Asthia, still feeling confused, looked at Lyren. "Well, this is certainly a novel experience. I can't say I've seen an elemental in a long while, but I've read a great deal about your people." The dracon had read through old tomes, mostly bought second-hand. Her training with magic was haphazard at best, having been given a tutor here, a lesson there, and a number of self-taught techniques and spells. Fortunately, Asthia's status as a sorceress meant that her magic was inborn and that control, not the basics, was what she had mostly come to study. Once she had mastered control of her magic, she could continue her studies by herself, although she could learn a great deal more if she stayed at the academy for a longer time. 

"So, did I ask you your name?" she queried, looking at the elemental straight in the eye. She could see water coming from him, almost sweating magical energy.

Once she had finished with him, she would follow Slyph into the school, hoping to find someone who could direct her to a dorm, assign her classes, or at least acknowledge her having arrived.
