Albus looked to the page and gritted his teeth. Knowing that Shanoa had made this for him filled him with even more hatred for the scum that they had to share this school with. Swallowing it down, he tried his best to get rid of the anger, and see in colors again other than red. He glanced down to the picture and admired it. Despite the destruction that has come to it, it was still a nice piece. Shanoa had talent in many things he did not, and it showed.

His head turned to scan her, “You like how I look when I write?” he asked. “How do I look exactly? Do I have a different face? A stupid one?” He joked, not even realizing that he had a certain appearance when he would write in his journal.

Shanoa chuckled and shook her head, raven black hair spilling over her shoulders due to her movements. "Not at all. You look thoughtful but peaceful too. I really like it. So, I watched you a few times, just so I could draw this." She giggled a little, the sound almost odd coming from her but Albus made her feel safe and she always let her guard down around him.

"I promise to make you a new one but I still hope you like the surprise." The other drawings that were ruined were just for fun and practice so it was no real loss but this one had bothered her greatly. It was what had provoked the boys to bully her, seeing that she had a picture of him. That information she kept to herself however. 

"So, what were you writing about?"

"Oh so you know where they are? Good. I’ll be back from their rooms in just a little while…" He spat, but after eyeing Shanoa and seeing how much she didn’t want him to go, he holstered Agartha with a heavy sigh. "We have to stop letting these morons get away with this, or they’ll never leave you alone. I’m sick of letting it slide just to avoid a confrontation with the geezer." His anger obviously still prevalent. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. There was nothing that could be done now, and getting all worked up wouldn’t help matter in the slightest. He forced himself to take a seat and relax. However, if he happened to run into one of those individuals on the way back to his own room…. well.. then he technically wouldn’t have been looking for trouble. The thought to himself almost made him smirk.

Shanoa sighed softly as well, taking a moment before she moved to sit back down, inching just a little closer to him. "I know, I know, but I just don't want you to get into trouble. Even if we informed Barlowe, next time, they'll just be worse to us to get even again. It's just not worth it." She eyed him with her blue gaze and then glanced to her ruined pictures. With a heavy heart she grabbed one and held it out towards him.

"This was going to be a surprise for you.. I'll redraw it but I still wanted you to see it." She managed a half-smile and waited for his reaction. It had taken her a considerable amount of time and she was proud of the piece. Upon closer inspection Albus would see that it was a drawing of him. On the paper, he was sitting in the courtyard, much like they were now, and was busy writing in his journal. It was something he did often so it was easy to see why it had inspired her.

"I hope you like it regardless. I just like the way you look when you write, so I wanted to draw you."

Albus looked up from his journal in time to see Shanoa’s arrival. He spotted her broken back, damaged documents, and less than excited expression within moments and new immediately what had happened. With one motion, he stood and grabbed Agartha swiftly, “Who did it… Tell me which way they went.” He snarled, not mad at Shanoa at all, but obviously irritated at the attention she had been receiving. Albus had dealt with his share of bullies, but he had a temper. He didn’t take it as well as Shanoa and that had gotten him in trouble with Barlowe on more than one occasion. When someone bothered Shanoa, however, he would deal with whatever consequences the old man would hand out. He wasn’t about to let these misfits get away with this.

Knowing Shanoa would be reluctant to speak, he shook his head. “Just tell me which way. I promise I won’t get… too trigger happy..” He said, ‘no promises though..’ he thought to himself. Agartha tended to get upset as well when people picked on Shanoa…

[darkenedrecollection-blog]

Shanoa had expected his reaction and had even braced for it but his bitterness still somewhat surprised her. He was a much more emotional person than she was, which wasn't always bad, but it did often lead to him acting more quickly on his anger, letting it take control more than it should have. She didn't blame him, he was just protecting her, but hunting them down would solve nothing. She was just glad he hadn't been there when it happened or there would have been bullet holes in the walls of the school. "Oh Albus, just.. just stay with me. Don't sink to their level.." Shanoa stood, inching closer to him. He was tense, she could see that even by looking at him but she had to find a way to calm him down. "I'm touched you want to defend me but they're not worth it. They ripped up a few drawings, I can just redraw them again.. it's not a big deal." She never wanted to condone bullying but Albus was more important to her than seeking revenge. Had they gotten physical to her personally she would have been more than happy to let Albus do whatever it was he wanted but based on what had happened she was ready to just let it go. She didn't want them to get away with it but getting Albus into trouble wasn't worth it at all. "Please, don't leave my side. I'm sure they're all back in their rooms by now anyway.."

Ecclesian Night (Closed)

Tired from a rather taxing session of one of his recent classes, Albus saught sanctuary in Ecclesia’s courtyard. The moon was full in the sky, casting a silver light upon the dreary academy in which he and Shanoa reluctantly called home. After he caught his breath from the profuse lesson of magic usage and countering, the chilling night air was a welcome guest embracing his form as he passed through the rather elegant door to the outside. Normally, students of Ecclesia were advised against going outside at night due to the many dark creatures that may lurk in the shadows of the surrounding woods, however, Albus payed this no mind. The night was the most welcoming time for him to travel outdoors despitre the dangers. With Agartha at his side, he was certain he could overcome any foe that would be foolish enough to gain such proximity to Ecclesia’s wards. After a few steps were taken, he took a much welcome seat on one of the stone benches and promptly pulled out his journal to begin documenting some of today’s “highlights.” He’d learned a few more spells, but gotten his ass kicked doing so. The cons usually outweighed the pros here, that is until he would be reunited with his partner through all of annoyance. “Hm.. Usually she’s done by now. Where are you?” he muttered to himself, patiently awaiting Shanoa to arrive and greet him as she always did.

[darkenedrecollection-blog]

Shanoa had been held up but it was no fault of her own. She had finished up her own lessons around the same time Albus had but unfortunately for her she had run into some unwelcome company. Company that hadn't had any issues bothering her. Despite their ages, as most of the students within Ecclesia were older, Shanoa was still picked on. It was as if some people had never left their childhood immaturity behind but Shanoa dealt with it, as best as she could. She could easily take them on in a fight, could defend herself if necessary, but she hated to start trouble that would get back to Barlowe. She hated disappointing him. So far, she had kept quiet about the bullies. Barlowe had enough on his plate and she could handle it. Shanoa made her way towards the courtyard and sighed with relief when her subtle blues spotted Albus, writing in his journal. The familiar sight brought a smile to her lips but she couldn't exactly hide what she had been through. She seemed upset and more noticeably the bag she usually carried had been damaged, the strap broken. "I'm sorry I kept you waiting.." She muttered as she took a spot beside him, bent and damaged papers within her hand. Upon them were her drawings, all ruined by the boys that had stopped her in the ill-lit hallways of Ecclesia.

Albus couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the mention of the professor’s words. “He needs to get off of his damn pedestal and get a life,” Albus practically spat the words out of his mouth, obviously demonstrating a distaste for said instructor. “Maybe if the others didn’t have their heads stuck up his ass, they’d actually have some fun too. This school is full of brown nosers, and it seems as though he can’t get enough of it.” His head quickly found itself leaned back against the sofa, eyes closed and allowing the sounds of the rain and the fire relax him.

"Don’t let him bother you. We both worked our ass off on that assignment. He was just upset that you did so well without staying after every day like everyone else to stroke his ego. I’d rather get a bad grade than give him the satisfaction." He said in a brutally honest tone. "Only a few more weeks with him though.. Then we get a new asshole.."

[darkenedrecollection-blog]

Shanoa listened and allowed Albus to vent a little, just as she had. Despite Albus always been so keen to study and do well Shanoa was often surprised when he complained about professors or certain assignments. It didn't annoy her by any sense of the word, she complained too, it just tended to still surprise her when he vented about doing the things he was so good at. He didn't struggle with any assignment or subject, was usually respectful of the higher ups, and yet here he was, tearing apart one of Shanoa's least favorite professors right alongside her, even going so far as to say the next one they'd get would be bad too.

"I guess we'll have to wait and see. We'll get through our remaining classes together." She shrugged her shoulders and let out a small sigh. "Hey, wait a minute. Where's your girlfriend?" Shanoa smirked and allowed her blue eyes to scan the room, intent on knowing where Albus' lady friend was. "You know.. the pretty girl with brown hair and brown eyes." 

There was no doubt Albus would be confused seeing as, at least to Shanoa's knowledge, he had no girlfriend. She allowed the joke to linger for a few moments before finally blurting out. "I mean Agartha! I don't see her.. but I don't really mind if she's not around tonight, I hate being the third wheel for you two."

As Shanoa made her way into the room, Albus let himself smirk at her comment. “Well, in my defense, I just picked this one up about five minutes before you arrived. So I’d say I’m doing pretty well.” The book was set down on the table as thunder continued to crash outside. The room, however, was warm and welcoming with a soft orange glow that the fire offered. With a sigh, Albus rose from his spot and took it upon himself to move Shanoa’s feet from the end of the couch, taking a seat, and then setting them back where they were only now upon his legs.

"Decided to remain after class? I know how much you admire that professor." He laughed lightly, knowing the previous class had an instructor which they both loathed. He was arrogant, rude, and hardly helpful but they had to go through it. At least they went through it together with the occasional bout of purposely giving the man a hard time to achieve their own little sense of satisfaction.

[darkenedrecollection-blog]

As Shanoa nestled into her new position thanks to him she couldn't help but roll her eyes at the mention of their professor. "Don't even say things like that. He made me stay late so he could talk to me about my last assignment. He told me outright it wasn't up to his standards and that he expected more from me." Shanoa resisted the urge to roll her eyes once more, annoyed by what the teacher had told her. She had actually worked hard on her assignment but no matter what she said the professor hadn't listened.

"Oh.. and he did mention you. He says that we're both a bad influence on each other and that when we're together we don't fully concentrate on being our best academic self. I laughed a bit at that.. he wasn't pleased." Shanoa giggled a little at recalling her reaction to his words. It's not as if her and Albus weren't serious, but when they were together they did like to have a bit of fun. They still got their work done so Shanoa didn't see the harm in them goofing off in class a little.

Another Dreary Night (Closed for Darkenedrecollection)

It was another normal night in Ecclesia. The required classes and meetings had ended and everyone had returned back to their respective rooms and areas throughout the castle. Albus, however, decided not to return to his room just yet, as he had no intention of sleeping anytime soon despite have obligations early in the morning. He was never much of a sleeper, choosing instead to spend his night gaining knowledge rather than wasting time unconcious. With book in hand, Albus finished another chapter and closed the tome for a moment to mull over what he had just read. It was raining out, as it often did around this area, but it only added to the ‘reading’ atmosphere which Albus had taking a liking to.

Thunder crashed in the distance, but it didn’t bother him. He hardly even noticed it, being lost in his thoughts. The only thing he could hear within a short distance was the roaring of the small fireplace of one of the common room which he stationed himself in for the night. Though he hadn’t seen her since the end of their last seminar, he expected to see Shanoa any moment now. She usually joined him at night and was welcome company. Albus didn’t have any other friends, usually choosing to keep to himself so the fact that he allowed Shanoa in was enough to prove even to himself that she was important to him. As he closed the tome for now he heard the clicking of footsteps coming from a nearby hallway.

"Right on time, I just finished a chapter anyways."

[darkenedrecollection-blog]

Shanoa's long strides stationed her within earshot of his words, a smirk pulling at her lips as she heard his statement. "Only a chapter? I'm surprised you haven't read that whole thing by now.." The raven haired beauty shook her head as her blue eyes scanned the cover of the book he was reading. She read her fair share too and usually always did the necessary readings for her classes but her nose wasn't in a book nearly as much as Albus' was.

As she crossed further into the room she stationed herself a few feet from Albus, deciding to lay upon one of the leather couches but not before she flung her schoolbag upon it's glossy surface. Tomes and pieces of parchment gushed from the worn bag but Shanoa paid it no mind, not really caring if her notes became a little messy. It probably drove Albus nuts, her lack of organization, but she had other things to worry about and keeping her schoolwork in neat and tidy stacks was not one of them.

"Keep reading if you'd like, don't let me bother you."
