A Newcomer's love for the courtyard

[taintedstar]

[After waking up in the Clinic and reading the whiteboard there, Libero decides to check out his surroundings. This college isn't devoid of life, that's for sure. He can sense a lot of people around, though he's not sure if that's a good sign or a bad sign.

He'll pause at the courtyard doors and open them. This looks deceptively pretty, though he can definitely see himself hanging around here often, and being that he has a funny feeling that he's not going to get out of this place anytime soon, he probably has no choice but to do that. It may be the only place to which he can escape to if the others here bother him too much.

He'll look at the fountain further down the path. Libero rather likes the fountain, if he forgets about the cherub. It's not that it bothers him, he just knows he'll be chuckling at it every time he sees it.

He looks at one of the nearby benches. He wants to explore more but it'd be also nice to soak in the environment of the courtyard. Taking a few moments to think about it, he sits down on the bench, and this is where you will find him. Outside. In the courtyard. Not being an explorer.]

[Libero isn't the only one who takes solace in the courtyard. With the frustration and regret Karasu's already having about half the things she's done in the past week or so, it's nice to be able to walk out here and unwind.

She's honestly tempted to just go for a flight, but a part of her doesn't want to make the Campus feel as small as it does when she can fly.

So for now, she just sighs and lays down on the rim of the fountain, ignoring the dirt and water getting all in her hair at the moment. She can wash it later.

...of course, that's when she finally seems to notice she's not alone.]

Oh, hello.

[It's not often that Ryou goes to the courtyard apart from to train. With Jack gone, he's only going there with Henry now. But even he has his limits of how much indoors he can handle. Even with the restrained life he'd led before, he can't claim to have ever spent so much time inside. At home, he would have been walking to school, going out to buy food, sometimes even going to the arcade...

Comparatively, he left the building rarely here. The black-haired stranger is easy to spot in the courtyard, but he doesn't think anything of it. It's not someone he knows, but it's not someone who looks frightening, either. They seem calm, even.

At the presence, something stirs within him and the spirit's awareness heightens, listening. There's no need for him to come out unless he's needed - or finds a reason to interject. But even so, he'd rather curl up there and listen warily than sleep and wake up to find himself minus a host.

Ryou gives the stranger a polite incline of his head.]

Uhm... are you alright? It's kind of cold out here.
