Raccoon had warned Kwes that someone was not too far away from approaching him and Kwes took the extra time before Benjamin caught up to him to finish and then dispose of the cigarette he had been smoking. It was a nasty habit that he knew he should probably quit one day but today was not that day. Kwes was pleasantly surprised that it was Benjamin that had caught him however. He was one of the friendlier faces around KingsRidge and a fellow House Luna member. While he certainly wasn't exciting nor spontaneous like the other bubbly characters that attended this institution, Kwes appreciated his company. "Ah, Benjamin. It's good to see you again as well," Kwes smiled and shook his hand as he Raccoon climbed back inside of his backpack. While Familiars were a common sight among the Academy, Raccoon had no extraordinary defining features that made him stand out from regular raccoons so Kwes preferred him to stay out of sight so he wouldn't be mistaken for a common rodent. "My summer was eventful but I'm more interested in hearing how yours went." Which was true, Kwes didn't like talking about his personal life out of habit and preferred listening to other people's stories. As the duo entered the cafeteria, a flash of blond curly hair bouncing struck the corner of his eye. "Looks like Rylan beat us here." She was already surrounded by a posse of her followers however so Kwes grabbed a cup of breakfast coffee and an inordinately large muffin before sitting down a few tables down from Rylan. "So, tell me about India. Did you get to meet Aladdin?"
