[center][h1][color=8882be]Lumen Kresnik[/color][/h1] [@Awesomoman64] [@floodtalon] [@Conscripts] [@13org] [@Cerces22][/center] Lumen's thumb pressed upon his bottom lip, tapping it between short intervals of thought as they began to gather the information about the situation at hand. The communal rooms wouldn't be much different than what he's used to in the orphanage. Luxury wasn't something he had much of so this change wasn't an unwelcomed one. Sharing rooms with strangers wasn't much of a problem and it proposed an alleyway for conversation and making friends. So ultimately, regardless if the situation was rather grim, he tried to look for a positive. Lumen knew he wasn't even remotely close to becoming a Dawn-Slayer. Much less a prominent magic user, the link to Kresnik's soul was still weak. Lost in though a young girl poked him off his train of thought by merely walking the opposite direction of where he stood. For an inkling of a second their eyes met, before she continued down her way. Another person of lively crimson hued locks, a distinguishing aura of certainty roamed across her features. Exuding some form of strength in every step. He looked beyond her and she was speaking to another young girl, a faun with humanoid features. This one seemed to be rather nervous over what had occurred, his eyes soften and a gentle smile made its way naturally towards his mien. He thought of that girl of crimson, she was there trying to alleviate any soft of confusion or stress the faun-girl had probably. That girl of crimson hair was probably really nice. He ushered a wave towards the girl at the distance, a type of half humanoid creature Lumen has never seen before. His sense of adventure and curiosity sparked, he knew there would be all kind of interesting people here. Interesting faces and backgrounds that would expand his knowledge of the world. He would have to make a mental note to introduce himself later, she seemed like someone who could tell him a good story. A large man now stood before him. His presence was noted, he towered above Lumen, eyes of blood red locking with his own. Skin paler than normal as if he had no heat in his blood stream, yet even if the soul within Lumen bellowed sirens of danger, there was indeed something serene about this man. [color=8882be]"Eh?"[/color] Was Lumen's only response after being snapped of his trance, ah, a teacher... How foolish of him. [color=8882be]"Yes, please do so sir."[/color] The man continued. Lumen better follow, if anything there were a couple of creature that came to mind, vampire was the most certain answer. The teacher didn't even seem affected by the curse. How wonderful! He could actually have a conversation with some people without initial prejudice! Before Lumen could move to follow the teacher another voice halted him on his path. Another half-ling. A young... man? Horse? He didn't know how properly staple this boy because he hasn't met anything like it before. His upper half composed of a torso, arms and head like any other human being. But he had 4 other limbs which were all of that of a steed. How wonderfully curious. It sparked his sense of wonderment for a third time. How exiting! [color=8882be]"Yes, hello. My name's Lumen. It's nice to meet you Duncan."[/color] Before they continued down the path that lead to the rooms, young Lumen placed his hood on, if he could ward as much eye contact as possible, he could be certain that those of weaker strength in their magic could not get affected by this curse. [color=8882be]"I see, this place really has it all for someone like me."[/color] he muttered to himself with hidden glee. [color=8882be]"I just transferred here, Duncan. So it kind of feels like I'm a fish out of water. It doesn't help that I arrived at such in inopportune time, but I'm certain things would look up. I hope we can get along."[/color] He rose his voice slightly so that the teacher could hear. [color=8882be]"And thank you, sir. I'm Lumen Kresnik, may I please know your name? So that I can show you my gratitude appropriately." [/color]
