"Yeah," Alexander replied to Katalina, "She's definitely used to fighting for things. Nothing wrong with that though." His mind went to the knife sitting on the dresser in his room. Better, more interesting times, he thought...

But then things started moving quicker. Most predominantly, Eleanor had stepped forward and donned a dark shawl that concealed her nonsensical sunny disposition. She looked a bit like a nun in an odd way, Alexander thought. She'd already shooed the girls away, even somehow making Hannah and Sumi desist. As he started to leave himself, however, she beckoned him to stay with her- and, more alarmingly, asked him to try and pass himself off as a Logic Child. Apparently the new arrival, who would turn into his roommate once he arrived, had some very strict parents, and it seemed Eleanor was intent on hiding the nature of the place. Well, he corrected himself, hiding was the wrong word. What did the Captain used to tell him? [i]"We're not lying mate, we're just showing them the truth they want to see."[/i]

"Sure thing Miss, that's not too hard. The hair's dyed, the feather's just a necklace, and be as [i]boring[/i] as possible." He smiled as he stuffed his hands in his pockets and ambled forward, just a bit behind the headmistress. "Only joking on that last one of course."

Maybe it was a good thing he'd left the knife in his room today...
