... but she absolutely loved it. If her sister were here she'd probably steal it.
"I wonder what it was doing in the cubbies of all things," Tye shrugged as she took it. Her dark amber eyes shined gold as she looked at the object. Her inner dragon was starting to come through as she looked at it. She raised a finger and ran it across the red sphere. "Maybe it fell off of something one of the students had." The woman suggested. She could barely keep herself from staring at it however, she blinked and looked away for a minute. Her eyes returning to their former dark amber, then she handed the sphere back to the man. "Here, this belongs to you. You found it, so you should keep it." Tye was surprised that the sharp eyed vampires hadn't noticed it already. Well, their loss.
Finally, after a few seconds Tye made a split decision to ask the man for his name. It would be much easier to talk to him if she knew it, after all. "Griffin, I hope you don't mind me asking but, what's your name?" She said rather nicely. [/size] |

Taking back the red sphere, Lance eyed it again a bit still wondering how it could have ended up there. It wasn't plastic or something of the sort... he could tell.. or at least he thought so. It's too shiny not to be real he finally decided on. This thought would probably have appeared stupid to anyone else, yet Lance accepted it in his own mind in the sorts. It worked out at least for him, anyways. Instead of slipping the sphere into his pocket, the griffin kept it out and continued staring at it mildly.
Looking up as the dragon asked for his name, Lance suddenly came to the thought about what he had before. "Lancer Talon," he answered back. "I go by Lance most of the time, though. It's easier for humans not not judge me for." He answered back mildly. This was true. For the most part when asked his name, he would simply answer with Lance. However, because she was a dragon, he decided it was fine to simply give out a full name of things. She probably wouldn't doubt or find it odd with such a name being that she knew what he was.
It was not abnormal for someone to ask for another's name and it certainly made things easier to address. This was for sure in Lance's mind. "What's your name?" he asked back as one often returns a question that they were asked back to the person that had asked it. It was mostly out of courtesy, but now there was some extra curiosity feathered within the griffin's voice.
