When Athelstan was angry or depressed, he sought solace in nature, and he was angry. It was stupid, but he had expected better of someone in one of the most prestigious fraternities at UCLA than to laugh at accuse him of "faggotry" for signing up for the LGBTQA Immigration protest march. He'd briefly argued before deciding to walk away; there was a special place in Hell for hatemongers, after all.
To decompress, he'd gone out to the Los Angeles Arboretum, which wasn't far from campus. It was hard for Athelstan to remain upset at anything for long out here. Everything was green and unspoilt, the water was shining and he felt the rage begin to slowly subside.
