"I'll investigate." Serapis angrily approached Arjun. "Son!" 

The young dracon looked up at his father, suddenly feeling very small." Y-yes, dad?"

"Did you have anything to do with this-this... atrocity?!" 

"No, dad! I swear it! I-I don't know who did it, but it might have been a bunch of female elves. I think I saw a few of them moving away as a group just before the food went crazy!" 

He thought about it for a moment. "Very well, but if we find out that you had something to do with it, you're going to have to be like the rest of the children here for a month." 

Serapis turned back to Thayva, and Arjun let out a sigh of relief as he ran to join the other students in their physical training.

"I don't think he did anything, love."

Aurelian and the other males went their own way, separate from the females. Although some activities allowed for overlap, running laps was not one of them. He had already removed his shirt, which was an option about half of the human or human-like males chose to do for physical training. Jorn kept his shirt on, not wanting to compare his small halfling musculature to those of the larger races.
