Alexavier was wandering aimlessly through the woods, plowing up torrents of leaves with each step.
Aah, he loved fall. The academy had many more trees then he'd ever seen in his life, and he'd been meaning to take a walk in the forest for weeks now, but he'd been busy with this and that and hadn't had a chance before now.
He picked up a pale red leaf, and was in the middle of studying it when a sharp pang of emotion filled his head. He couldn't tell what it was, but it wasn't a happy one - he guessed either homesickness or loneliness.
Slightly interested, he followed the trail of the emotion for a few moments, ending at a tiny clearing in the woods where a small red-headed girl was playing. She didn't seem upset... He turned to walk away when she sighed, and another wave of unhappiness pulsed through his head. He looked back over his shoulder, shrugging walking back towards the girl. "Err... Hello." He took off his top hat, offering the girl a flourishing bow. "I'm ever so sorry to intrude, but I was walking by and..." He coughed, placing his hat back on his head. "Felt you."
