It had been a few hours after the group of students dispersed from their rather sudden meet and greet, and the tall demon had decided that he needed his own meet and greet with someone he hadn't seen in a short while. It wasn't that they weren't able to see each other, his bro was just a busy guy.
Adjusting his cap, he wandered toward the reaper's dorm, he gave the door a quick knock on the door, waiting on the slightly shorter man to answer.
"Hey bro, you in?"

The dorm room was, surprisingly enough, already set up when Sparrow arrived in it later on that afternoon. He glanced around at the neatly made bed, the tidy shelves with the clothes folded neatly atop them and hung carefully in the closet. A bird with gorgeous blue and green plumage stood on a stand near the head of the bed, and Sparrow made his way towards it peering at it with a bright sort of curiosity.
"Greetings, friend," he said, stroking a finger down its soft feathers, and the bird made a chirruping noise, nipping affectionately at his hand. Sparrow drew back, pleased, and glanced around the room again.
"Well," he said to himself, his hands on his hips. "Looks as though whoever put all my things here for me did quite a good job. Look, they even know how I like my books stacked," he added excitedly, catching sight of the orderly texts placed on the corner of the desk. He turned back to the bird and said, "This is quite a lovely welcome, I must say."
There was a knock on the door and Sparrow twisted around, his eyebrows raised. Curious as to who could be visiting him already, he returned to the door of his room and pulled it open.
An unfamiliar boil was standing there, dark haired and slightly taller than himself. He looked quite nice, however, and Sparrow smiled at him.
"Hello!" he said brightly. "Won't you come in?"

Cue Jack tilting his head.
It wasn't something physically obvious that his friend was different, but Jack could almost felt it. An eerie unattached feeling that made him squint a little as he watched his old friend greet him with an air of introductions. It stopped him in his tracks for a short moment, eyebrows raising a little; but he couldn't decline a invitation.
Jack watched his dear old friend as he went welcome the little bird on the stand. At least he seemed to recognize him. "Hello, Balthazar." He chirruped to it lightly, tail swishing left and right momentarily before turning back to Sparrow. "Have you been well? It's been pretty busy, recently - figured I'd come check up on you, make sure you were fine." He ventured, giving the man the benefit of the doubt as he ruffled the bird's feathers lightly.

Sparrow stepped aside to let the young man in, his eyes flickering curiously towards the multicolored tail before he shut the door behind him, his coat waving behind him like a flag as he walked across the room.
"Oh!" he said, turning to look at the bird. "Balthazar, is that his name?"
He peered closer and smiled, the beautiful blue and green creature ruffling its feathers in answer to its name. Sparrow looked back at his visitor. "Thank you!" he said cheerfully. "I was wondering what his name was, he's such a lovely thing."
Blinking in slight bemusement, Sparrow added, "I'm doing quite well, actually! It's all a bit confusing, I must admit, there's such a lot going on, what with finding my room, getting to know my way around, that sort of thing. I haven't quite gotten everything worked out yet, but for the most part I'm doing well!"
He tugged at the collar of his shirt. "Oh!" he said, in what sounded like slight alarm. "Dear me, I've forgotten my manners, how ungainly of me."
He stepped towards the figure and held out a hand.
"I'm Sparrow, by the way - Sparrow Heartreed."

"I am glad that you are fairing well, at least. I was a little worried." He admitted at first, looking away.
Jack had always wanted to visit the Twilight Zone. Just on his own time - and this wasn't the time he expected it to suddenly bear down on him in it's strange-ness. Flicking his ears a little, he tried to figure out what he was going to do with this - those who have forgotten could be adverse to the reaction that they may have actually done the forgetting.
He couldn't harm his bro.
Sighing lightly, he willingly took the hand in his clawed one, giving it a firm shake, looking down at it. "Sparrow. Yeah, I know that. I guess you could say I'm an old friend of yours. Jack-B-Nimble is what everyone calls me, you're welcome to take it back." He stated, giving him a little bow of his head.
"If you need any help, come to me, okay man? We used to be pretty big friends, and I don't want to see you get lost or anything, yeah?" He decided to come out with, tail flicking side to side.

On his perch, Balthazar ruffled his wings, making a little cooing sound. Sparrow moved back towards him, stroking his gloved hand down the bird's back and murmuring to it in soft, reassuring words. He wasn't sure whether the bird was in his room on accident or on purpose, but it seemed to like him, and he was quite taken with it already.
He turned back to Jack.
"An old friend?" Sparrow repeated curiously, tilting his head as he regarded the other. But then a smile spread across his face, bright and pleased. "It's very nice to meet you, Jack," he said, and squeezed the other's hand in greeting. "I'm so very glad to make your acquaintance, it's much nicer here when there are people to be familiar with."
He turned around, his tailcoat swishing. "I'm not sure where anything is yet, so getting lost is quite a possibility, I'm afraid..."
