Griffin ignored most of the interaction. He wasn't used to interacting with others his age. He had never been so many people his age at one time. It was strange being on land. He took the time to adjust to the land not moving under his feet. He studied the others while he waited for the gates to open. He didn't understand their talk of escaping. He doubted that it was possible. First of all most of them were well known. If they were identified they would be sent back and punished. Plus they would have no way to provide for themselves. Most of them didn't seem all that capable to him. He shook his head wondering if anyone was going to be stupid enough to try to escape.
