Roleplay

Ayala looked up as the new girl from lunch stooped down to help her gather her papers. She smiled warmly and nodded, "Thank you, Maeve...t-that was yo-your name, right?" She spoke in the same hushed tone of a quiet whisper, and gratefully took the gathered papers from her.
She blushed when Beckham held out a hand to help her up. She took his offered hand and pulled herself up, "I-I can carry m-my own books, B-beckham." she said with a little laugh, though she wouldn't stop him if he offered to carry them again. "I-I think we've g-gotten everything..." She looked around only to find that one paper had been missed, and a girl headed straight for it.

Jason again felt that strange twist in his gut as he watched. There, one paper was still on the ground, and a gargoyle child was running straight for it. His body moved before he could even think about moving it himself. People were dodged, as the large teen crossed the hall to swiftly scoop the small girl up into his arms. "Whoa there. That would have been quite a fall. Are you ok?" He smiled widely, hoping that the little girl wouldn't be afraid of his shaggy and giant appearance.
Quiet whispers were heard throughout the hall. Many eyes stared fearfully at the shishi offspring. 'Will he eat her?' 'I bet he did that just to look like a hero.' 'Stupid boys show off anytime they can.' Jason did his best to ignore any comments he heard, and kept the smile on his face. Carefully, he set the girl down on her feet, and stooped to pick up the lone paper. The paper was handed over to Ayala, who took it quietly.

Faye looked up to find several students huddled in groups. All were whispering and pointing toward another group. The one that stood out there was a student that was huge! She'd seen him once or twice before, but he was so large that it intimidated her. In his arms was....Rexa?! Faye strode over to the group just as the large boy put Rexa down. "Rexa! Are you ok?! What happened?"

(Oh, no problem. I got a little busy around that time too, so it worked out.)

Aya blushed with a small smile directed to Beck. It was really nice to have him around. She looked toward the little girl, only to find her in Jason's arms. So, he'd caught her. That had been a quick move, though with his long legs it probably wasn't an issue.

Jason wasn't chuckled a little as he set the girl down. "You're welcome..." His cheeks tinted a light shade of pink as Maeve came over "It really wasn't that hard...just...followin' my instincts." His hand rubbed the back of his neck as he felt the stares of the students around them dissipate.

"Mr. Predator?" Faye was confused, but with a look at Jason, her eyes widened. "Ah!" she pointed at him, her head tilting all the way back to be able to see his face. "You're the one that the teachers ask to babysit! You had to watch my class a few weeks ago!"

Jason gave another chuckle before nodding. "Yeah, that's me." He extended his large hand toward the two smaller girls. "Name's Jason...good to meet you both." He bent down as if bowing to them. Now he could look them in the eye, since they both seemed to have trouble otherwise.

Jason shrugged a bit, when the kids his age were frightened of him, he had done anything to be able to find friends. While the younger kids were still wary of him, they were quick to look past his large form and accept him as a sort of big brother. He laughed at Beck's claim and placed a large clawed hand on the shorter man's head. "Perhaps they just like the larger ones." He turned back to Maeve with a smile. "I believe Feathers here has another concern to take care of. I'll get you to your class." With a smirk toward the other boy, Jason led the way toward the art class.

Ayla giggled as the small child gave Beck yet another nickname. She readjusted her books before answering her guardian cynogriffon. I could never be swept off anyone who wasn't you. She thought, hoping he happened to be listening at the moment. She did want to be escorted to class, even if she could have gotten there herself. It seemed that the ladies weren't ready to let Beckham label himself as taken.

Faye tugged on Rexa's hand. "We need to get to class as well. I think we have the next one together."

(No worries, I've had a few of those myself)

I think it may be the ears. Ayala teased him. She really did enjoy that new aspect of him, but it wasn't the entire reason she had been so captivated by the boy. He had stated that he was her guardian, that had been enough for her to wish to be loyal to him as well. She smiled as their arms were linked together. It felt so nice to be close to him like this. Her grin never left as they walked to their next class.

"Oh, yes. The schools large enough for there to be six different 'houses'. Each house is divided into two groups, one for the boys and the other for the girls. It's just a way for them to categorize us, and put us with people who have close to the same interests and hobbies. Each year we have a ceremony to decide what house you'll be in. Pulchitudo is the house for most of the water type creatures...some of them can be a bit snobby though." He explained the divisions as best as he could given the time. He stopped outside the door to her class and smiled. "If you have more questions about it...I can answer those after school sometime."

Faye practically dragged the young gargoyle into their next class. Thank goodness this was the last one of the day. Ah, that would be so nice to finally have some free time, and get to spend the ten bucks she had won.
