You're content to just hang back, amble behind the two who were excitedly (albeit awkwardly) chatting. As Aphmau gestures with her left hand eyes shining as she talks about some club that had caught her interest you allow yourself to truly look around. Not too far ahead on the left is a more petite stand. Instead of the commonly used banner it instead utilized an almost cottagecore-esque cloth awning. If you focused just enough a hint of decadent and rich chocolate permeated the air. Surprisingly easy you spot chartreuse ears, seems like Daneil was sticking with joining the cooking club, how cute. Before he can notice you staring something else catches your attention.

The stereotypical smiling and frowning masks surrounded by the outline of flowing ribbons, bingo- theatre. There's a white haired male werewolf with smoky colored ears, and a rather fluffy looking tail behind the booth. He's gesturing wildly with his hands to a calico eared meif'wa who simply rolls their yellow eyes fondly at him. The werewolf's eyes are focused entirely on the meif'wa, you can see the way he has one of his hands interlocked with theirs, you also catch his tail wagging in excitement. Good for them, getting a boyfriend that's utterly obsessed with them.

The meif'wa, true to their species heightened instincts, seems to notice your blatant staring, as their yellow eyes catch your peeping ones. They smile at you, fanged teeth poking from behind their lips in a surprisingly inviting smile. The male tips a smoky ear in curiosity the moment the meif'wa looks away from him, before he peeked towards you. They both are mirroring inviting expressions, the werewolf more exuberant with his motions, and you do go to take a step forward. However, you're interrupted by Travis.

"You're interested in theatre too?" Oh yeah, you might've forgotten he was a self-proclaimed theatre aficionado. Sending him an affirming smile, you already begin to walk towards the (what you assumed to be) werewolf- meif'wa couple. Aphmau calls out wishing luck to the both of you as Travis trails behind.

The calico eared meif'wa and the werewolf beside them are already leaning over the stall of the vendor-like stand. They offer you and Travis a sly grin, and the werewolf seems to be vibrating in excitement. The meif'wa is twirling one tightly woven braid around their finger, their digits covered in a plethora of handmade rings, their head tilts, and their afro puffs seem to bounce slightly.

"Why hi there freshies," there is a breathiness to their tone, as if they were constantly on the cusp of humming. Their pronunciation, while slightly slurred due to an accent of some sort, still came off as charming and pleasant to listen to. Cheshire grin growing, their yellow eyes slide over to the werewolf at their side, who seemed to be waiting in tense excitement.

"Yeah! Hello freshman!" The pure joy in his statement is infectious, and you're pretty sure he's bouncing on the balls of his feet.

"My name is Reese, and in case you can't tell I'm a werewolf. My main role in the program is being a director, love theatre but the whole acting thing is just not my jam. I'm a senior so these next two plays will be my last ones here as a director," if you thought Daniel was a fast talker, then Reese completely blindsided you, one ear dipped as he held a hand up, ticking off a finger with each point he listed off. For a moment you and Travis can only blink stupefied when he finally stops to catch his breath. Reese jolts, both hands flying in front of him as a goofy chuckle escaped his lips, gesturing to the meif'wa beside him he spoke once more.

"Oh right! This right here is my partner, but I'll leave it to them to say their introductions, go ahead Z." The meif'was tail curled lazily through the air, brushing against Reese's. They smile, this one small and reserved for Reese, and Reese alone.
