The soft scuff of worn boots across the cobbled pathway tentatively announced the arrival of another student to the Academia's entrance. Making such noise wasn't necessary by any means for the deceased, but Mar felt more comfortable with evidence of his existence. He looked up at the gate as he approached, and then around the surrounding area, wracking his memory. This was the place he'd heard about, right? He knew schools had far more students these days than what he was used to, but he hadn't seen very many people yet.

Fidgeting with a button on his faded flannel shirt, Mar continued forward through the gate, a hint of relief easing the tension in his shoulders when he noticed someone ahead of him - another student, hopefully?

Mar almost forgot to run, floating more easily up to the blond with a pleasant smile on his face and bringing the scent of wild mint with his approach. "Hello there! Are you going to go to school here too? My name is Mar," he introduced, babbling slightly as he held a hand out in greeting.
