Well, this was akin to finding a needle in a haystack, now wasn't it? Gabrian hadn't really had much of a chance to take a look at the minipet winners of the Scarentine ball until he'd been about ready to leave. As such, he'd missed the student that had won the Wishing Secret he'd donated to the pot; all he knew was that the student's name was West. That aside, all the information he'd gathered had been from asking around. The reactions he'd gotten upon requesting information had ranged from hesitant answers, to mild panic to... blunt answers, actually. Just from that, he'd gather that this 'West' boil was probably a rather unpredictable sort, and while usually he wouldn't have pursued this line of inquiry further, the fact he someone had told him he'd once spotted the boil with a phoenix scareon had made him rethink his defeat. No one that owned a phoenix scareon could be all that bad. Besides, he was sure the Wishing Secret could look after itself well enough without help; despite their looks, they seemed to be mischievous little creatures and didn't give up easily.
"Did you get a clear view of the winner?" the words were spoken softly as Gabrian tilted his head up, causing the small creature that clung to his head to scurry in an attempt to keep perched. A low, frustrated meow of a sound emanated from the creature before it snorted and held onto the demon's horns, "You're not a big help, Belle," despite the fact he couldn't see his pet yawning for all answer, Gabrian still heard it, and as such let out a small sigh as he walked along the school grounds.
So far, all he'd figured out was that the student they were looking for was a wrath demon (hence explaining the unpredictability, probably), wore... pink. Or red; people couldn't seem to agree on that fact, and was could sometimes be seen with a phoenix scareon. Those were not a lot of pointers to go by, really, "Belle," he poked the Wishing secret on his head with one hand, "Open your eyes. Help me look. Or I swear, you're the one that going to look after AND rear up this crystal. I'd love to see how that would put a damper on your flirting," and despite the initial grump, the creature let out, it opened large pink eyes and began to look around as eagerly as his owner.

Luckily for Gabrian, West was not in the mood to be particularly unpredictable this afternoon, which was not to say that he wouldn't be (hence the definition of unpredictability) just that he wasn't purposefully looking to start fights. Less than a week ago, he had been thoroughly pummeled by a fellow student, and unfortunately, as he had discovered recently, his ability to completely ignore pain only lasted for so long after a battle. Normally by the time it wore off he was well on his way back to full health, but this entire broken bone fiasco had proven to be thoroughly irritating so far. Prior to this, the extent of West's experiences breaking bones had been confined to a fractured toe.
One surprising thing the boil had discovered upon coming to Amityville was that he wasn't half bad at academic endeavors if he put his mind to them. He had been advised to lay off strenuous activity, so much of his recovery time so far had been spent doing homework and extra credit assignments, something he generally didn't have time for in between dishing out pummelings. The wrath demon was heading back across campus to the dorms when he passed rather close to a vaguely familiar boil with some variety of stinky animal nestled in his green hair. If West had possessed the ability to train his scareon to do anything other than what she wanted, he would have likely used the pair in front of him as an example of what he never wanted to do with her ever, but he had no such control over the animal. Luckily, Master seemed to want nothing to do with him most of the time.
He noted that in addition to a squirmy pet, the boil had some pretty kickass horns and the sort of facial hair West wished every so often he had the patience to maintain. Fancy. He turned his cut up cheek further away to hopefully keep the other demon from staring and gave Gabrian a slight nod of acknowledgment as he passed. Belle, he predictably ignored.

In all honesty, Gabrian was slowly growing used to 'unpredictability' actually, and while it hadn't been initially welcome, he didn't really mind it all that much anymore. There was something quite interesting about not knowing what the day had in store for you; thrilling even. There was no set schedule anymore, as far as he was concerned, aside the ones the classes had set forth. It was usually the more ahh... physically violent 'unpredictabilities' that Gabrian had trouble tackling. Not out of lack for trying, but rather, out of a lack of actual strength. His species was not quite as physical as some other demons; he was more adept at tricking others or turning the tide of encounters in his favor by using underhanded means. He wasn't a demon that could honestly say he knew how to use his fists (or claws).
These thoughts were, in fact, travelling through his mind as he looked for the Wrath demon, mostly because, well... he was idly wondering if the other boil might consider helping him in that sector. Then again, he knew very little about Wrath demons; were they ahh... too wrathful to actually manage to interact with others for too long? He supposed he'd find out soon enough. If he ever managed to find the guy, at any rate. Given the fact he'd been looking around for a good few hours, Gabrian was slowly becoming frustrated with his lack of progress. He'd been about ready to sigh and give up when he brushed past a random boil whom turned his head and nodded at him in acknowledgement. The nix nodded at the pink haired boil, turning away to continue his search when suddenly... he stopped short mid-step.
He paused, blinked, and then turned around to take in the other boil's full form; large, pink, and definitely demon-ish, which meant that perhaps, "Er... Are you West, perhaps?" he wasn't really used to calling out other students' names randomly but given the circumstances, the nix felt it was called for, this one time, "I believe I have something that belongs to you," he approached the wrath demon, digging into his pocket to produce a pink crystal, holding it out as he he West up and down, "Hmmm..." something told him he was going to have to do a good job at selling it or the other demon was not going to take it, and frankly, one Wishing Secret was enough, "Not entirely sure if you want it, but... they can come in handy," he motioned to the creature on his head, whom suddenly hissed sharply, baring his fangs at the sudden movement, "They are called Wishing secrets for a reason; they can smell out people that keep secrets and despite how.... fluffy they look, they have good sets of fangs and claws. In fact, they're quite good at guarding things. You never expect the fluffy ones to be particularly dangerous, now do you?"
Again he extended his hand, this time offering the crystal to West, wondering if the other boil would take the 'bait' he was offering. Technically, he wasn't really lying; they could be taught. After all, Belle had quite a temper when he things didn't go his way.

The boil almost sighed when Gabrian felt it necessary to address him, but when the nix called him by name, West swallowed his exasperation. It wasn't often that other students voluntarily sought him out, so he quickly came to the conclusion that he probably owed this one a minute of his time just for being brave.
"Hm? Yeah, tha's me," he replied, catching himself and turning to face the pair. Now that he was fully paying attention, West noted that he had actually seen this other demon around the school a couple of times. He even thought they had shared a cauldron while making that weird FEAR candy. And this boil had something for him? Well now West was a little more intrigued. Or at least he was until Gabrian presented an odd spiky crystal and told West not only was it for him, but it was on its way to transforming into some form of fuzzy adorableness.
"Um. Why'sit mine? West muttered. He held out his hand, against his better judgment, fairly certain that he could just pitch the thing in the trash or otherwise abandon it if it became a problem. "Me'an pets... we don' us'ally get along."
