Shawn White Life had been slow for Claire lately. No one had really been in need her attention, and her need for something to do stalked her like a wolf hunting a deer. Her recent conversation with Damian in the greenhouse only a few hours before had left Claire strangled and confused, her heart wrenched with a need for love, but the belief that it would never be found after her parents death.
Plopped on a smooth rock, the cold of it's stone surface seeping into her flesh and cooling her warm skin, atop a large mountain north of campus in the Half-Blood forest, Claire stared out in thought. Thoughts swirled about, and she fished at them with her heart and soul, wishing them away or closer, sorting them like one sorts their room before moving; memories of parents death? -dispose. Memories of time with mother? -Keep.
Around Claire the few pine trees swayed as the wind wracked at them. The occasional snowflake settled on her black hair, but quickly melted on her hot skin. After all, snow leopards were always over a hundred degrees. Claire didn't even shiver, although she was dressed in a black T-shirt, a thin black sweatshirt, and grey sweatpants. Claire's tail was curled around her, legs drawn up to her chest while she leaned against the L-shaped stone. Ears flicking to rid themselves of the occasional drop of water, Claire allowed herself to sit still, her never-ending stillness possibly unsettling for any that watched her.

Shawn, a new sudent, was walking through the forest. A breeze blew through his golden blonde hair, sticks and twigs snapped underneath in feet, it was all normal to him. He did live in a forest before he came to Animalia Academy. After a couple of minutes, Shawn came across a girl a little older than him with black hair. She looked lonely, and for Shawn's caring personality, he decided to join her. "Um, hi. Do you mind if I join you?" asked Shawn.

Claire blinked and turned her head, brown irises dark and mysterious. It took her a moment to register the request, but she nodded and scooted over, leaving a good foot of space for the boy. "I don't mind," She replied, stretching quickly then pulling her legs back up, crossed at the ankles. "I'm Claire. Snow leopard."
(Goodbye muse)

"Cool," Claire grunted, fiddling with the bottom of her pants. "Why you up here, Shawn? Bears don't usually come up to elevations like these." She looked up, gazing out at the landscape below, stretching far over the tree tops.

"Well, I don't really know. I just came to clear my mind I guess." explained Shawn.

||*Receding whistle* *explosion*||
Claire made a high-pitched grunt, her eyes still on the horizon. "So.." She murmured. "What'da think of the Academy?"

"It's nice, but I don't have any friends yet." said Shawn sadly. He was always nice, usually, but no one seemed to notice him.

"Oh," she replied, turning towards him, shifting her body so she would be facing him. "I'll be your friend?" Claire smiled, almost for permission.

Claire smiled longer, her deep brown gaze locked with Shawn's in a trance she didn't understand. Biting her lip, she turned away again and watched the horizon, not daring to see if the boy next to her was still watching her.

Claire smiled too, her bitten lip turning into a smile. "What?" she squealed, giving Shawn a slight shove. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Cause you're cute." said Shawn smiling a really dorky smile.

Claire blushed more than she ever had and bit her lip until it turned white. "Oh, uh, thanks.." she stammered. "To be honest.. you are too." Stupid. What is wrong with you, Claire? PULL IT TOGETHER!! But she didn't. She just kept watching him with a smile

Shawn chuckled as Claire said he was cute. "So, um, the weather's nice." Said Shawn changing the subject.

"Yeah," Claire noted, happy for the change, hesitating before continuing. "Wanna run? In our animal forms, I mean?" |OH YEZ! I' listening to Lorde right now  | |

"Sure, why not? I'll try not to trample you." joked Shawn as he transformed into a grizzly bear.

Claire rolled her brown eyes as she stood and allowed her beast to emerge. Grey-white fur speckled with black spots coated her tough warm skin, and her bones bend and morphed into a cat-like state, and her size grew. A snow leopard, Claire was nearly as large as Shawn, and she growled playfully. "I'd like to see you catch me first!" She barked, sniffing his stiff stature. "You look like a a bid brown pear!" With a grin, she bounded off into the trees, glancing back in hopes the bear-boy would follow.

Shawn grew a little angry and started to chase Claire. Soon, he was not too far away from her, and swatted his paw hoping to catch Claire.

Claire ducked out of the way, but the swing caught her tail. It didn't penetrate the skin, but she still nearly lost her balance. However, quickly, she bounded further on, leaped up onto a tree, and began climbing. Quickly, she arrived at a branch just out of Shawn's reach, and flicked her tail playfully.

Claire giggled, swinging her now-human legs over the side of the branch. "Your bear-boy self strong enough to catch me?" She teased, mostly serious.

"I dunno, let's find out." Shawn started to climb up the tree and sat next to Claire. "Well, does that answer your question?" Asked Ahawn smiling.

She rolls her eyes. "Well, not exactly," She replied, attempting to meet his gaze. "I was going to jump down and have you catch me but.. oh well." Claire shrugs, confused at the warm tinge in her heart. Was that love? She couldn't tell- it had been too long since she last felt it.

Biting her lip, Claire waited until Shawn got into position, wondered quickly why he was being so nice and heck - catching her. "Three," she counted down. "Two, ONE!" Pushing herself off the branch, Claire felt the sensation of falling, and readied herself to change and land on four cat paws - just in case, she held the feeling on the edge of her change.

Shawn caught Claire, but dropped a little before going back up again. "See Claire? I do have strength!" Said Shawn happily.

Claire giggled, biting her lip as she stayed in Shawn's warm arms. "Since when did I say you couldn't?"
She felt quite comfortable as she wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling her heart beat desperately, hearing his. Her eyes searched his face, unsure of what to do with the urge she had to lean forward and allow their lips to meet.

(My face right now.) Shawn felt happy as Claire wrapped her arms around his neck. He set her down on her feet on the ground and put his arms around her waist, unsure of what to do, even though he wanted to lean in and kiss. |
