It was fairly quiet outside at this time of night. Most of the students who were in attendance would be in the cafeteria eating "lunch". The noise of the crowd there had been too overwhelming, though, so Delara sat outside with a blood pack in her hand and a book open on her lap. The daeva sat beside her on the bench, looking like a literal stick man, its feet connecting with hers. It was silent for the moment and still. The girl had no idea what it was doing when it was so quiet, as it often was, but she assumed it was doing whatever it was evil demonic entities did when they weren't actively being a nuisance - probably contemplating world domination or something.

Half-listening to her surroundings, running her fingers along the book's pages, sipping at her blood now and then, Delara was feeling mostly content. The book was the one she'd been given by her family or rather a copy of it. There were a few copies - it was an important book. This one was completely in braille.

Delara was reading her mother's addition. It didn't exactly make her sad - she'd never known the woman, but she wondered what it might've been like to be normal, without her duty. Not passed around by people. Although, her current family was definitely a shining point in her life. It made her nostalgic for a life she'd never had.

Pausing in her reading, she began to sing softly, an Armenian lullaby. It was actually one her daeva had taught her, and it joined her in a duet. Singing was the one thing they could both agree was enjoyable, and their voices were surprisingly complementary - nothing outstanding, but simple and pretty. Though the vampire was between obsessions, for now, songs were always a comfort.

Terry happened to be on duty today, wearing one of those silly fucking security uniforms. The least he could say was at least security guards here were less laughable than the normal world.

On his lunch break, which happened to coincide with one of the student lunch breaks, Terry was walking the courtyard when he saw a girl sitting alone with a book and a blood pack, accompanied only by a... stick figure?

Terry was curious enough to approach her and take a seat beside her with his bag. "Shouldn't ye be in the cafeteria with the other kids?"

He tried for serious, but it was less than a second before his stern expression fell into a grin. He laughed. "Nah, I'm feckin' with ye, cuttie. They don't give a feck 'round here."

Having gotten a bit distracted by her own quiet song, Delara had stopped paying attention enough that she didn't notice the man's approach. She did smell him - the cinnamony spell she'd started to associate with fae magic - but there was a lot of magic around this island, and she had no reason to think that he'd sit next to her.

The only warning she'd had before the man started talking to her was that the daeva stopped singing. But as usual, it didn't tell her anything useful and just sat there like a lump. Not for the first time she wished she could trade it in for a seeing-eye dog. Although, if she actually did get a dog the daeva would probably eat it.

"It's too loud in there." She had no idea who this person was, but he didn't sound like one of her teachers, so she felt safe enough to defend herself. Besides - she was pretty sure she could eat anywhere she liked. And it turned out she was right because the guy started laughing at her.

"If they don't care then why are you bugging me, Mr. Probably-Not-a-Student? And I'm not a kid. I'm 16. That's old enough to... to..." For a moment she was at a loss as to what adult thing a 16-year-old was old enough for. "... be a vampire. So there." She wasn't particularly annoyed. She just hadn't liked being caught off guard.

"Not a student, nope," Terry said without missing a beat as he motioned to his work uniform. "That's why 'm wearin' this lil' piece here." He laughed and flashed her a grin. "But ye can't really see that, ah suppose."

"Name's Terry. Security guard on lunch break who decided ta give ye better company." He winked at the shadow next to her. "Maybe while we're at it, ah I can teach ye some better comebacks."
