Ruby didn't know what to think when she was told that she had just about been paired up with the wrong person. Loke didn't look like a bad person at all but the school apparently didn't think they would be compatible. Well...that was fine they would be getting with their approved partners soon. And soon it was, it only took a few minutes for the other mixed up pair to arrive. It was interesting position to be in for Ruby as she watched the (surprisingly simple) unbinding ceremony take place. One of these two had to be her partner and yet Ruby had no way of knowing just by looking at them. Maybe if Ruby knew them personally she could hazard a guess but as it was she only vaguely recognized one and was pretty sure she never saw the other one around before. Thankfully she didn't have to think too hard about which one of them it could be for too long. The ceremony was over shortly and she and the one called Samuel were being called up to be bonded.

Ruby walked up to them, giving an awkward smile. "Um, hi there," she said as she handed the druid her hand and let them take over the ceremony. It didn't take long and...honestly it didn't feel that special...maybe because it was in an empty classroom by themselves and not in the sun room in front of a crowd that made it feel that way. Like the process itself was special, Ruby knew that and knew that the meaning of bonding was special too, but it also felt like part of the moment was lost. But it was fine, she was just happy to be bonded now and in a way she kind of preferred the small location this all happened in. Though she also wished she hadn't been up on the stage when they realized their mistake but these things happened. It was probably worse for Samuel and the boy he was originally partnered with anyways seeing how they had already been bonded.

Once the ceremony was over, they were apologized to again and told they were going to be lead to their new room now. "It's alright, these things happen I suppose." She told the apologetic druid and turned to her new partner as they waited for the volunteer. "um...it's um, good to have you as a partner now..." Ruby said, unsure of what to say now. It was a little awkward with the other pair getting bonded behind them. "I hope we work well together." Ruby never claimed she wasn't awkward as heck.
