Nero wasn't surprised when Lucy tried to threaten him again, but he paid her no heed aside from a glance through narrowed eyes. So far almost every sentence out of her mouth had been a threat or belligerent comment, so he didn't need to listen to know what she was saying. And as he had decided before, he wouldn't hesitate to put her down if she started something. He sighed through his nose before the two girls waving caught his attention.

At their beckoning, he made his way closer to the musician and the tomboy and tilted his head forward slightly with a small, polite smile in greeting. They both seemed to be part of the minority, being so openly accepting of him as a male, but he was glad that they were able to see past that much of him at the least. The musician girl seemed to be absorbed in a conversation with a girl with chilled aura around her, so he decided to speak with the girl in the masculine uniform. The girl in question was accompanied by a young girl with brown hair, but she seemed neither accepting nor sceptical of him, a blank slate if you will.

[color=firebrick]"I appreciate you being so accepting of me. You'd don't have to worry about me leaving the academy, I have a purpose here and it would be difficult to fulfil that if I allowed myself to be chased away by a foolish girl with a hair trigger and something to prove.
Nero Aurea, A please to meet you both. I am a first year student also."[/color]

It was probably a little strange that he was a first year, seeing as he was nearly 18 years old in appearance, but it made a lot of sense considering that he hadn't been seen at the school during any of the previous years. That wasn't to say he hadn't been [i]present[/i], he had simply arrived before Susan Nakamura had taken over as Headmistress and instead used his [Deception] ability to transform himself into various nondescript animals, most notable a raven more often than not. He wasn't sure if any of the student's had ever actually noticed him, but it was of little consequence.
