 Charmstar was slowly finding out the advantages and disadvantages of being a junior. One the one hand, he had so much more freedom! His caretaker doesn't check in on him every other minute (a gross exaggeration but let the kid have his memories) and he wasn't constantly asked if he was alone. But the subjects were getting harder and he couldn't just coast in classes so there was that unfortunate development. But on the other hand, he could just buy whatever he wanted (within reason of course) and no one would bat an eye! Probably that was why, as he strode into the Academy's cafeteria, when he spotted a lovely pink student, the white-haired fallen asked, "Buy you a snack?"Tangled Puppet I am so sorry, my boy comes on strong x.x

Syra sat at one of the first tables in the cafeteria — close to the entrance — reading an assigned book as she sipped on her water and munched on some chips. She fully expected to not be bothered, as she had been left alone, while studying, many times before. So when she heard someone’s voice close to her, she didn’t realize the question was directed to her at first. When a shadow loomed over her, she blinked and glanced up, a frown causing the corners of her lips to twitch slightly downward. “What? Are you talking to me?” She glanced around, searching to see if anyone was near her that he might be talking to instead. When she saw no one, Syra turned her gaze back to the fallen. “I uh...already have a snack?” Syra said as she held up her half eaten bag of chips. Huni Pi Pfft...haha. No problem. It'll be fun. >] Again, I'm sorry for such a slow response.

"Buy you another snack? Or something to drink that isn't water?" The fallen easily corrected himself, still smiling as his golden wings carefully folded behind him. His next attempt was to put the litch at ease or at the very least give an explanation, "I thought you could use a top up and since I was gonna get in line to buy something for myself, I figured I could offer to save you the trip." Although another glance at the half-eaten bag of chips had Charmstar's conscience (and his caretaker's words echoing like a ghost in his head) prompting him to add, "Maybe a sweet snack, like some fruits or juice to contrast with what you just ate?" Tangled Puppet No worries~ I'm in no rush :3 and yes, Charmstar is genuinely health conscious XDDDD

Syra squinted at the fallen. She didn’t really need another snack — but he seemed so persistent on getting her something. She glanced down at her bag of chips and shrugged. “An apple sounds nice,” Syra said as she glanced back up at the fallen. “Do I get to know the name of the person so insistent on feeding me?”

The fallen gave the lovely pink nightmare a smile and a mischievous wink, "Once I return with the promised goods." And it was just lucky for him that there wasn't a line and that he could quite easily and quite quickly return with the aforementioned apple on a tray. Of course he also bought something for himself (he was feeling a little hungry too), some carrot and celery sticks along with a small packet of peanut butter (because he still liked his sweets.) "For you," he said, placing the tray down for the other nightmare to take. "I'm Charmstar, but my friends like to call me Charm. Would it be alright for me to know yours?" He would have mentioned that he found her pretty too, but he'd learned as a freshling outright saying someone was pretty when they were the same age as his didn't always turn out well.

Syra raised an eyebrow when the fallen returned to her table. She’d half expected him to change his mind and go on his way. Instead, though, he handed her the apple she’d requested. She gestured towards one of the chairs lined along the table. “Join me?” she asked as she took a bite out of her apple. The crisp, sweetness satisfied something inside her that the bag of chips hadn’t and it made her remember just how much she loved fruit — she really should start getting fruit more often than chips. “My name’s Syra,” she said after swallowing her bite of apple. “Thanks for the apple, by the way.”

"Sure!" Charmstar grinned, gladly sitting opposite the litch and began unpacking his tray. "It's no problem. I wouldn't have made the offer if I wasn't going to keep my word." That was how being honorable worked, right? The fallen remembered reading something like that in one of the books his caretaker was hiding on the very top of the communal bookshelf. Speaking of books, violet eyes fell upon the book Syra had with her. "Were you studying for a test or were you just doing advanced reading?" he asked as he peeled open the packet of peanut butter and dunked a celery stick in one. He may have taken an extra generous portion, suggesting he would be going back for another packet later. Tangled Puppet I am trash, thank you for putting up with me ;;

“Advanced reading,” Syra said as she tapped the cover of the book and then turned it to face Charmstar. “For literature, of course. It’s actually really interesting. Usually when I’m assigned a book it’s rather boring and I dread reading it. This one, though, I like.” She pulled the book back towards her after he’d had some time to read the title. “I suppose I looked weird sitting in the middle of the cafeteria reading. I just felt kind of closed up in my room and needed to get out. And I was hungry.”

Charmstar shook his head, "Weird? No, you didn't look weird. You looked like you could have used a top-up," he said as he leaned back back in his chair, twirling the half-bitten celery stick in his fingers before dunking one end in the peanut butter. "I'm more of a listener than a reader. Heh, makes me wish the school could, like, offer textbooks with an audio-book version. It'd be like having your own personal study buddy! That would make studying a lot easier for me," he chuckled. He pursed his lips thought, "Are you in a study group or something?" he asked and was unable to keep himself from saying "Pretty litch like you, I bet you had to beat away all the offers."

Syra raised an eyebrow and shook her head at Charm’s question. “No, no study group. I had a few offers but I turned them down. I like to socialize but I study better on my own.” It was the truth, too. Syra was a proverbial social butterfly and she loved to be around people. However, she concentrated on school work much better if she was alone — or, on a rare occasion, one on one. She leaned back in her chair and stretched her arms above her head. “I’ve been reading for a while. I’m glad you interrupted me. Gives me an excuse for a break.” She sat, thinking, for a moment before speaking up again. “Would you like to go for a walk? Or did you have something else you needed to do? I could do with stretching my legs.”

"Oh. That's good to know," Charmstar said and meant it. At least he knew what not to ask in order to have her company. He was still pondering on what else he could invite her to when she beat him to it. The feathers of his golden wings fluttered and he got up easily, "Sure!" Then he coughed to hide his enthusiasm, lest he come across as creepy. "I-I mean, okay~ I was planning on doing that after I ate anyway."He then held his arms out, "Carry your book for you?" he offered, purple eyes darting towards her book.

Syra blinked, taken aback for a moment at the offer Charm extended. She glanced down to her book — an item that wasn’t particularly heavy or hard to carry — and then back up to Charm. Her eyebrow raised as a thought crossed her mind. Was he trying to flirt? Or was he just being a gentleman? Syra chewed on her lip, debating on asking and, inevitably, deciding against it for the moment. Instead, she held up her book and gave the fallen a small smile. “S-sure… Let’s get out of here, yeah?”

Things weren't going as Charmstar hoped. Not that things weren't going well for the fallen but he remembered this whole flirting thing was so very much easier and simpler when he was still a freshling. He could just tell someone he thought they were pretty outright and that would be it. But now as a junior he had so many other things to consider beyond whether or not he really thought the other nightmare was pretty. But Syra had yet to ask him to leave her alone so he was chalking this up to just another part of the complicated reality of being older. He brightened considerably when she accepted his offer, however. "No problem," he said and plucked the book from her hand, careful not to let their fingers touch. Charmstar liked to flirt but personal boundaries had become important to him. "Lead the way."

Syra’s smile grew a bit as Charm let her lead the way out of the cafeteria. Even if he was flirting — which would get him no where — he was at least being a gentleman about it and not some big, macho man that thought he needed to control everything. That made Syra a little sad that she wasn’t interested in him — a all — in that way. Tucking a strand of loose hair behind her ear she took off in the direction of the exit, confident that the fallen would be close behind her. She racked her mind for things to talk about and finally settled on something simple and easy enough to build a conversation on. “So, since we’ve been talking about schooling and such...what are you interested in? Any plans for your future yet? It seems like the older we get, the more the teachers and other school staff are pushing us to figure our future careers out.”

Charmstar did indeed follow after Syra as they walked and did his best to keep apace of her. And honestly, he appreciated her effort to get a conversation going between them. The fallen already knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. Except the answer he had at the ready was something he'd crafted for the adults to hear. Telling a speech about his desires to "explore the entertainment and telecommunications industry and becoming a representative of it or at least an aspect of it" felt downright weird. So he reworked his thoughts into something less text-book-y sounding. "I want get on air, y'know? Not as a singer or actor, though. I want to be like one of those deejays or veejays on the radio or a talk show host on television." And because he'd made a habit of it, he ended his answer with what he had practiced to be his "winning smile." A beat. "What about you? What are your dreams and such?"
