[PRP] Higher and Higher (Harmony & TG)

[The Semblance of Unity]

The day was pleasantly overcast - or at least that's what Harmony gleaned from the lessened intensity of light and the slight smell of rain on the air. All in all, it was pleasingly moist. She was still unfamiliar with this school and, since her family had not allowed her to take any of the von Bathory retainers with her, found it difficult to get about. It was by trial and error that she hadn't missed most of her classes. It helped, of course, that she had technology at her finger tips - her phone's camera could easily identify what was in front of her if her senses failed her and it also included guided maps.

Guided maps had not found her up here, though. This high perch she had climbed and felt out for her own. It wasn't because she likes high places, necessarily, but because she wanted away from the sticky press of people. She found herself clinging to a rocky ledge near the roof of the Amity School Library, and, although her position looked precarious, she was secure. She sat and she listened and felt.

It wasn't raining. At least not yet, and while even he could sense the horrible sensation of rainfall on the horizon, he had noticed something when he looked up to curse at the sky above.

Throwing his hood up, he popped off his shoes before tying the laces and placing them over one arm. Then, step by step, he started to scale the side of the Library. Being a imp, climbing was just more preferred to flying, even if the weather wasn't the best. True, he had wings, but they weren't made for going any higher than a few steps. The dragons and harpies had him beat on that.

So with claws, he dug into mortar and brick and made it up before reaching the top, looking around before he spotted someone winged from afar.

Wings and a tail didn't tell him up as to what race they were, and so he made the final steps up to the top and walked over, looking around before looking back at her. Yes, a her, so it was at least worth the trip. Maybe with the wind something would flash.

He looked around and then back at her. "I thought the Library got a budget to install some more pleasing artwork, but it turns out it's just you." He said with a smile. "Hello gorgeous."

Something, no, someone smelled smoky and warm. She waited patiently as he moved, tucking her legs up under herself. Harmony wondered what his purpose could be and, as always, feel wary and on edge. The transition to school was not easy.

"Aren't you a flatterer? What are you hoping to get?" It was said with little heat, but she didn't even angle her head towards him. It was a social nicety, nothing more, and it held even less significance to her since she could not see.

"Your company." He quickly responded, moving over to take a perch on the ledge she was using and looking about. Up higher, a wind was picking up, not helped by a coming storm. To keep from being thrown off, he dug his claws into the stonework firmly.

"But why are you all the way up here away from everyone's cursed gazes?"

She sniffed, likely sounding haughty, though her intent was only to sense him better. "To sit up here away from the rabble, of course. The wind is clearer up here, don't you think?" Harmony finally turned towards him out of courtesy.

"And why did you climb here - and don't say my company; you hardly know me."
