‘This human is weird…’
That was the first thought Grim had looking up at the dark skinned, green haired human.
He’d just managed to blast open the closest coffin with his flames, only to be greet by a human who was already awake!
“Some things never change, huh?”
Their face looked not at all surprised to see the direbeast as they easily stepped out of the coffin and looked around the mirror chamber. Their light grey eyes seemed almost…bored. Tired?
Familiar
Grim shook the thoughts of deja vu from his head, puffing himself up to look as imposing as possible.
“You’ve got a lot of nerve, ignoring a future Great Mage like myself! Now, give me those clothes, human!”
“Ah, apologies, Grim, but I feel like they’d be a bit big on you, wouldn’t you agree?”
They wore an amused smile, grinning at him as though they were old friends. It made his fur bristle.
Grim balked. “How’d you know my name?!”
They blinked, and if Grim was paying more attention he’d have noticed their shock.
“...You said it yourself. Just now? Future Great Mage Grim?”
He hissed at them. “Oh, whatever! Gimme your uniform, and be quick about it! ‘Cause if you don’t…”
Smoke at his lips escaped from his lips, a blue fireball on the tip of his tongue.
“..you’re gonna regret it!”
The human only shook their head fondly, their easy smile not leaving their face for a moment.
“Silly kitty. If you want my robes… you’ll have to catch me first~!”
The human jumps over Grim’s head with a surprising amount of grace, and he yowls in surprise. Laughing at his reaction, the human takes off through the thick double doors.
“M-Myah?! G-get back here!”
He takes off after him, spewing fire all the way.
He finally catches up to corners them in the library, where they have the audacity to be reading a book .
“Oh? You finally decided to join me?”
“Huff…huff… Gimme…*huff* gimme those robes, human, or I’ll burn ya to a crisp!”
They tilt their head and shoot him an amused grin.
“Oh, will you really? Killing your fellow student is surely a one way ticket to expulsion, you know.”
‘What’s wrong with this kid?!’
Ignoring the morbid comment, he flicks his tail, irritated. “Don’t think I won’t! Now, take off those-“
Something strikes him, and in an instant he’s bound. ‘What the-!’
“Me-YEOWCH! That hurt! What gives?!”
Shoes clack on the library floor as deep voice scoffs from behind him.
“Consider it tough love.”
