The Academy For Mythical Creatures discussion

"Maybe you could switch a class or try out a new instrument, we are in band after all." Grayson said as ey pointed at the instruments along the walls.

"No, not that-" She gestured around herself,
"I think I need to change something, but it doesn't have to do with academics or giving up the trumpet."

"Maybe you should try to meet someone new? That's a pretty big change."

She shrugged,
"Why meet someone new when I can change my relationship with someone I already know?"

"True, that's a good idea as well."

"So you're gonna help me right?"

"If you want me to, yes."

She smiled,
"Okay, thanks." Rajah stood up,
"So what happens now exactly?"

"Who are you going to try to change your relationship with? That changes how this could go."

Her brows creased in confusion,
"With you. I thought that was clear?'

"I've gone through this kind of thing with other people, it's not usually me, sorry."

She felt her confusion rise,
"So you're not going to help me?"

"I will help you but it's going to be a new experience for me as well."

Rajah didn't react for a moment before grinning,
"Well at least it makes the two of us, "

"What exactly do you want to change?" Grayson questioned.

She thought for a moment, Rajah hadn't thought it through up past the point of asking,
"Uhm, I don't know exactly."

"You can think it through, I okay with most things." Ey explained.

"Then how about you suggest since this affects you as well."

"You already have a best friend don't you?"

Rajah nodded,
"Yes,"

"I don't really know the options you would be okay with."

She waved a hand dismissively, sitting back down,
"That's not a concern of mine, I just need suggestions."

"The only things I can really think of involve something like dating."

Rajah contemplated the fact for a moment before asking another question,
"Have you dated before?"

"Yeah, multiple times. People think I won the dating lottery because I'm pansexual and poly but they are definitely not right." Grayson replied.

She nodded slowly, Rajah had never fully understood the concept of relationships.
"So should we date?"

"I'm fine with it if you are, but I don't want to cross your boundaries."

Rajah simply shrugged,
"Okay," To her, dating was a mere title for a different relationship. She knew that more was included but wasn't used to many things relating to feelings,
"You're gonna let me know how it works right?"

"I can tell you but I might not be the best person to ask. I mainly just get a bit more physical when I'm dating and compliment the people." Grayson responded, it wasn't like they knew this very well.

Her nose wrinkled slightly,
"See, that doesn't sound so complicated. Why does everyone make a big deal out of it?"

"Because most people obsess over kissing and other parts of it? I really just like to hold hands and such."

She held out her hand for a diplomatic handshake,
"That's doable. So it's a deal?"

Grayson took her hand. "It's a deal."

Rajah grinned,
"Okay...so what exactly do we do now?"

"Do you have any boundaries I need to respect? I get very clingy when I date someone and I don't want to make you uncomfortable." Grayson explained.

She scratched her and thought for a moment before shrugging,
"I dunno, I've spent the past few centuries on my own..." Rajah grinned,
"You should be fine, plus we've been friends for some time."

Grayson smiled back. "That sounds good, tell me if you don't like something I do though."

Rajah gave a thumbs-up,
"Sure," She stretched for a moment,
"Are we supposed to like go places together now?"

"Most people do when they start to date but we don't have to. We could just stay at our dorms or less public spaces if you want."

She nodded slowly, thinking it over,
"That sounds good," Rajah clasped her hands together and her instrument and case faded into blue puffs of smoke,
"Ready to go?"

Grayson packed up his drum set and nodded. "Yes I am."

Rajah waited for him by the exit of the band room,

((wait to whose dorm? i dont think rajah has one yet lol))

(Grayson doesn't either. We could go somewhere else or one of us could make a dorm. I can't insert photos though.)

Grayson walked up to her. "Where to?" Ey asked.

((I can see if I can get a dorm for Rajah for them to go to.))

She smirked and stated simply,
"To my dorm."

(Okay, thanks)

"That sounds lovely."
