"Miss Mori, if you are finished playing we have an appointment with Mr. Arcobaleno." Emily's crisp tone cut into the conversation as she walked closer. She gave Sven and Leo a glance, then looked away, as if dismissing their existence. They weren't worth even a moment of her attention.

She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and continued. "He has some paperwork for us to finish. But perhaps you would like to explain to him that your lateness was caused due to your popularity with the boys at this school?"

That was a game?

She nearly had a heart attack, all for some ridiculous game?! Anya felt the blood rush to her face as she reached for her scabbard. If that strange boy wanted to play a game, she would certainly give him a game to remember.

Her shaking hand stopped at the hilt of her weapon however, her thoughts of vengeance interrupted by Emily's sudden entrance. The blonde as always had the most impeccable of timing.

"Ms. Pennington," the redhead said, bowing to greet her fellow Elite. In all honesty, she had actually forgotten that there was even an appointment with the Wiseman in the first place. But alas, if she was late, then she dared not waste a second more.

She rushed back to her thermos sitting on the bench, picked it up and turned around, making sure to give Sven a quick bow and Leo a stern glare before making to leave.

Leo considered Sven's question, then shrugged.

"No reason, in particular. Other than looking around to get to know the place better." The dark-skinned boy said with a cheery smile "Leo is…"

Leo stopped as a blonde-haired girl made her approach. The hair on the back of his neck stood up on end. His expression changed from one of carefree happiness to an intense nervousness. There was something not right about this girl. She made him feel like he was in the presence of a monster.

Leo glared up at Emily transfixed with fear, as Anya collected her things.
He slowly looked up at the redhead as she glared down at him. Was she a friend of this blond headed monster? His gold eyes and body language clearly showed his unease, as he looked between the two of them.

Sven didn't catch onto the same vibes from Emily that everyone else did. Maybe it was all the metal in his head that made it hard for him to read her intentions, or maybe he just didn't care. The only thing he wanted to know was how to get into the Elite, and Emily was the one with the answers.

"You mentioned me getting into the Elite earlier, didn't you?" he asked. "What was that all about? You guys really need someone else to knock a few heads around?"

After all, Sven had always figured they found the people they needed without having to rely on volunteers.

Emily gave Sven a disinterested look, like a lion might give to a mouse after its already eaten. "Hmm? Ah, you again. I simply said you have some vaguely impressive talents. Talk to Mr. Lazriel, he can see if you're the right stuff to join." She turned her back on him, then began to walk away.

"It's not as if you're special or anything. You might simply be of use to me some day. That's why I suggested it. We could always use more human shields." She glanced at him over her shoulder. "Does that make you angry? Upset? Humiliated? Do you hate me?" Her voice remained calm, dispassionate, as if she was trying to egg him on with her cool demeanor.

"I don't have a problem with that," Sven replied with a smirk. "Use me as a shield for all I care, I just want to throw my weight around and see what I can do. Hate has nothing to do with any of that."

Even as cool as he was trying to play the situation, Sven could feel his body starting to tense. He wasn't angry per se... It was more of the will to meet a challenge, to take this Emily girl head-on, and find where the limit was. He could tell she would be a challenge, unlike so many of the other students at the academy.

"..." Emily stared at the boy for some time, then smiled. She tossed a business card at him, then turned back to keep walking. "We'll be in touch. That will get you to a proper recruiter for the Elite. Tell them I sent you. After that...We'll see if my employer has any use for you."

She glanced at Anya sharply. "Hurry up. Wiseman Sigma does not like to be kept waiting." She smirked to herself slightly. Things were starting to get interesting...

Leo listened to Emily's jive. He was liking this girl less and less. She seemed cold, heartless, and evil. And this Sven character didn't seem much better.

He wasn't sure as to what the Elite were, but if the blonde girl was a part of it, and Mr. Spiky Hair wanted to be a part of it. Leo wanted nothing to do with it.

Leo slowly got to his feet. He no longer appreciated the company, he had found himself in.

Anya frowned as Emily hurried her to move along. It wasn't like she was the one wasting time discussing Elite recruitment with Sven. And hadn't she already given the strange-haired boy a number to call? The fact that her previous offerings of advice had been completely ignored only added to the frustration.

In addition to her mind still trying to calm itself down from the collared-boy's little stunt, as well as the air of tension that seemed to have risen since the blonde's arrival, Anya stood her ground, unsure of what to do or who to blame for the unsettling fire boiling within her.

Without thinking she reached out, intercepting the business card that had been thrown in Sven's direction.

"Thank you, Ms. Pennington," she said, doing her best to keep her voice flat in order to mask her annoyance. "But I have already given Mr. Sven the information he needs for his goal."

She kept her stare sharp, green eyes locked forward with an ember of ferocity behind them. Perhaps unwittingly, the lion had wandered into the territory of the tiger.

Oh, what was this? Was there a little bit of a rivalry going on here, maybe a chance for a cat fight? Now that would be interesting although he had to admit these two didn't seem like the type to drag each other to the floor.

"I didn't mean any offense," he assured Anya. "I just figured I should ask the lady who brought it up first. That's all." Then he smiled, an expression which didn't come close to reaching his eyes. "Besides, two recommendations are always better than one."

With that, Sven turned around and started walking back towards his dorm hall. "I'll see you guys around."
