He laughed heartily at the connection she made with his name. 

"Yes! Just like that. I have also been known to spit hot lead, though I'm sure much less efficient." 

Sig nodded thoughtfully at her statements about the grand hall.  Yes, it made a certain amount sense... Surely this year was not an anomaly in terms of strangeness of its student body. If you expected dragons, it was generally wise to plan ahead. Whether it's combat, or architecture. 

"A grand hall... A grand[b]ios[/b] hall. It must be tremendous." A frown creased his brow. "Damn! I shold've been more careful with the flying rig. I could have sailed in like the Flying Dutchman."

[i]Oh well.[/i] He thought. [i]There will be more opportunities for jackassery.

Sig turned to face the other young man as he approached. He took a very serious expression as he looked him up and down. The fellow had a certain 'fish out of water' characteristic that endeared him to Sig almost immediately. He had a soft spot for people as confused as he frequently was. But more importantly that  that... 

Sig reached out a hand and clasped Leval's forearm.

"You." He said softly. "You're the one who went to help that man that everyone was thumping on. Didn't hesitate, did you?" 

Sig released him and smiled. "That was a very good thing to do. My name is Sig, and I'm glad to meet you."

Hearing Liana's description of brought him up short. A mad tyrant? Here at the academy, like any other student? It would beggar belief if Sig had not seen multiple dragons in attendance as well.

[i]I suppose I floated in out of the clouds myself on an armchair[/i] Sig thought.

[i]we carried you, ass[/i] muttered a sullen spirit 

"You do [b]indeed[/b]  know secrets." He said to Liana. "But I'll say I don't intend to stear clear of [i]anyone[/i], least of all a puffed up ass with a case of megalomania."

Sig stared up at the landmass floating serenely above them. How on earth did it get up there...? How many spirits might he need to lift such a weight.

[i]DON'T GET IDEAS[/i] several voices spoke at once.

"My first foray into levitation was a rousing success." he said in a low voice to no one at all,  as it might appear to an observer. 

"Seeing as we're all here for the same thing..." Sig began, more clearly speaking to the rest of them. "Would all of you like to head up? The action seems to have settled, and if what you say is true, maybe we should put some distance between as and Tutankhamun over there."

Sig cast a remorseful look towards his ill-fated flying chair.

"If anyone knows how we're meant to get up there, that is."
