Scavenger allowed Ashley to lead her to the very back of the classroom, which both amused and infuriated Scavenger. Ashley wasn't exactly sociable by anyone's standards, so this was behaviour she should have expected, but at the same time, Scavenger almost found herself wanting to enjoy herself while she was attending college; she wasn't exactly a social butterfly either, but disliked isolation and sought the company of others quite often. Besides, they wouldn't have any fun if they avoided everyone, and Scavenger was not the sort to make a crappy situation worse by taking a negative attitude towards anything and everything around her.
She watched as her companion placed her bag down and sat in her seat, and after a second or two of hesitation, mimicked those actions. She allowed her bag to slip off her shoulder and as she planted herself in her seat, she used her foot the shift the bag under the desk. ”On a scale of 1 to raising hell, how mad will Alex be if I skipped after the second class?” Ashley suddenly piped up, and Scavenger shifted her gaze to the side, giving herself a moment to think about an answer. She found herself gently chewing her own lower lip, before shrugging her shoulders lightly.
"If he found out, we're talking about whole word annihilation," she admitted, now relaxed in her seat with one arm resting on her desk. She tapped absentmindedly against the wood, pausing briefly before speaking up again. "But, truth be told, I don't think he'll really notice... He's infatuated with Erieda," she hissed, as if merely saying the woman's name put a foul taste in her mouth. "Besides, what's the worst that could happen? So he'll miss out on a day of teenage gossip, big deal." She could almost feel a light-hearted smirk slipping across her lips, tugging at the corners, and she shifted her gaze to the front of the class as more and more students began to pile in.
Scavenger shouldn't have been such a bad influence on her subordinate, being the second-in-command meant that she had to take her Remei responsibilities seriously, but... honestly, she thought this was a ridiculous task to assign someone of her stature and skill, even more so Ashley; she was not only a dragon, but a princess. And so, while she knew she probably should have taken a more mature point of view to this issue, she instead found herself wanting to be mischievous. The thought of disobeying her father's orders, with Ashley no less, was as exciting as it was dangerous.
"If you take off, I'm coming with you... You're not about to get on my case about attending classes and then leave me to do this shit on my own. I can cover for us if we do get caught," she continued, before promptly adding, "What did you have in mind, anyway? If you wanna risk getting in trouble, surely you have something in mind?"
