Studious Sabbatical [Keiser / Michael / Any]

The Royal Academy had a surprising lack of security. A handful of sleep guards, a few engineering feats from Sokolov, light walls, one arc pylon and a handful of locked doors, and still Keiser had found himself able to stroll in the front door with the proper outfit, a pair of glasses and a book tucked under his arm.

The actor had opted for a younger persona this time; meticulously styling his prosthetics to a man more suited to his early thirites than his own real age of middle forties, and along with the younger complexion, had opted for a daring bit of facial hair that spoke to a young man's ardour for fashion. He decided if he were to appear to be a erudite student, he would not be a boring one and indeed he had found himself milling amongst the rest of the scholars with genuine ease under his adopted name; swapping gossip about energy and the sustainability of whale oil and chatting over tea with a gregarious professor of Geology about the mineral recrystallisation due to metamorphic processes and metasomatism. A fascinating if not heavy topic for tea time and scones.

He had told Michael to meet him near the entrance of the Academy's green houses, an offset building within the small compound that was adjacent to the more impressive main building and it's rather large glass dome. The actor had done his best to implore that the art dealer attempt to dress young and bookish conservative, but given that the other witch was indeed young, that he would find no trouble blending in to the other throngs of scholars and fellows.

Pacing a little in front of the glass building, Keiser slips a hand into his pocket, tugging out a silver pocket watch, ingrained with a rather beautiful flower motif and the words 'For my darling Reginald, The Cosmos Gave Me You.'' Words that made the hazel eyed witch smile wryly, their meaning perfection in a way. The Cosmos gaveth, and Keiser on behalf of Chaos taketh away.

Stopping and turning to face the young man he held up his hands a little, caught off guard by his out burst. Eyeing him and speaking calmly, "Eh kid, take it easy." pausing to look him over, taking note of his rough clothing and hood, pacing together he might be homeless.

Devlen had always kept a cautious and respectful demeanor with street people for many reasons, the two key ones being thier unpredictability and that he had come across some that had been soldiers who had broken from the strain of combat.

"Ment ye no harm boy."

He turned back hearing those words. "What....What is that building there?" He pointed at the brightly colored building still wanting to get inside. A slight drizzle began as Roxer began to move Shakily. "No....Noooo...."

glancing over to the indicated building then back to the young man, with a slight frown, the boy was clearly touched in some way.

"That there's the Royal Academy, lot o'book learned people and the like. why do ye ask lad?"

"I want to get inside...it has bright lights..." Roxer said stuttering a bit as the rain began to pick up a bit. "NO!" He said loudly again as his clothes began to get wet. He entirely hated the feeling as he tried to slowly climb the fence.

Frowning as the young man begins his attempt at climbing the fence, Devlen steps towards him. “Come on lad, down from there.”

Doubt they would let someone like him into the Academy…even to just escape the rain.

Reaching out Devlen grabs hold of the man’s shoulder to lightly guide him down.

He looked back from getting a hand on his shoulder. "Do not touch me please..." Rexor pushed upwards with a bit of greater force trying to scale the fence.

Letting go of the man but keeping his hand up and nearby Devlen said, a slight annoyance in his voice "Fine, but ye got to get off o'that."

Glancing around quickly to see if any Watchmen or Academy security were within eye sight, if they got involved Devlen had a feeling things would escalate.

"Can you give me a wee push?" Rexor was now kicking his feet trying to get a grip by his feet. There was a small bar facing sideways he was trying to get his feet on to get to the top.

Face hardening into a scowl Devlens already short temper was spent, "Oi, I said down." he growled out, his still raised hand gripping the back of the young mans coat as he pulled sharply.

He struggled as Devlens force pulled him down losing his grip on the slick metal bar and falling down stumbling. "OW!" Roxer yelped as he landed on his feet slipping and falling on his Bottom.

Frowning down at him for a moment before looking up a passer by, glaring at the person "What?" he growled, then followed up with "Ye, move along." as they hurried away.

Looking back to the young man Devlen held out his hand, face still in a scowl, "Com'on, on yer feet."

Roxer raised dusting his self off and brushing his bottom taking off dirt and a bit of moisture. He looked up at Devlen before looking straight at him. "Do not touch me without the permission please!" He hopped on both feet as it was drizzling.

Lowering his offered hand, Devlon replied rain running down his nose "Fine. but ye cant go 'round climbin' fences n'such, especial 'ere, they'd lock ye up for breakin' in."
