Elizabeth is glad that she doesn't have to contend with silence to start with, that's for sure! With a smile which beams gleefully a hint of unprofessional thinking, Elizabeth nods firmly as the students express curiosity. Thankfully these were both question she could answer, as she considers herself still relatively inexperienced in terms of teaching at Mrs. Tohru's academy. [i]'Right. You can do this, Elizabeth!'[/i] Clearing her throat, the young woman regards Arden with a pleasant smile. His change in demeanor leaves her surprised, but nonetheless happy at his extroverted nature. "We will be getting to the dorms soon, Arden. I can tell you now that break-time will be held at twelve, which students may also use for their own purposes, assuming it remains on school grounds and doesn't break any rules. As for club activities..." Elizabeth pauses as her index finger is brought to her chin in thought, before perking up as though she stumbles upon a revelation. "We may not have any clubs technically, Nakana, however that doesn't mean you cannot pursue your own extracurricular activities. As mentioned earlier, lunch time -- as well as after school -- are both good times to participate in such activities; I hope you can all find something other than magic which catches your interest! After all, we must still prepare you for life outside of this school, so perhaps a club wouldn't be such a bad idea." With both questions out of the way, Elizabeth takes a step backwards towards the school, beckoning the students to follow. "Please, follow me into the school! I wouldn't want to keep you all out here in the heat, and I'm sure you're anxious to see what awaits inside. I'm sure it will be quite the surprise." She couldn't help but giggle to herself, perhaps prompting that there may be something inside the school they wouldn't expect. As they walk up to the door, Elizabeth adds: "Oh, and feel free to ask any questions at any time! I'll do what I can to answer them!" As Elizabeth reaches the front door she stands beside it with a giddy expression. "This is always my favourite part of the academy! Especially the first time!"

From the outside the place looks deserted - cobwebs soil the ceiling and walls, and dirt tracks the broken floorboards. Paint and wallpaper has been pealed off within, and furniture and what appears to be in a kitchen within look not only disgusting, but terribly unsanitary. Elizabeth's expression does not change, however, and from her pocket she reveals a golden key, radiating with a mystical aura. "As much as I'd like to show you myself, I believe it would be best to have one of you open it! Any volunteers?"
