Welcome to Gaia! ::

Andrew had heard of the hot springs on his first day but hadn't actually gotten around to going there till now. The first thing he noticed was the caves were actually closer to comfortable compared to the still winter air. Though he could bath any time he'd like, he wanted to investigate all of the area at some point.

But it seemed he wasn't alone today. "Oh hey." he called to the other boil. "Looks like you survived class alright." Andrew striped off the few extra layer he bothered to wear dumping them next to TG's stuff.

"You should have why didn't you?" he grinned at the boil and hopped in the deeper end, not minding the splash. "oh this is deep! score!" he sunk himself into it enjoying the warm embrace.

"My mother told me I should have just killed the thing." he flicked at the lava playing with the bubbles. "Apparently some thing the school is here to teach you to defend yourself too." considering his last encounter with humans it was probably a good idea... but he still didn't want to. "So what's your name?"

"Andrew." The imp was saying they didn't teach anything. He was having trouble believing that to be true. But it might have been, maybe he was better off going back home. He frowned and leaned back letting himself float, tail shifting so just the tip of it was exposed to the surface, a flame just above the lava.

"Honestly I don't really give a Jack about the grades. They are just a piece of paper at the end of the day. Oh well." He might as well make the best of it. Andrew had little intention of actually bothering with the assignment after that class. Then again he never wanted to be near a library again.

"Dumped me? Naw... I had to talk them into letting me come. I got tired of being hovered over, I needed some air. I wasn't expecting to have to fight things so early though..." he paused thinking a moment. "Actually I was expecting to learn a little more about humans you know? I mean.. beyond them being scared of us." he shrugged watching the little imp stretch his wings. Andrew hadn't realized TG had those. That coat must be pretty thick.

"So what about you? Were your parents trying to get rid of you?"

Investment. That sounded familiar. "I take it another fire demon weren't what you had in mind." he said amused. The cultured excused sounded to him like the imp had just been dumped off. Though he was also interested in socializing with more than just other fire types, as long as they weren't dogs.

"Mother mostly does middle man stuff, interchange of goods. We sale what people want." he didn't quiet understand all of it, but it got the bills paid, and she was good at it. "Mum usually helps. What about your parents? Anything interesting?"

Andrew tried to imagine the imp in an office chair, and figured it would be a lot like seeing him in a school chair, with him tiny and barely a presence in a chair meant for a creature twice his size.

"I just dislike having to sit and be polite all the Jacken time. Family dinners, and having guests over all the time is a pain. Plus you have to sit there and nod politely and be used as a conversation tool. Oh how old is your boy? 14 now? I have a daughter around his age, maybe I'll bring her next time. They can be friends." he huffed and splashed at the lava just enough to make a small wave. "I get tired of it after a while. I don't mind striking a deal, I just hate having to be so damn nice all the time. When guests are over even the way I drink my tea is dictated. Jack that." he sighed. "I mean yeah sure always nice to bring yourself to your client's level, to make them comfortable, but still, at the expense of my personal comfort, what a pain."

"Are you saying you'll tattle?" he watched as the imp floated, amused at his tiny body. Midget. He wasn't worried about TG's thinly veiled threat it was not like he said anything his parents didn't already know. They were perfectly aware of his behavior in front of guests and after. He wasn't one to hide his displeasure.

"I'll remember not to invite you to anything fun." he wasn't too worried about word getting back to his parents. If that happened it only meant he would need to be more careful about getting caught, and would suffer through that disproving stare. Considering he had nearly died during a nice normal class, he had the feeling that whatever shenanigans he got into would be well paid for already.
