Two years. Two whole years in this place and Viola hadn't been able to convince the idiots that run the dump to let her transfer to the right college. Ugh. Was it not obvious to everyone else that she belonged in the College of Physicality? Really? She could easily take out half of the people in that gym, whether professor or student. It just wasn't fair.
Viola had grown an already existing tree outside one of the gymnasiums in a way that would allow someone to climb up pretty easily and lounge on the top. It was certainly a strange and unnatural construction, but not uncomfortable. Inside the gym, the students were mostly flying around. Some were more skilled than others, and it was evident that flight was not the only power for some of them. Viola belonged in there, not scowling from outside the window. So what if she didn't have the power of flight? She'd like to see them fly in a shadow-saturated room filled with trees. Viola would have no trouble navigating that.

 words: 469 | Notes: Hope ya don't mind me hopping in |
Devon walked out of the gym, gently closing the door behind him as he adjusted his glasses. The place was getting a tad bit crowded for his tastes. People flying around as he tried to work out in minor silence was nearly impossible considering this was one of the bigger colleges in the area. Then again, the fact he’d been working out in the morning till the afternoon was decent enough until the crowds started coming in. By then, Devon usually tried to keep his transformation up since he didn’t feel like being bothered. No one would bother a lightly intimidating dragon, right? Wrong. Sadly, it attracted some attention from the rowdy freshmen in the gym that wanted to see what was up with him since mythical creatures weren’t exactly common on school grounds. One of them had even tried stepping on his tail which was the last straw for him. He simply left in a huff, his tail smacking the poor guy.
Still in his transformed state, the eastern dragon sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he adjusted his hoodie and flipped it over, his horns poking out of the material with most of his face obscured. Maybe a good nap in the sun would be a good idea until his next class. As he wandered around, something caught his attention. He’d noticed a small tree growing here when he’d arrived at the gym this morning, but here it was, fully grown and looming over the building.
“Huh…guess someone must have made it. Doesn’t exactly match with the other ones.” He rumbled.
The thought made him curious. He hadn’t seen anyone else with the same element as him since this place was more physical orientated, but maybe this was a chance to actually talk to someone? His tail curled around his leg at the thought. The two years he’d been here, his academic life had been more than okay, but his social life was slightly tanking. Not many people knew him other than people in his classes, and even then he was slightly unknown. Maybe he could change that?
The tree didn’t seem too big to scale, anyways. If someone was up there, they’d be easy to spot. He scanned through the leaves, yellow green eyes darting about before he found that there was actually someone lounging up there. With a grunt, Devon simply jumped, kicking off the occasional branch of the tree or the actual bark itself until he arrived right near the mysterious person with a grunt and a low rumble. With his hood still obscuring his head, they’d see nothing but a hidden head with his whiskers dangling out, wooden horns, furred, brutish hands as he wore his usual green hoodie, tree trunk thick tail curling around the tree branch for support.
“Um…hi. Nice tree you made.”
It was stupid, but it was a start, right?

 Viola had made the top layer of the tree dense with leaves so as to make a sort of bed or floor--a platform. It was perfect for laying on, and she had been enjoying the sun. That is, until someone started violently shaking her tree. She was standing in an instant, glaring down to see who was doing it. She had made the thing purposefully easy to climb--how else was she supposed to get up here?--yet there was some brute jumping all around it and ruining bits of the precious plant. By the time he reached the top with a dumb greeting, Viola was in full attack mode. She didn't want him here, she didn't invite him. How arrogant was this idiot to mess with Nightshade? The shadows around her feet were unnaturally dark and vines from a flowering plant around her neck were moving about, making it clear she was just waiting for a reason to attack. It had been a while since Viola had been in a good fight. This would be fun. "The hell do you think you're doing?"

It seemed his first apparent greeting didn't go all too well. As soon as he arrived on the grass like platform on top of the tree, whomever was up there was incredibly agressive. A young lady with flowing red hair glared at him almost like he'd stepped on her loved one's grave or something. The dragon shifter blinked in surprise, merely staring at her with a blank look for a few moments under his hood. Did he possibly interrupt some private time?
He simply continued staring as she shifted about. Or rather, some parts of her shifted about as his eyes were focused on the shadows around her feet squirming about. The sounds of leaves rustling along with the minor sound of something dragging across skin caught his attenton. Up at close range, those hidden ears could pick up a lot of things that the average human wouldn't have been able to sense. It also helped being nature attuned.
Devon stayed quiet until after she asked what he was doing here and stammered a bit. "U-um, just wanted to say hi...I noticed this tree wasn't here before so I figured I may as well throw a compliment?" he finished, scratching one of his wooden horns with those burly green clawed hands of his. The budding plant around the lady's neck didn't help the situation either as some vines snaked about. Well, his assumption about her sharing the same abilities was correct, he just didn't expect her to be so abrasive at the start.
Devon kept his perch as if he was a bird, his tail unrolling from the tree branch and swishing around slowly. While he really didn't mean to do anything, the fact that she seemed to be looking for any reason to lash out made him on edge. "So...what's your name? Don't think I've seen you around these parts."

Private time? If Viola wanted to have someone with her, believe me, she would. If she wanted to be alone? Let's just say it wasn't the best time for some obnoxious stranger to come bother her. "Nice tree? Thanks for scarring it, then." The circle of darkened shadows grew around Viola as she started to walk. "What a stupid brute you are." As she walked, vine-like branches wrapped around Viola's ankles and pushed her up, eventually making her height level with her visitor's as they moved her forward. The branches and leaves seemed to be a darker color than the rest on the tree, and not just because of the whipping darkness the girl was creating. "The name's Nightshade. Now get off my tree before I throw you off." All the razzle dazzle was really just for show, and Viola was being unnecessarily rude to this strange man. It was almost as if she were provoking him on purpose.
