Liz's smile brightened with relief as Joseph accepted her hand in greeting, seeming in no way put off by her elitist comment. She promised to herself that she would be more careful going forward, but already it seemed like the two might get along well. After releasing her hand, Joey proceeded to go on a slight tangent, stumbling over himself in his excitement. Several times he ended up repeating the same phrase, one she had to struggle to keep from laughing while he was speaking. He wasn't wrong, she was more than used to her current surroundings as were the vast majority of her vampire classmates. But it seemed this fact got the better of the excited and curious mind.

As Joey's thoughts shifted to apology, Liz couldn't contain her laughter anymore as the sound escaped in a light and airy chime. "[color=ec008c]I suppose it is.[/color]" She spoke, feeling a lot more comfortable now. "[color=ec008c]Most of us find mansion life quite comfortable, however you will find a handful of the elder families still living in actual castles... So you're not all that far off.[/color]" She beamed widely before her smile softened, her eyes saddening for a brief moment. "[color=ec008c]I wouldn't mind seeing the sun someday, it sounds beautiful. You humans certainly are lucky.[/color]" She said wistfully before shaking her head and hugging onto Joey's right arm. "[color=ec008c]But enough with the introductions, you want to see the living quarters! We have the address, I'm sure there are aids standing about to help us find out way.[/color]" 

Forgetting to await a response, Liz began tugging on Joey's arm in the direction that she wanted to walk in. It wasn't as if she had any idea of where she was headed, but it seemed most of the other student pairs were headed in the same direction so she figured it must have been the right one. She found herself thinking that it would be wise to get her hands on a map as she would more than likely get lost on the daily, the campus was just so expansive. People weren't kidding when they referred to it as its own town, as it very much was. Aside from the education facilities and the dorm houses, which were large in their own right, the grounds were home to various cafes, small little shops, and plenty of extracurricular activities to keep the energetic entertained.

"[color=ec008c]I wonder if they'll be supplying an allowance to spend at some of these places. I hope so, I'm in need of some new art supplies.[/color]" Liz commented, already staring off into space.

This wasn't anything out of the ordinary for Michael, in fact he hardly paid any attention to the festivities at all. Instead he focused on socializing as was customary in his familiar circle. There were several faces he was already acquainted with, swinging by to greet them. By the time the princess had made her appearance, Michael was joking around with a group of guys and had been stalking the group for any attractive females he might be interested in hunting. Naturally all of the vampires in attendance were up to par, but that wasn't quite what he was after. Nothing gave a better rush than the thrill of chasing down a creature as fragile as a human. Sure, the mages had magic on their side, but most of them were inexperienced with their element, which meant if he could take them off guard he would have no problem subduing them.

Or at least that's where his head was at while Zaria was making her speech. The man listened carefully to her instructions even though it might not have looked as such, his eyes wandering every inch of her porcelain body. The image of absolute perfection, one he wouldn't mind getting his hands on for himself... Mike was realistic, however, knowing full well that he would never get within a hundred feet of the woman with all of the security she lugged around. Sighing, his attention turned to the paper in his hands, praying to the gods that the picture on the inside would be that of some cute girl he would get to toy with for the entire time they were at school. Flicking it open, he found himself squinting at it in confusion. The picture wasn't very telling, as the short hair and youthful features could belong to one or the other. And the name didn't really help either, leaving him with more questions than answered.

Grumbling to himself, he waved farewell to his conversation partners so that they might venture off to find their own partners. A motion caught his attention out of the corner of his eye, a small creature approaching him. There was something odd about this creature though, as it wasn't exactly... alive. Made of water, it took on the form of a cat and was staring directly at him. Creeped out by this, Michael made to shoo it away, kicking at it with his foot. He should have known that it wouldn't have done any good, but his hope had been to dispel the magic.

Needless to say, it didn't really work. The cat reformed itself and Mike was left with a single, dripping shoe. Still staring at him, Mike frowned and stared back. "[color=a0410d]Well? What do you want?[/color]" He snapped, watching as it began its retreat, stopped and turned back around. Michael hesitated but ultimately decided to follow the creature back to what he could only assume was its source. Yet again, Michael found himself confused. Even in person his partner didn't have any defining features that would hint at any one particular gender. Unable to hide his annoyance, Mike looked down (quite literally) at the mage before him. 

"[color=a0410d]River right?[/color]" He asked curtly, staring down the kid with a whole other level of intensity.
