Sneaking Around [Open]

Eryn peaked around the corner, spying on the students in their argument. Swimming hours weren't open, this prohibition being for their own safety. For anyone to be in here, let alone students, was against school policy. She pursed her lips before coming out of hiding, her tanned hands balled into fists. "What are you two doing here so early?" Her soft, deep voice resonated in the dim-lit room.

Magaskawee grinned a bit at Tep, knowing even though she looked completely human, she was still part Dragon, and one that came from incredibly heavy. She wouldn't hurt him, that's not exactly fitting into the role of human, not the role she wanted. But there was nothing wrong with self defense if it came to that, or a little picking on...She turned toward the voice, a little surprised, but she tried not to show it. Fitting in didn't completely erase her training. "I come early to swim laps," she explained. She wasn't dressed like she was lounging around, so she hoped she'd be seen as serious rather than just fooling around. "Because of my tattoo," she continued. "People stare." she shrugged a bit. "I usually cover it with makeup, but I don't have water-proof foundation. People stare and ask questions so I come early." She glanced backward at Tep. Perhaps time to win him back over? "Tep comes with me usually, we look out for each other, since nobody else is around."

Eryn stared at them for a few moments longer, analyzing their body movements carefully, before speaking. It was a complete lie, she could see it on their faces, but if they were willing to try and get each other out of this situation, they couldn't be terrible students. "I see. Sneaking in here before hours is still not permitted, however I am willing to let you both slide just this once." She glanced to the side, making a mental note not to include this in the weekly reports to the headmaster. Zenith knew well that she didn't enforce punishments very often and shamed her for it at meetings. "You there, Grace? I am one of Wisteria's healers. I could help you find a way to cover up the tattoo or remove it, if you desire." The well-being of her students was Eryn's first priority, especially for ones who didn't feel comfortable with themselves.
