They peered out into the hall. The floor seemed to tilt, the walls to closer for comfort. Just.. Just get down the stairs. It's not that bad; just cramped and trapped and- they shook they're head, auburn hairs waving back into place. I don't the other to see me... Struggle. they inhaled sharply, closing their eyes. One step forward. Two steps. They were in the hall. Three step. Four step. They were nearly at the stairs. The other students were rustling in their dorms, getting ready. The felt quite self conscious, bolting the rest of the way and thundering down the stairs. It was a relief to be in the far more spacious lounge. They exhaled, leaning against a stair railing. They looked up, noticing a kind looking woman standing in the entrance of the room. She smiled at them, but Aybis could sense that something was troubling her. They moved quietly into the center of the room, taking a seat by the window. Now, to wait. |

Callie frowned slightly as her companion winced, "You okay, love?" She asked, while taking the bit out of Dragonfly's mouth. She didn't feel the soreness currently, but she knew she would after a good nights' sleep. The downsides of sleeping in a good bed after riding. It made you comfy but as soon as you slept in it, bam, pain from the past three years. She took the food from Ida with a word of thanks, placing the food next to the rock just in case and sitting across from the other spy. The noble smiled as Aesira's head drooped, clearly content for now. Her steed moved to stand next to the mare, nudging her slightly before shaking his mane out and closing his eyes. His lip fluttered as he let out a burst of air, nibbling at the grass tiredly. Calliope nodded, "of course she is. The woman's a saint. I've never met a more motherly woman." She replied, affection lacing her tone. Nikita had always been like a mother to her, in the short amount of time she had known the woman. She had immediately accepted the red-head in with open arms, something no one had ever done for her before besides Ida and the headmasters. "Right, let's dig in, darling." ♤ Evangeline Avalonia ♤ Evangeline stood as soon as she heard the voice of an older woman, making her way out of her room and noticing Aybis running down the stairs. She frowned, but wrote it off as nothing serious. She jogged down the stairs as fast as she could without falling, dipping her head to the woman and sitting down. The scars on her back were itching extremely bad today, and she knew she shouldn't itch them, but she did it anyway. She sighed in relief, even though she recognized that they were probably bleeding again. Thank the Gods that I never wear white. She thought, smirking to herself. The girl watched as more of the students filtered into the room, her leg jerking up and down as she watched them. She didn't know why she did it, it was kind of a habit that she'd been doing for so long she just didn't care anymore so she forgot the reason for it. |

Caisin lay sprawled on the bed in his dorm, he had chosen the one at the end of the short hallway, just to the left. It was larger than his room at home but still cozy, and it also happened to have a window that he could peer out of occasionally. He loved listening to all the noises that accompanied the night. He was laying on his belly, studying a detailed picture in one of the navigation books he had picked up from the classroom; eagerly reading the scrawled handwritten notes that spotted the pages. It had taken him just a few moments to get settled, not having brought much stuff from home. Some farewell notes from his parents, spare clothing, various trinkets he had found or collected throughout his childhood, his various hunting gear, and of course his hunting bow. He had carefully wrapped the blackstained bow in a spare blanket, along with a new quiver of arrows, and safely tucked them under the bed. Having already visited the caverns, and with nothing else planned for the day, he could finally relax and think back on all the past events, and what might come in the future. It was the silence alone with his thoughts that suddenly sparked the guilt he had been forcing down from the first moment he left his home. He tried to reassure himself that everything would be fine, it would work out. They didnt need to know… and he didnt need to tell them yet. It was just a small lie right? They didnt need to know the specifics, they'd just worry unnecessarily… Caisin kept trying to justify it to himself in his mind, but the bad feeling still stuck in his gut. Suddenly no longer interested in looking at the map, he let out a depressed sigh before closing the book with a snap, opting to sit cross legged on the bed instead, ruminating on everything. He missed his parents already he realized sullenly. It was a boom of a door shutting downstairs that lifted him from his thoughts. He could hear someone yelling. From the inflection of the voice, it sounded like they were calling. Maybe he should go downstairs and check if they needed the students again. Maybe to finish the rest of the tour? That was why they cut it short a little while ago right? They must have just forgotten to prepare a part of it before we got here most likely. He hurriedly hopped off the bed and quickly ran downstairs. He was expecting to meet one of the three headmasters but was a little surprised to instead see an older lady standing in the hall. Not wanting to seem rude by asking who she was, he instead sat on one of the chairs in the lounge area, watching everyone else from upstairs slowly trickle in. They didn't have to wait long before she announced they'd be heading over to the dining area. Oh, apparently this isnt the actual kitchen? Maybe its just an extra one. Caisin thought, confused, shaking his head again, as he seemed to often do. He didnt think too much on it, the mention of food seemed to wake his stomach up, reminding him that he was in fact, very very hungry. Wondering what food they'd be serving, as he followed the lady, he briefly glanced up to see one of the wyvern playing around in the air, gracefully swooping around. Giving another excited grin at seeing a dragon, he hurried off to keep pace with all the others. They had all gathered in the dining area, this one looking quite a bit more like a proper dining place than the kitchen upstairs. He sat himself at a table closest to the serving area. He spotted the stablehand already here, eating what looked like some type of soup or stew. If what the cook said was right, he had a little while to burn off before the food was actually served, unfortunately for his hungry stomach. He took the time to look at all the other students more closely again. Tapping the table nervously, he figured if he was going to get comfortable here in the school, he better get more familiar with everyone he'd be living with for a good long while. Giving the table one last nervous tap, he stood up. Who should he talk to? Kyle? No he's busy eating, hes not gonna want to talk. Maybe that girl i saw when i first came in? Or the one with the bird? Oh, I dont know any of their names. He realized, suddenly a little embarrassed. He eventually picked the one who seemed the most mysterious to him. Better to get the scariest one out of the way first. Gosh shes so much older than me, will she even want to talk? Well guess its time to find out. He thought as he wrung his hands together to get rid of the anxious energy. Walking up to her, he lightly tapped her shoulder. "Uh hi, umm I'm Caisin. I, uh, i came here this morning. Your the one with the bird right? I saw you up on the hill earlier today. What's your name?" He asked as he tried to give his best attempt at a non-anxious smile which he no doubt could tell he was already failing at. (@Sakura He's talking to Nyx  )

Both human and bird perked up at the mention of food. Sage cawed loudly, and Nyx allowed her to hop up to her forearm guards. The moment they left the building, Nyx swung her arm out, making the falcon leave off to the mountains. She'd be back soon, no doubt. As the woman talked about the wyvern, Nyx looked up. Neha was up there, seeming to play with something. At first, she dismissed it, but then her gaze sharpened. It was like Sage, playing with a dazed rabbit. Was that a body!? Her grip tightened on the book in her hands. She tore her gaze away, noticing she was getting left behind. Once they reached the dining room Nyx sighed. Interact with your fellow students. How hard can that be? Or she could just avoid them. She had taken one step towards the corner before someone tapped her on the shoulder. Defenses rose in a snap, and she whirled around, fingers reaching for an arrow that was not there. Kids. Just the kid. Her green eyes appraised him. Studied him. "...Nyx. Yes, the bird" a small sigh at the word, "is my partner, Sage. She's a peregrine falcon." It seemed like a well-rehearsed speech because it was. It was the same thing she told the nobles they performed for. There was more to it. Falconer under Corvus. Honor to perform. Would they ever perform again? It seemed unlikely. "What about you?" A soft tilt of her head accompanied the question. |

Relieved at the initial ice break and at least hearing her respond rather than brushing him off as he feared, he gave an inward sigh of relief. "Oh a falcon, cool!" He exclaimed. "I sometimes see falcons and eagles on my hunting trips with my dad, but never up close really. I love birds of prey. They're just so fast. Ive always loved the idea of flying!" he beamed, before realizing he might be rambling. "But anyways" He chuckled nervously, shifting around on his feet. "I live with my mom and dad on our farm. Well… used to I guess.. " He grew quiet as his voice died down thinking about them again. "But I bet ill see them again in no time!" Caisin piped up again, trying to dispel any homesickness he was getting. "Anyways, what type of dragon do you think you might get?" He asked, lighting up at the thought of dragons again. |

Kyle glanced up from his meal as Nikita drew near, giving a hum of comprehension as she spoke, before she headed off out of the dining hall. He'd exchanged a few words with her every now and then in passing, usually at mealtimes, and he'd determined that she seemed nice enough. He wanted to say the kindly woman reminded him of his mother, but.. that wasn't really true. Nevermind that though- overall he had decided it was best to try and stay on Nikita's good side. After all, the cook was surely the last person one would want to anger. Some minutes passed, then a hustle of movement sounded from the hallway beyond. He peered over his shoulder as Nikita had returned, escorting the students in through the doorway. He eyed them, faces now more familiar, but was content to leave them to gather amongst themselves. He puffed out a soft sigh, propping up his head by resting his chin in the palm of his hand. Today hadn't been filled with near as much physical work as days previously, yet still Kyle couldn't help but feel awfully tired. A bit moody, really. He'd done a lot thinking today, maybe that was it. Now that he'd been given free reign for the rest of the evening, he itched to scurry away, find some crevice to tuck himself away in and work on some wayward hobby. His woodcarving could use some work.. He wasn't much of an artist, but he just enjoyed having something to do with his hands. Out of the corner of his eye, he idly watched the students as they started to approach one another, starting up some light conversation. The girl with dark hair and an intimidating sort of air, and the tall, blue eyed boy who, Kyle recalled, had seemed to waver when the group had looked over the ledge in the cavern. Hmph, they all really were a curious bunch. He picked at his stew, the bowl almost empty by now. Might as well make his way out soon, but in the meantime, a little eavesdropping never hurt anyone, eh? |
