The shapeshifter tried to appear as calm as possible as Lily greeted him back, the fact she'd recognised him made him instantly want to hug her. He refrained from doing so...barely...besides he was older now, more mature, adults didn't randomly squeeze the life out of someone with a bear hug...at least he didn't think they did. [color=red]"I wasn't far off"[/color] He replied, turning towards her as he shifted his weight from one foot to the other. 

Tapping his toe against the ground, one of his hands slid up to rub the back of his neck. He smiled at Lily as she considerately gave him a way to escape her question. [color=red]"I don't mind, I've been travelling mostly...spending time here and there. Learnt a few new tricks"[/color] He answered her, trying to keep the guilt from his face as she continued on. [color=red]"It looks amazing!"[/color] He exclaimed a little louder than he meant, unable to contain the sudden rush of excitement that passed through him. Clearing his throat he murmured [color=red]"Sorry"[/color] before looking out over the school hoping she wouldn't notice the flush of embarrassment in his cheeks [color=red]"Its clear you all put a lot of time and energy into this place"[/color] He told her, unable to keep the smile from his face even if he was embarrassed. He was also particularly happy to hear Carmen was here as well! As well as Maria and Criston, after the fall of the first academy he'd scarcely believed he'd see any of them again. 

[color=red]"I am indeed a student as strange as that sounds"[/color] He answered her, before rubbing the back of his neck and giving her a sheepish grin. [color=red]"Well...if you mean accidentally scaring another student and getting myself blasted out of a window as trouble...then yes, I'm afraid I have"[/color] He admitted. [color=red]"I promise I haven't broken anything..."[/color] He assured her though he missed off the 'yet' part. [color=red]"Are you here as a student as well?"[/color] He asked.

Rain tensed up as the girl bumped into her side, more so from shock than anything else. She turned her head and blinked down at the girl with a raised eyebrow, noting how the girl kept her head low as she retreated. [color=lightseagreen][i]'Submission?'[/i][/color] The werewolf thought, tilting her head to the side as the girls glasses slid from her face and dropped onto the floor with a light tap. 

Her ears twitched as the girl spoke and bowed, she opened her mouth to say something but the words didn't form. She could tell the dark haired girl was anxious, it was present in her every move, seeming to cling to the air. [color=lightseagreen][i]'How do I...'[/i][/color] She wondered, she wasn't used to other people let alone anxious ones. The werewolf relaxed her frame after a moment and softened her expression so she didn't appear as intimidating [color=lightseagreen][i]'That's not going to be enough is it? Okay, you can do this. Prove that you're not just a Neanderthal'[/i][/color] with that in mind she opened her mouth again [color=skyblue]"Don't worry about it"[/color] She told her, he voice was naturally  dropping her gaze to the floor, she crouched down in front of Aurelia and scooped up the girls glasses. [color=skyblue]"It's partially my fault, I wasn't looking where I was going"[/color] She added, holding out the glasses for Aurelia to take as she peered up into her face. 

Providing the girl took the glasses out of her hand, the werewolf quickly stood back up, glancing at the other people in the hallway as she tried to think of something else to say. [color=skyblue]"You looked like you were in a hurry...I mean, where were you heading?...no that's not it[sub]...Makers breath[/sub]"[/color] Rain covered her eyes with her hand and huffed, clearly annoyed with herself. [color=lightseagreen][i]'That's not right...What am I even trying to say?'[/i][/color] She thought to herself, angry with her lack of charisma. After a moment, she took her hand away from her face, holding it in front of her for hesitantly. She seemed torn between extending it towards the girl and simply pulling it back to her side. [color=skyblue]"I'm Rain...kind of new around here, if you hadn't already guessed"[/color] She introduced herself, still holding her hand awkwardly in front of her and silently thinking she probably should have just opened with that, instead of focusing on where the girl was heading.
