"I'm good. It's a beautiful day," Rania said. "How are you?"

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" Garnet snapped.

"Sorry, sorry!" said the young man, picking himself up off the ground.  "Totally my fault.  I spaced out looking at some stuff.  Are you all right?"

Behind her, someone snickered.

"All right, I guess," said Yasmin.  "Kinda nervous, though."

The beautiful day part wasn't so great for her, Ghuls being nocturnal.

"I'm sure you'll do fine," Rania said. "You're a great student."

"I'm fine," Garnet said, glancing at whoever was snickering.

"Good," said John.

Behind her, though, two awkward male students were whispering to each other.

"I saw them!" one said with glee.

"You are even more than me," said Yasmin.  "But I'm more nervous about the people stuff..."

"But you should be good there too. You're nice and friendly," Rania said.

"I suppose I can forgive you...this time," Garnet said.

"Uh, thanks," said John.  "I'm John Delgado..."

"Short skirts are just the best!" Garnet distinctly heard behind her.

"Well, maybe," Yasmin said.  "The problem is having to hide things from humans or else having our kind who don't think much of, you know.  Us."

"That's silly. I mean, you're not the only people eaters. Vampires are just overgrown mosquitos," Rania said.

"Garnet Greer," Garnet said and glared at the two boys.

"I know," sighed Yasmin, "but we don't have all the good press and romance.  And, um, what we do is a lot messier and more trouble.  I don't think dead humans have to figure in to a vampire's life at all."

"Aw, you're in trouble, MattOOOON!" one called. "She heard you!"

"And you," the other laughed.  "Hey, it's a girl.  I'm gonna look.  That's just how it is."

"They can easily kill one while feeding," Rania said. "But I'll stand with you if anyone tries anything."

"How about you two get lost?" Garnet said, anger clear in her voice.

"What?" said Mattoon.  "Why?  We're just talking.  Free speech, right?"

"Thanks," said Yasmin.  "I guess we'll see how it goes..."

"I'm right here with you," Rania said.

"Here's the fun bit, my dad's a lawyer so I know somethings" Garnet said with a smile as she cracked her knuckles. "You're free to say anything you like, but you're also going to get consequences for that as well."

(OOC: Intimidation, not channeling anything dragon for it though. Garnet Greer rolled 14 using 1d20+6. Gonna spend a hero point to reroll that. Garnet Greer rolled 22 using 1d20+6)

"Geez. we're just joking around" protested one, but the pair backed off, muttering something about 'No fun.'

"Nicely done," said John.

Yasmin impulsively hugged her.

"Thanks," she said.

Rania hugged her back.

"Don't worry about it, we're friends."
