Interactions: Finn [@Aerandir]

[hr]

[color=#37FF8B]”Look at how amazing this is Demi! I had suspected our acceptance letters were magical, but I wasn’t sure how to confirm it.”[/color] Juliet said excitedly as she waved the acceptance letter turned map in her brother’s face, forgetting that he had one of his own in his hands. She’d heard of this academy from Karina, the old woman who taught her the magic she knew, but she never thought that her and Demetrius would actually end up at this school. It was almost like a dream come true for Juliet when they first stepped into the main hall and saw the giant crystal, Athena, along with all the other things to marvel at. Never had she been in a place so fancy looking other than perhaps her father’s home, but there was little she allowed herself to remember about that.

Demetrius’s expression had changed ever so slightly as the acceptance letter had turned into a magical map. [color=A00909]”Huh.”[/color]He said tightly as his eyes scanned it. He began considering possible escape exits, taking it out of little sister’s hand when she had waved it in his face. He wasn’t about to tell her when she was so excited, but like always, he had a feeling this would only be a temporary sanctuary. Soon enough, he was sure they’d have to evacuate. It was hard to tell Juliet not to get too comfortable when she clearly already had. He found himself sighing, relenting a little as they had encountered a talking crystal. It wasn’t like they had ever had the means to stay anywhere this nice before. He decided to hold his negative thoughts just this once to let her enjoy it. 

After speaking with the cheeky crystal, the siblings had gone to the feast and if one were paying attention they might have seen both Juliet and Demetrius’ eyes sparkling in amazement and excitement. They’d definitely ate their fill and then some as they listened to things happening around them and Juliet babbled on about this and that. The only time she really paused in talking was when someone almost got in a fight nearby. Apparently some bully had knocked a girl over and her companion had jumped up to defend her. There was a brawl now set for the next day between the two guys. Demetrius had instinctively switched his seat to make sure he was on the side facing it to protect his side, but he kept his food with a more protective grip, bringing the bowl to his face as he hastily plowed in his mouth, his eyes locked on the battle.

Juliet had to practically drag her brother away from the feast by the end of it, but she got him out of there as she expressed her eagerness to find her room and meet her roommate. [color=#37FF8B]”You know, I attempted to try and find a spell in Grannie Karina’s book that would help me determine if the letters were magical. I didn’t have much luck, though, so I instead tried to formulate a spell to figure it out. It didn’t work out too well, though. I just don’t know enough yet to formulate spells like that.”[/color] She went on, stumbling briefly and almost dropping her spell book she had hugged tightly to her chest with one arm. She thankfully managed to catch it and herself, letting out a small giggle as she did so. [color=#37FF8B]”Ooo! Do you think I’ll learn how to formulate spells here, Demi?!”[/color]

Demetrius managed a small smile, catching Juliet’s arm gently when she had almost fell. Though he had not been nearly as talkative as her, it was really so great to see her this happy. It wasn’t so obvious on his expression how he felt as he had been silently listening to her ramble. [color=A00909]”I am certain if they did not teach you, that you will find a way to learn it anyway.”[/color] He answered as he grabbed a drumstick of chicken from the bowl he had. He had quickly grabbed as much food as possible as they had been leaving. Juliet glanced over at her brother, grinning as he ate the chicken. Too often they'd gone hungry and, while some gave them odd looks when Demetrius had grabbed a bowl of food, she was just happy they didn't have to worry about hunger for once.

He suddenly narrowed his eyes as they were walking to the door as he thought about this whole idea of a room mate. He and Juliet were so used to each other’s company that living with someone else seemed weird and uncomfortable. Demetrius knew he’d get over himself and deal with whatever idiot he was rooming with, but what really got under his skin was not being able to be their for his sister.[color=A00909]” I am going to have to set some rules for whoever your room mate is. “[/color]He told her sternly between aggressive chomps of his food. Juliet's brows furrowed, trying to figure out why he'd need to do such a thing.

[color=#37FF8B]"What kind of ground rules? Do I need to set ground rules for your person too?"[/color] She finally asked, rather innocently as she peered over at the map. They were getting close and she now began looking at the numbers on the doors. Finally they made it and she began to reach out for the door handle, but paused as a wave of fear came over her. [color=#37FF8B]"Demetrius, what if they don't like me? What if I annoy them?"[/color] She spun to look at her brother, fear apparent in her eyes. Her voice lowered as she spoke the next part. [color=#37FF8B]"What if they smell delicious?"[/color]

[color=A00909]”Uh. No you don’t have to.”[/color]Demetrius had answered the first question. As they had reached their destination, he cracked his knuckles.His expression softened, however, in regard to her questions. He was silent before he said finally, [color=A00909]”... Then eat her. I’ll help you hide the body.”[/color] He was mostly kidding. Juliet’s eyes widened as she quickly glanced up and down the hall to make sure no one was close by. Last thing they needed was for someone to overhear them and chase them out of here with pitchforks.

[color=#37FF8B]”Demetrius! Y-you know I don’t like when we have to do that. Besides, something tells me it would be much harder to get away with that here. There’s so much magic around us, I think we’d be caught very quickly.”[/color] She finally whispered once she was sure no one would overhear them. She also wanted to do all they could to stay here for as long as they could. [color=#37FF8B]”I-I will just have to be stronger like you. I can control my urges.”[/color] She finally said as she turned back to the door. While she said it to her brother, it truly was more her trying to convince herself.

She reached out and the door magically unlocked and opened for her. Juliet marveled at it for a moment before taking a step inside. Athena greeted her like she did for everyone else, but she barely noticed as she scanned the huge room. Her eyes were full of wonder as finally her eyes fell on her roommate…her shirtless roommate. [color=#37FF8B]”Oh! Hi!”[/color] She said and let out a surprised giggle, but found herself staring at the handsome person in her room.

Demetrius followed in after her, halting in his tracks when he spotted the shirtless man. He had done so even before Juliet. His eyes widened. [color=A00909]”Juliet… [i]Get behind me.[/i] Don’t look now but there’s an intruder in your room. Don’t make eye co-”[/color]He broke off as he noticed her greeting and staring at him [color=A00909]”Juliet. Stop it.”[/color]He whisper-hissed then looked at Athena the Crystal and angrily stormed up to it. He would take care of the man himself normally, but he knew it would upset Juliet for him to do so. For now, he’d take the peaceful choice. He angrily demanded of the Crystal, [color=A00909]”Who do we have to talk  in order to get this [i]trespasser[/i] out of her room? Where is the female who will be living here as well? “[/color]

[color=FFC0CB]”Well that’s simple, Demetrius Mordred, you just have to walk out of the room as you are the only trespasser here.”[/color] Athena responded.

[color=A00909][i]”Excuse me?”[/i][/color]Demetrius replied incredulously. [color=A00909]”Stupid rock.”[/color] He rolled his eyes and pointed at Finn, angrily demanding [color=A00909]”Hey. Whore. Leave.”[/color] Juliet had either ignored her brother or simply hadn’t heard him as she now walked up to Finn with her hand extended for a handshake. That’s what normal people did, right?

[color=#37FF8B]”I’m Juliet. I guess the crystal kinda already said that though. It’s nice to meet you!”[/color] She said happily to him. 

Demetrius came running up to her side and whispered in her ear, [color=A00909]”What are you doing?”[/color]

[color=#37FF8B]”I’m being friendly and saying hello. You should try it sometime.”[/color] Juliet whispered back to him.

[color=A00909]”Okay but he’s a random half-naked man… Let’s save the friendliness for your room mate instead.”[/color] He pushed her back behind him and glared down Finn.
