Ashley checked the clock on her phone. Class was starting soon and Scavenger was nowhere in sight. Pocketing her phone, she was thinking of ways to skip class without alarming Alex. There was no way the dragon would be able to handle this on her own. She has had enough of school. And now she was being forced to attend college because Alex deems keeping an eye out on his children is necessary. When she first assigned this job, it took everything she had not to laugh and walk out. If Victoria had not asked Ashley to take orders from her uncle that is exactly what she would have done. In end, as long as she gets to crawl into bed next to Victoria then everything is fine.

She ran her fingers through her hair, heading towards class. She vaguely remembered the class name. Ashley had glossed over any other unnecessary details such as professor, class duration, and materials needed. But she was not really planning on learning or passing. "See? I told you I wouldn't make you do this on your own" The dark skinned girl looked over at Scavenger, whom had finally decided to show up, and playfully rolled her eyes. The day did not seem so bad now that the pink haired gal had arrived. Ashley may not consider her a close friend, but she was better than everyone else.

"Made it in record time, too." ”You were cutting it close.” Ashley informed her. All that really mattered was that she was here. Though that was not stopping Ashley from thinking of a way to get out of here without alarming Alex. "Remind me what this class is called again?" ”English.”

Ashley led Scavenger towards the back of the classroom. She picked the seats that she felt were the most isolated. Sliding into the chair, she placed her bag down next to her. She leaned back into the chair and crossed her arms. ”On a scale of 1 to raising hell, how mad will Alex be if I skipped after the second class?” She asked, Scavenger.

▌ "English," Ashley replied, and Scavenger cocked her head to the side for a moment, before nodding slowly. If she was correct, English was also one of many mortal tongues of this realm, so she could only assume that the class itself held the purpose of teaching others how to improve their language skills. She and many other members of the Remei had similar teachings, mainly with regards to Demon and Fae realms but it was only because English was her father's native tongue that she had taken such initiative with learning it. She understood the importance of speaking many different languages, but thought it was pointless for her to be taking such a class.

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?"

"If he found out, we're talking about whole word annihilation," Ashley nodded in understanding. With his Davenport temper, it made sense that he would get that angry. Now the question is would it be worth skipping, with the risk of death as a form of punishment. "But, truth be told, I don't think he'll really notice... He's infatuated with Erieda," Ashley still could not understand why he was willing to throw away everything for her. "Besides, what's the worst that could happen? So he'll miss out on a day of teenage gossip, big deal." Scavenger did have a point. It was the first day of college. And most likely nothing interesting would happen. Ashley was less concerned with the gossip and more interested in who Erieda’s children interacted with. That was more beneficial than who is throwing a party and when.

Her gaze moved from the pink haired girl to the students strolling into the classroom. Ashley leaned farther back into her chair, her face completely unamused. It was obvious that Ashley was antisocial. It is mostly due to her lack of trust for anyone. Her desire to leave was stronger now that the classroom was filling up. At this point she did not care about getting caught. If need be she would blatantly disregard his orders and let him get upset.

"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.” Ashley looked over at Scavenger as if that was a given. The dark skinned girl did not have any plans to leave the only person she could tolerate here in this god forsaken building. Ashley may want to be alone, but she was not completely heartless. ”What did you have in mind, anyway? If you wanna risk getting in trouble, surely you have something in mind?" Ashley had a really horrible plan and a logical one. Her irrational plan involved burning the entire building to the ground. No building. No school. But that would send a red flag to Alex. He would have the building rebuilt immediately and ship Ashley off to the dragon realm to be dealt with as the elders see fit.

The rational plan involved all of the crap she actually read about some of the classes. Ashley did not pay much attention to details, but she did get a basic idea of a lot of her classes. Like the names and the attendance policy. ”None of our classes check or report attendance. If we miss days then the assignments are online.” She said. But Ashley never planned on turning in an assignment, so there was no need to worry about that. ”So after this class, we can just leave and no one would care.” Ashley finished, checking the clock on her phone. The class hasn’t even started yet and she already feels like she has been here too long. ”Actually we could leave now and no one would noticed or care.” She added with a shrug.

Ashley waited patiently for Scavenger to say or do something. The dragon might want to leave right away, but if Scavenger wanted to stay then they would have to stay. There was some silence between them before the pink haired girl smirked at Ashley while picking up her things. It was time to go. "Y'know, I was actually asking about what you planned to do after skipping the class, but now that you mention it, I suppose there's not much point in sticking around here," Picking up her own things, she started following Scavenger through the bodies of people. Ashley had not thought about what to do after they left. She just did not want to be in the school with all of those people anymore.

They made it to the empty corridors. Everyone must be in the classrooms. This made it so such easier to leave. No one could comment or say anything to them about needed to get to class. "So, you never clarified what manner of mischief you're about to include me in," Ashley did not know either. She was not expecting to be involved in mischief. That would get them caught. She just wanted to get away from other people. Ashley and Scavenger were worth way more than gossip. But it seems like Scavenger wants to something mischievous that would most definitely be a statement of defiance for Alexander.

They continued to head out of the building. If she were by herself she would have called her brother. That’s usually what she does when she can’t think of anything else to do. Looking over at Scavenger, she shrugged. ”I’m leaving it up to decide what we get into. I already got what I wanted.” she said, referring to the fact that they were no longer in the building.

Just then her stomach growled and Ashley placed a hand on it. ”Change of plans. Breakfast.” She happened to know of a nearby place to eat. Pastries and coffee galore. Once they got outside, she made sure Scavenger was following her towards the cafe. ”Hope you like coffee.”

In silence, the two of the them made their way to the cafe. This was one of the few times she has ever eaten in front of Scavenger. The dark haired gal could not remember for the life of her if she ate or not. Ashley knew that Scavenger was a wraith, but she was not completely familiar with what they entails. Scavenger spent most of her life in a different realm. Though they did not have earthly customs, they had to have eaten. If not all the time, a few times. But now Ashley could not remember if food sustained them or some other form of energy. She was soon going to find out.

Ashley picked a table that was much cleaner than the. But for good measure, she took a napkin from the dispenser and wiped the table. She slid into the booth across from the pink haired gal. A nearby waitress dropped off two menus before walking away again. What Ashley liked about this cafe was the minimal conversation. Most of the servers knew that she was not one for small talk and none has ever attempted to force it upon her. When they did, she just responded with a glare.

Picking up the menu, Ashley’s eyes glanced over it. She already knew what she wanted. It’s the same thing she gets every time she eats here. She really only checks the menu to make sure they did not remove her meal. "Um... Ashley,” Ashley looked up from the menu. "I don't know any of these words." The dragon princess made it note to remember that Scavenger is not familiar with earthly foods. She placed the menu down and smirked at Scavenger’s comment about the earth realm. ”It’s okay. I will order for both of us. Just eat whatever looks good on the plate. She assured the wraith.

The waitress came back with her notepad out and a wide smiled plastered on her face. Ashley was not returning the friendliness. ”Ready?” With a nod, Ashley began to order. ”Two orders of the big breakfast platter. Eggs have to be scrambled. And instead of two pancakes make it three.” She took a moment to make sure the waitress wrote all of that down. ”And two orders of coffee.” Ashley handed both menus over to the waitress and watched her walk away. The breakfast platter had everything; eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, and pancakes. It seemed like a lot of food but Ashley was not only feeding herself, she was also feeding a dragon. There had to be something on there that Scavenger would enjoy. The coffee was just a guess.

Her eyes went back to Scavenger. They wandered her for a moment before making eye contact. ”Would you go back to live in your realm if you had the chance?” She going back to the earth realm comment. Though it was funny and sometimes true, she was curious to know if Scavenger would want to go home.

Ashley kept her eyes on the pink haired gal, as she started to think about the dragon’s question. Ash could not imagine living in any other realm. She has been in the mortal realm so long that the dragon realm has become foreign. "Of course I would," There was some silence. Ashley did not push for answers. She wanted a genuine explanation for why she would go back. "I miss the Wraith realm. I understood things there, and nobody thought I was weird or questioned why I am the way I am. Nobody wanted to hunt me and I didn't have to be careful about what I talked about, what I did, the powers I used, I feel restricted here." Ashley could only imagine what it would be like to once have freedom to be yourself and then be forced to hide it away. She has been accustomed to human culture. Ashley can’t even remember the last time she used her dragon form.

"But you grew up in this realm, right? Did you spend any time in the dragon realm?" Ashley leaned back into her chair and dropped her hands into her lap. She had not been expecting this question in return. ”I visited when I was younger. My father and brother thought it would be best that I was raised in the earth realm.” She said, with a small smirk. She never questioned why, she was was just excited to experience a new realm. ”But when I was 9, I was uh..” She broke eye contact and dropped her gaze to her hands. ”I was banned from the realm.” Her parents convinced the realm not to imprison her for what she did to Andrew, but she was no longer allowed in the dragon realm. Her home was the human realm.

There was silence between them. Ashley did not know what else to say about her dragon realm. She knew nothing about it. Not anymore. Everything she knows about it came as second hand information from her brother. Her immediate family had forgiven her, but everyone else was still skeptical. It was even worse since she has sided with Victoria. The waitress walked by to drop off the coffee, forcing the dragoness to look up. The coffee was poured and the pot was left on the table. The waitress walked away again. Ashley took hold of her coffee cup, adding cream and sugar to it. She sipped it slowly before gently placing it back onto the table.

Ashley no longer wanted to talk about the dragon realm. It brought up memories that she often tried to forget. Victoria usually helped her forget them. ”So the cream makes the coffee more milk like. And the sugar sweetens it.” Ashley pushed the cream and sugar towards Scavenger. ”Try it first just to see if you like it bitter.” Ash encouraged, wanting to change the topic.

Ashley waited patiently, a small smirk on her face, for Scavenger to taste the bitter substance. She was subtely trying to encourage to try the coffee. Though she has known Scavenger for a while, she did not know much about her. And though her uncle and cousins were Wraith’s she knew nothing about them. She has never actually seen any of them eat, but at the same time she hasn’t exactly spent time with any of them. So she was unsure if the pink haired girl was even capable of digesting any of the food. The skeptical look on Scavenger’s face, put doubt in Ashley’s mind that food was something she was familiar with. The first sip was taken and it was clear that it was a horrible decision. "Nope, I don't like that," For a moment, Ashley believed that Scavenger was going to attempt to make it taste better, but she made no movements towards the cream and sugar. "Forgive me..." The dragoness arched her eyebrow, confused by the apology. It was not Scavenger’s fault that she could not drink coffee or eat. "I guess the gods were right to make me a Wraith," Ashley’s smirk fell into a small frown. Scavenger was avoiding making eye contact and for the first time in a long time, the dark skinned beauty felt bad for even putting her in a position that she was uncomfortable with. "The heat... It's too much for me." Ashley took a mental note of that.

While the silence lingered between them, Ashley tried to think of something to say to perk Scavenger up. She wasn’t supposed to be upset or moody. She was the jokester who always had a playful smirk on her face. Ashley felt even worse now since she was the cause of Scavenger’s saddness. Hesitantly, Ashley reached out for one of Scavenger’s hands. She knew people did this for comfort and that was what she was trying to accomplish. ”Hey. Don’t beat yourself up for it.” She stated, the smirk returning to her face. ”At least you know what coffee taste like.” Ashley was trying to lighten the mood again. It was becoming too emotional for her. The waitress walked by with the two plates of food, forcing Ashley to pull back her hands.

Even after all of the emotional conversation, Ashley was starving. But she was afraid to eat, in fear Scavenger would feel weird or upset about her ability not to eat. The waitress disappeared once again and Ashley did not make any effort to start eating. ”You don’t have to eat anything.” She took hold of her coffee cup once more. ”It’s enough that you are even sitting in here with me.” She reassured the wraith. The last thing, she wants is for Scavenger to feel obligated to eat the food. If anything, Ashley will just pack it up and eat it for dinner. The fact that Alexander’s star pupil ditched gossip duty to join Ashley for breakfast was more than enough for the dragoness. Eating was not on the list of requirements to hang out with Ash.
