Who: Rhys & Mia. Possible interferences.
What: It's Rhys' turn to give a tour. I hope he doesn't get lost. 70% chance of success.
Where: Round and round campus we go! Where we stop, nobody knows!
When: Backdated to... December 12th. Afternoon!
Warnings: HARDCORE SEX, FIGHTING, AND A MIXTURE OF THE TWO DOOP DOOP no warnings here. Or maybe there should be but we haven't realized it yet.

Today was a perfect day for a tour, sans the biting cold air, of course. Rhys made sure to put on extra layers to combat the uncomfortable chill of late autumn. It was quite the pleasant shock to find Mia in this very school. He dwelt often in thoughts surrounding his dear friends back home, so she was a welcome addition. Never mind how much she tended to overwhelm him at times- he was used to all that. Now he was about to remind himself how it felt to be in her presence once again.

Hopefully she would be home. He knocked on her door and waited for signs of life stirring inside the apartment.

Well, she certainly was pushing the point. He wasn't even allowed to ask her opinion...? Oh well. It wasn't that big of a matter. Rhys set their direction towards the main campus. "Alright. That's where we'll go first. Have you heard where you'll be teaching yet?" he asked, mostly curious about the location of Mia's classroom and what it must look like.

Mia blinked, her feet shuffling along as they walked. "Completely slipped my mind. Guess I should go find out when we're done. This all still feels really new to me." She laughed. "You'll show me where you're teaching at, right?"

His grin touched up a little more. "Of course! My classroom isn't anything special, just a bit of a heads-up, but nonetheless, I will make sure I show it to you."

Rhys had to mention to Mia how nice he thought the fountain that lay in the direct hub of all the pathways looked there. It wasn't long at all before they arrived at the steps of the grand structure erected near the center of Smash Academy. "Isn't it beautiful?" he marveled. "I'm sure the scenery looks even more fantastic during the spring, when all the trees start to flower." His eyes were lost to the gaping white winterland splayed about the campus before them, as though enraptured by a new vision. A puff of breath drifted into the cold air and vanished.

"Great!" To her it didn't matter much what it looked like as long as it served it's purpose. More important to her was just knowing where it was.

She followed his gaze to the fountain and her eyes widened happily. "It is." Mia said, nodding enthusiastically. "But I dunno, I think it's really pretty all covered in snow." Then again, Mia was the type who didn't have a favorite season. "Each season has it's own form of beauty, don't you think? Still, I suppose I do look forward to seeing it in spring." It would be a wonderful place for sparring, she thought, but on this, she didn't ask Rhys if he agreed, knowing full well that he wasn't all that fond of that kind of talk.

"Oh, most definitely," Rhys approved with a stroke of exuberance. After a short pause, he said, "Let's go in, shall we?"

He guided Mia to the doors and halted to pry one of them open. The handle was reluctant to comply at first and barely budged a few inches at Rhys' attempt, so he had to try again with a bit more strain. "Ah..." Slightly embarrassed by this miniature fiasco, he laughed sheepishly and tried to keep it open for her.
