tvd / nysm } { the salvatore school for the young and gifted

[vampireboulevard]

Nestled just on the outskirts of the tiny town of Mystic Falls, Virginia is the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted. As far as most of the town is concerned, the school is exactly how it's marketed - a boarding school for rich and gifted students - but a few are aware of it's real origins.

A school for young supernatural students, so that they can grow up somewhere where they didn't have to hide.

The headmaster is actually much older than she looks, having not aged a day since she was seventeen, but she's learned to dress herself up to fit the part. Her long hair is swept up into an elegant twist, her pant suit is perfect and polished, and her makeup is appropriately adult. Still, there's not a lot that can hide the youthfulness of her features no matter how hard she tries.

She's standing at the front of the school, watching as the car pulls up in front before flashing the man who arrives a bright smile and wave. Once he emerges from the car, she waves and makes her way closer to shake his hand.

"Mr. Rhodes. Welcome to the Salvatore School."

She nods. If anyone understands secrets it's Hope Mikaelson. "I'll keep it to myself." She rubs one arm gently, before tipping her head to the side. "But do you think it would be okay if I met them sometime?"

Dylan's quick to pop one shoulder in a shrug.

He might have to sell them on the fact that she's a Mikaelson, considering her father is the literal bogeyman, but it'll be worth it, he thinks. She could use a whole group of people, who understand what it's like to be the children of two worlds. They could use the chance to get to know her, who's as much supernatural royalty as he is, if not more so -- they could use the chance to get to know the future of the community.

"I don't see why not," he tells her, that in mind. "We'll have to work something out, with school and everything, but." But he can introduce her to the Horsemen or take her by the Archives or both.

She knows the fact that she's a Mikaelson could have been an issue, but she's hoping that making friends in these places might help indicate that she's not her father. She may share his rage and some of his darkness, but she's doing her best to control it and do better.

To be the hero, not the villain.

"I don't always go home for breaks. Christmas is out because Aunt Freya will kill me if I miss the Christmas bonfire, but spring break or summer I can do."

"Yeah, Christmas is off the table for me, too." Christmas is his favorite holiday, that something his father's death didn't take from him, surprisingly. He'd like to spend it with his family, with the Horsemen.

"Spring break might be good, though?" he continues after a moment of thought. "There's usually something going on, with us, that I could drag you along to." There's usually some kind of pack activity she might enjoy.

[theloophole]

She nods, because that works. She it'll be nice to take a break from the usual spring break of hanging out by herself at school. "I'll let my aunt know. See what she says."

She's sure it'll be fine. She'll likely be curious about the pack as well, even if Hope won't tell Freya all their secrets.

"Lemme know," Dylan says with a nod of his own. "I'll be around, whenever." As long as Hope lets him know at any point before spring break, no rush.

In the meantime, though, "And, uh -- I should probably let you get going, huh?" To whatever she has to do, after this. He didn't mean to keep her here, after class, as long as he did, never mind the fact that he wasn't the one that approached her in the first place.

[theloophole]

"Right. Yeah, I should probably get to class." She then offers up a small smile as she turns to head out the door. "But thanks. For the talk."

And with that, she will leave him to prep for his next class.
