Kein'Vei was up well before the sunrise. His empty dorm was uncomfortable. The doors and windows were closed and Kein'Vei felt like he was caged and there are only a few things he is more afraid of then being trapped. He could wake and be active at anytime, that was simply a trait he had. So he wandered out of his room quietly at quarter to 5. Lucky no one spotted him as he explored the various floors of the Academy. He noticed a few other students wandering around and he figured they must be the older ones in the night class.
For a moment he wasn't looking where he was going and rounded a corner, nearly running into a blond haired girl. He stumbled back and stammered an apology. She seemed the same age as him and that made him uncomfortable. He picked up his pace and set off back downstairs. Not looking back and pulling his arms closer to his sides. Although he couldn't help but notice the doll in the young woman's hand and wonder at it. He thought 'If it was hers he shouldn't be surprised, this is an odd place with odd people. Not that someone that age with a doll is very odd'. It was going 5 when he arrived in the garden.

Kein'Vei looked around, savoring the freedom in the air. A stout, old oak shifted its mass of leaves in the wind. The rustling was like a beckoning to the youth. Who was next to it in a shot. He looked at the branches, struggling to find handholds in the moonlight. Eventually he found a knob that he could cling on to and he bulled himself up into the foliage. He had gotten about halfway up the height, hidden by the leaves, when he found a large branch arching back towards the building. He made himself comfortable upon it and leaned against the hard wood, looking at the brightening sky.

As a yellowish haze flickered on the horizon Kein'Vei heard a nearby door open and looked to see a small girl wandering out into the garden. He frowned in thought, surely she should be in bed, no matter what school she was in? He noted the grey of a coloured hoodie. That brought up another question. Who would wear a hoodie at night, it wasn't particularly cold. Kein'Vei couldn't see the girls face in the shadow and dark of the night. But he watched her as she came and leaned against the tree trunk. The light crept up even more. The dark sky turned blue and the sun's halo was a blood red-orange. It was a spectacular sight.
