Damien followed behind Juliet, at a slower pace, of course. He stepped through the bushes carefully, as to not tear his suit. He smiled and laughed quietly to himself as he watched her race into her brother's arms. He saw the quick look of worry on her brother's face and stiffened slightly when his gaze fell onto Damien. Damien caught Juliet's comment just as he strode up. The other boy in the group seemed to be coming down off of an anger rush of sorts, and Damien nodded to him courteously, not wanting to rile him up again. Of course, Damien didn't want to rile anyone up.

Damien looked back to Juliet's brother and sat his duffel bag down. Her brother was only a few inches shorter than Damien was, and probably weighed less, but Damien knew he'd put up one hell of a fight if he needed to. Glancing back at the other boy, he made the same judgement. But then again, any of the people at this school, save for a select few, could probably cause a lot of damage should things get violent. Especially with the manner of creatures assembled in this one building.

Damien held out his hand to Juliet's brother. "Hiya. The name's Damien. Damien Raphael Augustine. I'm new to this school, and school in general. Your little sister here agreed to showing me around the campus and help me find my way to the information's room so I can find out where my room is. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance." He flashed a smile, and the whites of his eyes seemed to swirl to black for a second, and then back again to white. Damien seemed not to have noticed. His personality was not like how he was acting currently, and he was silently cringing inside. He always tended to be hostile towards people he just met because of his family life, and always wanted to curl up away from everyone.

But this time was different. Had to be different. He couldn't rebuff anyone right away, or hide from people because he didn't trust them yet. He had to make friends. He had to show everyone that it didn't matter who you were, and that hatreds were just stupid superstitions and foundations for failure. He had already befriended this little girl, who was a human, but he felt the brother may be a bit harder to handle than she was. After all, Damien was a stranger to them both, a demon on top of that, and this was the guy's little sister they were talking about. Adopted sister, but he was sure it didn't matter. Should he harm her in any way, he knew the boy in front of him would try and have his head.
