Helki grinned to himself as he stood before the door of the room that was right next to the one he had just moved into upon his successful transfer to Amityville Academy. According to the schedule that was handed to him, he was supposed to sit through an orientation for the next two days before he could then join the other first years in their classes. A new place with new people to meet and befriend. He could barely contain his excitement at the days to come now that he was over the initial reluctance of having to leave the familiarity of his home, family and the friends he had previously made behind.
What kept him going, which he reminded himself constantly of, was the Mahamba boil who resided behind this door. Everything he had done was so that he would eventually be reunited with Zaire. His parents had no choice but to relent, given how much he bugged, begged and badgered them to no end until he got what he wanted even though Jack helped them if they ever figured out what had consumed the Honshu wolf boil to suddenly pursue such a notion with such fervent.
He had to admit that he did not understand why Zaire suddenly upped and left him without a word one day. Things were going fine between them and they were happy. He could not see what it was that had driven the other away from him without so much as leaving him an explanation. He must not have had a choice in the transfer - that had to be it. And so it became his personal goal to seek Zaire and ensure that whatever was necessary to take him back to the Mahamba boil's side was done. And so here he was. Finally.
Zaire, Year One.
He read that over and over again with glee, wondering now how the other boil would react the moment he answered his door and realised who it was yonder. He wondered how he and Grey were after all this time that they had been apart. Had they gotten fatter or thinner? Zaire had probably gotten fatter given how much of an appetite he always had and the paucity of physical activity he tended to favour. As for Grey... well he hoped that the mini was still alive with how long he wasn't around to ensure that Zaire didn't attempt to turn him into an impromptu snack just because the cafeteria was too far for him.
Taking a deep breath, he checked to ensure that he was looking his best then lifted his hand to rap soundly on the door.
