[h3][b][color=6ecff6]Celeste Azur[/color][/b][/h3] [hr][b]Cafeteria[/b] [@Eragon][hr] [indent]Celeste continued eating as the new students and staff piled inside the cafeteria. He was in a non-noticeable enough place so he thought he'd be able to avoid interaction with the new students. He was wrong but he didn't realize it yet. He picked at his food and sighed. Another year of grueling classes and drills, he knew he had only a few years left until he graduated but still, it was not something he'd wanted to do everyday. Of course, graduating from the institute meant working, facing monsters on a regular basis - which was what happened to him when he was younger, of course unable to fight and nearly dying. He proceeded to think about how these freshly picked mages-to-be would perform in the tests. He shuddered from remembering it. Unknown to him, there was a lizard-like chimera that sat near him. He daydreamed for a few minutes, not realizing he was spoken to. Finally, he snapped out of his head and startled when he saw there was someone with him. [i][color=6ecff6]Oh no, he's going to think I have something against him being a chimera, why'd I have to flinch?[/color][/i] Cel straightened up and tried to recover from his mistake. It could still be salvaged, he hoped. He had to do it fast or he'll get distracted again and drift off. [color=6ecff6]"Um, hey. Were you talking to me?[/color], he shuffled and cleared his throat, [color=6ecff6]"I was thinking about something there and I didn't hear you."[/color] Would that be enough to un-offend the person? Was un-offend even a word? Cel thought, starting to get lost in his thoughts. Somebody needs to snap him out of it, and quick! [/indent]
