[He's surprised to see her, especially because them interacting in a place where people can see is some wild violation of the Highschool Class system, but thankfully, everyone's to self absorbed to really bat an eyelash.
He chuckles at that, trying to keep his cool, jerking an obnoxious thumb towards his own chest.]
In some circles, I'm pretty sure they call it avant garde.
[Unfortunately, as a fashion person, Simon is Actually Right about that one.]
And well, the Harbringer of Darkness isn't just gonna vanquish himself!
[Simon is well aware he's probably referencing some nerdy bullshit Grace is unfamiliar with and doesn't care about. It's another test, a game. Does she want to be associated with the gremlins and the geeks, only time will tell.]
Oh, it's avant-garde alright. Very pay attention to me. I practically couldn't see you over here.
[ She definitely finger-quoted there, but Grace just stays put. His antisocial chic seems to be good at warding off plenty of people. Since when did Grace ever listen to the majority, though? Her finger catches on his locker door to tug it open just a bit more, her mouth crooking into a lopsided smirk.
Personal space? She's a little fuzzy on that, too. ]
What did the Harbinger of Darkness ever do, huh? Seems like a guy that just got stuck with a crappy job off of Craigslist.
[ Is that a challenge? ]
I mean, I'm weak to paper cuts too but I don't know, Simon. You might be in over your head.
[ Normal people ask "Why are you staying back? It's not detention again is it?" ]
[Here, Simon clears his throat, doing his best impression of a bellowing old man voice.]
"What is this list of Craig you speak of? Is he a lord of some foreign land?"
[He's staying back because someone has bothered to take the time to speak to him, and while Simon has learned that getting your hopes up is a dangerous game, he can't help but feel happy that she's actually addressing him in public. The bar is low, folks.]
[ She hides her smile behind her hand but it's obvious from how her eyes are scrunched up that it's definitely wide. She clears her own throat. ]
My Lord, it's only the land that your daughter's promised prince was last seen. He needs you to pay a ransom to get him to return to his home at once but his family will pay you handsomely in return for showing your allegiance to your children's future union!
[ She is somehow a messenger boy, only not... and no, she didn't just bring up those awful chain letters cheating people from money. Not at all.
Grace's lips purse into a pout, and for a moment she looks frustrated. It's there and gone and she points a foot out for him to look at. ]
I'm sitting it out today. I was working on jumps a couple of days ago and ended up landing poorly. Rad, right? So yeah, I've just been hobbling around but it's feeling a lot better today. No need to chance my luck though.
[ Leggings be damned, there's a hint of the wrap secured around her ankle peaking from the bottom of her pant. She turns an inquisitive eye on her companion. Maybe there's a pause, as if she's debating speaking up or not.
Speaking always wins. ]
Did you have anything you're up to? I was going to study at the coffeeshop or something for a change of scenery.

When that day comes, I'm gonna be prepared.
