So late reply is late and short because typing is honestly a pain.)

Pierce couldn't stop the chuckle that left his mouth as he raised an eyebrow towards Austin. "You're serious, aren't you?" He asked, though from the look in the younger man's eyes the question was unnecessary. "Damn...you really should know better than to offer yourself over to other people so easily." Dark blue eyes rolled slightly, it was not nearly as fun to play with prey that simply rolled over and showed their belly. Brown eyebrows furrowed slightly as they looked over Austin's face; soft and round and trusting. Pierce's head cocked to the side slightly. "You sure you're not a house cat?" he questioned with a teasing tone and another chuckle.

Glancing at the time on the clock, he was surprised how much time had gone by since the two underclassmen had sat down. Clearly he'd been thoroughly distracted.

"Why don't you swing by the soccer fields around four?" Pierce gave the option to the other feline as he stood with his mostly empty tray in hand, the other hand swinging his bag over his shoulder. "Maybe by then I'll have figured out an 'exchange' so to speak." He left the two underclassmen behind with a wink and chuckle to himself, curious whether or not the other cat would come or whether they would sense the danger and run.

The hallways towards the classrooms were getting busier and busier as more students finished their lunch and headed towards whatever remaining classes they had for the afternoon. Leland, being an art major himself, was headed towards the stairs that would take him downstairs where most of the art, music, and drama classrooms were. Thankfully there were less people down there, and the majority of them were either herbivores or omnivores so Leland could loosen up and relax a bit.

Finishing his Red Bull, he threw the can into the nearest recycler in the hallway before stepping into one of the art rooms. This particular room was more centered towards photography and even had a dark room in the back for students to develop themselves. Setting his bag on what had come to be well known as Leland's seat, he pulled his camera case out and set to work putting the pieces together. It was a rather expensive camera, his first real purchase of anything significant, and it was obvious by his meticulous work that he cared for it deeply.
