Academy life for Sol was a mixed bag of feelings and opinions. On the one hand, the silent acolyte devoured new knowledge like a man starved. On the other, the day by day into weeks could feel dully monotonous rather quickly. Particularly with his bookworm habits. Not that he was never seen outside. Rather, he kept to physical training or going out in the evening. When the air was cooler and raindrops fell in heavy sheets through the dimming light that filtered gray through the limitless stormclouds was when Sol kept most active. Unfortunately, not many others seemed to share this same preference.
Now was just such a time. A particularly thick tome and sketch pad were both cradled carefully in arms covered by the sleeves of an oversized hoodie. Fairly standard black jeans covered his legs, obviously well-worn, an old backpack hanging loosely from his shoulders In truth the only "nice" thing he wore was the Doc Marlins boots on his feet. Which made sense, since he'd stolen them at some point. They were very comfortable and he regretted nothing.
Having just left the dining hall, Sol was on his way to one of the covered outside near-dorm areas just like he usually did. He rounded a corner- and nearly ran directly into a slightly taller half-Sephi heading the opposite direction, brows rising in surprise as he was pulled free from idle thought. Sol backed up slightly to hopefully avoid an actual impact, offering a wave and an apologetic look.
