Meruin barely flinched when the gunshot rang out; it could be said that she was hardly paying attention to what was goin on around her. So far, none of the students had caught her interest with their introductions. They were either people like her, or otherwise relatively normal kids, despite their abilities.

And that was when Arcadius stepped on stage.

The man himself was nothing special in Meruin's eyes - just another mage in an academy of mages, albeit he certainly felt more potent than the rest.

His family was also of little interest. Coming from a long line of Mages meant nothing to her - Master Reina and Lady Chase had already conditioned her against the thought that bloodlines mean everything. She did note however, that she did indeed know the name of his father. Master Reina mentioned him among a list of prominent new bloods.

Whatever the case, none of that held her interest. What [i]did[/i] catch her attention, was the mention of a Grimoire. His Grimoire.

His [i]family's[/i] Grimoire. 

Grimoire's were the souls of their wielders. The repository for all their knowledge and power. Following that logic, a Family Grimoire was more than the sum of a single person. It was the combined  total of their history. No, it was their history.

Meruin was practically salivating by this point. Just think of the knowledge she could gain if she could get even a small look at that book. It would help immensely with the development of her own Grimoire.

Unfortunately, she knew just how private a thing a Grimoire was. It would probably be next to impossible to convince him to let her see anything. 

Still, it wouldn't hurt to be his aquaintance; even passing knowledge is knowledge gained, when all is said and done.

With that in mind, the drowzy little mage walked towards Arcadius. Once in front of hin, she paused, realizing she didn't really know what to say to him.

Deciding to not overthink it, Meruin gave a lazy wave.

"Hello."
