It was sorta amusing for Arara, as her classmates responded to her conversation-starting question, and then Alistair arriving with pretty much the same question. [b]“Good morning, Alistair. I like how you've pretty much paraphrased my question, but then again, seems like there's not much else to talk about this morning.”[/b]

After all, even after a night of eating together, she has yet to discover any 'good' topics to talk to others about. She'll have to work on that during classes then. At least, if the entrance exam was going to be anything THAT hard, Arara wasn't going to expect to have spare time to chat leisurely about non-combat topics. Nodding slightly as Orion went by, apparently wishing for solitude before the test began, the heiress let the Armstrong boy off without a word. All things considered, she should be focusing her mind for the exams as well, but there simply wasn't any tension in the air. It didn't really make her FEEL like exerting herself for this exam.

Turning to a new arrival, this time a boy that she didn't notice, and had the commonsense to say his full name, even though he did seem rather eager to please, Arara decided that this Isaac was most likely someone who wanted to be friendly, and thus, reciprocated his eagerness. With a small curtsy, tilting her spear to the side, she said,[b] “Greetings, Isaac. You may address me as Lady Arara Sakanade, and in regards to the upcoming examination, I'm fairly certain that it'll be a combat-centric exam that involves the retrieval of a particular item in the examination area. At least, that was the format last year. It may have changed due to the Headmaster also changing though.”[/b]
