Stains may go away, feelings dont

He nodded and started for the nearest hallway that would lead outside. When she asked about his favorite place outside he thought for a moment before speaking.

"Im fond of forests and caves. Though being alone near the sea or a lake can be nice if its not too cold."

He answered herm voice thoughtful.

He watched her go ahead of him, grinning slightly. He stopped as she poened the door. Eyes shut against the bright light that was suddenly in his face. A hand raised to cover his eyes and the shadows moved formed by his hand.They almost seemed to envelope the white of his eyes in black. It disapeared as he blinked and shook his head.

In this pure light he didnt exactly look sickly. Sure his skin held a small barely noticable tan, but with the darkness behind him he looked like someone who didnt belong where he stood now. Diging into a pocket he found a pair of simple shades and put them on, looking at her from behind the tinted glass.

"Where to first?"

Even his voice seemed to lose strength in the light, like any shadow would. At least until the sun completely destroyed any trace of the shadow in its bright wake.

He raised an eyebrow but did not question her laughter. Her eyes directing him to where it was focused on.

"Spelunking? New word to me..."

He informed her and the smirk took a mischief hint to it. He pointed towards quite farther away, towards mountains. Like you could actually see the caves unless you had REALLY good eyesight.

"If you feel like risking the Head Lady's anger on oneself so earlier. Tsk tsk. If you'd rather wait for another day to go exploring that way I can show you some nice places near the lake, though I doubt it's empty at this time of day. "

He made a gesture with his fingers, brushing one pointer over the top of another. when he anwsered where the caves were.

His laughter was bright as he listened to her and watched her actions. She was different, but seemed full of energy. A thiought went to wondering if someone she reminded him on still held that energy. He doubted it oddly enough and started leading the way to the Mountains.

"Two a pair three a crowd. I doubt you'd get that much detention. Probably a warning and a lacture of taking care to know what kind of people you hang out with."

"Are you ure you want to go to the caves? ve heard their dark, scary and filled with who knows what kind of monsters. You know, the kind who love little girls.."

When he questioned her going voice held the sarcasm meant for those sentances. He looked at her from the corner of his eye and got exactly what he deserved for saying such things. He walked straight into a tree.

As he collided with the tree he kind of just stood there for a minute, as if registering what had just happened.

He didnt glare, he knew he deserved it. He just waited for her laughter to die down before she spoke again.

"I think you need to get your eyes checked for the monster in front of you. The one who LOVES to eat up little girls. Seeing as your new, how could you know of the monster?"

He rushed forwards towards her, intending to pick her up and carry her over his shoulder like a bag of potatos.
