Varin was texting his friends, Nero and Auric, when Davy had poked his head into the dorms, noticed him already there, cursed and slipped off elsewhere.
Say, mind if I go see what my new partner's up to? He's acting all sneaky and his eyes have turned from green to yellow, he sent.
Auric was quick to reply. Must you?
Nero's came a few moments later. Go for it. You're the leader, right? You should know their secrets.
Varin smirked. Play time! :-D
Davy was craving.
He had to get a fix, but if anyone knew of his needs, who knows how they'd react. He just had to get somewhere secluded and unused, and then he could light up all he wanted. He would have done it in his own dorm, but Varin was there texting who-knows-who on his personal scroll.
Poking his head into the gym, Davy fervently scanned the area and listened for people already there. Thankfully, the only person he could hear was all the way off to one side, so he could slip into the changing rooms and ignite there. It helped that he'd worn his slippers here so he could sneak quieter than normal.
Unfortunately, he was off on the headcount by one.
"Hey Davy. Whatcha up to?"
He almost leapt out of his shirt with fright. Navy was right behind him, and he hadn't even heard him!
"Oh, uh… Hey there. Didn't see you there," he managed to squeeze out.
Navy rolled his eyes. "So? Whatcha doing here in the gym? Doesn't look to be anything… clean, if you catch my drift." At Davy's fearful look, he added, "Look, if it's any consolation, you don't seem like the kind of guy I'd care to blackmail."
That just confirmed Davy's suspicions: Navy was an asshole and not to be trusted with his secret. Thankfully, a quick glance at the clock gave him a convenient escape ticket.
"Say, didn't History of Vale start ten minutes ago?"
At first, Navy was bemused. "So? History isn't my favourite subject."
"Funny," chuckled Davy, "because didn't you want to suck up to Professor Valkyrie? You know, the hammer-wiel-"
"JICK!" And with that, Navy was running to class as fast as his legs could carry his bulk. Davy allowed himself a few giggles, before slipping into the gym proper and creeping over to the changing rooms.
Varin chuckled to himself as Navy ran past him, heading for class. He hadn't taken him for the type to suck up to teachers, but this was likely a special case. Everyone had them, even Varin himself.
As Davy slipped into the changing rooms, Varin used his Illusion semblance to cloak himself and slip in right behind, without him seeing or hearing. Leaping over to the toilets, he dropped into a cubicle from above and prepared to eavesdrop.
He was certainly not expecting Davy to take out a green Dust crystal and waste it on a little breeze.
Or for his eyes to slide from yellow to green to cyan.
Dustomania? Oh, you have got to be jicking me.
