What do I put here?

It was getting closer to winter most of the trees had gotten rid their leaves, some still clinging on to those last stubborn leaves. It was easy to see anyone who sat among the branches, though a certain winter didn't mind. Keira sat on a rather sturdy branch a good ways from the ground. She had her jacket pulled close around her as she sat up in the air. One hand was gloved while the other wasn't. The bare hand sat out in front of her her pointer finger stuck out from the fist. On her finger was an open cut, and from the cut a trail of blood danced. She always found manipulating her gift relaxing despite the fact that it could have been disgusting to others. She guess it was just a gentle reminder that this was real, and she was actually learning to control it.

Blake had began his morning by taking a nice long warm shower. He loved his daily routine, waking up early had it's own benefits such as seeing the sunrise and getting prepared. After 20 long minutes of being in the shower the blonde had headed towards his closet slipping on a plain grey sweater and adjusting his red tie. Blake had walked out of his room and towards the stairs and down the stairs, soon he had reached the first floor. Walking out of the dorms, Blake was hit with cold air and it felt refreshing the blonde had glanced up at the November skies, gently smiling.The first snows of the year were coming soon, and that meant Christmas also was coming soon in a matter of a few weeks. Blake had followed the path ways of fallen leafs and entered the forest.

The forest had looked quite dead, there were no leafs around and there werent any animals to be seen. It was probably due too the fact since they had too start preparing for a cold long winter. Blake hid felt bad for them, they weren't able too see the beautiful snow that fell from the skies during winter. Although at the same time he was slightly jealous, the animals practically slept throughout winter and for the ones that didn't hibernate they would migrate too warmer climates and see the world. Blake had leaned back on a tree, observing his surroundings although many people found it boring too just sit and look at nature, Blake had found it peaceful and calming too the mind. The intiate had been slightly surprised too see a girl sitting up in a tree branch, and xontrolling some sort of blood-stream.. Blake had figured that it was her gift. "How interesting.. you control blood I'm guessing?" The blonde had called towards her, hoping she wouldn't find it strange how Blake was just observing.

There was a reason why Griffin didn't enjoy the winter that much. Well, many reasons to be exact. First off, he hated being cold. Okay, scratch hated. He loathed being cold. The second reason --which was almost as important to him as the first reason-- was the fact that most of the plants were dormant. Those who were not dormant, were covered in snow. The blond did not want to go digging through mounds of snow just for a plant. Thus, Griffin had spent a lot of time within the conservatory. Yet he found himself wondering around the forest, fussing to himself about the now gone plant life that used to adorn the forest.

Surprisingly, he spotted two figures ahead through the bare trees. One sat up within a tree, while another watched the other student do something. As he approached, Griffin recognized the other girl as Keira. With a smile on his face, the Summer student picked up the pace. As he got close, Griffin gave a greeting to the two students with a wave of his hand. Although, he didn't say a word in case they were already in a conversation.

Keira was so focused on her blood that she didn't even notice the boy below. She got a little startled when the boy spoke up, causing the blood to fall to the ground. It was just a small amount of blood so it didn't really effect anything. She shifted on her branch, and sat up a bit, looking down at the boy below. "Oh yeah. That's my gift.." Her hands gripped the branch on either side of her.

She blinked when she saw another person walking towards them. It took her a moment to fully see who it was. A small smile appeared on her face. "Hey Griffin." She said lifting one hand and giving him a wave.

Using blood as a gift, that was something you didn't see everyday. The conversation had quickly died, her response wasn't too much and Blake didn't know how to respond instead of simply nodding. "Oh..." The blonde had glanced away and looked at the sky watching the clouds drift by, should Blake ask Keira too join her in cloud-watching? That was a little awkward, after all Blake didn't even know her name. The blonde had glanced over when Keira said hello too someone, another guy with blonde hair. Interesting, not trying too be rude the blonde had gave Griffin a small wave of his hand as well, noting that this would be a good time for him too introduce himself. "My name's Blake."

The newcomer's smile widened a fraction as Keira greeted him back. His blue eyes traveled towards the boy who was here before himself, noting his name so he didn't forget it. "Griffin." The Summer student replied kindly, dropping his hands to his jacket pockets. A rather brisk breeze sent Griffin to bury his nose into his scarf in an attempt to keep it warm.

Keira jumped down off the branch, landing in a squatting position with on hand touching the ground. The position allowed her to quickly stand. "My name's Keira." She stated to the boy she didn't already know. The girl stretched slightly to get the stiffness out of her back from sitting up in a tree for so long. The cut on her finger had sealed by now due to her gift. She looked over to Griffin. "How is the conservatory doing, Griffin? Sorry I haven't visited in a while." She said.

Keira huh? Blake had nodded not knowing how else to respond, normally too make things interesting he would tap into people's memories but he didn't want to do that to these two, they seemed nice. Yawning Blake had covered his mouth with his hand. Observing Griffin "Don't get along with the cold?" He asked casually since it was hardly cold at all, and the wind wasn't so bad. Blake had side glanced at Keira, hmm? was he a garden boy? "You like flowers?" He asked too both of them.

"Same old, same old." He waved his hand, dismissing any thought that the conservatory had changed. "Don't worry about it, I've still been busy on that same row." The blond shoved his hands back into his pockets, before shaking his head at Blake, an indication that it was a no. He did not get along well in the cold. Blue eyes traveled over to the blond before replying with his face buried into the scarf. "I guess you can say that. But it's not just flowers. I like other plants too."

"I'm a plant person to. I try to make a habit of stopping by the conservatory every once and a while. Especially for the Prim Roses. They are my favorite." Keira wasn't exactly dressed for the cold weather aside from wearing jeans and a jacket. Anytime she got too cold she would use her gift, and warm her blood up so that way she wasn't cold anymore. It was rather convenient for her. "What about you Blake? What do you like to do?"
