[b]Leith Calder[/b]

Leith was dead on his feet. When he had left for the College (for the second time), his insomnia had started up again. He was certain that there were bags under his eyes. The buzzing in his head never relented, and had cost him his sleep several times over the past five years. He smiled to himself. It had been five years since he originally started out for the College, and even though he just arrived, he was glad that he made it. There were more people gathered outside the gates than he had been around in a long time. He had asked around about what time the gates would, and when he heard that it would be at noon, he nodded. [i]It'll be a few hours yet,[/i] he thought to himself as he rubbed his eyes. He played with the clasp on his cloak.

And blinked.

When he looked back up, everyone was filing through the gates. A small "huh?" left his mouth before he hurried after the group. He was the last one through the gates before they were closed. Someone started speaking, and Leith looked over the crowd to see an Esyire addressing everybody. Leith nodded as he listened. [i]So he's the Headmaster. Good to know.[/i] As he slowly made his way towards the middle of the crowd, he noticed someone displaying the oh-so-familiar signs of trying to stay awake. He smiled and made his way over to the red haired girl. 

Leith paused for a moment when the Esyire, who called himself Khan, asked if there were any questions. Leith didn't have any questions, so he continued to walk towards the girl. He stood beside her and gave a tired sigh. The buzzing in his head seemed to get louder when he got tired, which kept him awake at night. He took off his hood and looked at her. 

"So, how long have you been awake? It's been about three days for me." He smiled at her, and then frowned. "Not exactly the greatest thing to start with, was it? Let me try that again. Hello, my name Is Leith."
