Jean had barely parked their car when Eden hoped off of it and rushed to get his belongings at the trunk. All the while Eris remained in her sit with her hands over her lap. [color=9932cc]"What's this blockhead thinking?"[/color] Eris said under her breath when he failed to notice what she was waiting for and made his way to the gate alone.

Jean however was much more perceptive, he looked at Eris' direction through the rear view mirror and said, [b]"Youth these days... they don't know how to treat a young maiden anymore... Mademoiselle, do you want me to help you out of the car?"[/b]

[color=9932cc]"Thank you, Jean , but it seem it won't be necessary. Looks like Eden isn't so stupid after all."[/color] Eris said after she saw Eden come back in the car's direction and open the door, before offering his hand to help her out of it, however his wits continued the same as always as he said, so that only Eris could hear, [color=f7941d]"You would think that you would at least be able to open a car door for yourself. I guess I expected too much from you."[/color]

She shot him back, [color=9932cc]"And one would think that a boy of your age should know how to treat a maiden."[/color] To the students outside it all looked like beautiful scene straight out of a romance manga, but in truth Eden and Eris where having a contest of wits, like they always did when they were kids.

However, Eden clumsiness ruined their whole play, when he accidentally stepped on Eris' shoe lace and dragged them both to the ground. Normally Eris would be strong and fast enough to avoid this, but her attention was focused on outwitting Eden at the time, so she was taken by surprise. Before she knew, Eris' face was buried in Eden's chest and had his arms around her body in a protective position. Had he rolled around to cushion her fall while taking the brunt of the damage? [color=9932cc]"You dumb fox, you know that a fall like this can't hurt me, don't you?"[/color], Eris said indignant.

It was only when Eden rushed back to his feet and offered her a helping hand that Eris realized the situation that they were in. He couldn't... no she shouldn't... damn! She wasn't thinking straight anymore, why was it that this had to happen in front of so may people? Just thinking about it made her heart beat fast and she noticed that her face was getting hot. No, seriously? Was she, Eris Reinhardt, the future leader of Europe's most feared mercenary band... blushing like a dumb highschooler? That is unacceptable... impossible... but...

It was then that a girl's voice that sounded somehow familiar to Eris, came from their side asking [color=fdc68a]"Hey, uh, do you need help?"[/color]. Hearing this made Eris' face turn from slightly flushed to beet red and she slapped Eden's hand away, on instinct, even though she didn't wanted to, then she turned their back to then, crossed her arms bellow her chest and tilted her head scoffing at Eden, [color=9932cc]"I... I'm well, I could have helped myself up you, dumb fox."[/color]

Eris took a few quick breaths to calm herself. What the heck was she thinking having a panic attack right in front of the school gates? To begin with how did she have a panic attack at all? [color=9932cc][i]"There's only one explanation,"[/i][/color] she thought, [color=9932cc][i]"Eden must have planned all of this from the very beginning just to embarrass me."[/i][/color]

When she turned back to them, calm and composed as usual, her expression was as easy to read as a picture book, to people who knew Eris, [color=9932cc][i]"You'll pay me for this you dumb fox!"[/i][/color] was that she was thinking. However, she smiled radiantly as prim and proper as a lady of her standing should be, completely ignoring the previous minute, and said to the girl who tried to help her, [color=9932cc]"I appreciate your concern for a complete stranger, girl. I'm Eris Reinhardt, please let me know your name so that I can thank you properly."[/color] Eris said extending a hand a hand for the girl to shake.

All the time the sound of violins that Eris only noticed now, was framing their scene, it was almost like they were on an anime, when Eris gave a side glance she saw a boy accompanied by an angel playing a slightly glowing instrument, [color=9932cc][i]"A magical instrument? Perhaps studying at this school will be much more interesting than I thought, after all."[/i][/color] Despite her curiosity about the boy, Eris cast a cold glare at the angel besides him, those creatures and Eris simply couldn't get along.
