Fox sat alone as the airship left Vale for Beacon. He was trying to comprehend the mess of students loudly talking, not really caring but bored. 'Damned broken headphones.' He had thought when he boarded the ship.
Everyone seemed to be talking about what would happen when they got there, but he couldn't have cared less. It would happen when it did. Had any of them asked him what he thought, Fox didn't plan on being very PG. The sound of an individual sitting next to him turned his mind from profanity to curiosity.
"Hello?" He asked staring in their direction.
What he got in response was a nervous, "Hi." From a girl with an Eastern Vale accent.
"East Vale, I take it?" He asked, trying to make conversation.
"Uh-huh.." Was the reply, the girl mumbling.
Fox, sensing that he must have been bothering her, turned and pretended to stare at a wall. He heard something else which sounded like… clicking?
'Ohhh, high heels.' He thought as a possible reasoning for the sound, not bothering to look for its source. Soon enough, the clicking stopped.
"Gonna stare all day?" came a feminine voice, less like the girl was upset but more like she was fairly proud with herself.
Fox could tell it was directed at him, given the sound was coming from in front of him. "Sorry." He said shortly and laid back in the seat, looking upwards.
"Don't be sorry, nice to see SOMEONE has an eye for the fashionable."
'Eye for the fashionable? Ha!' He laughed into his mind at the irony and let a grin and a short chuckle escape.
The girl noted this but shrugged it off, Fox hearing the distinct clicking of what he assumed to be her heels walk away.
Soon afterwards, he felt the airship land and got up. Stretching out his arms, he waited for the rest of the people to walk out ahead of him. Walking off, he bumped into a rather large student.
"Sorry." Both of them said at the same time. Fox noted that he spoke with an accent he wasn't familiar with. 'Probably from somewhere near Vacuo, i'd wager.'
"It was my fault, sorry, I can't exactly see where I'm going." Fox explained.
"Blind?"
"Yeah. Hey, if it isn't too much trouble, mind if I hang around you until we get to where we need to. I don't have a feel for the layout here." He asked the large man, hoping he wasn't an asshole towards blind guys.
"It's no trouble. Wouldn't hurt to have someone to talk to. I'm Yatsuhashi, but Yatsu is fine as well." He replied, Fox mentally sighing in relief. 'So not a dick. That's good.'
"Nice to meet you, Yatsu. The name's Fox."
The two began to walk around, Fox using Yatsu's heavy steps as a guidelines for where to walk.
"So, Yatsu, where are you from?" Fox asked, passing the time.
"I come from a small village in Vytal, lots of good people. How about you?"
"Oh, I'm from Vacuo, the capital. I wasn't too fond of Shade academy so I decided to come here. Plus, Shade didn't have much Braille over there."
"I can see the issue there. Beacon was seen as the greatest of the four major academies back home, so it was an obvious decision to my family."
"Cool. So, i take it you're a large fellow?"
Yatsu had a short laugh, "I guess even blind people can know I'm giant."
"Well, your voice sounds a good foot higher away, if that makes sense. Plus I did bump into you."
"Aye. I'm 7 feet tall, only my mother was taller than me back home." Yatsuhashi replied, matter-of-factly.
"Interesting. Do you get plenty of 'how's the weather up there' questions?"
"Probably as much as you'd expect. If it's all for a good laugh, I see no issue."
Fox nodded and listened slightly to the environment. Lots of people running around and chatting, mostly nonsense.
He wondered what the next four years of his life would be like, though he figured it would all pan out more once the first week was done.
"Will all first year students please report to the Main Hall." Came an announcement from the academies loud speakers.
"Let's get this show on the road." Said Fox as he and Yatsu began walking towards the main hall.
