(Aw~ He's just a happy guy haha.) The neko nodded, agreeing that it was a relief that the kidnaps had slowed down. No one else would be getting hurt.. for now. Lauren wondered how Grant would handle it if he got caught. He looked kind of weak, though. He would probably give in. If Lauren got caught, there wouldn't be much for her to say anyway. She only knew two people and they were Zalman and Grant. Of course, all she could tell Shadow was that they were half-bloods. Shadow should do her homework otherwise she wouldn't get much from Lauren. "That's right. We can't let ourselves be fooled. Shadow wants us to think that." Lauren sighed and looked at Grant, laughing slightly to herself. "Sorry. I'm not really that good at striking up conversations and carrying it on..." Grant Bixby |

(he's half wolf for pete's sake, but you're right, he would definately give in. XD He's strong actually, but he's a wimp)
Grant chuckled. "That's okay, I do that sometime's too. Let's see, um, if you could go back in time, what is one piece of advice you would give your younger self?" he asked, trying to move along the conversation. Honestly, he couldn't say anything to his younger self, even if he wanted to. If you're a half-blood, you have to stay hidden, or else you're dead.

(Yeah lol I kind of figured there would be some debate there. He's a wolf. He is strong but yeah haha. I'm sure if it was for someone that was dear to him, he would hang in there longer than expected.)
Lauren chuckled softly and blushed a light pink across her cheeks. Her social skills weren't all that great, though. She liked that Grant tried to make up another conversation with her instead of falling into silence. They would both be sitting there in silence then. She couldn't blame him if he had trouble talking to her. Most people were disturbed by her so she understood. I'm not really that much of a talker unless it's something I really care about..
If you could go back in time, what is one piece of advice you would give your younger self? That was a tough one. "I don't think I would tell my younger self. First of all, I'm not good at giving advice. And, I don't think it would be right to change the past. Um... I would tell myself to never give in, even in the hardest times of your life. We all have to go through hardships in life. It's.... well, it's just life. What about you? What would you tell your younger self?"

(lol he would)
"I would just say to my high school self, 'Wear more hoodies, you'll get caught eventually.'" said Grant. "But, you're right, about changing your past. If I did say that to my younger past, I wouldn't be here now." His past came running back to him. Grant remembered the day when the front office called for him, only to find government officials there, with guns. He had to run back to his home, pack his things, and flee to the academy. The academy was like pure heaven to Grant. A place where people were like him, and he wasn't a freak. Animalia Academy seemed even more like heaven when his tour guide, Angelica, was very friendly to him. But, now he couldn't see her anymore...
(oh god I made myself cry)

The past just needed to be left alone. It would change their future if they changed their past. And, they probably would've liked themselves better now than going back and changing themselves. Things happen for a reason, and you react to those events in your own way. Lauren blinked curiously at Grant when he said that if he did tell his younger self that, he wouldn't be here now. Either he meant he would've been dead now or he would've been somewhere else. He'd get caught... He must have meant being a half-blood. "Things happen for a reason. I'm kind of glad that I'm here. I just wish that none of us had to go through the suffering to get here like this. And, look at us now. We are still being treated disrespectfully... in our own home." (Aw  It's okay. Angelica will still be there. Not like visible but she'll always be with them in their hearts<3 I hated RPing Elias, having no clue what was going to hit him.) Grant Bixby |

(aw  ) (Wow their conversation became dark) Grant nodded in agreement. "At first I thought this place was like a rainbow, after a storm. But, like you said, we're being treated horribly in our only save haven. It must've been terrible for the people who've been kidnapped, and already had to deal with enough pain." explained Grant. Honestly, it must have felt like a storm wasn't over. Their rainbow had not come yet, their own happy ending still had to wait. But, Animalia Academy was supposed to be the happy ending. It was supposed to be the sanctuary, it was supposed to be the rainbow, but apparantly the masked assassin believed not. If the assassin was a half-blood, they're a true jerk. Scarring and making people fear for nothing. Nothing but for fun. |

A rainbow, huh? That was some rainbow Grant had imagined. Lauren never thought about the people that had been kidnapped. She was thinking about the ones that haven't been yet. "Yeah..." The ones that had been kidnapped and tortured must have been taking it worse than her. Everything just sucked at the moment. Would they ever escape it? Lauren looked to Grant with an innocent sparkle in her bright eyes like always. "I hope no one else gets tortured... I hope you don't get tortured either." Grant was a nice person, and he seemed like he would make a good friend, too. Sadly, Lauren couldn't say that to him. She always made it awkward when she complimented someone. Let's say she wasn't very good with putting her feelings into words so she decided to hide them away. It didn't matter, anyway. Lauren was just a girl Grant met and talked to. A very strange girl that happened to always mess up a friendly conversation. It's not like he would remember her after the day was over. "Do you have many friends?" she asked, hoping Grant would start to become more upbeat. Of course, pretty much any conversation they came up with would lead back to the torturing and kidnapping. Grant must have been worried about his friends. "Will you tell me what they are like?" Grant Bixby |

(gah this post is gonna be short...I gtg after this)
"Thanks, Lauren. I hope you don't get kidnapped either. " said Grant as he blushed lightly and smiled. Grant would definately remember Lauren. She would be the one who taught him had to shoot a basket, and his second friend. "Well, no. I only had one friend, and she's not here anymore." said Grant.
(gotta go)

(Lol okay. See you later, Mabel!) Lauren tried to stop herself from giggling but she had failed. It was how Grant said that he hoped she wouldn't get kidnapped either. He sounded happy about it, even though it was a sad subject to talk about. Her small giggle turned into a laugh. It probably wasn't that funny, but it was funny to her. Her laughing quit soon and didn't go on for long. "Ah, I see. That must suck." Lauren stuck her tongue out and shrugged her shoulders. Eh, what could you do? It was life. It worked in all kinds of twisted ways. She jumped up from the bench and turned around to face Grant. "Hey, want me to get you a soda or water? I could make a quick jog over to the drink machine. I'm getting kind of thirsty myself." Grant Bixby |

Grant frowned slightly frowned when Lauren didn't give as much sympathy as he thought. His smile returned when she asked if he would like a drink. "I'll come with you to see what choices I have, so that you don't have to yell what there is. " said Grant.
(uh there isn't much more i can say)

"Okay!" Lauren piped up and started to walk over to the drink machine. She slowed her pace so Grant could catch up with her. He should have no trouble keeping up. The neko lashed her tail around and her ears drooped slightly. I could've said that I felt sorry for him... He lost someone close to him. Ugh, maybe I am heartless. Lauren looked back at Grant and said, "I'm sorry... I'm not really good at expressing how I feel. I don't exactly put my feelings into the right words." She didn't mean to sound like she didn't care. It was always a hard thing for her to do. Sometimes she would want to say how she really felt and then it would come out all wrong. She looked back in front of her and sighed hopelessly. No wonder I can't make friends... or even keep them.Grant Bixby |

Grant put on a reasuring face, and said, "Lauren, it's okay. Don't worry about it." He faced the soda machine and looked at the choices, Cherry Soda, Grape Soda, Cola, and Water. (there can be more I just felt like putting these) "I think I may want the Grape Soda. What do you want?" he asked. Grant wanted to pay for both of the drinks, in return of teaching him how to shoot a basket.
(aw grant's so sweet)

(She didn't even teach him how to shoot a basket xD He did it all on his own lol But, yeah. He is sweet.)
A feeling of relief washed over her, and her small smile came back to her face. If she was going to make friends and comfort her friends at the right time, she would have to learn how to put her feelings into words so she could do that. Lauren looked at the soda machine, and their reflections could be seen in the drink machine a little bit. "O-Oh... um..." She reached into the back pocket of her jeans and pulled out her wallet. "I want a Grape soda.." she trailed off as she opened her wallet and looked for the right amount of money. Water would've been the better choice since they were working out a bit. But, having a soda right now shouldn't hurt. I rarely have a soft drink, anyway.

(oh oops  ) "It's okay Lauren, I can pay." said Grant, taking out his wallet. It was covered in cute stickers of puppies and pandas, which wasn't surprising for Grant. He pulled out the correct number of cash, and put the money in. 1 soda rolled into the bottom of the machine, and soon the second one. "Here Lauren." said Grant holding out a can of grape soda. |

Lauren froze up, and she couldn't figure out to protest back in the right words. "I- uh- erm I can- ugh.." It just came out all wrong like always. The girl sighed in defeat and closed her wallet, putting it back in her pocket. Obviously, Grant was going to pay for both sodas. She blushed at the sight of his wallet that was covered in stickers of puppies and pandas. It was so cute! Maybe his sister did that to his wallet.. I'm not going to bother asking just in case I'm wrong. It didn't matter to her whether he put those stickers on there himself. It was... different. Yeah, very different. Lauren smiled and nodded, reaching out and taking the grape soda. "Thank you." Even though, she could've paid with her own money! But, that was okay. Grape soda was her favorite out of the other sodas like cherry, orange, strawberry... Ooh~ Strawberry sounded good, though. Lauren popped the soda open by pressing the tab down hard enough for it to open. It gave her shivers with excitement, and she took a sip of the grape flavored soda. She let out a satisfied sigh and held the can with both hands, staring down at it thoughtfully. "You're really nice, Grant. So, uh... does this mean that we're friends? I-It's okay if that's not the case here.. You're just being so nice to me. But, I guess you're just being nice because you want to be. That's fine, too." she said and took another sip of her soft drink. Grant Bixby |

Grant pulled the tab and pushed it into the soda can. He took a sip of his soda, and eventually a larger sip. It was refreshing, which soda usually was. "Your welcome, Lauren!" said Grant, smiling once more. He took another sip as he listened to what she had to to say. Grant swallowed, and said, "Thanks. It does, if you want to be friends. Well, I'm just a happy guy, who needs friends." It was true, he was a naturally perky guy, but Grant never really had friends.

Her ears perked up at the sound of Grant's soda can popping open. Lauren smiled and nodded, taking another sip from her soda. She flicked her black tail when Grant had told her that it did mean they were friends. That's if she wanted to be friends with him. Well, duh! That's why she was so nervous about asking him. She wanted to be friends with him. "I-I'd love to be your friend!" Lauren sighed and leaned up against the building, keeping her tail down low. It would feel uncomfortable if her tail was pressed against the wall. She stared down at her drink and smiled, blushing lightly. A purr started to rumble in her throat. "Yes... friends. I've always liked the idea of making friends." "So, what are you going to do after this?" Grant Bixby |

Grant smiled. "Yay! Friends!" he smiled happily. (wow smile overload) Friends were awesome. They always had your back, and they were always giving sympathy in harsh times. At least, that's what knew about friends. "Huh? Oh, well, I might take a stroll through the forest, y'know, just to clear my head from stress. I hope I won't go too far in, and get lost." Grant replied back to Lauren.

Lauren chuckled when Grant had cheered with excitement for friends. That was right.. Grant had lost his only friend, Angelica. Well, he had Elias there for him. Now, he has Lauren to keep him company. Grant was so silly! Saying that he hoped he wouldn't go too far into the forest. Lauren had also gone too far on her second day there. She got lost and ended up going around and around in circles. "Well, then don't go too far into the forest. I got lost in there on my second day. I should've slept closer to the academy... I met a bird half-blood then we parted ways. Before I knew it, I was lost! I ran into the bird half-blood again, and he flew me back to the academy. His name is Zalman." Grant Bixby |

It's okay. Angelica will still be there. Not like visible but she'll always be with them in their hearts<3 I hated RPing Elias, having no clue what was going to hit him.)
