Winterspell [Bowen]

"Cold and... food..?" The albino had no idea why Aiden would be wanting cold, but there were enough hints for him to assume that the guy just wanted it. Food, he understood. And he knew where to get some. For the cold.... Paradox can only think of the shades. Away from the sun and away from the crowd. That's cold enough, right? Unless he meant snow or ice, then Paradox might just take him to the walk-in freezer inside the cafeteria kitchen. Although what's the fun in staying there?

"Cafeteria's serving really good food," he then said. But he had to momentarily halt, take out his phone and look at the time, before putting it away again. "...It's crowded there around this time though. We can't stay there, I hate crowds too."

He looked out the window. It was a habit, and a good one in his opinion. He saw the towers from where they were, which gave him an idea. He grinned, snapping his fingers. "The towers are all concrete. The stairs inside are cold, trust me. You might like it there. And, nobody hangs around dark creepy stairs... except me. What do you think?"

If Aiden okays, he was going to lead the way to the cafeteria first. The guy ought to know how things are there, but he was willing to go through the crowd for both of them, and for food. And then, they'd head to the towers.
@"Bowen"

Paradox grinned. "Great! Let's get food first then."

The tower stairways were indeed only cool, not very cold. They were only cold at night, and Paradox-- Alec-- usually roamed around at night.

They reached the cafeteria a few minutes later. On their way, Paradox had made sure they stuck with the shades, and away from crowds. The cafeteria itself was filled with people though. The albino released a groan, seeing these people from the entrance. He turned to Aiden with a shrug.

"I'll go. What do you want? Sandwich? Rice? Noodles?"

After Aiden chooses, Paradox would then attempt to get to a counter to get food for both of them. He'll just ask people to let him pass, just like what he did in the hallway.
@"Bowen"

"Sandwich. Got it." Paradox waved once before fading into the crowd of the cafeteria. For a moment. After a few seconds, one would see how the crowds started making way for him so he can get to the counter quick. It's similar to what he did in the hallway. He returned around ten minutes later, holding two huge three-layered club sandwiches and two bottles of grape soda. "Hope you're okay with these," he said, holding out one of each to Aiden. "Club sandwich. Grape soda."
@"Bowen"

"Sure, stai--" Paradox froze for good two seconds, before snapping out and seemingly forgetting what he was about to say. Confused eyes stared at Aiden before looking around to realize that he was outside the cafeteria. Furrowed brows met above his nose. Slowly his face relaxed, and the confusion eventually faded. Aiden wouldn't know just yet, but the real Alec had just woken up and taken over his body, and Paradox filled him in with the details as quick as possible before retreating into the back of his mind. "...Oh right. Stairwell."

He still looked a little unsure, but he knew Aiden now just as much as Paradox did. He smiled at him gently before printing back to the exit of the building. "Let's go?" he asked. "You know, the towers aren't exactly the coldest place around during daytime. But at night, I swear it's freezing." He gestured for Aiden to follow as he himself began walking. "By the way, why go you want to go to a cold place, Aiden?" Unlike Paradox, Alec's way of speaking was... too gentle. He can't help it. Paradox was still another identity and he cannot be like him.
@"Bowen"

Alec chuckled. "I see. Alright, come this way."

He turned to the right when a path revealed itself. Strangely, that direction moved away from the towers, and not towards them. But Alec hoped Aiden would trust him a little, since he knew some other cold place that Paradox might have forgotten.

The path led to a quiet part of the school. There was almost nothing but trees here, except for the warehouse that greeted them. "Aiden, look," he pointed to the building. "I have no idea why there's a warehouse in the first place. There are all kinds and sizes of packages inside. And. The heat inside is controlled by a thermostat. But it's kept to a very low temperature. Like a fridge. Strange, right?"
