[b][i] "Niorin? Never heard of you,"[/i][/b]

Niorin scratched one of her ears as she heard that, but she also couldn't blame Darius, it wasn't every students job to remember every other student that just happened to waltz by them in the hallways, or attend one of the several classes they shared. For her a reaction like that was expected, but she felt a bit of it came from her probably brash introduction, which she of course didn't even give much of a thought to how she came off to Darius. [b]"Ah...That's too bad I guess."[/b] She uttered as she followed suit after him once he began patrolling the hallways like he was before. [i]"I'm Darius. We've got this wing of the school. Should be pretty simple, and we don't even need to get wet. Which is good; you don't seem like the type to enjoy running around in the rain, eh?"[/i]

[b]"Well you guessed right, I'm not exactly a fan of unexpected rain showers."[/b] 

Walking behind him she took a few meandering looks around the hallways, not that she thought that there was actually something worth having to patrol over, but the sound of the rain was actually making her slightly uneasy, as well as a smell that most definitely wasn't a rain scent. It was perhaps harder for her to articulate what she was sensing to someone whose own sensitivity to the elements probably weren't exactly as accurate as hers, as this scent continued to fill her nostrils, something she would think of as slightly familiar, but at the same time foreign. As she strolled closer to one of the several windows in the hallway, a hissing sound buzzed on her now twitching ears, the muscles of her ears turned instinctively towards that window, as she stopped in her steps, taking a full sniff of the air around them. [b]"Please tell that me you smell that?"[/b] for her the smell was slightly alluring, but at the same time something she could easily ignore for the time being. She wondered if Darius could sense something wrong beyond these hallways, as the patter of rain transformed into distinct sizzling sounds that hit the roof, the windows, and the exterior walls of the Academy, but beyond this the two probably wouldn't have been able to figure out just what it was unless they took a detour from where they currently were.

[b]"I think we should check outside I'm hearing some strange things, I don't know if you do as well, but I figure it's worth a peak."[/b]

Lexion was failing to come up with the words to describe Max, but he probably would have went with dry, stern, the type of fellow you'd find at the back of a bar, musing to himself, Lex had some kind of fanatical delusion as to which he could place Max right under, but the thought whisked away as quickly as the rain was brought back to mind. Now that he thought about it, he could see why they were matched up, but at the same time Max didn't seem wildly enthralled with the idea, and Lex wasn't sure just how he felt either. Max already seemed capable, so there was enough of that to go off on. Once he looked back at the rain outside, he found a certain scent filling his nostrils, it reminded him of the smooth cigarettes his mother would smoke occasionally, and at the same time, it had the essence of a lesser demon. It also made him want to sneeze, but he held in the need as Max posed a question towards him. 

[i] "So...What do you do?"[/i]

Before he could answer he took a step backwards and sneezed, the scent aggravating his senses, but making his own inner demon laugh with delight. [b]"Ugh..that smell...[/b] Lexion went about rubbing under his nose, when he realized that Max sensed the very same thing. [b]"M-me? Well I-[/b] he was cut off by the hissing sounds that suddenly filled the room as a black mass formed right in front of the pair, he pushed back the need to sneeze again as Max prepared himself for a battle, the mass seemed small, and inconsequential, but if it was coming from the rain there was probably no telling just how many of those things were around and how many could form right in front of them. There wasn't any doubt in his mind that they could handle it, but just how many would come looking for the two of them, he also wondered if strange occurrences were happening like this around campus, and just how given that the Academy was relatively safe against hostile demons. He heard Max's next command, and was already reaching for the sword on his back. Swinging it around as soon as Max's foot squashed the small mass of demonic energy under his foot. [i]"At least he's quick."[/i] Lex thought to himself as he walked closer to the balcony with the sword hanging on his shoulder.

 He turned to Max for the moment. [b]"You think we should go down there and see if there are anymore?"[/b] the balcony didn't seem too high to jump off of, and if anything would probably cause a minimal amount of damage if either of them were careless, and as far as Lex could tell they could both handle themselves, but this was their post, so maybe it was best they stay here and keep the miniature demons from gaining entrance into the Academy. He would wait on whatever Max would decide, as the rain seemed to grow swarthy with demonic taint abound.
