Jake rushed to the mansion, his mind having automatically thought about the usual time limit. The sight of the clouds rolling into one place, as well as the feeling of the air getting colder, only made him run faster despite his exhaustion and pain. If he didn't want to get punished and caught in the rain, he better get home fast.

He heard the grandfather clock chime down the hall and sighed heavily. He took to tossing the marble up in the air and try catching it on his finger tip. It was nothing but ease. Yup, he was bored without work to keep him busy.

Jake walked into the mansion at the fifth chime, out of breath and with buckling knees. He had managed to escape the rain, but he was just seconds past the time limit. It's not terribly bad, he tried to convince himself. It wasn't bad for someone in his current condition.
After receiving word that he was summoned to Arc's study, the servant made haste to reach his next destination. He did wonder what his current master wanted, though.

Arc put the marble back with the others on his desk display. He heard Jake come in and sipped on his tea. He waited till he had seated and calmed down. Professional was the way to go and he had to act formal about it.

Soon after entering the study, Jake took a seat and waited for Arc to say something. The servant was shaking, expecting a lecture or some wordless gesture that meant he was to be punished. Arc did not look annoyed or upset, but he could just be hiding his true emotions or something.

"One of your distant cousin's came to see me today, he said that your under heavy pressure in school. He thinks that you need to go to a different school, one that is not an elevator school since you havn't expressed concern for college. Its your choice." Arc cast a lazy glance his way.

Jake was taken aback at this, but tried his best not to show it. "But I don't want to go to a different school. Staying at the school I'm at is the only way I can keep in contact with my family nowadays," he said.

"I have come to conclusion that since you have many siblings in the same school, there is pressure bearing down on you about whoes smarter but as I said, its your choice." He knew that Jake had been held back by two years, once in 4th and the second in 7th.
Arc had attended elite school's for the gifted and talented, acadimically smart and a high percentage to make it in life.

"Well, since I have a choice, I'll stay with my siblings," was all Jake said. He did have to admit that he was pressured in that school, but he had decided long ago that he would bear with it as long as his siblings were there. Besides, Lullaby did promise to help him through the courses whenever she could.

Arc turned a stern eye at him. "Then, you will double your study time, ask one of the maids that goes to college as well. She'll help you study. Its your punishment for letting the pressure get to you."
He stood and opened the door of his study to leave. "Since you are still going to an elevator school, its expected of you to go to a college of some sort. It would have been fine if you had went a normal school, no college requirements." He shut the door as the pitter-patter of rain hit the house. The boy really was getting on his last nerves. He might just send him home to his family during vactions and holiday's.

Though Jake was not let off the hook, he breathed a sigh in relief. At least he managed to get away with only a command to study. Perhaps Arc was a little reasonable after all, or maybe he was just in a good mood and did not bother to think of a worse punishment.
Getting up, the servant left the study to see ifhe was needed anywhere. He would go study later.

He shed his cloths and walked outside into the cold as soon as he got to his bed room, locking the door behind him. He did not want to be disturbed though Jake would have to stay in his uniform till he got back. The cold did not bother him, then he focused on shifting.
He spread his massive black wings and leaped off of the balcony, he soared through the stormy clouds, his midnight fur getting wet, the water ran off of him. Arc just needed to chill out, he was dang on bored.

Seeing as there was nothing he needed to do besides study, Jake walked to Arc's room to do some homework. As much as he was glad that he finally found some time to do something productive, he was also concerned. The schoolwork looked like unreadable scribbles to him right now.

(How would you like to become a crew member? I have the power to promote you. But of course, its my job to accept or decline guild join request's.)
After what seemed like several hours, Arc landed with plight on his paws and shook the water from his fur and wings. He nosed the balcony door opened and spotted Jake on the couch with his nose in a book. He forgot something simple as Jake also had a key to get in.
He watched the angel with liquid amber, topaz eyes, regarding him silently from the door.

(Seems interesting. What would my job be?)
Jake had fallen asleep while trying to decipher the contents of his homework. He had nearly understood it when everything had turned black. Perhaps he was not so worried about finishing it right away because the next day was Saturday, so there was no school. Whatever it was, he just fell straight to sleep after some hours of studying.
