[i]"Aurellius, The Monster Maniac."[/i]

He was in for more than he had bargained for. Out of all of the other students that had been enrolled at the school, THIS was the one Aurellius had somehow managed to spot as soon as he landed? He cursed yet again as the kid frantically searched around in that scarf of his. Aurellius managed to pick up a few things. Something about a 'crystal thingy' and how Aurellius was terrible for nicknames. Then the kid ran off, hiding behind a tree. As if a tree would be able to stop him for long.

"I'm not 'The Monster Maniac', kid. And its not supposed to be good for nicknames. My name is just Aurellius. Leave it at that, and you won't be beaten into a pulp. Also, you know I can see you, right?" he noted, staring directly at the form barely hid behind the aspen tree. He cursed yet again, hefting the large weight of Ascalon. He rested the lance over his shoulder as he looked around for a few moments, gathering his bearings. You really couldn't see much inside this forest. The canopy and denseness of the trees forced you into a hundred meter radius of sight and sound. 

That wasn't good enough.

Aurellius looked at the kid behind the tree. "You might as well tell me your name before you likely die here. Hell, stick with me long enough and you [i]may[/i] just survive. You're probably not as worthless as you look, I suppose. Just barely. By this much." He held his hands apart by a few inches, winking. "Come on, we've only got five or so hours, and we spent fifteen minutes faffing about." 

He sighed as he started walking, gesturing for the kid to follow him. As he walked, Aurellius was looking for something. He hadn't gotten much of a look around while plummeting from the sky, but he had managed to see the giant castle in the sky. If the sun told anything, he'd know which direction it was in. First they had to find a tree. 

Not just any tree, mind you, one of those huge Oaks, the ones that dominate the area around them. It would be dangerous territory, though, since open areas were prime targets for a Grimm ambush. Still, they had to find it and get a view of the area. Perhaps even find their other partners. Hopefully they would be a little competent. "Listen, Scarfy, I'm gonna call you Scarfy from now on, we gotta find a place to get a view, and from there, head to the giant castle. Any ideas? D'you see anything when you were falling?"

"By the way, you got some, eh.. vomit on your shirt." Aurellius said, wrinkling his nose a bit.
