Cambria sighed and scratched her feathered head while staring up at the tree, or more specifically, the cat that was up in the tree. Blasted tree. Blasted cat. And they'd all been getting along so well not ten minutes ago. Well, actually if she was honest, the cat was probably sick of being annoyed and the tree had been ignoring both of them.
As much as she hated to admit it, she missed Alice's cat, Fluffy. Their enmity was sweet. It was a challenge every day and seeing the stray cat on the grounds had reminded her of her earlier child hood. Oh well, now the stray was up the tree and Cambria had better things to do then wait around for it to come back down.
She turned away from the tree and started walking across the grounds back towards the main school buildings. Even walking was more interesting then staring at a tree'd cat.

The cat wasn't the only thing that was in the trees, though the other thing had the ability to fly, which was what Zephyr was doing. He had decided to try out his newer, probably stronger, wings, but the way he was going about it was more or less just some elaborate and hovering form of parkour. Though when a feathery girl walked by, he was hanging upside down from a treebranch while thinking, his eyes closed and his tail wrapped around the treebranch between his legs like a dragon-flavored opossum.

Cambria had eyes trained for picking out sparkly or shiny things from a ridiculous distance away. This didn't mean she had spectacularly better vision, just an intense desire for shiny things. However she didn't need super vision to spot the weirdo hanging like an overgrown vampire bat from one of the trees.
What the hell? This needed to be investigated. She wandered over and stared up at him, he was older then her and he had an awesome gem in the middle of his forehead.
"Hey, Dracula." Cambria called up to him. "Coffin getting boring?"

As Zephyr opened his eyes, he chuckled slightly, a smirk appearing on his lips. Looking the girl over, he decided to not shift how he was positioned on the tree just yet, though he did decide to stretch his wings. "If you can call a dorm that, sure." he stated dryly.
In truth he had gotten bored of sitting in his dorm and reading books all day or looking up things that he had missed in the past couple years, so being out in the open was a nice change of pace and smells. The dorms were so stale and dry, he really needed to ask if he could go out and buy some incense or something.
"Bored as well?" Zephyr asked her as he finally started to move, bending his torso forward and up so he could grab the branch and slide his legs and tail off, soon just hanging from it with his upper arm strength.

Cambria snorted in amusement at his retort about the dorms. "I guess so." She answered about being bored. "My entertainment fled up a tree, but it seems I've found something new and interesting in a different tree. That's life for you. So who are you, Dracula?" She tilted her head and watched how he bent and righted himself. He had gold eyes. It was tempting to steal them, but eyes in jars, ew.

As he landed on still bandaged feet, he turned back around to look at her, though he knelt down because he was far too tall to be anywhere near her eye level and he enjoyed being able to look at someone eye to eye when talking. It was a weird thing, but it made him feel.. safer? "The name is Zephyr, or at least that's what I recall being named.. it might have been something else years ago.. but.."
He paused and looked away for a moment, as if something caught his attetion but it was just a faint fleeting memory of the spot, but he continued to look away. "But it's nothing to remember."

"Uhhh huh." Cambria said skeptically. "Are you doing all that mysterious vampire crap on purpose or are you just naturally some tragic mystery man?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and a sassily cocked hip. And she was more then ok with him coming down to her level, all the better to look at his shiny attributes.

He blinked a couple times as he looked back at her, "Not on purpose... and I'm not a Vampire." He chuckled, wings twitching and adjusting themselves. Zephyr looked her over again, "Though I do have a question for you."
"Has anything major happened here in the past couple of years?" He asked curiously.

Cambria considered the scaly guy. Well obviously he wasn't a vampire, it was daylight. Sadly, not everyone got her humor. "The past couple years, huh. Here I was expecting you to ask my name, or some such thing. And there might have been something a little while ago. But why should I tell you?" She returned with a toss of her feathers.
No one was looking forward to her teen years. For good reason.

"Well if you would like to tell me your name, go ahead, but I might not remember it right away..I seem to have a hard time remembering some things." He chuckled, adjusting himself before standing, moving his hands behind his head and looking down at her.
"Not too fond of giving up information for free, I'm guessing?" Zephyr asked in a manner that made it sound like he had something to give her if she decided to tell him the 'something a little while ago'.

"Cambria." She said. Too bad, and here she thought she was memorable at the very least. She looked up at him and couldn't wait to get through her growth spurt, maybe then she wouldn't get a crick in her neck. "My name is Cambria. And no, I'm not a fan of dishing out stuff for free. So you better tell me what's in it for me." She crossed her arms stubbornly.

Zephyr couldn't help but laugh, "I figured as much, you were eying the gem on my forehead far too much." when he stopped laughing, he grinned and shrugged. "Sadly I don't have anything to give you, I'm broke as a joke and I have nothing to my name and the only thing I came here with was a couple rags." As he spoke he stretched a bit.

Cambria shrugged. She wasn't ashamed of her somewhat mercurial nature. Nor was she worried about being caught staring. "Damn, that is boring." She announced, "No wonder you were out here hanging upside down. Well I guess you're not going to hear anything from then."
Cambria suddenly laugh-cackled in a grating fashion. "Ha, were you like sleeping beauty or something? Like in a coma for so long all your stuff's gone? Do you have head trauma that makes you forget stuff?"

Zephyr kneeled back down and poked her forehead with an index finger, "Close but not quite. Try a virus." He smiled nonchalantly. To him the virus was old news, nothing that really needed to be hidden. "And, well, being kidnapped for a couple years..". He poked her forehead again, "It may seem strange but things like that do happen..as rare as they are.".

With every poke to her forehead Cambria's eyebrows rose towards her featherline. "Do not poke me like I'm some sort of infant." She swatted at his hand, her voice definitely making her irritation with that derpiness known. "And sucks to be you. Don't know why someone would bother kidnapping you with those chompers though. The tooth fairy must loooove you." Cambria still held some grief with that fairy, since the b***h had never given her a dime for any of her own teeth.
