Things hadn't played out quite as Max had expected. Albus was spared his crushing end thanks to the interference of a couple of large cats, Lohi and Tohi, and their quick barrier. He still got some satisfaction out of kicking Grarves' ankle, after the fact, and eliciting a rather satisfying and loud yelp. Which caused Max some minor discomfort in his ears. He started walking away from the scene only to be stopped by the sound of an angry voice calling out to him.

[color=chocolate]"Oi!"[/color] Isobel yelled out as she walked up behind him, [color=chocolate]"Spiky haired overly dressed bastard. Where the hell do you think you're going?"[/color]

Max looked over his shoulder at her but didn't turn around. She along with another boy, Arkadian, were staring daggers at him. Though, Isobel's was by far the more impressive scowl among the two of them. Max knew they wanted a fight but wasn't in the mood to go all out in a crowded lunchroom. It was one thing to fight back against a dragon you 'thought' was attacking you. It was another to beat up two students out for an explanation you didn't want to give. His answer was thus brief and monotone displaying little care for their unspoken threats, [color=f7941d]"To class."[/color] he answered, then began walking away again. Max didn't expect either of them to just let him go. So, as he stepped away they would hear an ominous clicking sound as Max gently tosses something small and round behind him. Isobel would see the grenade roll to her feet as Max started sprinting away. SHe would have little time to react as the grenade exploded, but fortunately for her. The grenade would not explode into fire and shrapnel, but instead, pop like an over-pressurized can and releasing a massive cloud of smoke into the air. In the chaos that ensued Max would burst through the nearest emergency exit and run down several hallways. If he believed the coast was clear he would take some time to catch his breath before walking to Lady Lestrelle's class. [color=f7941d]"Well, this morning was certainly more exciting than usual."[/color] He mused eyes scanning the halls for dark skin and long white hair, [color=f7941d]"If I see her again. which will most likely be around lunchtime. There is no doubt a fight will break out."[/color] Max smiles, "P[color=f7941d]erfect, I'll just summon the changeling before then. It will make for the perfect test."[/color] Max walked with purpose as he made plans for his next encounter with Isobel, a look of sadistic glee upon his face.
