"There's a lot of chestnuts in the botanical gardens, so we should start there. Try to look for gloves and a basket too, so you don't prick yourself." Trey left the freshman with those words before going off to buy the other ingredients he needed and prepare things in the kitchen.

"Woah! There's probably a ton of chestnuts in here, which means more tarts!" Grim's eyes widened at the size of the gardens. "Grim stop wandering off." Yuu hurried after the cat. "We should probably split up, Ace and I can go together, and then Yuu and Grim." Deuce looked at Allen, "Senpai are you okay with going alone?"

You won't really be alone Ally, you'll be with me! And I'm better company than those idiots

You're hate counter is already in the thousand's

Damn it's not in the millions yet? Gotta work harder I guess

"Yes, I'll be fine on my own," Allen put off Deuce's concerns. "Juice and I can go this way, Yuu can go the opposite, and Zilck-senpai, you go more towards the inner part of the gardens up ahead." Ace sauntered in the direction he assigned to him and Deuce. "It's Deuce!" The navy haired freshman hissed at Ace.

"This garden is very..... big ." Allen stopped walking to admire the flowers.

This is the perfect opportunity to say Thats What She Said

I just wanted one moment of peace

Allen spotted a rose bud, it's thorns were short, but sharp. "I suppose it would be a good time to feed Chara, no one's around." Allen grabbed the rose, and cut his hand with the thorns. Blood oozed down his fingers as he held the rose branch in the other hand, leaving his bleeding one free.

"Chara, come out dear," he called. The wyvern appeared and nuzzled into Allen's neck, her perked up at the smell of blood. Chara's blue eyes darted to Allen's bleeding hand, her gaze locked onto it. The wyvern made its way down Allen's arm, and looked up at Allen for confirmation. Allen nodded in agreement. Chara began feeding on his blood, her eyes started to turn a little pink, matching Allen's.

Greedy little thing

Well she is hungry, she hasn't eaten all day

Once Chara was done feeding, the wyvern flew up to Allen's shoulder and wrapped her long tail around Allen's neck, with her head resting against one side of Allen's neck.

Sometimes I can't tell if she's more snakelike or dragonlike

Aren't wyverns a mix of both?

Maybe that's why she's so slithery

As Allen was walking deeper into the gardens, he found a large group of chestnuts. He squatted down a little and reached his hand out to grab some. He held the one he picked out up to his eye, and after a little nod in approval, he started to grab more. He'd already spent some time in feeding Chara, if the others noticed he was gone too long, it might raise suspicion.

And Allen had a feeling that Trey and Cater were wary of him.

"How many did Trey say he needed again?" Allen muttered, for an assassin, his memory was very selective. Suddenly, Allen felt a presence behind him, his body turned backwards as his head snapped to see who it was. It was an unfamiliar presence, and he could tell the person was strong.

Allen came face to face with a tall boy who had piercing green eyes, which seemed to be glaring at him. The individual had brown hair and what looked like..... lion ears ? As he recalled, there were different types of species in this world.
