Few things in life had the ability to settle the chimera ghoul down. Food, at least while it still remained to be eaten, and the company of someone that could the ghoul's attention, however they pleased to accomplish it. Even in class she was a fidgety beast, always tapping a hoof, or twitching her tail, eyes everywhere, including the board. Not a bad student, just not an especially attentive one.
Left to her own devices, the ghoul tended to wander. Exploration not only settled the chimera's curiosity, but it helped to burn off that access of energy she seemed to be overflowing with 99% of the time.
Today she was back in the forest, or the edge of it, poking around in the branches of a weepy willow tree. "I know you're in there," she could be heard singing, face very close to the trunk as she peered into a rotted out knot in the side. Something colorful had gone zipping by her, slipping into the hole before she'd gotten a good look at it. Now she wanted to know what.
Laying on a branch, she pulled her head back to reach a hand into the hole, and bright eyes went wide as her arm disappeared up to the shoulder. How deep was the hole?!

Pale ears had twitched back at the sound of something large moving around between the trees, but she hadn't bothered to tear her gaze away from the knot and what might have been hiding within it. Not until a question was directed up at her, then her head came up with a chirp, and she leaned on her perch to eye the beasty on the ground that was looking up at her.
"Yeah, something zoomed in there, but I'm not sure what." Her hand was withdrawn from the hole, and she folded it with the other over her branch. "looked colorful, though maybe it'd be pretty." Or, at the very least, tasty.
Head tilting, the ghoul smiled. "You're a neat looking fellow."

Zar perked his ears in as friendly a way as he could manage (though it didn't make much of a difference given they were naturally droopy) his tail, which seemed to move like an independent creature coiled around his feet comfortably.
"Thankyou." he said, and his voice was a reptillian snarl. "Though not assssss interesssting as you."
Feeling like it was best to be civilised, he shifted back into his student form, picking a twig out of his hair and giving her a warm smile over his glasses. "Sorry about that, I try to keep myself good and fit, one never knows when one might have to fight these days. I am most sorry to hear that you lost your quarry, burrows are such a nuisance."
Despite the shift in form, the serpentine tail continued its predatory and distracted coiling about his sturdy hooves. "What I was saying however is that you look like no one I have laid eyes on before." he looked her over, lingering just a bit on her neat hooves. "You are a most stunning creature, what might it be that you call yourself?"

"An incubus," she echoed him, head cocking slightly to one side, bird-like, as she looked him over. "I'm a chimera, tropical, not traditional. We're a bit rarer." Her tribe was about thirty strong, but they were the biggest of the three that were known.
Bright eyes followed the sweep of his tail, admiring it, before snapping back up to his face again. It was odd to her, that there were those that had not simply been born with the ability to shift, or fly. More startling was the knowledge that some of the winged students had not always had their wings, but had grown them while at school. Merry couldn't imagine a life without her's, or flight. She'd grown up with them, they were a part of her.
"I'm used to the outdoors," she confirmed, grinning. "The tribe lives in the jungle, building dens in trees. Coming here was a big difference, at first, but I'm used to it now." Electronics had been a scary thing at first, but she'd taken to her phone like most teenagers did.
An extension of her being.
Tail flicking around her ankles, Merry let her gaze wander again. He was a tall boil, broad shoulders with large wings, and twisting horns. Very impressive. "So you've been here a long time?"

Oh, the praise the compliments kept raining in. She beamed at the demon, grinning widely as she clasped her hands behind her back, giggling. Merry had a sweet tooth, for candy, for sweet people, and for sweet words.
"Everyone I've met so far as been really nice, even the demons, though I only know a few." All in all her experience thus far at Amity had been everything she'd hoped it would be and more. The Twins were her neighbor, she was making friends left and right, and classes so far had been a breeze.
Everything had been so lovely in fact that she blinked up at him, head cocking birdlike to one side, as he claimed how lucky he was to still be alive. "What do you mean?"
