Scott said nothing in reply as he tried to visualize what they would do to assess his powers. He had no actual demon form, what people saw right now was what they got. Besides this standard form he had nothing to give. A lot of his abilities were more passive and aura effects than anything else, if you did not count his ability to curl the words of others anyway.

Chuckling at his companion's response, the envy demon kept himself quiet beyond that. He had nothing else to say, after all. He could see the Academy growing in size as they came closer towards it and there was the same giddiness that a child would have during a sugar-rush. In all honesty Scott loved new places. He loved the adventure of wandering around hallways and getting lost with the portraits on the walls as he tried to figure out all the best shortcuts and methods.

Scott looked over to Auden and just grinned.​

When Scott looked over at him, there was a sort of twinkle in his eyes. His smile was so warm and inviting, like some hug. Auden glanced away for a second before giving a smile back. This was nice, soothing. "I'm glad I met you." He jested, giving off a giggle of amusement. "I really hope that you enjoy this island, for other reasons that me just randomly holding your hand." His voice had a tingle of gushing in it, as he was happy to know that Scott didn't repulse him. Auden didn't speak much after that, but gave glances to his hold holding partner on occasion as they inched closer.

It had been a while since Scott had genuine affection. It was actually rather comforting to know that someone holding his hand was not someone he just needed to deal with until his sin corrupted them entirely. Even if it was a little weird that this was someone he just met, the warmth was rather enjoyable.

As he kept in pace, Scott nodded in reply. "Well, so far the island is rather entertaining and aesthetically pleasing so far. Definitely a different from other towns that I have gone to." He answered as they grew closer and closer towards their destination of the Academy. There was a brief thought of 'darn' when he realized they'd have to go their separate ways before he recalled that they likely would see each other again. The school couldn't be that big, could it?

"It's pretty early for someone our age to think about, but you know what you wanna do when you hit college?"

"You can say that again. I've been to some boring ass towns. Middle of nowhere, sometimes just so run down or bleak that it was a pain to stay there for long. Ya know?" He titled his head to the side with quirked a toothy grin. When he realized that their destination was just a few steps away, Auden's demeanour went down significantly. "Oh, for college?" It was a valid question, but one that Auden hadn't been thinking of. "Not sure what major I'd take, if any. I always assumed that, well I wouldn't be here and that I'd-" He stopped himself mid sentence. "I feel like something will come to me, something will just pop into place and be perfect. I still have a long time, really. What about you?"

"Oh I am very aware. I've been around the country a couple times - feel like I've seen all the towns by now." Scott thought aloud about it, shifting his weight. With a glance every few minutes to make sure his stuff had not been taken or gone through while they were walking which had actually happened to him before back in Chicago but hey, mistakes were made.

Nodding as to confirm that, yes, he was talking about college, Scott listened to his companion ramble about it. He was honestly not surprised that Auden had yet to pick something as most people thought about when they just enter high school. Scott only really knew because he had been in so many classes and grades that he tried almost any elective offered to see if they were interesting.

What caught his attention the most, though, was when Auden stopped himself. As if there was something that Auden wanted to say that he couldn't, at least not yet. Almost bouncing his brow as if to subtly say 'not quite but okay', the envy demon made a popping sound with his lips. "Thought about it here and there. I do have a couple ideas of what I'd like to do, but nothing really concrete yet." It was true, Scott had some ideas of what interested him - but he could feel himself leaning towards a particular subject.​

"I'm sure you'll find what's right." With that, Auden stopped in his tracks and took a breath. "And here we are, not that we weren't before but- you can see the campus a lot better now." With a shy chuckle, it almost felt weird when he let go of Scott's hand. "I guess you don't need me anymore? Admissions right there." He pointed to the building. "After all I was just your guide from the dock to the school so." Though he was mostly doing all this out of uncertainty, Auden wanted Scott to ask him to stay. After all, he didn't just choose people because; there was something about this demon that Auden couldn't get enough of.

"I see. The campus is a lot better than it looked earlier." Then again it was blocked by the horizon of sky scrapers and a variety of buildings that only gave him a peek over the very top of the schools outline. The Envy looked over and gave that smirk again, taking in the sight of not only his companion but trying to make sure the path here from the docks was memorized as so he could go through it again.

The male made that twitch of expressions as if he realized something. Quietly patting himself down, and then into his bag. Scott scrawled something across a piece of torn paper. Placing the now folded piece of paper into Auden's hand, his lips pressed against the Raven Mocker's forehead.

"Thanks for your help, doll." Scott grabbed the handle to his rolling luggage again, giving a mock salute as he strode off. "Hope to see you around. One way or another~."

Oh, so this was going to be it, right? They'd maybe see each other in the halls and nod like old friends. That would be it; nothing else. Auden gave a lasting smile to him before he noticed a weird look on the other boy's face. He waited, expecting a goodbye or that he had misplaced his phone. He wasn't expecting a number and a kiss. It took a few seconds before he could even sputter out a signal sound. "T-Thanks." There was a weird uncertainty in his voice as he stood there, holding onto the number like his life depended on it. Man, he was cool.~
