Crunch crunch crunch
The sound of crunched leaves and sticks, an odd chirp or two, and crisp fresh air with a side of solitude. A day Fuyuki had expected to have before trekking out into the outskirts. On a day such as this, only lazy slackers and neanderthals would waste their time indoors... Oh wait... That was probably half the student body. Still adjusting to the academy life, it was a difficult adjustment being surrounded by so many... Walking germs and possible low IQs. Even in his mornings when first awakening, in quite the early hours. They were just EVERYWHERE. Yes, he was aware he needed to brush up on his socializing skills, and at least give people a fair chance. What better way of keeping people safe from his presence and poor history then by being alone? It was too much effort to be around and "warm up" to any of them. Only Aurtrox had his respect and trust. Kail had gained a decent amount of respect from their encounter in the lounge. Hell, he even promised to at least make an effort to get along with the other faculty for pete sakes!! An a**hole he was, and he had his reasons. The better they stay disinterested, the more quiet for him. This morning in particular was a more personal reason for his actions.

Having that dreaded nightmare... The same one as every night, and the same routine of waking up in a cold sweat. The knife he normally used for cutting into trees gripped in his hand as if his life depended on it! what time was it even? From the clock he noticed it was only 2 am, a record for the earliest to wake up at. Since sleep was no option, Fuyuki had been venturing in the woods the whole entire time after getting ready, his sledgehammer to his back, and wrist-sized crossbow at the ready. He was armed with his bolts ready for, dressed in black leather pants and eyepatch as normal, black boots lined with navy blue at the top. His shirt even matched the pants, though his overcoat was a more dark olive shade, being held together by one of the three chunky belts used to button it. With these kind of clothes it was easy to see his lancer tattoo, which ran from shoulder to wrist, it's stinger stretching around him like an artistic coil. He looked ready to go on a slaughter spree of grimm, but in actuality the faunus was seeking a few herbs. In his small herbal stalk he was out of peppermint leaves, the most important of the bunch as they allowed him some decent peace for slumber. So far among the range of orange and red, there was no such luck.
"Hmph.... Nothing... This puny amount of pine leaves will have to do... A paltry pathetic bundle."
Fuyuki had been walking for hours with no such luck, enjoying himself for the most part. Maneuvering through the woods were always an enjoyable experience, with nobody to bother him, and all the free space he could move. Finding a fallen log at one point, the husky would stop to inspect around for anything of interest.

Before Fuyuki could actually inspect, his ears picked up a sound not to far from him. Was that a woman he had heard? Slinking close against the nearest tree, he would sniff the air, even keeping a hand placed against the ground to feel for footsteps. At first he believed he had been hearing things. The moment his hearing picked up the voice again, the man would begin in stealth, styling slow and low near the ground surveying around. even with one eye covered, he would decently keep his observation skills on high, loading up his crossbow in case of an ambush. This person he was hearing would perhaps be in a group for all he knew, and there was no possible way he would wish to be caught off guard. Sticking to a regular dart, Fuyuki would keep his crossbow arm stretched forward, an eye narrowed to focus. As luck would have it he managed to spot the woman after a few minutes of looking, hoping to keep silent enough to see if she was alone or not.
Better safe than sorry..

What on earth was this woman doing in these woods!? With a parasol no less! Having no clue of the bird accompanying the woman at first, Fuyuki never turned his attention away from the person before him. She was a beautiful woman from what he could see, who shouldn't be walking around in this area with such an item on her person! What was she thinking!? She at least dressed appropriate for the weather somewhat. He would have pondered on this further, but it wasn't until he had caught sight of her basket had he clued in. Ah.... So she was doing the same thing he was. He could only realize that by the smell of the wild mint. Fresh. Perhaps a sort of trap after all!? After the few minutes of observing and waiting, no one else had come around at all. The coast must surely be clear, and he was only being overly cautious... Which wasn't a bad thing.

"Hmph." With a snort of disinterest, the faunus lowered his crossbow, about to continue onto his search. His back turned from her, he would have began to find his own herbs and continue on. When the woman had spoken however, Fuyuki had turned his head back around to see this bird appear out of nowhere straight towards him. What in blazes!? The caw came into his attention span too late, and Fuyuki had to stumbled forward from the raven. What a lunatic! So much for hiding and observing though! the woman caught sight of him finally, and apparently this bird and this woman knew one another! Of all the damn luck.... Cursing under his breath, he was prepared to unsheathe his hammer and try to smack the bird away from him. Stupid thing! Nothing ferocious compared to a nevermore, but just annoying as hell. It left Fuyuki with no choice but to raise an arm around his head to protect himself from it's talons. When he heard her footsteps closed in neat him, that was when he had finally spoken. "If you don't call this raven off it will be netted or bashed against the nearest tree...."

While it was good to have a loyal companion on her side, Fuyuki was a little ticked by the onslaught nonetheless. A second more and he would have fired a sleep bolt at the raven with no hesitation or regret in mind. Foolish, wet sh***ing beast. One flick could even break a bird breast! At least the female was finally there to call the thing away from him before things would go wrong. This could have been prevented had the bird left him alone. Thankfully his hammer-launcher had been used to keep him from falling backwards on his butt.
Taking a good look at her when he was finally able, he was unable to see any faunus features on her. Either they were missing, or she was a human. Hmph. He was leaning towards human by her scent. Receiving a better look to her gaze, she definitely had the lovely features he originally guessed. Those clear blue-grey eyes directing to him showed a bit of wisdom in her eyes. To what extent he was unclear. At first, it would seem they were about to be alright, with a mental note he could try and be courteous. That was until she asked him that question about harm.
"Was she serious!?"

Fuyuki would try to read her a little, but could see the question had no joking intent to it. Did she really think he would harm her? "For your information, if I were to do you harm, I would have done it quite a few minutes ago. WAY back there about.... I would say... five minutes ago? Oh no, I definitely plan to harm, as I am apparently the type to wait till im found and down on the ground like a pile of turd. Your answer would be no miss." Pulling himself to his feet, Fuyuki would remove the debris of fallen leaves form his hair with disdain, noticing their height differences much better by then. "Hmph. I must wonder how many times you have been through these forests." Having said this, it was towards him trying to speculate her abilities in the wilderness. From the scent of herbs from her direction, either this would have been her first time adventure, or she's done this before. This was a forest of grimm afterall, and such choice of wording had a reason. "Have you take sight of any grimm before? OR recently this morning by chance? I will admit... Seeing you wandering around with a parasol... Sounds dainty."

This woman... It had been a long while since he met someone with this much honestly, feeling speaking just what she was thinking. A rare trait among others, especially those who usually cower away like sensitive pricks by one glare. This one was unfazed by the crankiness, her talk of his look firing a light under his butt, both in a good and a bad way. "I could say the same to you toots. You seem like a dazzling woman of looks yourself, but all I have seen so far are mere words of no nonsense and credulous tendencies." Uncaring of his own looks, he was admittedly more baffled then he should have been by such commentary. He could at least be able to change the topic away, preoccupied a moment with removing a twig from his hair. Nature was fantastic, but was it messy sometimes. It was nothing compared to the fact neither have bumped into one another before. She was calling him new to these woods, which was a bit incorrect, considering he normally travelled this particular area once or twice a week around sunset on normal cases. It would have been no surprise they had missed one another. That would even explain the few remains of grimm tracks he had found a month ago or more. "Understandable then. I am more nocturnal then you. I've never been up this early. Not unless there's a venture I am on."

Fuyuki had to admit to himself, the parasol was a bit on the dainty side for his tastes as he had said... and it was nothing compared to his own weapon... But to hear she at least had more then that in her arsenal, that was reassuring in the slightest. It did leave the faunus a larger wonderment what her other weapons were exactly. From his angle of her, he was unable to see the vials. Little had he known she had them in the case she was carrying. That only left more imagination then he cared to have the effort for, and it was something he had no intention on asking and prying about. An image of the woman just using that sun preventing item for a weapon left him practically revolted in disgust. At least for one thing, the grimm haven't been lurking very far in the area.. For now. "That is a fair amount of information. One thing I cannot help but wonder... What brings you out into the forest? Judging from the basket... I'd gather it was herb collecting for some reason."

Hm. She was at least honest with herself. Even more so comfortable as such. A mere test Fuyuki had set upon himself for the most part to adjust try and adjust to her logic. He hated those who apologized for foolishness that was more towards easily fixable solutions should they have used their heads enough. People were stupid though. Some of them couldn't tell the head from the rear. This woman on the other hand carried some mild intelligence after all. Finally. A smart person who knew who they were. If only there were more people like that. Even if he could admit deep down that in this case, he too, was stupid. This made him a little envious. Maybe somewhat jealous? It was a different change from the usual brooding. At least he could focus on her bird. That took his mind off from delving into... God forbid... Feelings. Aside from that reasoning... He couldn't trust that damn flying chicken spawn. With realization he had went silent for a moment to long, Fuyuki only glanced at her for but a second, his eyes slowly closing. God. She must have thought him to be the fool staring blank at her. "...Fair enough. Never change that logic. It will save you in the long run. " Having said all of this, the last words more went under his breath, a faint, husky whisper said while her attention had been on Freya.
It had only been Drac had answered his further statement had his eyes slowly opened, a canine tooth had peeked it's way out the corner of his mouth. His own thoughts had drifted him from his reasonings for being there. The excruciating pain striking his head when trying to think back onto that, only for his thoughts to try and drown him there on the spot. "Snap out of it."

Slowly taking a few, silent breaths, Fuyuki processed his train of thought, only then remembering his reason after staring at her basket. Almost hesitant to tell her, and keep his wall of solitude up, he told himself to suck it the hell up and speak up. She answered his, the least he could do was try and be courteous, and answer her the same. ".. Peppermint leaves. To help with slumber and ease of mind. So far my excavating has been nothing of success but pine needles... As well as the endless bountiful life of trees."
When Fuyuki had heard her amount of herbs and fauna on the list to find, his ice blues eyes gave no signs to the surprise he had suppressed. A clinic? That would explain everything. The scent of herbs fresh off her skin. He had wondered as to why the whole time. Now he knew. "This explains everything. A reasonable conclusion. Have you fared any luck s of yet? Or have I been intruding this whole time on your predicament?"

Dear gods how long had he been silent.... The silence had to have been awkward for Drac right? For Fuyuki it sure as hell had been. He must have been a complete nut ball. Well... He gave no damns how people had thought as it was. This matter of timing... Only a hint of interest about it. At least his companion was patient. Fuyuki could conclude it to be a positive as before. Jeez... How rare someone had two respect points earned.... It was enough for the faunus to be satisfied by her response to change. There were enough fools and liars out there hiding behind their own personas. The human race.... Surprisingly still breathing after all. He could not say the same for his own problems. At least speaking out about his sleep troubles had helped somewhat on a stressful level.

Lavender? A critical error on his behalf. Having used it before to relax, using it on his pillow had never crossed his mind. Score one for the world. The honey he believed he had back in his room, but could not use it of course at the moment. Hmm... A troubling aspect. He found honey to be hard on the gums by its sugar. It was rare he used it in anything. Even back in his tribal days he never had used it. To use it for sleep... It was something he could try and consider for once. "Hm... I will... Give the lavender a try. As for.. The honey... Last resort. Bees are a nuisance when protecting their hive.. Synthetic honey in local shops are barbaric and even more disgusting than the all natural substance." With a cross of his arms, the faunus merely glared at the thought of this, before waving it away as if it was not worth the time. The more concern had been towards his legs, that were numb from standing in one spot for so long. "A walk would be alright. This may give me chance as well to find any other herbs I could try experimenting with in recipe. Though it must be odd to invite a stranger you have no occurrence of name to as a companion..." Fuyuki had indeed taken note of that as well. Without a name to pinpoint her face, this was only a rather brash situation on terms of comfort... Not that he was the most comfortable to be socializing with.

How horrible to have pointed out an error that he himself had been very guilty of. Fuyuki had no qualms about his on disregards on manners, an eyebrow raising in disbelief. From a professional standpoint, giving him good and honest advise.... To the reddened complexion upon her face, he couldn't help but chuckle at bit at. Twas nothing to get embarassed about! It was there a moment, then gone the next. Luckily for her he was not one to tease an embarassed woman over this kind of mistake. Had he introduced himself and her having said nothing, that would have been a different story altogether. Perhaps telling her the future results of her ideas would be beneificial.
After her introducing her name at last to him, the advice had made one hundred percent reasoning. A doctor. What kind of doctor though? Judging by the fact she was searching for herbs, there had to be a sort of herbologist role in her studies. Perhaps leaning towards human, perhaps even faunus. She did not seem to be the type to judge. If so, he wouldn't have been acknowledged. Perhaps killed by psycho bird. "Dracaena Cinnabari Lenz... Somethign to your name seems... Fammiliar... Though I cannot pinpoint the source of it's language. I will say it has a nice ring to it. Suitably tolerable to remember. The right amount of syllables per namesake."
The muttering mode sufficed to him, until Fuyuki could properly progress her name to memory. As for her bird Freya, that was something he would rather roast like a chicken than acknowledge. To that introduction she would only recieve a grunt of displeasure, the bird cleaarly on his crap list. becoming part of it would prove to be difficult to get onto his good side. He of course now had to recite his own name, a bit of a sigh as if reluctant. The temptation to lie was there. From what the man could tell though, the woman had been truthful. He cold smell the professional sincerety. Looking away a moment to think, he finally let his self reasoning kick in, looking at her with bit of a neutral expression. "... Professor Fuyuki Lysander. I teach grimm studies as a teacher of Beacon academy." A hard approach to reply, but he succeeded. That had taken out a bit of his sanity and tolerance in the process. This was not a personal notion to Drac. It was the opposite. The less people who knew him, the better. Personal information could lead to people being nosy enough to explore his life. He of course, wasn't believing her to be that type, but one could never be too careful. The very thought of him guarding himself had brought the itch to his eye under the eyepatch, curling his nose to this annoyance. Giving in to that itchiness would be a utter moment of weakness!
"I... Just hope some healthy pine with no browning while I am at it. Good for pine-willow tea." Hoping to edge away from his own name, he wasn't hiding this little factor well at all.
