So the girl was new. That would explain why Lyra hadn't seen her around. She put her flute to her left hand and shook the girl's hand with her right. "I'm Lyra. It's nice to meet you, Freya."

"So are you new here?" Lyra added. "We've already got classes for three months. It's, ah..." 

How did her months go by? It was a huge relief, in a way, to be able to manipulate and study the elements without her family looking over her shoulder, thinking her crazy. It was also a lot like wandering through the unknown wilderness, especially with the teachers giving them free reign on most things. It was wild, and kind of scary, but they were interesting, and she's got plenty of friends to-

Lyra noticed that her thoughts were running again. If she didn't reign it in now, they might stand there for hours. She smiled apologetically at Freya, and said "It's been a fun three months. Well, ah..." She thought about what to say. "It's lunchtime right now. I've some free time before study sessions later. Do you want to go, maybe, get something to eat in town? Have you been downtown?"
