Dark had fallen not moments before, when Xaver departed from the woodlands, into the main grounds of the majestic, stately castle grounds. He edged foreword with quick, smooth strides, to the lakeside, shrugging off his black, loose button-up shirt, a hard, well muscled abdomen materializing into view. Kicking off his boots and socks, he ran a hand through his hair, rolled his shoulders, and simply dove in.
The water was almost excruciatingly cold, but refreshing, and he came to the surface, floating upon his back, eyes closed against the burning sun - almost relaxing, this school.
"Well hello Mr. Half Naked in the Lake. I would ask how your days been so far but I think I know the answer already." Lavy said appering by the edge of the lake next to Xaver.
Xaver cracked one eye open to gaze upon the girl whom had spoken to him, raising an eyebrow.
"You do, eh?" he retorted in a low, tired, husky voice.
He disappeared beneath the surface for a moment, then popped back up, emitting a growl of a yawn.
"How's that?"
'Well let's review. We are at Hogwarts, where the most powerful wiches and wizards are trained. I just happen to be a very powerful person." Lavy said sitting down.
"So this reflects to how my day has been. I see. How nice."
Xaver grinned inanely, swimming to the shoreline and resting his elbows upon the muddy bank, muscles rippling as he did so.
"Hogwarts, then..."
Lavy lookde up behind her at the school. "Yep." Lavy looked back down at Xaver. "Well I'm Lavy. And you would be..."
He chuckled quietly.
"Yes, Hogwarts."
In a smooth motion, he pulled himself out of the water to sit, legs dangling.
"Xaver. Pleasure in greeting, I am certain. Hello, Lavy."
Xaver raked a hand through his hair with a rather sore arm, falling to his back, crossing his arms beneath his head, closing his eyes.
"Hello Xaver." Lavy said pulling her hair infront of herself. "You know one day I am going to cut you." Lavy said looking down at her hair. Lavy looked out over the lake and into the sun.
{{Heh, first post mistake - I said burning sun instead of bright moon. lol :P }}
Xaver's eyebrows furrowed as he peeked out of a narrowed eye, curious, before he realized the girl, Lavy, had been talking to her hair. Weird, that conversation would have been.
"Do you normally talk to random things?"
Lavy looked down at Xaver her eyes now a bright blue. "No. but I've been telling myself I'm going to cut me hair. See it's been getting me into some tight spots. People keep grabing it."
"Reasonable. Loose cargo can get anyone into trouble."
He winked, and after another growl-like-yawn, closed both eyes again.
"And I see you are of those who find yourselves just 'randomly' getting into trouble?"
"Randomly? No way. All the time, last time I had a week with nothing happen was two years ago."
Xaver chuckled darkly.
"A joke, milady. I was briefed by Dumbledore of all the students, over the last year. Stopping at his death, of course. Tragic. I know, though not much, of course, {that I will have to be informed of} of a few of the groups of Hogwarts."
"I see well then you know all about me. I get myself into messes and my boyfreind and my freinds. So if you know me you might have a vampier coming after you in the middle of the night." Lavy said darkly glaning at the forest.
Xaver did not move from his lazy position. Rather, he just sighed.
"Again, tragic. But I will attempt to ward them off then, I suppose, Milady."
"Ward whom off?"
(g2g night)
"Those after me. Vampires, or whatnot, as you say. Perhaps just those whom come after me during the night. I might not mind the day. Good nights rest you know, does the body good."
There was a flicker of a grin, then, nothing upon the almost inhuman features.
"Oh, dear their not after you, their after me."
(ok no good noght)
So if you know me you might have a vampier coming after you in the middle of the night." Lavy said darkly glaning at the forest.
(Leading him on, huh? :P Night Lavy. )
(lolz no not really)
"Alright, then," Xaver mumbled.
It was a time before he moved, rock muscles rippling as he sat up, and slid back into the depths of the icy water. He shivered, but sank to the bottom, swimming amongst the seaweed and darker of water things, before reemerging, and again floating lazily upon his back.
"Well then, you know all about me. So tell me about yourself."
"There is nothing to know, really," he replied lightly. "I am now a resident and student of Hogwarts. That is pretty much all."
"Oh, don't play that game with me. Everyone has something to tell."
"Games, Milady. I like to play games. And I am sorry, but you must play along to win the prize. I do not usually just explain my life's purpose to another I have just met. And in one way, might I say, you are not correct. I know little of you - but as I said, I like to play games. To learn more than what the late headmaster has taught me, I must... befriend? Yes, that is the word."
Xaver tipped his head back to let the cold water run over his closed eyelids, yawning a bit.
"Fine." Lavy said shrugging her shoulders. "I'll play along seeing how I have nothing better to do at the moment."
Xaver lifted his head and growled, sticking his tongue out toward the surface, where Lavy was. A funny sight - a Fallen prince sticking his tongue out, teasing. But he'd never been normal.
"Ha ha."
Lavy's eyes turned black. "Do that again and I'll rip it out." her eyes turned back to blue.
A dark smirk jerked his features, as he relaxed back to the waters. The girl amused him. But in an interesting way. He had no intention of delving into his old ways here. This place was nice. The humans actually had sense of humor. And for a fallen one to have to prank others alone for so long a time, jokesters were facinating.
Lavy shook her head. "Sorry about that. I see you've momentalry meet my less freindly side."
"So I have," he returned quietly.
Xaver swam back to the lakeside, hands sinking into the muddy bank as he balanced himself in shallow waters.
"And what would this otherside be about?"
"Killing anyone who makes her mad. So if your brething she dosen't like you"
"Sounds like my father," Xaver mumbled briskly.
He pulled himself out of the water, shook his head, and pushed his hair back and out of his line of vision, muscles knotting and rippling in tense objection as he did so.
Xaver moved to a soft strip of cool grass, and lay, chest down, yawning, his temple against the crook of his elbow.
"Yeah? Funny. If I didn't know better I would say I know him. But yeah, she's not a very plesnate person to meet. Luckly for me I've learnd to control her for the most part.
