Layne Marie // Male // 17 // Fire Student // Respawn/winged // M: Skylar

The presence of a wolf was slightly startling but the emotion faded as the being shifted. The dark brown hair and vibrant blue eyes seemed slightly inviting but at the same time... they seemed young.

Layne finally shook his head lightly, waving one hand and rubbing the back of his neck. "Probably not," his words were loose and light, as if shrugging the matter off. "I'm new and all," Layne finally explained and added a faint laugh to his words. "Layne Marie, what's your name?"

This kid... was probably a good two--if not three--years younger than he was. It was... a little confusing at the least. It was why he had completely missed the fact that Skylar had already said his name.

He was just... confused.

Of course he was confused? It was his first day and not a whole lot had been explained to him. Layne had gotten this far by pretending like he belonged and hoping for the best. But, he'd at least give him the benefit of the doubt. Whatever words he might've had dried up as Skylar walked forward and set one hand on his shoulder.

Weird, but not the weirdest thing that has happened.

However, at the jolting shock that traveled through his palm and into the skin of his shoulder? Layne let out a sharp shout, leaping to his feet. The shock jerked his muscles, his entire shoulder twitching upward as he rubbed the spot. "Dude--? In what world was that the smartest thing to do?!"

His words held a strange venom to them, his sapphire eyes flashing with distaste. "Good grief, get away from me."

That kid was supposed to be some leader? By shocking and injuring others? Oh, yeah. A real treat he was. "Oh, sure," Layne grumbled, glaring after him. "Maybe a group leader should act better than whatever hazing attempt that was."

Layne shook his head, with a burst of frustration, grabbed his backpack and stalked back out the double doors. There was no way he was staying another minute with that kid. His wings itched... and the windows...

Layne glanced back briefly, then to the windows again, before deciding to pace through the hallways to find a way outside. It couldn't hurt to just fly around and let off some steam. It wasn't like he could actually... die.

Five minutes of wandering in one giant circle and he had ended up back at the same double doors. Oh how he wanted to just break something! The fire and the fuel in his system still boiled and bubbled like a simmering stew. It rolled his stomach into knots and sent his heart into his throat.

"Do yourself a favor and get out of my way," Layne snapped, surprisingly vicious. "I don't need you, clearly. Whatever group you're of? I'm not. Because you're no leader. Now piss off and leave me alone."

Layne adjusted his backpack over his shoulder and turned on his heel, stalking the other direction. "Because even if you threaten me," he glanced back, looking at the kid. "One of us will come back. It won't be you."

He continued forward, shaking feathers from his wings.
