Salenne's point of view

Salenne woke up to a tapping sound. "PB if that's you." Groaning she got up, following the sound. Opening the window she found a owl. It stared at her with big round eyes. It looked at her making it's whole head moved. "Your a meak looking thing aren't you." It's eyes blink one at a time. "Get ready we are training today." Taken aback she glared at it. "Well don't just stand there. Get ready." It continued. "We have the day off I'm not training." Salenne rolled her eyes, her hair getting in her face. "Your my buddy I'm not going to be held back because your weak." Salenne stared down Klaus's owl. "I'll get on it." She closed the window, walking back to bed. After a few minutes the tapping resumed. She rummage through her bag and got out a paper bag. Opening the window she placed it on the owl's head. "Did you cover it's head with a bag?" Salenne gave smirk. Her roommate laughed.

"Damn it." Klaus cursed from the next room. Areto got the tea and placed it on the tray. Heading out of their room he placed the tray on the desk. "Here is your tea, Master. Along with cookies." Klaus glanced up, looking at the tea he released a sigh. "Thank you, Areto." Klaus took a cookie, he poured the tea and put the cup on the desk. "I'll get headache medication while in town today." Finishing off the cookie Klaus took a sip of tea. "It's alright. I'm fine." Taking a seat Klaus put on his glasses he got set to work. "Are you sure? You have been rubbing your head alot lately."

"Yes I'm quite alright." he said. "Have you thought about decreasing your in take of sugar?" Klaus glared at him like a child. "It was just a thought." Leaving the office Areto headed to morning meal. Making a mental list of what he needed to take and buy, he put his hands on his pockets. "I've been looking for you." Areto turned around. "Well you found me now what?" Vincent his red hair pulled up from his dark red eyes. Standing on his toes grabbing Vincent's shirt, Areto pulled him down to a kiss. With his shirt already half open Areto ran his hands over Vincent's chest. "What are you doing here? Thought you weren't coming back till later in the year." Vincent rubbed his nose on Areto's forehead, placing a light kiss. "Is there somewhere we can talk, privately." Taking his hand Areto led him to hidden gazebo off to the side. Tucked away from the main path hidden by bushes. They sat at the table sitting next to each other. Taking a breath Vincent button up his shirt. "What did you want to talk about?" Areto asked. "I'm here for the time being, but-" Vincent was interrupted by man with dark hair and black eyes. Areto turned pale as the man greeted them. "I'm Onyx Sacyah, and you are?" Vincent's tattoo started to glow, putting Areto behind him. "I see you have been busy, pet. Now come to me, now." Onyx commanded. The flowers on his upper body grew and shrank has his body shifted. "I'm Vincent Mantell. Inquisitor to the Ministry of Magic. What is your business on academy grounds?" Areto grabbed Vincent's clothes. "My business is none of yours. Especially with my slave. I still have his pedigree papers, and the lead to his collar. Now get out of my way." Vincent didn't move. "Pedigree papers, collar. What are you talking about. Slavery doesn't exist anymore. It died with the old families 40 years ago." Summing a fireball to his hand he placed Areto closer to his back to keep him calm. Trembling Areto moved closer wrapping his arms around Vincent's waist. "It didn't die it just became difficult to continue. If you look at Areto's back on his shoulder blade. You'll see his breeder mark and the house he belongs to." Onyx crossed his arms, seeing he won. Vincent eyes went wide, the fireball I'm his hand dieing out. "My master is House Goldstein. They set me free upon my entrance to the academy. I'm no longer a slave." Areto said with his nails digging into Vincent's skin. "They had no right to do that, you're not theirs. I'm your master!" Onyx yelled. "Then maybe you should take it up with them then." Storming off Onyx left "Don't get too attached!" Turning around Vincent pulled Areto to his chest. "I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you but I didn't know how. I'm sorry." Rubbing little circles on his back Vincent kissed the top of his head. "Shhh. It's ok Areto. Clam down." Pulling away Vincent wipped the tears off Areto's face. Guiding him to the sets he put Areto in his lap, continuing to rub his back they sat there till Areto stopped crying. "I understand if you leave. I know I'm just a curiosity." He said wiping his face off. "No your not a curiosity your so much more to me then that." Vincent lend in brushing his lips against Aretos. A soft kiss ment to comfort and soothe his arms protecting him better than any sheild.
