"I'm an old College boy, way past my prime." He wiped a nonexistent tear. "But I know where the High School is! I can show you all the cool places, come on."

Stefan landed, for some reason, in front of the stairs and climbed up. He saw the large building that had the pool inside. Huh. He could show her the cool High School places later. He gestured for Coral to follow him, throwing the glass windows of the giant pool open.

"This is the pool building!" he said, his voice echoing in the acoustics of the massive building. There were three whole pools and a netted roof overhead. There were a couple of swimmers practicing, but for the most part, it was empty. Stefan walked around the pool to the sides, grinning at Coral mischievously. "There's a secret hiding spot here. Let me show you."

He walked to the broom closet, playing the part of the inconspicuous passerby too conspicuously, and entered the closet. It was small, barely enough for them to fit. He crouched down and removed a tile from the floor to reveal a secret cache of chocolates. "I don't know why that's there, but it exists apparently. You never have to buy chocolate again."

"Doesn't look it though." Coral commented with a hushed voice. She wasn't even sure if he'd heard it but it wouldn't really have mattered. She followed him without any further argument to a large building. She looked at him with curious eyes when he signaled for her to follow him, wondering why they where there.

This is the pool building! he declared but his words more of less passed Coral's ears like breeze. "This place is... pretty empty," she mused aloud, but her gaze looked a little far off. Her attention focused on the pools which vaguely made her think about life back at the biodome. The rest of his speech somehow muffled with her own thoughts until he walked off. Coral, who had been in thought didn't exactly know why but she followed nonetheless, assuming the tour was still in session. She hesitated to ask because he'd know she wasn't listening.

Coral followed him but as soon as she caught sight of the broom closet, she stopped walking. She didn't exactly have a good memory of broom closets. But the mention of chocolates caught her attention. "Wait... there's a hiding spot... for chocolates in there?" she asked, almost skeptical. She skipped to get close and there it was. A stash of chocolates hidden under a tile. She stood behind Stefan, gazing upon the treasure found in the broom closet. If the broom closets she'd been stuffed in were like these, she would have stayed there forever than go through training.

"But hold on, you mean, you just found these here? Has no one else found it or something?" What was more of a concern for Coral is that this might have been someone else's stash. Second to that was that if these were safe to eat.

Stefan shrugged. "I don't just find things. The wind tells me things and I go where the wind tells me. It told me about this place. I followed it and... Voila!"

He picked up two chocolate bars. He pocketed one for himself and handed one to Coral. After that, he covered the tile up again. No one else must know.

"This... might be someone's stash. Probably. I mean. It gets restocked every week. It's also possible that it's a magic hole in the ground. Given the stuff that happens around her, I'd say that's a real possibility." He stepped out of the broom closet and closed it, heading for the outside again. "But who cares, right? It's free chocolate."

"The wind, huh?" Coral pondered to herself. Could it be possible for that to happen. She could hear the whistle of the wind but she'd never heard anything but that. Then again, who knew what sort of ability Stefan had. Maybe he speaks wind. Despite her doubts, she accepted the chocolate Stefan handed to her and whispered a breathy "thanks".

She thought about what he said. It was too suspicious. "Well... if it gets restocked then... that'll be weird. If someone finds my stash of anything and I find out someone else found it, I would have relocated it. Coral would definitely go for the magic hole theory. No one would be stupid enough to keep using a secret hiding place that's already been discovered right? Unless of course there were traps that protected it but there was no such thing here. This was the school's pool building and it was practically in the open.

"I'm going with the magic hole theory." Coral laughed putting away the chocolate she was given in her pocket. She was really liking how carefree people could be. "Where to next, Stefan?" she asked, following right after him.

"See? Magic holes just make everything better."

Where to? He rubbed his chin. He had more secrets to tell.

"To the High School, Coral!" He started marching out of the pool building, but he made sure Coral followed him first. "Now, since you're in High School, you're gonna wanna take notes of all the places we go to. Some are good hiding places. Some are good stashing places. Some, you can get good drugs, and the others are just... just weird. You'll find out why."

Coral giggled softy, paying attention to each word Stefan said. Ahh, he was so cool. Though the thought of him knowing where drugs were hidden caught her off for just a moment. It wasn't like there was something wrong about it, but if that was like the magic chocolate hole then a magic hole that fills itself with drugs sounds a bit problematic.

Then again, that wouldn't have been her concern. "Um... define"weird"?" she asked Stefan curiously. "I think I've seen enough to get a pretty wide definition for that word so, um... how weird are we talking?"

“How weird?” Stefan hummed while thinking. “Okay, so back in my High School years, there was this pixie chick that lived in one of the lockers. It’s crazy. Her locker looks like a Barbie dollhouse. She usually gives out magic mushrooms if you knock and talk to her nicely, but if you’re rude, she’ll spray glitter dust on your face that’ll knock you out cold.”

He laughed, wiping off an imaginary tear. He still remembered the second part with vivid clarity. He opened her locker thinking it was another person’s and caught her changing. She was so furious she knocked him out, and he woke up a day later late for all his classes. “I’ve been on both ends of the situation. Anyway...”

Stefan looked at the roof of the High School, then back at her wings. “You can fly, right?”

Coral started laughing with Stefan when he told her about the pixie in the locker. "Well, I'd probably do the same if I were in her place really," she said in between chuckles. Really, that was invasion of privacy and she might have done worse than knock people out if that happened. Of course, she wasn't hoping for that to happen.

When Stefan admitted that he'd tried both already, Coral just ended up having a fit of giggles that probably lasted about 5 seconds. "S-Sorry-- I was just trying to picture it and-- H-how long-- how long were you even knocked out?" she tried to say. After then, she took a short gasp of air to calm herself and cleared her throat.

"You can fly, right?"

Coral hummed, "Hmm, yeah." She turned her head to look behind her, twitching her wings twitched a little, just to check if she could try and do some flying. She looked back at Stefan with a sweet, cheery smile, "Where are we going this time?"
