Lucian had put a lot of work in to be where he was at right now. He'd had to find the nearest pack of werewolves, and had begged for a registration packet. While he hadn't liked the idea of being surrounded by vampires and other werewolves, Teddy had been dropping weight and his health was declining, and Lucian would be damned if he wasn't going to do his best to make sure Teddy was always in good health. He'd tried working odd jobs, but they never paid enough for Lucian's insatiable cravings for raw, red meat. Teddy had had to do a little getting used to raw meat, but he never seemed to complain. Or rather, Lucian didn't think he would complain if he could. The pair were just happy to be together.
People gave a wide berth to the duo, at least, most of them did. Apparently stereotypes carried into transformations, vampire and werewolf alike. Teddy really wasn't very unfriendly, but he did reflect Lucian's mood. Lucian didn't really think that he would attack anyone, Teddy was mostly bark and no bite.
Teddy had been about a year old when he was rescued from a dog fighting ring. That was the main reason why Lucian never thought that Teddy would attack anyone. After years of being forced to fight for a human's sick pleasure, it seemed he never wanted to have to fight anyone or anything again. Lucian planned on keeping it that way.
"Name and registration packet?"
"Um, Lucian Kylliss." When asked, Lucian fished into his briefcase to get his registration packet, not even bothering to ask if he could set his briefcase on the lady's desk. She frowned slightly, but said nothing, before Lucian had handed over his registration packet to her. She leafed through it, but by that time Lucian was already following the swarm of kids into the assembly room, looking on at the presentation with an unamused expression. Knowing Lucian, he'd probably forget the names within a couple hours, and would have to ask again. He simply couldn't remember names for the life of him. Most of the time, he didn't bother asking what the person's name was, not out of haughtiness, but out of anxiety, believe it or not. Most of the time, he just waited for someone else to use their name.
Teddy was getting antsy by the time they finished talking, so he was glad to have an excuse to get moving. Grabbing Teddy's leash, he unhooked it from the collar to let him get some exercise. The big pitbull would race down the hall, and then back to where Lucian was. For that reason, they decided to take the halls that looked like there weren't many people using. Didn't need to get into trouble on their first day.
When they got to their dorm, number 438, Lucian almost felt like he should knock. He didn't feel like this was where he lived, everything just felt so foreign to him. He decided not to knock, but turn the door slowly so the person would know he was coming in. He had no intention of surprising anyone. He ruffled his fingers through his hair as he stood in the doorway. There were two beds, the left one appearing to be claimed by a pale haired, blue eyed girl.
"Ah, hey. I guess we're roommates." Lucian wasn't big on the whole social aspect of life, but he did want to make a good first impression. That meant not being mean or letting Teddy terrorize his new roomie. Speaking of which, he directed Teddy to the side of his bed, keeping him there with a
"Stay".
"I'm Lucian Kylliss, by the way. You must be?"
