[Nico & Jace] As the pair left the dorm, Nico started to run through the definitions of his word in his head. [i]Standard fire breathing winged beast....probably could do dragons from MTG if I can get a clear image of it in my mind....[/i] Jace, trailing slightly, kept observing the surroundings as they made their way to the cafeteria. [i]Maybe we should keep growing this group and if necessary, cut a deal with Gideon and try to avoid unneeded loss of life between the eclipse fights[/i] Jace thought, running through possible plans to survive the year. After a little time, Jace decided to voice the first part of his idea. “Nico, maybe we should try to get a few more people working with us instead of on their own, better chance of surviving.” [i]Hm, that makes sense.....[/i] Nico pondered “ Yes, better chances at survival.” Jace noticed someone ahead of them. “Want to start now?” He asked “Might as well, just don’t force the issue, don’t want to make enemies if we can help it.” The pair picked up the pace a bit to catch up the the student ahead of them. [hr] [Katie] As she made her way to the cafeteria,Katie heard footsteps behind her. [i]Oh god, please, not on the first day[/i] Katie prayed, shuddering at the thought of repeating everything she had been on the receiving end of again. She snuck a glance off to one side and noticed two boys closing distance quickly. [i]Well, I can turn things around if this is what I think it will be[/i] [hr] [Nico & Jace & Katie] Nico and Jace caught up with the student after a little bit. “Hi, I’m Jace.” Jace introduced himself, keeping a friendly tone in his voice. “I’m Nico.” Nico added, calmly. “Hello, I’m Katie.” Katie said, shakily. [i]So far so good.[/i] “Going to the cafeteria?” Jace asked politely. “Ye..Yes” Katie stuttered out, surprised at how nice Jace was acting. “Want to go with us?” Jace asked. “At least until we get there.” “Sure.” Katie said, finding confidence in herself. The three continued on to the cafeteria, talking about everything that had happened thus far in the day.
