(Thanks! Also, another note, Conner's favourite animal is the Cat.
So for obvious reasons he'd prefer Kani as a friend over the others
first)
"Fine, fine, I'm going to class now" Conner says, waving a hand to
try and shoe one of the guards away. He had done something he
wasn't supposed to again, like always, and he was being forced to
go to class. Though he didn't seem to care that everyone knew
either. "I said I was going to class now, no need to push me! And I
need to check which class I have next as well, something I can't do
if you keep knocking my arm" he did his usuall quick glance over
everyone but then he froze. And he turned back to look at Kani. How
come he hadn't noticed her before? Curious, the Assassin moved
closer. And then he realised that he was also taller than her.
"Uhh... Can I poke one of your ears, please?" he asks, nervousness
in his voice despite being older than her. Conner had never seen a
human with cat ears before, so he had never been able to ask the
question before. And also, he didn't know how Kani would react
since she probably wouldn't have been expecting this question
either.
Kani was very startled by this question. She'd never heard anyone
ask her this. Even though it wasn't a direct order, she figured it
would come to it. "Uh... Sure?" she replied.
Conner then grins nervously as he raises a hand, and then he pokes
her left ear. It was a proper cat's ear, it was soft and it was
definitely working like any regular ears do. This was still
confusing to him though... And then he was broken from his thoughts
by the feeling of someone staring at him, and yet he didn't need to
turn to know who it was. "OK, OK, I am going to go to my class, I
can't remember which one I have next though! But does it really
matter?" he calls over, then he glances back to Kani "Hey, uhh...
Which class are you in currently?". It was a simple question,
though Conner knew the wordig could have been better. He probably
should have said "lesson" instead of "class" because they would
mean different things to different people.
"Hey, thanks!" Conner then gives her a smile, and then he turns
around on his heel, leting his cloak swish as he span. "Hey, don't
bug me, I'm not a fan of that. I'm finding out what lesson another
student has currently so I find out exactly which lesson my one is.
Heck, most people are lucky my Bow is in the Archery room, my Gun
is in the Target range, my Dagger is being sharpened and my axe is
also in the Target range. And also, the girl I'm talking to looks
quite new. I don't think she's gonna know what I'm on about"
Rebel whistles and Spirit and Soul land on her shoulders. She gives
a series of clicks, growls, and chirps to them, and they answer
with a nod. They zoom off quickly, and Rebel and Zorra go into the
classroom, taking their seats by each other.
Zorra flicked a black ear and said. "I'm bored..." Rebel shrugged.
"Skip class?" "No. How about we play a quick game of Assassin?"
Rebel nodded and smiled in agreement. They made a dash for the door
and slipped silently down the hall, looking for somebody. They
spotted Loren walking and paused, preparing for action.
Rebel quietly slipped out a knife while Zorra unsheathed car claws
from her fingers. They smiled at each other and whispered. "Fair
game. One... two..."
"Science, OK then" Conner says as he turns around to face Kani
again. He was silent as he thought for a moment before saying "Hey,
I think I have Science next as well. But anyway, are you
actually new, or have I just been missing you for ages?" he then
asks her, small smile on his face now. And then she heard
something. "WAIT!" he calls as he chases after her, and then up
ahead he saw Zorra and Rebel. Without thinking, the assassin sped
up, did a backflip over, and he held out his arms while stood
between them and Loren "Don't. Move" and growls, watching them
carefully.
The Reverend marched over and slammed his cross stick at the ground
separating Zorra, Rebel, and Conner by ten feet.
"Alllll....duellllling...must be....approved...by a....professor."
Rebel took a breath, and her eyes faded back to normal. Zorra
blinks her blind eyes and, in one simple motion, jumps over the
cross stick like a cat, and claws Conner.
The reverend separated them again and grabbed Zorra, Pllllease...no
fighting...I woullllldn't llllllike...to give you....detention...on
the first...day." Looking at Kani oddly he shrugged, "You
are...free to do...as you...pllllllease."
