Awaking with a start, the beast lashes out with his claws and a singular blade that was 'hidden' within the bed, just stopping short as his eyes focus upon that which had awakend him. eyeing Scarlet, Braxius shifts back into his human form, the knife blade still clutched within his hand. Scarlet visibly gulps as she remaines perfectly still. Relaxing some he lowers the weapon and sighs, "Sorry...." he breathes as he folds the knife up and slips it into the back pocket of his jeans.

"Its alright...um..have you checked the time?" she inquires as he points to the clock. Glancing at the time, Braxius roars as he jumps out of bed and grabs his pack, leaving a slight dent in the wall next to the doorframe as he punches it. Opening the door, mourning light floods the cavern. Scarlet hisses and shrinks back from the door, seeking refuge under her blanket.

"Sorry, I forgot..." he says apologeticly, Vampires..... he thinks to himself as he checks his keys and heads out the opening, "I'm ******** late...." shifting yet again he spreads his wings as he exits the apartment complex. Glancing about he crouches low to the ground, then leaps skyward. At the smae instant he gives a single great flap of his open wings, the effect rocketing him out of the courtyard and into the open air. Catching an easternly wind current he rides it as swift as possible, banking hard as he tries to avoid powrelines in an effort to get to class. Spieing High Tech from above he wheels in the air, then angles upward, climing higher by twenty feet or so. Arcing in mid air he then plummits strrait towards the ground, floding his wings tight against his body as he preforms the controlled fall. ten feet from impact he suddenly opens his wings once again, pulling several G's as he straitens and lands. With his heart racing he touches asphalt and hurries towards the glass doors of the collage building. Cheking the wall clock he frowns visible as he notes that it is now 8:00 am, I'm an hour late...damn..there goes my probation..... he thinks as he yanks open the door to the class and hurries to his seat. Having missed most of lecture he settles in at the computer and logs in. Trying to listen and understand what the insructor was saying he open the internet and begins to surf the web before finally settling into an online RPG. downsizing the net he pulls open another document in a seperate window and begins working on a seperate project.

Once the instructor stops speaking, Braxius glances at the time and sighs as he opens yet another window and makes it look like he is doing class work. For the next four hours he continues this dance, switching between each window as he needs, and occasionally opening a new one for another purpose. Finally the instructor dismisses the class for the day and he logs out, having accomplished a little more then nothing. gasthering his thens he checks another clock, the gears in his head turning as he remebers what a doctor had once said about him having a tick. Leaving he wanders over to the media center and takes a seat at yet another computer. After logging in again he pulls up the net once more. Visiting all his favorite online comic sites he glances yet again at a clock, 12:20. Getting off the computer he head sout to the bike rack of the school and leans against the lip of one of the concrete table tops. Looking about at all the faces present, then at the bike he notes that she has yet to show up. Dleving into his bagpack he pulls out a set of headphones. Turning on the cdplayer he hits play and turns up the volume to max. As the sound of heavy metal blasts away in his ears he lets his mind wander, constructing an elaborate animation within the confines of his immagination, taking note of details. Felling a tap against his shin, he opens his eyes and sees Scarlet standing before him. Smiling he takes off the headphines, letting the music continue to play, the sound breaking the silence as the lyrics to the song fill the air.

"How late were you?"

"About an hour, give or take..I didn't really check the clock this mourning as I left...."

"How many hours is your probation again?"

"10..and I have used 9 of it already....." He bows his head as he says this, a grimace crossing his visage as he adds the time together. Scarlet only shakes her head as she locks up her bike and hugs him.

"Don't worry...atleast it is your birthday and you get to see Tigra..." he says in an attempt to cheer him up.

Braxius smiles slightly as he rembers the time that his mate will be getting into town, "Aye, that reminds me...I talked to her on the net and she is fairly excited about it...she plans on teasing the hell out of me before the night is over..and she has already started by telling me what she plans on wearing......." he says, a smug grin upon his lips as he rembers her e-mail she sent. Shaking his head, his blond brown hair falling in his face as he does so. Scarlet laughs and hands him a rubberband. Taking it he pulls his long hair back into a que and ties it off, "Well I had better get going and meet her at the station, I'll see you after class..oh, and wheres Rimmer?" he inqures, barely catching his breath.

"He's at the apartment..he refused to wake up this mourning..."

"Well I wonder why? I heard you two last night..." he shakes his head again, "You need to learn to be more quiet..."

Scarlet blushes the color of her namesake, "Well talk to Rimmer, he started it! Besides, I tried to be quiet, i had to bite him again in order to do so...."

Braxius laughs and waves her by as he begins to walk out to the bus stop located just across the street, his mind switching from last night to the events that were about to unfold and the memory of his mate. Checking the time on his cell he sighs and picks up the pace as he crosses the street. Looking back he sees the bus and pulls some change from his pocket. Boarding he pays the fare and collects a transfer pass. Standing in the isle as it takes off again, he counts the street and the minutes till 2:20, anxiety and anticipation gripping him like a steel vice.

About an hour later he finally reaches the Greyhound station. Checking the bus routs he notes that the one from Flagstaff had just pulled in. Walking over to the arrival gate he sets down his chool pack and studies the faces of thos that enter throught the double doors. A smile breaks out upon his face as he notices the twitch of ears and the curl of a tail. Seeing the feline get off he stands there watching her till she finally notices him. Smiling the cat grabs her bag and runs over to him, dropping her things and taking flight to pounce him as she get within five feet. catching her in midair he draws the cat in close, giving her a quick kiss then embraces her in a hug, " 'Ello Love........"
