Bryce sighed to himself as he hauled himself up and over the pointed fence to the rear of his school. Straightening up, he dusts his pants off before making sure to check that nowhere was dirty. He had learnt very quickly that even a minute speck of anything seemed to set both the students and teachers here off.
Grumbling a little as he straightened his tie, he kept an ear out for the marching of boots. The criers made things a bit awkward as the called out the names of two people he couldn't care less about. Groundlings like himself, but it's not like he knew the name of every groundling he'd met. Just two unfortunate people.
After a few minutes of leaning against the fence, he lets out a breath he had been holding before looking down at his hands. A flick of the wrist and a small necklace appeared in his gloved hands, made of gold and silver links with diamonds inbetween. Very nice. If a bit tacky.
Letting out a sharp whistle, he waits for just a second as Stanley's form floated over the fence as well. Opening his palm, he shows his friend the spoils, which elicits a happy grin from the turtle, who's body crackles with thunder as he headbuts Bryce.
Tucking the necklace back into his sleeve pocket, Bryce made his way around the building with Stanley lumbering just behind him. While shorter than him, the turtle's shape and size was enough to intimidate most other Elementals and if they weren't his aggressive attitude did.
Looking left and right as Bryce jogged his way into the courtyard, he waved at the cleaning staff, exchanging some news and pleasantries. While he didn't have many (See: Any, really) friends his age, he had made plenty with the staff here. Commoners and even some Groundlings, they enjoyed his different attitude to them than the rest of his peers while he just enjoyed having someone without a stick up their butts to talk to. And while it wasn't technically allowed to be on campus so early, no one mentions it as he waves goodbye.
Making his way through the main building of the school, he makes sure to ignore the life that pervaded the school. While they were nobles, the teens that went here were just that, teens. They had fun and mucked about, yet still managed to come off as privileged gits. It confused him to no end.
A small storm goes off behind him and Bryce laughs a little bit as he slows down to allow Stanley to catch up. "Okay, now you have to carry me." He states as he sits on his Elemental's rocky hide. Despite a few darker grumblings, the Wind elemental acquiesed to his requiest and sped the duo along through the nearly empty halls, all the way to Bryce's goal: The swimming pool.
The one thing he enjoyed the most about this school was its pool. An actual indoor, 50 metre long pool, just for the students and teachers. It was heated during the school hours by workers, but even without them Bryce found that it was the third most enjoyable thing in his life, behind theft and flying of course.
Arriving at the pool, he swiftly changes into a pair of swimming trunks he had hidden away in the changing rooms (No lockers here, and he didn't want a servant to carry his things like most others). Once that was done, he wastes no time diving into the pool and begins to swim, Stanley floating lazily on his on the sky above.
