Pheonix didn't have anywhere else to stay over the summer, so she'd remained at the Academy, same as every year. Eleven years now. Not that it mattered, Olympus was a nice place. So she got up, dressed, and headed downstairs to see the others returning to the Academy. As always, the guys up top expected her to be helping the new arrivals on these first days, having been around longer than any other student and some of the teachers. 

Old faces and new, but an old one first, by the looks of things. Pheonix met Dylan on her way outside and took a flier, skim-reading the coded message. She said she planned on being there, though it would only be her second time if she did. Prior to that, and well, Dylan's parties were a little excessive for her, even she wouldn't be able to deny it. Still last year was a blast, and she looked forwards to joining again.

She then headed outside (crap, it's raining!), looking around and seeing plenty of people, some old and some new, as expected. Her first instinct was to go see Micah, an old friend of hers, but he seemed to have his hands full already, so she decided to talk to him later. She noticed a new girl, with bright pink hair heading off to introduce herself to Riddley. Crap. That girl was not exactly someone you'd want as a first impression for a group of people, especially one meant to come off as friendly or welcoming. Boss behind the scenes? Sure. Frontline commander? Probably a good choice. The problem with Riddley, Pheonix thought, was that while she made a great ally, but not so much a friend. Not that Pheonix was in any position to judge, though, since she could often be the same.

Anyway, not wanting this poor girl to be steamrolled by Riddley's intellect too quickly, Pheonix headed off quickly towards the pair, arriving just as the girl, Leona, started speaking.

[colour=DarkRed]"Hey Leona. I'm Pheonix. Sorry, didn't mean to intrude, [i]mais j'adore tes cheveux[/i]."[/colour] Pheonix said, slipping into French as she often did. Even though she barely had use for it, in many cases it just sounded better, you know?
