Why is she touching the wall like that and staring at it. Has she never seen an old cracked rock and brick house? Well when I put it that way-. He stayed quiet though he wanted to snicker. She doesn't look like she's from around here. His head tilted. He looked at the ledge next, he couldn't make it without her hearing. He jumped down onto the ground, rolling right onto his feet. Somewhat gracefully. Behind her.

¤ Her smile vanished like a flame in the wind. ¤ "What was-" ¤ She span around, and stopped, staring at him. ¤ "Oh. Just the lost puppy." ¤ She sighed, annoyed, and turned around again. She walked on down the wall, her arms determinedly at her side. ¤

¤ What part of 'Buzz Off' isn't a completely clear message? She thought, shaking her head. ¤

"Well I just was making sure you knew that you're going the wrong direction." He smiled sarcastically at her, he stood up and eyed her. "I do hope you were aware of such." Ethan tilted his head, re-enforcing himself that he hadn't completely looked like a fool to her, jumping off from 10 feet in the air was pretty cool wasn't it? He always liked to show off to the newcomers. Their reactions always made it worth it.

¤ Spinning around with her arms crossed, she glared at him coldly. Of course he's a show-off. What else is new? ¤ "I- knew that. I wanted to go- for a walk." ¤ She nodded. A perfectly believable story. ¤

He snickered. "Not usually everyone's first instinct to go for a walk somewhere they've never been." He rose an eye. "I sent Zeus for the headmaster, he'd like to know what you're doing here probably." He turned, waving a hand for her to follow.

"Ill follow if you ask nicely." ¤ She glared after him, rooted to the spot. She was most certainly not the kind of person to follow a command, especially from someone she didn't know. ¤

"No." He turned and smiled politely at her. "What makes you think I should? You're the one who tried to strike a nerve first. And I for one don't think you deserve it quite yet."

"Then I guess your headmaster can wait." ¤ She shrugged, turning around again and walking along the wall. She turned a corner into the main part of the school yard. She observed her surroundings for a second, then made a beeline for the stable. ¤

He grinned as she turned, he walked back around the corner and shaded his eyes with his hand, watching her. The headmaster walked out from the stable, looked at Ethan, who pointed at the girl walking toward the stable. The headmaster strode away toward her.
