[INDENT][INDENT]Nodding as Whitney directed the question about travelling towards Campus together, Aiden followed up the gesture with a verabl response.

[color=steelblue][b]"Yeah, we were intending to wait for you under the assumption you'd be heading there."[/b][/color] He stated with a smile as Chester too nodded his approval.

[color=indianred][b]"Indeed."[/b][/color]

Walking with Whitney, the three made their way to the quickest method of travel that Santa Celia had to offer. Small stations were littered around the city, leading to the suspended rail that held the city's monorail above the roads as it made its way through the various passageways of the city, leading to every major destination. The monorail, or Santa's Sleigh as it had been dubbed, was the vein which delivered the blue collared blood of the city's to the vital organs. Workers of every trade relied upon the Sleigh to ensure they arrived at work on time and were delivered home safely to their families at the end of the day. As part of their tuition, students at Voltaire University were provided year long passes to the train in order to freely traverse the city without the need for relying on the city's aging bus service or their own rides.

Not that Aiden had any plan of using the train more than necessary. His scholarship had provided him with the Camaro currently parked back outside of their dormitories. Not that it did them any good in this moment, nor would it be the best choice of transportation for Chester on any given day. But perhaps Whitney would appreciate seeing it at some point, if she was the type of girl to be impressed by such things. Doubt crossed Aiden's mind as he realized it was unlikely that Whitney was superficial enough to be impressed by a car, the girl clearly had a head on her shoulders and no doubt was interested by more than just a new paint job and shiny rims.

[color=steelblue][i]What about a rim job though?[/i][/color]

Aiden inwardly groaned at his own bad joke as the hiss of the train doors caught his attention. Helping Chester into his seat, Aiden grabbed a nearby pole, his hand feeling drawn to the metal as he took a tight white knuckled grip around it. Never a fan of heights, Aiden wasn't happy about now being suspended several stories above the ground below. Due to the lay of the land, the inner city's rail was suspended much higher than the outreaches of the city where Santa Celia's valley rose into rocky cliffs akin to those the university was built upon.

[color=indianred][b]"First time on a train?"[/b][/color] Chester's voice broke Aiden's attention as he turned to see Chester staring towards the white knuckles on his fist.

[color=steelblue][b]"Something like that..."[/b][/color] Aiden answered, his voice trailing off as he gazed out the window.

[color=indianred][b]"You get used to it, I used it a lot last year when I first started at Voltaire."[/b][/color] Chester continued.

[color=steelblue][b]"You're not a freshman?"[/b][/color] Aiden asked, his surprise distracting him from the height outside.

[color=indianred][b]"No, I'm a sophomore."[/b][/color] Replied Chester. [color=indianred][b]"I'm studying robotics and mechanical engineering. Hoping to maybe even devise a way to walk again. Maybe even kick the ass of those who did this to me."[/b][/color] A half smile crossed his face leaving Aiden confused as to how serious Chester was about his statement. There was something unnerving in his eyes as he made a vague reference to the accident that left him a paraplegic.

[color=indianred][b]"How about you two?"[/b][/color] Chester continued as he directed the question towards Aiden and Whitney. [color=indianred][b]"What are you studying?"[/b][/color]

[color=steelblue][b]"Not really sure, here on a football scholarship. Probably do general studies and see if anything sticks."[/b][/color] Aiden answered with a shrug. [color=steelblue][b]"What about you Whitney?"[/b][/color][/INDENT][/INDENT]
