For a solid moment Emily stared at the singed flank, the gears in her brain quietly turning as she attempted to make the connection. Then it hit her, and she smiled sheepishly. "Oh, right. You noticed that? Yeah, sorry, I was in a hurry." As if that excused everything she then continued, responding to Elidh's answers before giving any of her own. "Wait, you never been beat up in your life? You must not get into a lot of fights, then." Emily cast a quick eye over the armoured lower horse body. She'd never really messed with horses, being more of a city person, but it wasn't hard to imagine the unfortunate consequences of getting kicked by those hooves. Perhaps she should watch out when teasing her. Then again, caution had never been her strong suit, and the thought was gone almost as soon as it appeared. "And music isn't really a hobby, now is it? Not really." It seemed this answer had not satisfied her. In truth Emily had been hoping for someone who matched her appetite for 'fun', of the kind that usually only she could appreciate, but she supposed at least she hadn't gotten an entirely boring person as her roommate.

"Oh, and my story? Well, I suppose I don't really have much of one. Or lots of little ones. I'm a Raiju, which I suppose is asian for lightning monster, but I was born over England, so I really wouldn't know. Dropped out of a stormcloud, stole some clothes, and then went around doing whatever I want. Never really met my parents, not even sure if I have any." Emily shrugged at this. Often stating this had elicited pity, which she then mercilessly exploited, but she really wasn't missing much by her measure. Never knew what to miss, although what she'd seen of parents was profoundly underwhelming. "So I spent a while going around the countryside, having fun, till I met this other Raiju fellow. Just walked straight into my life, beat the snot out of me for nooooooooooooo reason, and sent me to school. Turns out he's even paying for my stay here, hell if I know why. Asked but he didn't talk much, seemed to be more of the 'disapproving stare' type, you know?" Sighing, Emily rolled her eyes.

"In any case, I was here for a short bit at the end of last year, so I have some idea of where everything is." An impish smile filled her face as she continued. "I'm sure I could show you around, show you were all the neat spots are. Or at least all the neat spots I know. And you can help me out with all the boring school stuff."
