Bradley chuckled, obviously pleased with himself. He let his eyes go back to their usual state, and his voice went back to his usual slightly rough tone. "Heh. I can't wait to see how what works on a full human." He snorted, a crooked smile on his face. "Ready to go, bucko?" He asked, watching her dump out her school bag.

Marie barely heard him when he spoke again, due to the fact she was so frustrated with herself because she actually didn't mind the whole dazzling her thing, which in turn made her even more frustrated. So, when she snapped back to reality, she was relieved. "Oh, um, yeah, almost. I usually walk to school, because it isn't that far away." She said pulling her bag over her shoulder and going to the front door and opening it.

Bradley nodded, pretty much to himself. He followed in her footsteps, sure to avoid the sparse stranger's looks. He walked in complete silence, taking the hint from her tone that he shouldn't bother much. He didn't want to get into a fight like the day before. Of course, she was the one who knew where to go too.

Marie looked behind her for a second at Bradley. "Um, you know that you don't have to walk behind me, nor do you have to be so quiet." She said teasingly, hoping she hadn't upset him or anything. They were almost there, and he hadn't even said a word, it was kinda worrrying her.

Bradley doubled the size of his paces so he now walked directly to her right. He shrugged, attempting to sort things out in his head. "I thought I had upset you before," he explained, "and I didn't want to make anything worse." His footsteps were silent, but they matched hers to perfection. He dare not look at her, especially not in the eye.

Marie gave a small laugh. "You didn't upset me, I upset myself." She explained simply. They had reached the small campus. "So, you ready for this?" She asked, turning to face him.

"Oh." Bradley said softly, trailing his eyes on the cracked pavement. As they came across the campus, he scanned it with weary eyes. "As ready as I'll ever be." He answered, hesitation pasted in his voice. He was sure to cover his accent, as he spoke, and looked at Marie who stood infront of him.

Marie nodded. "Alright.." She said, noting he seemed hesitant. Randomly she stuck out her tounge at him and made a silly face. "Let's get going then...." She said with a wink before heading to the main office building.

Bradley grinned, shaking his head and rolling his eyes. Well that's one way to lighten to the mood, he thought. As they approached the building, he shot Marie a weary look. "Are you explaining the situation, or is that up to me?" He clarified, stopping right outside.

Marie shrugged. "If you want me to you can, but either way, I don't mind." She turned to see him giving her a weary look. "Sheesh, I can't cheer up the mood for five minutes before you go back to being brooding and cautious..." She teased.

"That's what nine years of solitary confinement will do to you." Bradley explained quite glumly, before leading the way into the building. Making quick work of office people, he soon had worked his way into the office of the people who really had say in things. He had hoped that Marie was following him, though he focused on convincing people to let him do what he wanted.

Marie indeed was following, but she was quite practically beside him. She figured that he was concentrating on what had to be done rather than the fact that she was there, which was okay by her. What she was concerned about was the fact that he was quite negative due to the 'solitary confinement'. Hopefully it was something she could fix. "Ah, the dean's office...." She said when they got to the small, but important room in the small town community college. .

Bradley nodded, smiling a crooked smile. "Ready?" He asked, already psyching himself up for what was going to happen. He grasped the knob and pulled it up, ready to meet fate. If 'small' was used to describe the office, then a vast understatement that was. Or maybe it was the sterile atmosphere inside that seemed to make the walls shrink.
"Come on in, Mister Bradley and Miss Marie." The Dean seethed, motioning at two hard, identically placed chairs across from her desk.

Marie walked in cautiously. Sure, there was no reason to be scared of the mortal, but, just the atmosphere of the room seemed to be grim. Gracefully she sat down in a chair and waited for the whole meeting to begin. She figured Bradley wouldn't want to sit down, due to lack of practice being human-like. Hopefully he could pull it off. .

Bradley eyed the chair, but followed Marie's lead and sat in it. Remember to blink, he reminded himself, looking at the prim and proper dean.
"Now, explain to me, Mister Bradley, what brings you to my office." The Dean demanded, and Bradley began his longwinded tale, making sure to 'smoulder' his eyes and be convincing. After he finished, the dean nodded, and looked at Marie. "And what brings you to my office?" She questioned, trying to figure out why she was around such a strange newcomer.
