The school was grand, he wouldn't deny that. It was a pretty place. He supposed with all the people around, his little brother would have been dashing from one place to another to flirt with the girls he saw. The lil' shit. Smirking to himself, he tilted his head a bit before turning around, his eyes taking in the sight of the school, his goggles planted atop his head for now, keeping his hair out of his face, for the most part, that was. He had thought of getting something to eat at first, but decided he hadn't been that hungry to begin with. And this placed looked perfect. Perfect to relax and observe those who passed on by. Not to mention... He pushed himself back, stretching out before finally opening the bag and rummaging through it for a second, a light frown on his face. Until he found what he was looking for. Giving a pleased smile, he pulled out the candy and unwrapped it, putting it in his mouth. Rolling the little ball from one side to his mouth to the other, he finally peered up. And then his eyes caught someone. There was a small itch in the back of his mind, he pushed himself away from the table and quickly moved over to the person whom he had set his eyes on. Giving a light nudge, he showed a bright grin and put up a hand. "Yo! This is gonna sound pretty strange from a stranger you haven't properly been introduced to yet-- Name's Nicholas, by the by. So, now that I'm not a stranger anymore." he spoke rapidly before taking in a breath. "May I make your picture?" |

There had been time before the ceremony, so Jen had taken to taking a stroll around the courtyard. The academy was huge and she knew that knowing her away around would be very important. Her travels were interrupted suddenly by a guy running up to her. "Ah..." Jen gave the guy - Nicholas - an unsure smile, trying to work out what exactly he'd said in the stream of words. "I... sure? Why not?" |

His lips curled up in a big friendly grin as he put up a hand. "Sorry, I went too fast? Basically I wanna make your picture. Instead of taking one." he commented, rummaging through his bag before pulling out his sketchbook. "I tend to sketch out stuff to send back home. So they can see what all I see while I'm here. You just stood out. You're a pretty girl." he commented casually, placing himself down and peering down in his bag. "I swore that I had it there." he muttered to himself, tilting his head a bit before spotting the pencil and picking it out, along with his eraser. "You're always free to say no." he added, peering up at her. "And if you're still a'ight with me making your picture, then feel free to sit down. We can make small talk. How's the school treating you so far?" he questioned, pencil between his fingers and a curious glint in his eyes. |

"Make..." Jen asked thoughtfully, though he quickly explained what he meant. At the compliment she blushed slightly. "O-Oh, well, in that case, you are absolutely free to 'make' my picture," she giggled, liking the phrase. Jen headed over to the nearest place to sit and did so, placing her hands on her lap. "So far? Big. I've mostly just wandered the grounds, and that's just outside. What about you?" |

A relieved look crept on his face for a split second before he snickered softly and gave a light wave in the air with the hand that was holding his pencil. "For that, I am very grateful, mademoiselle~" he commented with a cheeky tone hiding underneath his voice, making himself comfortable and bringing the pencil to the sketchbook. His eyes shot up, taking in her facial features and tilting his head a bit before looking back down, making the first lines on the paper. "Hmm. It is big, yes. I gotta admit to that. Definitely bigger than my own house. Then again. There's a few other things bigger than that." he hummed, peering up again and raising an eyebrow at the question asked. "I've been exploring the place, seeing new faces. A lot of new faces. Not surprised there. Aside from my cousin, I don't know anyone here." he laughed softly. |

Jen wondered exactly what he meant by the comment about his house size. Was he not well off? Of course the academy was larger than his house, it was supposed to hold a whole student body. Or was it the opposite? Was he rich and surprised to see something larger? Either way, she didn't want to assume so kept her mouth shut, simply staying still and smiling for the picture. "Your cousin? It must be nice to have family coming with you," Jen's smile faltered for just a moment."I would've had a cousin coming this year with me too, but... ah, never mind. Do you come from Kalos?" |

"Hmmm... I don't see him very much. Only when they decide to visit. Or with big family meets." stated the male, resting the pencil to his lips for a second before letting it move over the paper once more in a flowing motion, squinting his eyes. "But it's a nice idea, really. To have someone here who I know. It'll be weird to be able to see him every day. Pleasantly surprising." he snickered, lowering the sketchbook for a second to take in her form, only to give a light frown for a second at the look on her face. "Hmhm, I'm from Kalos." he commented, pencil falling to the paper once more. "Your cousin couldn't make it to the place then? Sorry to hear that." he muttered, remaining silent for a while before clearing his throat. "Hey, hey. What did one snow man say to the other?" |

"Something like that..." Talking about her uncle's family had not been a thing her family did. Jen clearly remembered her father's reaction to the few times it had come up, and it wasn't something she wanted to put him through. Her thoughts were interrupted by Nicholas'... was that a joke? Jen's smile slowly slid back into place. "I have no idea. What did the snow man say to the other?" |

"I see." he commented, tilting his head a bit before leaning closer to the sketchbook and peering at what he had drawn so far. A small frown, then a grin and a swipe of the eraser. No sooner had the pencil closed the gap once more, and Nicholas looked back at Jen, raising an eyebrow when she questioned him what the snow man had said to the other. Well, that was one good thing. She didn't immediately moved away. Some tended to do that, not too keen on his jokes. "Do you smell carrots?" he finally replied to the other, a cheeky smile curling around his lips as he glanced back at the sketchbook, turning it a bit to get a correct stroke before looking over at her. |

She did her very best to not crack. She tried so very, very hard. Lips quivered, eyebrows twitched, but when Jen saw the grin on Nichloas' face, she broke her pose, bending forward slightly as she let her laugh come out in full. "Arceus that was horrible! Are you one of those people who do this on purpose?" At least it was nicer to focus on than thinking the impossible, of spending her time at the academy with her dead cousin. |
