Being here was like being in a completely different world. Everything seemed so much more rambunctious than the schools he was used to. In one corner, he saw a group of minotaurs rough-housing as a green-skinned orcish teacher seemed to walk by like it was completely inconsequential. Interestingly, it wasn't just males who were wrestling either. In the other corner though, there was a pair of alraune girls preening themselves to the complete adulation of a diverse assortment of male shortstacks. For a moment, his eyes locked with a group of goblin girls dressed to flaunt who were eying him up like a pork chop and all at the same time, made lewd
blowjob hand gestures (NSFW link) at him. The action made his face flush as he gave an awkward smile and wave. The whole exchange lasted about a second as he was waiting for a response from the girl he was sent to talk to, but it made an impression. What a weird place.
Human biases crept into his mind even though he made a concerted effort to try to be open-minded. There was no shortage of rumors about monster promiscuity, but there was quite a taboo around it. Decades and centuries of human propaganda about sexual relations with monsters leading to all kinds of illnesses ingrained the taboo in the public conscience. Actually, he wasn't quite sure how true that part was since it apparently wasn't very well studied, and it varied from species to species. There were all kinds of stereotypes that sit in the back of a person's mind when they are still ignorant, even if they don't necessarily embrace them. A common human bit of folklore was that all goblins were inherently sexually insatiable, but sex with them would give you warts. Best he could tell from what reading he managed, that one was a myth. Then of course there was the common believe that arachne would devour any partner they had sexual relations with. That one seemed to be harder to confirm or deny.
When Ophelia finally seemed to gather her attention on Rascal, she began to introduce herself nonchalantly at first, but seemed to stop dead in her tracks. Rascal felt the pause as she noted that he was human; she sounded almost entranced. Perhaps deep in thought. He couldn't quite figure out what was going through her mind, but as she processed it, his eyes briefly drifted over her shoulder to see what appeared to be an imp student... uh, selling a 'former teacher' on a leash? That couldn't be. There's no way that was allowed. Er, right? His eyes briefly locked with first the teacher and then the imp before he pulled his gaze away abruptly, feeling in the pit of his stomach like that eye contact would lead them to interacting at some point. What would he even say to something like that?
As his sights returned to Ophelia, it was just in time for her to snap up to her feet like a bottle rocket. The sudden movement made him take a step back in surprise; his eyes went big at the sight before him. There was a slight pivot of his upper body as he stepped back, but he mostly kept the heavy bags draped over his shoulder steady. She seemed to be quite a bit bigger than him and was quite voluptuous, so the sudden movement made her jiggle and bounce in all of the right places. It almost looked like she was going to tackle him by how her shadow seemed to eclipse him when she rose up, but instead, he was treated to a very sudden glimpse up the girl's skirt at her panties. It was jarring, but not altogether unwelcome. Or at all unwelcome, to be quite honest.
Ophelia's perkiness was almost contagious and he couldn't help but lean in as he spoke to her with a sophisticated charm that belied his poor upbringing, "I appreciate the warm introduction. My name's Rascal van Halen, which my teachers and foster families always love to emphasize when I get into trouble. I hope this doesn't sound extremely insensitive because I don't mean it to be, but you're really pretty. The depictions of orcs in human cities are not very flattering. Not really very nice either. Sorry about that. I was kind of surprised when the front office told me that you were an orc and showed me your picture, but the fact that you're even prettier than your school photo has me kind of blown away."
