As Ssarak approached, he shook the hand of the Half-Esyire, Aruna, returning her smile. "Likewise. My name is Ssarak Dyreackthanose, and I would be happy to accompany you to the dormitories. I myself am eager to find my room, though I admit I am not familiar with how they will be assigned, or if we will select them ourselves." Ssarak said just before the swarm of bats appeared before them. At first, he was confused, but once they formed themselves into a woman, a vampire, Ssarak was immediately on edge. Like many across the world, Ssarak had always been taught that vampires were pernicious and deadly creatures, ones who ended the lives of others to sustain themselves. With Khan's speech about harming others fresh on his mind, however, Ssarak remained still, waiting to see the Headmaster's response. After a few moments, the vampire introduced herself as the alchemy professor at the College, something that came as a shock to several in the crowd, including Ssarak. While Ssarak was unsettled, he could accept it. He had found that so much was different outside his homeland that there was little to which he could not adapt.

Once the vampire, Lucilia, started off on her tour, Ssarak returned his attention to Aruna. "Well, at any rate, shall we be off?"
