Vera gave 'Lyra' a firm handshake, her eyes lighting up at the latter's offer to join her for the day. "Oh, I would love that! It's a pleasure to meet you, Lyra, I'm Vera."

She then turned her attention back to the violin, which had gone silent. "A Wind Elementalist, you say? It's highly possible that you might have been subconsciously doing that. There's still so much we don't know, but then again, it [i]is[/i] our first day here. Maybe we could ask one of the nice teachers here about it."

Vera was glad to have made her first friend at the academy. It was always more enjoyable to start something new with other people rather than having to go through it by oneself. That was how she personally felt anyway. Lyra mentioned exploring around too, and Vera wondered if she meant within the school grounds or going out into the city. She also wondered if the city was new to her too, though, if Lyra would rather stay at the academy to learn more about the place or her own elemental abilities, Vera would gladly tag along for the company.

"So... do you want to stay here and discover what we can about the academy, or would like to grab a bite or something out in the city?" Vera asked, before letting out a short gasp as she remembered something she had forgotten to do before attending the assembly. "Oh right! If it's the second option, I'm going to need to find a currency exchange booth. I mean sure, I've got my credit card, but it's always safer to have some cash in hand. Can't assume every place in this city accepts payment by card."
