Left to Chance

Renard lazed around on the lounge room's couch, his head lolled back and his eyes closed. A singular die rolled around in his hand as he sat there bored, not much to do once any schoolwork was done. As he opened his palms and tossed the die back and forth, he wondered where Emily was. He hoped he would get to see her soon; there wasn't a better feeling the school could give him than to see her smile. Meanwhile, he would just lay here a bit more, to relax.

Emily skipped silently into the school lounge, her hair pulled up into a high ponytail behind her. It took herself a moment to focus on the area she had just walked in; her mind seemed elsewhere. Her eyes wandered about the lounge, lighting up when they finally settled onto Renard where he laid on the couch. A smile found it's way on Emily's face as she walked over to where he was at. "Hey Renard.." she said softly to him.

Renard glanced up at the sound of his name to see Emily standing above him. "Oh hey Emily," he replied, smiling as he sat up and patted the cushion next to him. "Care to sit down?" At least he wouldn't be bored anymore now that she was here.

Emily nodded slightly, walking over and sitting beside him on the couch. "What have you been up to?"Emily asked him, crossing her feet underneath her. Her eyes glanced up at Renard, watching him shyly.

"Besides my schoolwork? Nothing, honestly." He laughed softly at just how inactive he had been; practicing his powers had even become a secondary concern. "What's been going on with you?" While they were talking, Renard absentmindedly returned to flicking the die from one hand to the other.
