Sylvain pretended not to hear the last bit when he turned around. He walked towards the table with the other street mages, trying to keep a steady pace and not look like he was running. He sat down and let out a big sigh.
"Well, hey guys. Sorry I'm late."
Blair burst out laughing. "I'm proud of you for keeping your composure that long." He said between snorts after turning off his charm.
"I was… not composed," Sylvain whispered, "I think I'm gonna cry."
(god im so glad he didnt accept oh my god)
Eric glared at Sylvain incredulously. "What. The fuck. Why would you even…? Why…?"
Jasper stared after him for a moment, then huffed and sat back in his chair. "Oh well. He'll come back," he said dismissively.
“Oh, do you need a hug Sylvain?” Aster whispered. She was about to say something else when she heard what the headmaster was saying.
“And now I will release you to settle into your rooms,” he said. “I hope you all have a good term. Be off!” Everyone stood and started walking. The older kids knew where they were going so Aster decided to follow them. They went to a room with papers floating along the walls.
“Your room number will be next to your name! Names are in alphabetical order by last name!” a teacher shouted.
(I need to make the room assignments but I have my phone so give me just a sec)
(moxy the title oh my god)
Blair offered up his arms for a hug. "Do you want me to curse him for you? I have a new one I'd like to try."
Mre glared at Jasper. "And I thought you couldn't be any more of a perve." He remarked, Em giving a small snarl at Jasper. "Why are you even talking to this fucking moron?"
(I can't bring myself to go that far tbh.)
"I dunno man, I got scared but I had to fight back," Sylvain said in his defense, "I hope I didn't get myself into anything. And no, that's alright. But I'll let you know if I need a curse in the future."
Blair stood up and ruffled his hair fondly. "Alrighty then, let's go show them that we're better anyways. I hope they have combat here, I really want to fight them. Plus sparring against Kir is always fun, even when I lose."
“Yeah, that seemed like a little much,” Olive replied, back to being annoyed. ”That was horrible to watch,” Prince sighed. Olive mentally rolled her eyes. ”No one made you watch, Prince,” she retorted.
Cleaver poked his head out of the bag and hissed at Em. Jasper narrowed his eyes at Mre.
"Because I can, fuckass. I don't have anyone to screw around with right now, and this one looked good and seemed pretty weak."
(okay so they got to the rooms while they've been talking?)
Lander practically grabbed Shay’s arm and pulled him out of the auditorium as soon as the headmaster released them. “Well that was a shit show,” he muttered to him.
(No the headmaster was talking that whole time. Now they’re getting their room assignments. I’ll post them in a second)
"Guys, I just wanna learn magic better," Sylvain whined, "Why did I do this?"
Risa glanced at Olive. "Quite the show they put on, eh? I kind of like that one, as far as street rats go, I'll admit."
(yeah yeah i meant after you posted the stuff abt the rooms lmao)
Eric glanced at Sylvain from the corner of his eye, as he wrapped black string around a necklace. "Because your brain erases itself when anyone flirts with you."
Olive shrugged. “He had balls,” she replied. “And it was entertaining, at first, anyway. There was a point where I wished they’d just get it over with already and spare us all the agony.”
Archer shrugged, trying to suppress a laugh once again.
"Becuase you're an idiot," Blair said wisely, grabbing his bag with a nod. He hopped he would room with one of his friends.
Shay allowed himself to be dragged, only because it was Lander. "Honestly. A brilliant start to new term." He rolled his eyes, squinting into the sunlight. "I know I said to play with them, but that was an entirely new level. Play is different than eat."
"That's a fair assessment," Risa replied, "I'm more embarrassed by our own friends, though. I doubt the boy would've pushed back so hard if not prompted. It was quite amusing seeing that glint of fear in his eyes."
Sylvain groaned. "Yeah, yeah. Like I don't even know if he was cute, I blanked out so hard. I need the biggest sleep. Gods forbid they room me with that guy."
"I'm charming one of my necklaces into an protective amulet, in case any of those fuckers tries to have a go at me. I suggest you guys do the same." Eric paused. "Of course, in Sylvie's case, he might just get a different kind of pass made at him, so he might need protection too."
Sylvain screeched, covering his face. "Noooo, I don't want any of that. I was messing with that guy. Hmph, thinks he can get whatever he wants because he's better than us? He should think again."
(if jasper or lander gets roomed with sylvain i'm gonna laugh so hard )
(Sylvain would heavily consider just sleeping in the bathroom at that point tbh)
