"I bet. I would have screamed and hit the floor- I mean ground."Niko admitted. His parents would have reacted, surely. They didn't like to listen to him scream or cry. They may have been annoyed but they would have fixed it, too. No horse would get his hand- and if luck was with him, it wouldn't get a carrot, either, given he had one. He didn't really eat carrots unless told to do so.
"Pandas are cool, definitely. But I kind of lean toward bears- I like teddy bears. So real, live bears are fascinating. Also penguins with those yellow feathers? Those are my favorite at the zoo."Niko answered."I like the zoo." The randomness of the animals, the diverse animals, and especially the bear exhibit made him happy. Very happy.

"That's pretty cool, but the penguins always looked funny to me. Especially when they walk, I laugh every time." Cyrus liked the zoo, but he hadn't been there in ages. He actually missed the zoo now that he thought about it, he would have to go back there and see the neat animals. Well, minus anything that had water near it, like the fish tanks and alligators and such.
Hence why he never went to the Aquarium, so many fish, so much water...what if it all broke? He shuddered at the thought!
He looked up at the sky and smiled, the rain had stopped and Cyrus was ready to move along. "So, wanna go walk around, as much as I like to keep standing in one spot, I got to move at some point." He chuckled and patted Nik on the back. He then thought for a moment, what else could they talk about?

Niko wasn't good with being touched by someone he didn't know well. It wasn't that he didn't like Cyrus, he just. . .Didn't like it. It made him feel weird. Which was why he flinched away. It was a small, yet somewhat necessary gesture to him. Still, that's not what he had wanted to do, and he didn't want to make Cyrus feel bad, so he forced himself to relax and smile. Maybe that meant he could touch Cyrus? He didn't really want to, per se. Wasn't that significant to him.
"We can walk around. . .That's fine."Niko stated in agreement. He didn't mind the idea of moving about, it beat staying around for the rain, didn't it? Not that moving would prevent rain, of course. He could pretend. . .
"Cy, what do you think of this school?"Niko questioned. That wasn't his real question, his real question was more along the lines of 'why is some guy touching me?'. If he was gay, too, Niko wouldn't mind it. If he was straight and Niko took it the wrong way, well. . .Then it'd be a problem. So he was looking for him to say 'I hate it', or 'It isn't so bad'.

Cyrus moved on and noticed the small flinch, "Ee, sorry." He apologized and then didn't think much of it as he put his hands in his pockets and walked at an easy pace on the trail ahead of them. He listened to the sounds of birds signing and enjoyed that. He wondered how far they where from the school.
Speaking of school, he looked over at Nikolai when asked what he thought about this school. "Hmm," Cy said in thought, "Well, it's not bad really. I actually kind of like it, got some interesting people about, good classes and I have a big ass room." He laughed at the last part.
"It's nice being in a school where people won't freak out if you think a guy looks nice." He shrugged then. He raised his scared hand and ran it through his orange and black locks, and then ruffled his own hair, getting what little water that was in it, out.

"It's fine. . ."Niko mumbled, placing his own hands in his pockets as a way to mimic Cyrus. The pace was easy indeed, for Niko had no problem keeping up with him, no trouble staying at his side.
Ah. So he did like guys? That was what he wanted to hear. Niko smiled, quite happily. That made sense at least.
"Yeah, I agree with you. That's why I wanted to come here. I mean, I know the headmaster isn't singing our praise, but at least people wouldn't think you were a total freak or anything."Niko chimed in. His mood was definitely switching again, but this time it wasn't uncalled for, just unavoidable.
"And yeah, my room's big. I don't spend much time there at all, though. . . Not much at all."Niko stated. It was kind of boring in there, big or not.

He looked at his hand and shook it out, "Yes, finally got all that freaking water out of my hair." He said happily as he walked. Then he laughed, "Yeah, I know the headmaster must be banging his head against the hall half the time with everyone around, I don't think they are actually helping us in the way they want." He mused with a grin.
"Yeah, I know the feeling there," Cyrus started as his mind traveled to his room, "I just now got a roommate but I haven't really talked to him so I don't know what he is like. I just hope he isn't the type that hates music and mean...I don't really care for mean people so much, but my mouth gets me into trouble with them sometimes."
He took a turn and licked his bottom lip for no reason, it was just something to do really.

"Wicked,"Niko agreed optimistically. "I'm glad." He really was. It was nice that it was, well, working out for him. . .sorta. . . At least it wasn't raining still. That was great to him, because he didn't like Cyrus being terrified like that.
"I bet he is,"Niko laughed, amused by the thought. He hadn't really given it thought before. Still it was very entertaining to consider now.
"Music, I love music."Niko offered."Who wouldn't? I'm sure your roommate'll be cool, but you're really the only person I've met, so I don't know for sure. You can hope, at least." He had no idea honestly. What if Cyrus got stuck with someone who was like, homophobic or something as a result of this school? Or what if he got some perverted kid? Or even a girl? Niko, himself, wouldn't do too well with a girl as his roommate as far as he was concerned.

"Yeah," he chuckled, "I suppose all I can do is hope. Eh, but I'm sure he will be alright." He shrugged, he wasn't going to worry about it, not right now at least. Besides, once you got a roommate you where stuck with them, so it was simply best to try and get along with your roommate, or that's what he thought at least.
Cyrus looked down at the ground for a moment and chuckled, "I've met a couple of guys already, let's see one likes to scare the crap out of me, or at least I think so, why is okay. Keeps me on my toes I guess. Then I met this one guy at the pool, he apparently likes my hair...a lot. He kept playing with it, not that's a bad thing or anything, it would of been better if he wasn't wet." He let out a nervous chuckle then.
Why on earth he was talking about this he wasn't too sure, "But the other people I've met weren't so bad, but the girl was, she yelled a lot."

"He. . .scares you? Huh. . ."Niko muttered curiously, his eyes going to Cyrus to examine him as though his expression would explain it all. "Plays with your hair? Ha. Not so bad, eh?" Niko got a mischievous grin as his expression as he removed one of his hands- the one on the same side as Cyrus- before trying to walk and play with his hair. It didn't work. He ended up getting a thoughtful look on his face as he would walk, then when he'd try to touch Cyrus's hair he stopped moving as he tried to focus on the touch itself. Then he'd try to move again. It wasn't going well.
"Aaahh, forget it."Niko shrugged passively, looking back to where he was walking as he quickened his pace for a step or two to catch back up with Cyrus again.
"I can relate to that."Niko nodded in agreement."Girls typically scare me. . .A lot. I typically just don't talk to them. But they're usually in groups so I wouldn't talk to them, anyway. I don't like groups." 'Don't like' was an understatement. He hated groups, especially talking to groups. It made him nervous. Not like, audiences when he played piano. But groups, especially with the attention on him. Groups that expected conversations, that could be heard by him.

"Yeah," He mused, "I hear you there, girls can be scary...nice too look at too sometimes." He pointed out with some thought but then shook his head. He wasn't sure where his thoughts where going and he didn't really notice Nik trying to get to his hair, if did notice he probably would of laughed.
Cyrus came to a stop then, looking around, he wasn't sure where he was going so he scratched his chin, "You know," He said slowly, "I have no idea where we are going." He shifted his weight to the right and placed a hand on his hip.
"I think we're lost...maybe..." Poking the inside of his mouth with his tongue he glanced around the wooded area. "My, my..." He mused and then looked at Nikolai, "Well, on that note, what do you wanna do?"
