The School Yard. ((open))

[Nippy]

Anca'raego grinned. "It's quite alright, Stormelle, quite alright," he said, then trotted after her. "...Where are we headed? Is he outside?"

[Stormelle]

"No, it's after hours to be outside. Every one's in side now. Lucky for me I know were his room is. She smlied and turned runing a little into the shadows of the hall pulling Anca'raego after her. "Hussh someone is comeing."
There was a tap at a door near them.Stormelle bit her lip." I'm going to transform. I've got to be in my room. Stay here and you'll be fine." Stormelle closed her eyes consentrating hard on the form of a cat. With a small pop and silvery cat was next to him and out of sight down the hall they had just left.

[Nippy]

The Aiquen bit his lip and shifted his weight from one side to the other, anxiously awaiting Stormelle's return and wondering who it was knocking on people's door. I hope I don't get into any trouble... he thought.

[Stormelle]

A figuer passed by not saying a word gazing down the hall. She kocked on waht was Stormelle's door. A small yeal came from Stormelle, "I'm canging Master Cas please I'll be in bed as soon as I'm done."
Tehn there was footsteps and sliace. Stormelle figure came around the coner, "Hi, thius way now."

[Nippy]

Anca'raego looked puzzled. "...What was that about?" Then he shook his head. "No matter." And he went to follow her.

[Stormelle]

Stormelle noded, "Latter." She turned another bend and there up ahead were three boys.

[Nippy]

Anca'raego followed Stormelle closely and whispered to her, "Is that them?"

[Stormelle]

Stormelle noded stifly. The smallest boy f them all was frowning as if in deep thought the others were lageing and grining. Then the taller of the two older boys. He had black hair jabbed the yougest, "So, you chosse next."

[Nippy]

Anca'raego frowned as Stormelle and him approached the boys. "Choose what, may I ask?" the Aiquen asked them, looking at them sternly. He raised an eyebrow.

[Stormelle]

Stormelle was hiding sligtly behind him. The two older boys looked up there eyes bright. They scoffed at one another, "What are you the new pet of this place?"
The youger boy was still not paying any attention he looked at Stormelle thgouth and his eys widened then turning he ran into the room on the left side of the hall nerest to him.

[Nippythelazy]

Anca'raego narrowed his eyes. "Choose what?" he repeated, not bothering to look at the young boy who had run into the room. Keep your temper, keep your temper... They don't know what they're saying, the Aiquen thought. Though he couldn't help but feel rather insulted at the thought of being a "pet."

[Stormie]

One of the boys layges at him the other looks in slight cosern twaored the door. Stormelle's eye's flike up to his and they meet. He nods and grabs the other boys sholder turning him so he can't see Stomelle and Anca'raego. "Come on lets go. It's late the arden will be by soon." Wtih that they walk down the hall and into a room.

Stormelle then tappes lightly on the door, "Hello, may I come in?"

[Nippy]

Anca'raego looked slightly puzzled as he followed the boys down the corridor with his eyes. "What was that all about...?" he mumbled aloud, then turned towards where Stormelle was looking, waiting for an answer from the small boy inside.

[Stormelle]

Stormelle looked up at him, "The black haired boy is his brother. He is kind to me jsut prefures not to talk or do anthing with me."

There was a febile reply of, " yes."

[Nippy unlogged]

"That's not quite kind if he refuses to talk to you!" said Anca'raego defensively. However, he quieted himself at the sound of the feeble voice inside the door. Deciding to speak up for himself (so as not to scare this person when he entered with Stormelle) he said, "And may I come in as well?"
