 Acheron rubbed the bridge of his nose. He always hated group assignments with a passion. Then again, he tended to hate people with a passion. So, what was one grimm to do? Sigh a lot apparently and wait for the inevitable speech that the caretakers would give about working together and following the rules. Of course, following that would be when the caretakers assigned him to someone. Ugh he hoped whatever poor fool was assigned to him would be tolerable or he swore that he wasn’t going to be responsible for whatever trauma they walked away with… and there would be trauma… maybe… possibly… most likely. Did he mention that he wasn’t a people person? Still he would behave, after all he liked where he was now and he didn't want some well meaning adult to ruin it.

Orphe sighed and listened to the speech the caretakers gave. It was always the same spiel and then they grouped everyone off in pairs. He wondered who he would get stuck with this time. Well stuck maybe was too harsh of a word. After all last time, he met Astarii and while she was very exuberant in her joyful personality, she wasn’t too bad. Actually normally it wasn't too bad and he liked meeting other people but unfortunately there were also a lot of dud pairings as well. Of course when he was assigned his partner finally he had to frowned. Oh, this assignment was going to be interesting. Orphe took a deep breath and walked over. To say there weren't tales of acherons crustiness was a huge understatement. Well Acheron couldn’t be that bad as a partner, right? As much of a bad guy as Acheron tried to portray, they weren’t often in detention. Then again that could just mean that Acheron was crafty enough not to get caught. “Guess I am the one paired up with you.”

As his partner came over Acheron looked them over. Seeing how a person walked was a good indicator of their personality. There was no skip to their walk, no bubbling giddiness either. It was calm, collected and a little unsure. Ah well everyone knew he wasn’t a people grimm after all. The dress was a little weird and they were obviously a hallowed but over all Acheron didn't care that much. Then again Orphe was in a lot of his classes. He would do and if rumors were correct, then maybe Acheron wouldn't tramautize them.
"Guess you are. So let's get this over with. Apparently they want us to walk around the school and find something we don't often pay attention to?" Acheron asked looking the paper over again

"yes that would be the general gist of the assignment," Orphe sighed. This was going to be a long assignment. Then again Acheron hadn't mentioned anything about his mutations or the way he dressed. Orphe had almost expected him too. Still the gruff and off putting nature was true. As they walked aimlessly though the school corridors silence passed between them. Unfortunately it looked like Acheron wasn't going to say anything and not talking to each other would be counterproductive to the assignment.
" you know we will have to talk to each other. Assignment calls for it? You have any idea where you want to start at least?" Orphe spoke up. There gauntlet had been thrown

"If you have to know, I don't exactly know. Truthfully I don't really pay attention to this school. I am only here because I have to be, because having a diploma at the end of this all puts me ahead of all the weaklings that dropped out and couldn't make the cut. So I could actually pick anything I wanted in the school.... like the abandoned looking building over there" Acheron added finally deeming to turn and look at his partner. It wasn't the exact truth. Acheron knew more about the academy then he was letting on. After all it did well to know everything you could about the location you were forced to spend most of your day at, but the litcn in front of him didn't have to know that.

"you know some people have really good reasons for dropping out of school." Orphe stated, mostly just to be devil's advocate. He actually kind of felt sorry for them. With out the academy diploma, or the equivalent of the academy diploma, it was just so much harder in the world. Truthfully everyone kind of thought Acheron would be the type to leave. Something about chafing against authority. However Orphe of all people knew that you shouldn't judge everyone's from first appearances.
"... figures out of all the things on campus you would pick the eerie abandoned building." Orphe stayed shaking his head. However a sort gleam suddenly picked up in his eyes. " should we go in?"

Well that was a surprising twist. Orphe looked like it was the last place ever he wanted to go into but because Acheron had mentioned an interest, the hallowed litch had tried their best to say it would be okay to go in. Or maybe they had even convinced themselves they wanted to go in as well. Acheron stared at him before chuckling. It was a bit surprising really, the Grimm was used to not giving people much choice in the matter or tricking them into doing what he wanted but he hadn't been acting like that at all. Then again Orphe was supposed to be from a crime family or the like.
"Nah not this time. Just noticing it's here is enough and makes for a rather easy report. However I am sure that I'll be back. Curiosity and all that" Acheron finally decided. Maybe he would even drag the interesting litch as well. He'd had to remember Orphe' name

Orphe made a face when Acheron just started laughing. He wasn't entirely sure what he had said was all that hilarious. In fact one thing he was learning was that Acheron routinely made no sense. When ever Orphe had a grasp on him the Grimm through him for a loop. Luckily their partnership was going to only last this one assignment....hopefully.
" well I don't mind going, but if you're sure?" Orphe added, feeling like he almost had to. Of course that was about when Acheron started staring again. It wasn't the normal staring he was used to, it was more contemplative and Orphe almost felt like he would be scared to learn the reason why. Then again, was his dad any different. Fon constantly did weird things. Orphe would figure Acheron out. He would.

Acheron looked away when he noticed that Orphe seemed to becoming uncomfortable. Then again it made sense, most people didn't like being stared at, and Orphe was a hallowed. If he wanted the other to stick around for a while he should attempt to make an effort to be friendly.
So he flickered his eyes away and back towards the building. How did one try to start a friendship? Mmm no that was too strong of a word. How did one continue and acquaintance? There that was better. Acheron would have to think on it.
" well since we have the building, head on back?" Acheron asked nonchalantly.

Orphe let out a little sign of relief when Acheron looked away, although he wasn't pretty certain there was a touch of apology in the gaze. Of course now that Acheron had stopped staring, Orphe really couldn't continue. He was brought back to what Acheron was thinking and did the hallowed litch really care to ask? It was obvious that something was decided and Orphe still had that feeling of he wouldn't like the answer Acheron arrived at.
Biting his lower lip, he shook his head and started walking again. Oh Well it wasn't the worse pairing up he ever had, and while confusing at least Acheron was more tolerable then the rumors.
" yeah, lets go back" he answered.
