The young dracon paused, not knowing what to make of that. He wanted to go after the halfling, but he really needed to get to class. 

Arjun made his way down to the classroom appropriate to his age group and found one of the little desks with a cushion for him to sit on. The orphanage didn't assign permanent seats, but in general the students picked and sat in roughly the same places. Leaning over, he felt a little twinge in his back, causing him to let out a very brief hiss. [i]Just growing pains.

Aurelian sat down near Nick, not too far from Arjun. Laura sat quite close to the elven girls.

"Say, Nick. Isn't that the headmaster's son?"

Jorn just kept silent, sitting cross-legged on the cushion. He saw that the assigned books were already laid out in front of the students on the desks, with bookmarks placed in the page they would be starting from this day. After quite a while, the teacher finally stepped forward, a female elf with a large tome. She put it down on a desk in front of the room.

"Alright, class. The lesson is now in session. Any and all conversations can and will have to wait."

Serapis had left his office and was in the process of asking teachers if they knew anything about the alleged cheating scandal.

Human-like ones, given the lack of claws clattering against the floor. He saw a young male halfling running down the corridor.

"Hold on there, youngling!" The headmaster positioned himself in front of the halfling. "What seems to be the trouble?"
