[h1][center][color=8dc73f]Tiina Bouquet[/color][/center][/h1] [i][color=8dc73f]"Dammit, shut up!"[/color][/i] Tiina cried out to the heavens, but despite the damage that the scream had left on her throat, it was absolutely ineffective, since the throng of students surrounding her in the first floor cafeteria were just as agitated. Resigning herself to the cacophony of screams and whimpers, she decided to take a seat in a corner, away from the tables and any area densely occupied by random students. [i][color=8dc73f]"Honestly, I know it's a skill that I inherited from my mother, but I wish I could at least toggle the effects of my enhanced hearing,"[/color][/i] she sighed, fishing a pair of earbuds and her cellphone from her breast pocket. [color=8dc73f][i]"This should tune everything out... hopefully."[/i][/color] She hadn't even placed her earbuds on her when a particular sound echoed throughout the hallway. Again, Tiina's ears perked up as she tried to pinpoint the location of the noise.[color=8dc73f][i]"This is... galloping? And I hear human footprints, too; fast ones."[/i][/color] she muttered to herself, rushing over to the courtyard in search of some kind of information. As she turned the corner to the courtyard, the rhythmic, yet muffled thumping of hooves stomping against the thick grass was gradually becoming louder and louder, until her other superhuman skill--her enhanced eyesight--could make out the silhouette of a centaur and a human, both of which were dashing away from the forest, in the direction of the Academy's building. The two of them were actually quite far away from her current position, but making out their faces was second nature after they started getting closer to her line of sight. [color=8dc73f][i]"These guys look way too young to be professors here. Just by looking at the human's face, I can tell there's very little reason to worry about them for now."[/i][/color] Just as she started turning on her heel, she caught wind of a third series of footsteps... Familiar ones. [color=8dc73f][i]"Circe..."[/i][/color] With a loud sigh, Tiina tried to take a seat in a remote corner of the courtyard when her ears perked up again. This time, the noise that caught her attention was much more threatening. [b][i][color=9e0b0f]Grr...[/color][/i][/b] She couldn't pick up the species of whatever was making that intimidating snarl, but Tiina could only imagine that whatever it was wasn't very friendly... [i][color=8dc73f]"Was that... a wolf?"[/color][/i]
