Janine looked between her friends continuing to chat lightly noting the other group of students had walked away and she stayed for what only felt like a few minutes but then the blonde looked away noticing only stragglers from the crowd still behind. She had a little moment of panic as she realized she might be late to the sacramentum ceremony if she stayed any longer outside of the academy. It was a bit rude of her but she gave a quick "goodbye" getting herself moving towards the grandiose academy once again with a fair bit of haste as the girl could never forgive herself if she missed the chance to meet her mage. After all she wanted to learn just who they were not to mention how tolerable they were so she could pace herself when dealing with them, only right that she be comfortable first as always. The walk up made her a bit nostalgic of her first year when her and her sister teamed up to make fun for themselves getting towards the top of the popular kids hierarchy. For her it was a nice way to socialize and find her place among the rest of the student body while getting to explore her power just a little bit. The blonde knew she could do Astral Projection but it was very limited and tiring which is why the sacramentum was exciting for her because she could find out just how much she could do. Nothing like getting a little gossip under her belt either using her lack of presence to find out anything of interest that might benefit her or just was fun to know at the time. Learning was a big part of why she loved St. Fortuna's because the girl wanted to know everything she could get her hands on though she would have to think about electives this year, always a subject of debate but she supposed it would have to be taken up with her mage once the time came. There had been few moment she regretted in being here and she planned to have even less of them this year maybe even making anew friend or two if it could be helped. It was a hope that weighed on her longing to be more open to liking the other students around her, something to strive for on the side really. Janine made the last few steps up until she was just outside of the Sun Room with anticipation reaching a peak the girl walked in melding in amongst the crowd wanting to get closer so she could see the pairs and the ceremony. This room was just magical to her in almost every sense between the stained glass, the gorgeous murals, the sudden changes in temperature and winds lightly breezing past. Being here made her feel small in a way but also proud she made it this far to get to be in such an important place making sure she wanted nothing but to excel to prove she was ready to be part of a pair. The blonde watched on as the older mages and familiars were in position calling the names from in the crowd to stand up on the podium for the sacramentum, an event which would surely change them for the better. She listened on as the headmaster began his speech bringing a light laugh from her at his joke but enthralled by the reciting of reason they were familiar and mages. Admittedly she herself fell under the thinking that it was convenient but if it were true that would only make for more questions which was also fascinating to think about. Either way this was the rite of pass for all of them which only make her want to be a part of the ceremony grow as students started to be called up from the crowd to be attended by the druids. ~Oh if only I knew which mage was going to be my bond, there are certainly some nice looking ones around here.~
