Cold and Lost

Times had changed he was now old enough to go out to the world on his own if anything he insisted on it with his uncle who took care of them. Things had changed times had changed the memories of his past still haunt him but if he were to become the man he needed to be he would have to find a school that would teach him. Thus Syne Academy a new school with an unusual teaching regime and unlike Beacon and other kingdoms there was no really concern of qualifications or lineage let alone deep background checks. a fresh start for a young man who had struck it on his own for four years. His sister had recommended this place and it was better than wasting time in their little hole in the wall temple. Here he could follow in his father and mother footsteps and become... a Hunter.

The ride upon the airship that had to take him to this academy on the mountain was a pain something of an expense he didn't expect but worth the trip to drop of his application. As they landed he could see snow for the first time and he was thankful his sister knitted him some winter clothes. Dawning his favorite black leather bondage jacket, chaps, jeans, boots, gloves, and shades it was warm enough but he had placed some long johns on per his sister's recommendation of mountain weather and he wore the shoulder cloak and hood she made for him he didn't want many to know what he looked like just yet and it kept people from being friendly to him.

Landing the ships ramps descended lights signifying people to take their luggage and possessions and prepare to disembark from the ship. Sling the travel pack and duffel bag over his shoulder Ash Rockford was finally at Syne and followed the path of his people and his choices. Stepping outside he could feel the sting of cold and knew why his sister insisted snow and cold was becoming his least favorite thing in life. Starring out to the academy he watched and observe the other students who got off the ship never really making any acquaintances and walked around towards the common grounds hopefully making his way to location where he could drop of his application.

Ash stumbled a step blinking as something bumped into hi though smaller than his height and sturdy pivoting slightly to see over his shoulder he was stun more by the two floating objects by the girl if anything else and knelt slightly hand on his knee and poked Yang and its barrier amazed at it. Ash heard of faunus but he didn't know what or who this was. Pulling down his mask and lifting his shades he speak softly it was almost like a soft silhouette from the shadows.

"Yo, you okay?" Ash asked politely making sure he didn't hurt her and see if she was okay.

Setting his duffel bag down he squatted to about her height keeping well balanced on the balls of his feet. "Tis all right. Are you okay? I'm new myself this is my first school it is a bit to take in especially the snow."

It reminded him of his little sister how small she was when they were kids and he couldn't help but smile if not for just a moment before catching himself and lifting his face mask and lowering his shades slinging the duffel bag over his shoulder. The darkly clad leather jacket and chaps individual seem to observe her and her two floating pets maybe that's what they are given how technology was these days. "Rock, and you are miss?"

"Oh, I have never seen snow so this is my first time. cold for my taste." replied Ash as he stood up watching the two small objects circle around her. Hearing her request to walk onward was a good idea to him given he too had places to go but it seem she wanted to continue conversing. "Creators? I don't seem to understand. I know there are machines that look like people but I only read in books."

Puzzled maybe those two pets of her were computers and Ash observed Yin closely whether they were machines or not they were sentient thus a life and a life even artificial was important in the balance or so how he was raised. "Sorry Yin didn't mean to stop you."

Eyeing the one name Yang it was clear this one was protective of her and the other one was a scout but what was a machine-person doing at the school though. Something that made Ash curious but being to familiar would be rude in his opinion so he did not think perusing her personal life was appropriate. Being much taller than her he would slow his pace to hers standing by her side. Keeping his eyes out for any building that would seem familiar maybe Ophelia would be heading the same place he was to register and get his credentials for classes.
"Nice to make an acquaintance."

Surprised Ash looked her over and place a finger on her forehead and blinked. He couldn't make much a difference and he thought back with his lessons at the temple it was humming to think her anymore than a life and found himself reciting a proverb. "Regardless if it is metal or flesh. Foreign or enemy all life is the same precious, fragile, strong. Whether your parents made you it's no different in the symbolism of birth. You are sentient and you can feel there fore you have a soul."

It was fascinating and odd she was a machine maybe even if downright spooky but she in essence was alive she could make choices respecting and/or regret them. So he offered her a smile and a pat on the head as they got to the offices. Submitting his application he turned down the dorm although free he prefer his solitude for now desiring his privacy when it came to dust training.

Glancing to the many students he wondered if Ophelia would need a big brother. Not in sense like family but some one looking out for her in case some did not acknowledge her as who she would be rather than what she was. Holding his chin Ash contemplated that a hint of concern. Kneeling down to her height his bottom face was covered but it seem like he was smiling.
"Did you want me to escorts you to your dorm? Or did you need help with anything before I depart Ophelia-chan?"

Ash give her a moment to think allowing her to have enough time to think it over. He himself had to prepare bus campsite but Ash wanted to be sure she was okay and comfortable knowing how some people, like the faunas and human rivalry, could be and he didn't want her to have that kind of experience or difficulty.
