Van wasn't really sure how to react, seeing his own face from this perspective, as if it was a completely different person, was weird enough, bit seeing said face scowling at him was something completely different, do he decided to address the elephant on the room.
He stretched his arms and placed them on his knees as he looked at his double, "So, Agnès any idea how did this happen?"
"Don't do that!" the girl yelled as she clenched her fist, he just raised an eyebrow in response, having no idea what bothered her right now, apart from the whole body swap situation, but she was kind enough to point it out to him, "Don't stretch your legs so much! I can see...see..." she tried to finish the phrase but simply couldn't, insisted her face turned bright red, gluing her eyes to the ground.
"Oh yeah, almost forgot about that" Van said as she scratched his head and assumed a more ladylike position, closing his legs to avoid the girl's wrath, but since she was complaining so much about his position he should probably bring up how weird it was to see himself, or rather his own body, so embarrassed, "Don't take this the wrong way but try not to do that in my body" he echoed her thoughts, "You make me look like a schoolgirl blushing so much"
"I am a schoolgirl, you idiot! This is all your fault, if you hadn't pick up that dumb ball nothing would have happened!"
"Hey I had no idea it would do that! I thought it was kind of trinket and wanted to sell it off, you can't blame me for that!"
"Yes I can! Look what it did to us, and you broke it!"
"It's not broken, it just doesn't work!"
"That means it's broken!"
"No, It just..." he let out a sigh as he rolled his eyes, feeling this argument was going nowhere, while arguing over who was to blame for their current situation was fun, he knew there were more urgent subjects to discuss, "Agnès, since the ball doesn't seem to be working"
"Because you broke it" she added, crossing her arms and glaring at him.
"Yeah yeah, doesn't matter right now, but what I'm trying to tell you is that we can't undo this right now, and it's late" he said as he looked at the half closed window blinds.
She followed his sight and as she noticed how late it was, she remembered something more important to her, "The test!" she yelled, her eyes growing wide as she took her hand to her head, tugging from Van's bluish hair.
"Uh? Test?" Van raised an eyebrow as he wonder what she meant.
"Tomorrow I have to take a very important test! We need to fix this right now!" Agnès yelled as she got up, searching for the ball in Van's backpack.
"Well I'll be glad to, but I'm not well versed in body swapping technology, and I have a hunch you're no expert either" he answered, shrugging his shoulders.
"What are you trying to say?" she asked, momentarily stopping the search, having a bad feeling about whatever she was about to say.
"I'm saying we should probably rest right now and try to fix this tomorrow"
"Oh no, there's no way I'm letting you running around in my body!" she shouted, placing her hands ok her hips as she frowned at him, in her own body that pose would have looked cute, in his body it just looked...odd to say the least.
"It's not like I enjoy this" he shrugged as he moved aside a long lock of blonde hair, doing so at seemingly every moment was becoming a tiring chore, there was also the little fact that he had shrunk, having to look at his own body acting like a kid was bad enough, but having to look up, inclining his neck upward, just made the experience event worse, the fact that his now long hair often fell on his face once against when he looked up was just salt on the wound, he sighed as he once again moved the locks falling on his face, "Look Agnès, there's nothing you can learn at Aramis that I can't teach you"
"I doubt that" she answered, her glare intensified as she crossed her arms.
"Oh come on, give me a chance, I've learned a lot working as a Spriggan, I'm sure I can pass some dumb test" he shrugged, "And remember it's really late and I have to wake up early to attend your fancy school, I might even miss your special test, and you wouldn't want that, would you?"
"Ugh, fine! But if I find out you touched anything I'll make you regret it" she yelled, pointing an accusatory finger at her friend.
"Alright alright, calm down Agnès, now if you excuse me I have to sleep, so see ya later!" Van said as he exited his office, starting to walk to Agnès' house.
"Wait! I don't want to sleep in this place!" the girl whined as she saw the office, was she supposed to sleep in the couch? And the window blinds would certainly let some light through as soon as morning came, depriving her of what little sleep she could have in this wretched place, no to mention she was in his body, just thinking about that last fact made her blush, but she shook her head from side to side as she attempted to ignore Van's features and try to get some sleep.

"Uh, I don't think I've ever been inside her house" Van told himself as he examined Agnès' purse, something that would have definitely had dire consequences if she saw him, but he tried not to think about that, since she had looked through his backpack it seemed only fair he'll get to do the same to her purse, so he just snatched her keys and continued walking.
The night was calm enough, no thugs seemed to want to cause any trouble tonight, something he really appreciated right now, since he thought he would have some issues dealing with anyone in his current position, the hair was annoying, yes, but the rest of Agnès' body wasn't that much better, the breeze flowing through his legs, teh tight belt around his waist, the coat and sweater weren't loose enough and that made him much more aware of his new...assets, which were heavier than be expected, and the boots were plain uncomfortable, how could she walk in those things?
"Ahhhh!" Van's question about his friend's footwear was validated when he didn't notice a tiny rock on his way, which he proceeded to step over which in turn made him fall flat faced to the ground, "I hate this dumb heels!" he muttered under his breath as he dusted off Agnès' clothes, once they found a way to swap back he was going to have a talk about her choice of clothing, he just hoped her uniform was more comfortable.
