"..." Seth mulled over the fact that Vincent had already kissed Azalea. He didn't say anything as they were speaking to one another, choosing to listen to both of their words. Vince was getting so emotional to the point where he was almost mumbling underneath his breath and Seth couldn't quite hear what he was saying, he had to turn his ear towards him to pick up on his words. Once they had reappeared into the school, he took a moment to regain his breath and balance. "I'll never be used to inter-dimensional travel...I wasn't ever made for that." He muttered. Seth lead them to the second floor, to where the dining hall was. As they got closer, he could hear the laughter and excited buzz of people who were having a great time while eating with their friends. He wheeled about and faced his two companions, they both had tears in their eyes. Seth approached them and with a quiet comforting tone, he spoke. "Hey, c'mon guys. Let's just relax and have a good time while we're here. Forget about your emotional turmoils, forget about your master for now, and let everything go just for this hour. Now, for both of your guys' sake, I'm sitting in between the two of you so you guys can at least calm down. We can continue this later on, why don't we go in and tell jokes and maybe have a laugh or two over a bite of pizza and ice cream?" Seth pointed to the doors of the dining hall and shot a rather cheesy grin at them. "It's what friends do after all." With a deep breath, he entered the dining hall and paused, in awe of the number of people gathered in one area. It was huge! At the end of the hall, he saw the school staff seated at an ornate table perched on the top of some stairs. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, giving the place a grand look. Table were lined across the hall, and he could see that almost all of them were full with the exception of a table towards the center. He saw a familiar face with brunette hair. That was Sam! She appeared to be having in a conversation with another first year and they both looked pretty animated about it. There were five empty seats that weren't quite adjacent to her, but at least close enough to talk to her if he so desired. He turned to his companions and silently gestured to the empty seats before walking over to the table. He seated himself diagonally from a brown haired, green eyed girl and she seemed to be almost cuddling up to a gray haired student to her left, both enjoying themselves with a rather tasty looking pasta. Just a seat over to the right of him and seated across from the gray haired student, there was a rather dark looking character. You could almost see shadows flitting around him once in a while if you paid enough attention. He made sure to leave room for his two friends and he turned to them, patting the seats on either side of him. -- School Dean Mr. Sean adjusted his glasses as he peered across the room, surveying the mass of students before him. He grinned to himself in anticipation of the year to come. This year, things would change and he would be at the fore of this wave of change that was to come. The headmaster was sure to make his speech soon as most of the students appeared to be in their seats already. Everything would come to him in due time, it was just a matter of patience now. The dominoes were already set and whenever the time was right, he'd knock the first one down and the rest would fall.
