Welcome to Gaia! ::

Holland stepped off of the bus with a look of wonder in his eyes. So this was DCU?! His parents didn't say it would be THIS big! It made Sovereign Heights look a tiny bit smaller, which also meant that he had a grater chance of getting lost, which would make him late to classes, and then he would become the laughing stock...Eh, once again, something for future Holland to worry about. At the moment they were touring the library, which he kept note of the location. He planned on spending as much study time here as possible since he knew he was not going to get any studying done when he was at home or during the night.

He took note of the fact that there was a manga section before moving on with the rest of the crowd. Since he was studying biochemistry, he was super stoked to see the science wing and maybe meet his teachers for next year. There wasn't much for the social part of the building but he did appreciate the fact that the lunchroom almost looked like how the food court would at the mall. Holland quickly stopped to buy something to drink from the vending machine, catching up to the group in time for them to make it to the science wing.

This is where he was going to be next year?! Awesome! The fact that he was in front of the group made it all the better for him to see everything. He couldn't wait till he finally graduated and came here to learn! The next stop was the greenhouse where the botany students were currently at due to the winter season. Everyone looked around, taking note of the pretty colors as well as the fact that it was slightly warmer inside. Holland was currently watching one of the students pruning their flower when he saw a familiar shade of white hair.

Hollands eyes brightened slightly as he made his way over. "Theo right? I didn't know you were a student here!~"

Well that couldve went better.

Holland wasn't expecting the guy to be overly excited but sheesh, something other than melancholy would be nice. Shifting from foot to foot, Holland tried not to make things awkward, "Yeah I'm in one of the tour groups." His face deadpanned, "I'm not that young.....Ill be turning 22 in December on the 11th...I just go to Sovereign heights. Ill be coming here next year to start my degree in biochem. Sometimes he hated his baby face and height, it always gave him problems no matter how much he tries to avoid them.

Oh? Wow....Theo looked....Much older than he originally thought. Maybe it was because he looked worn down each time he's seen him? Man looks like he has been through stuff back to back with no break in between. It made him feel sad in a way to see some one so young look so just done already. He decided to sit down for a bit, figuring the tour wasn't going to leave, "It can be if youre not as into math. But I would say Botany can be just as hard, imagine having to keep a plant alive and thriving...I would literally fail each time if I didn't have any help." He snorted at the fact that Theo thought he was supposed to teach or tell him something, "You dont have to teach or tell me anything. I just want to see what you do in Botany is all." He looked to the plant Theo was working with, "What plant is that?"

Also he was sure the food was alright, it was a college, they are considered to be anywhere between a 2-3 star rating as far as the cafeteria is concerned, just barely a step up from high school. Noting the scowl, he shook his head, "Don't really need to talk if you dont want to. Like I said I just want to see and observe. Did the same thing for the literature, social, and other buildings. The science wing was the most fun though, totally not biased." He laughed a little, still curious about all the plants and what they would be using in the dirt to make sure they all grew so well.

Holland thought about that mouthful as far as the plants was concerned, finding it funny that if he were to talk chem it would probably sound funny to Theo as well. He carefully leaned forward to smell the flower, humming with approval. For some odd reason it made him think of a certain senshi that reminded him of mocha and chocolate. He was sure that wasn't his power but either way, it didn't make him frown, unlike when he thought about the cake pop back when he was at work.

He leaned back with a smile, being careful not to accidentally break anything, "True but sometimes its not so bad to sit in silence~ Thank you, it really does smell like chocolate." He was curious about some other things, "How does grafting work with plants?" He tilted his head, eyes reading curiosity. He knew how grafts worked for the human body with things like a skin graft but was it the same thing with plants? He was indeed curious.

That stick comment took everything in Holland to keep a straight relaxed face and not to be immature. For what it was worth, it was still very interesting information when compared to how grafts worked for humans. He stared at the example in front of him, wishing he had the talent to try something like this. At that last bit he nodded, "True. Its the same with biochem and most things in general." He thought back to that senshi once more resisting the urge to roll his eyes. He really needed to meet other people on his side so he could stop trying to cling to some one that is ONCE AGAIN an enemy. He couldn't be that desperate for friends could he?

Hell no.

The guide was calling for all guests to say good bye so they could move onto the next location. Holland was a bit sad but he understood they had to move on at some point. He gave Theo a soft smile, "Welp...Time to move on sadly. Thank you for letting me bother you Theo." gave him a happy wave, "Hopefully you'll stop by the cafe again some time? If not Ill probably see you later on next year~" Holland jogged to catch up to the group that was slowly leaving him behind, maybe he could make a new friend out of Theo?

He thought back to how he seemed a bit grumpy and unapproachable, chuckling.

Maybe.
