Ai instinctively reached into her pockets for her yo-yos, but stopped half-way.

"Calm down, tiger," she said to herself. "You're at Beacon now. Just play it cool."

Ai took one yo-yo out of her pocket and gave it a few relaxing spins before putting it back. Whoever that guy was, he was a jerk, and a human, and those two things were generally synonymous. Ai turned around and bumped right into a fox-eared Faunus girl she thought she recognized. Of course, like everyone else, she was way taller, so Ai had to look straight up.

"Uh... hi. You're Signal, right?"
