[i]"I'm Conner, but you can call me Heron if you want. So uh..."[/i] He looked around, confused. [i]"If this is the principal's OFFICE, and people are being called down here, then where is the principal. In fact, where's anybody?"[/i] A shiver went down his spine. [i]"Creepy."[/i]

Alois nodded furiously in agreement. 

[i]"Creepy indeed."[/i]

[i] There's definitely something wrong about this school, but I'll brush it off for now- [/i]

Alois grinned at the girl's response. 

[i]"Kirra, huh? That's a cool name you've got there. Oh and- posh?"[/i] his grin widened, [i]"It's merely a way of making a good first impression. Since I assume we're all new here, it's natural for one to want to get along well with their peers- right?" [/i]he finished light-heartedly, while taking a few steps back to get a good look at all the students present within the room. A girl with very light-pink hair had seemed to made her way inside without him noticing, Alois sighed.

[i] I'm gonna have to learn their names instead of distinguishing them from each-other by their hair colour... [/i] Alois noted.

Scanning Kirra up and down, he noticed an expression on her face that showed she hasn't really determined whether Alois was a friend or foe yet. Sensing her uneasiness, he flashed her a smile, hoping to himself that that would somehow get him on her good side. After all, school had only begun- he wasn't in the mood for making any enemies.

He watched Kirra turn to the heron-boy.

"Hi."

At this point, Alois was starting to feel uneasy. His dark-haired pursuer who had roughly shaken Alois up earlier still hasn't said anything, in fact he hasn't moved for the past ten minutes the introductions were being exchanged. [i] Was he momentarily possessed by a malicious entity a moment before? Is he out of it right now because his body was just taken over by a spirit and is currently having his soul inserted back into where it belongs? IS THIS OFFICE HAUNTED?![/i]

Overwhelmed by such thoughts, he leaned on the chair beside him for support and rubbed his temples.

Suspicious and curious as to why the boy was acting the way he was, he folded his arms and resumed watching him from the corner of his eye once again.
