The past year had been rather interesting, to say the least. It wasn't his academic studies or classmates that were keeping his interest....rather it was a particular stranger that he had met by chance at the last Hunter's Jubilee. Avarice had bumped into the fallen on accident and while his initial response was annoyance, he found himself drawn to her. Her reactions....the way she spoke....even her facial expressions had him curious. Something about the way she expressed herself in different situations was grabbing his attention so, being someone who didn't understand emotions as well as most, he decided to study her to determine what it was that had him focused on her out of everyone else.

Not wanting to invade her personal space or make her uncomfortable, he observed from a distance; watching her, following her to a certain degree and taking notes on her responses to the things and people she interacted with. Similar to how a zoologist would study nature at a distance was his approach and it was giving him fairly useful information....but it wasn't enough. He wanted to know the reasons and understand them and he frankly couldn't do it from a distance. Perhaps he would actually have to speak with her...and that was his current endeavor as he wandered places he usually saw her, hoping to run into her as casually as possible so he could speak to her about this. What was he going to actually say, though? This he had to think about.

Maeve was hanging out in the off campus coffee shop frequented most by the Leviathan kids. She was at her usual table hanging out with her friends laughing and joking. She spotted the guy as he came in, he always looked a little out of place, often alone and had a notebook or such with him. She covered her look at the door by tossing her head and laughing at something Diana said and turned back to her friends visibly but her mind was racing with thoughts of the guy. He’d been following her for about a year now, near as she could recall. While that might frighten some she was pretty adept at emotive magics and an empath of sorts herself, and she could tell he meant no harm to her. She could feel the fierce curiosity he’d felt after they’d bumped into one another in the HJ last year and since then he’d been...well….around. Almost like he was a guardian spirit in the flesh. That thought made her smile.

Pulling herself back to the moment she quickly glanced his way again. Something about the way he was moving, or a look on his face made her hesitate. Something was….different today. She quickly threw on a smile for her friends and with a small start realized they were planning to leave. Her heart jumped and acting on instinct she told her friends to go on ahead, she had some studying to do, ever since she’d switched from Asterion Uni to Leviathan it had been both easier and harder to do her school work- so claiming a need to study was a viable option.

She waved them on out ahead and pulling out a book began to read. Something was different, maybe…..maybe this time he’d talk to her?

When he moved into the coffee shop, he had spotted her right away....but Avarice turned to the counter and waited in the short line to order something. His mind was split between considering his order (which likely wouldn't change from what he usually got) and how he would possibly approach the fallen. Normally he could think of something logical or factual in a situation to interject upon but this was....completely out of his element. Social activities were not his strong suite. "Medium dark roast, sweet cream, no sugar, add whipped cream." Yep, his usual order. He was a creature of methodical habit. Consistency kept order, after all.

As he stood off to the side to wait for his drink, he stole a glance or two her way. Her friends had left her and now it seemed she was studying, recognizing the text book she currently held as one of his own. So, she was studying emotive magics now? Did she transfer to this university? Well, it made sense why he saw her presence more often after a certain point. Avarice took his drink and, after a moment of thought, he figured there was at least one subject that was of mutual interest to begin conversation. He walked towards her table and paused shortly before it, motioning with his free hand to her text book. "Intriguing subject you're studying. Any particular interest in emotive magics or is it considered a hobby study?"]/b] His voice was level and calm and his face remained quite placid. Yes, this was an excellent start.

She could barely keep her eyes on the page she’d opened her book to, didn’t notice what book she’d pulled out- she was so intrigued that today he might speak to her. She had barely any time to fantasize about what romantic thing he would tell her, or what special message he’d prepared just for her….. She heard his step draw near after what felt like ages of him ordering his coffee. She could feel him pause and she looked up to him and for the first time in a year their eyes met, she could feel her heart flutter. Then he spoke…..and she stared at him blankly for a blink, two blinks.”Um, Emotive magics?” She echoed back dumbly as she looked down to find that the text book she’d pulled out was indeed one for her Emotives class, however she was holding it upside down. Her face went scarlet but she tried to salvage the situation turning to what he’d said to her. “Oh! Its my Major, I transferred here from Asterion a few months ago. So its not so much of a hobby as a passion”

She closed the book and slipped it back into her bag as he mind cast about for something to say in return…”What about you?” Lamely she asked with a small twist to her mouth of distaste. THis was not going at all how she had anticipated.
