"It's alright if you're nervous." Drew said to Ling, standing up straight and speaking out loud to show a bit of solidarity. "Gods know that any sane being would be." It was a simple gesture, but he thought it would at least be worth something. Or he hoped so. "Anyway, I guess that means I'm next. Drew Hidalgo. Storms Adept." With that, he returned to silence and slumped back down. He said what was needed, time to let the others get their introductions out of the way.

He now tried to get a better handle on who was here. There was the Nightshade girl, who seemed different than the others he had run across. He could recognize Eve and Nataly from the courses teaching the basics of their element, though he was unsure if they'd remember him. Of course he recognized the Master, but the rest were all new to him. Some of them seemed interesting, but he was going to avoid making any sort of judgement about them without actually getting to know them. He used to do that during his earlier years at the academy, and he was trying to stop doing that to be a little more sociable.
