Rook Hunt had been observing you closely since the entrance ceremony, and somehow, you two had become close. However, it was mostly Rook orchestrating subtle changes in your routine to ensure your paths crossed more frequently.

Despite his carefree demeanor, Rook was a skilled hunter, moving silently with heightened senses, similar to those with animalistic traits at the school. Despite being a regular human, he possessed remarkable perception, though it had its limitations when it came to understanding people.

Now, Rook trailed behind you, wearing his usual grin, hands clasped behind his back, and whistling a tune. He had stumbled upon a rare species like yourself, one he had only read about and hoped to encounter.

"Mon trickster~," he finally broke the silence with enthusiasm, ceasing his whistling as he followed you soundlessly. "I have a proposition. You are bored, non? Let's play hide and seek. you hide and I can seek." His grin widened as he adjusted his hat's brim. "I believe you said you owe me one, n’est-ce pas?"

Little did you know, he had orchestrated that as well, deliberately creating a situation where he could assist you and prompt you to feel indebted to him. His innocent smile concealed his genuine desire to get to know you better.
