The bus hitting a particularly large bump caused the head of the snoozing teenager to lightly smack against the window frame that it was resting on, jolting the boy awake. Angel stirred in his seat, letting out a muffled groan as his eyes fluttered open to reveal brilliant emerald orbs. When did he doze off, and for how long had he been asleep? Turning his attention to the scenery outside, he figured that he had been out for most of the trip, seeing as how they looked to be near their destination. He took notice of the snowy peaks, and just the sight of them made him shiver. He hated the cold, and he was not looking forward to having to step out of the vehicle once it would stop.

Continuing to gaze out the window, he became aware of his mixed feelings about this whole experience. So many things had changed within such a short amount of time back home, and it would seem that he had left much too soon, that he was not ready to be doing what he was. However, he could probably use the change, and it would do him good to get away from it all. Apart from the presumably freezing temperature, the aesthetics of the place made it appear rather cozy. Angel also realized the lack of activity in the area, and appreciated how peaceful it looked to be. Furthermore, it was also refreshing to be around different people, regardless of whether they would become friends, just acquaintances, or even rivals to him. He was not too keen on that last possibility, however.

He then turned his focus to the occupants of the bus, not that there were many. He was glad that it was a small group, though, he wondered about the frequency of the academy's intake. He met the gazes of a couple of other students as he glanced around the bus, but no words were exchanged yet. Well, that was until someone first spoke up in a long time, the voice coming from the back of the vehicle. A boy with a giant book on his lap had called out to the driver, and as he anticipated a response from the latter, Angel caught sight of a piece of equipment in the former's jacket, though, it could be anything else. After slightly raising an eyebrow at it, he looked away and turned back to the front.
