Guilt, it instantly sank into her stomach like a rock as she hadn't meant to make Dawn tense up so noticeably by such a simple action. It was in that brief moment she hoped that she hadn't crossed any lines but it seemed the instant that Dawn recognized her voice that all tension dissipated and a flood of relief rushed through her own being.[color=e99cf5]"Awwww, you do love me."[/color] Serenity teased, a bright smile lighting up her features.[color=e99cf5]"The family felt it would be a good opportunity to learn from more than just the personal trainer and get a few secondaries under my belt.[/color] Serenity answered. She had been leery of coming, knowing more than one person would know her last name though they had been out of many loops for awhile and the last thing she wanted to do was tell people where they could put their unwanted opinions or to smile and brush off how they might insult her. She was proud of who she was and would stand up for that. A nudge to her hands brought her out of her thoughts and she instantly pulled her hands away a small blush lighting up her cheeks as she forgot that they were even still covering Dawn's eyes. It luckily seemed more like she wanted to continue teasing a good friend but she needed to keep more focused, especially when being introduced to a fellow student and possibly gaining a new friendship if all went well. It was obvious that Dawn was thinking of both their feelings when it came to last names as it was a simple introduction without them. 

It was then that he offered up his name on his own accord and was quite charming even smooth if she was being honest. He had pulled out a chair for her after all when it was not necessary and was pleased to have her around while most found her, strange. Sterling, it sounded familiar and that is when it clicked into place. This could be interesting, should she give him her last name? Why not, the worst that would happen is one more person avoiding her. She placed her hand in his own, a gentle smile on her face as she replied,[color=e99cf5]"Serenity D'Amour and the pleasure is all mine."[/color] She was just about to take a seat when she felt a tap on her shoulder before hearing one of her favorite voices. [color=e99cf5]"Always!"[/color] was her quick reply to the fly by welcome as the food was more important for now which just made her chuckle. She couldn't really blame him though as it had been a long ride for everyone. It was so nice to see another friendly face though. It was turning out to be a good start of the year. Her attention was quickly caught by Larke as he spoke up about how curious it was they had not met before with all the familiar company they shared. Location was probably the biggest reason as her visits had to be planned in advance and it usually meant the others kept it to just them. [color=e99cf5]"Oh, I don't mind at all. I am originally from France but my family moved to America.[/color]

Serenity jumped a bit, startled by someone new suddenly joined the group and speaking up to Larke and Perci. It didn't take long to guess that he was a child of one of the council members like the other two. He seemed really nice and easy going. This was someone that she might actually get along with but it was hard to tell everything from first impressions. She was very much enjoying Larke's conversation and company so far. It would be nice to make another friend that was for sure. [color=e99cf5]"Hello, Nate. It is lovely to meet you, I'm Serenity."[/color] replied and holding out her hand before a sudden chill ran up her spine and she realized why it as the goosebumps were crawling up her arm. Who had Nate upset? The only time she felt like this was when her Necro friend, Alex, had insulted a spirit by calling them a chatterbox that only spewed garbage in his ear. It was no problem for her but it could make for some unpleasant remarked from the spirit that the person might have to ignore. She hoped this wasn't the cast for Nate at the moment. 
The introduction was cut short however when a random battle cry loudly rang out through the room and was not to be missed by anyone. It was followed by Larke yelling at them to move and she reacted on instinct, jumping back and getting into a defensive position, not sure what was going to happen. A firey ginger haired girl, full on body slamming Larke was not quite what she had in mind for happening and now she was not sure what this even [i]was[/i] exactly. Was this an unhappy ex-girlfriend or something? Did they have a rivalry thing going? Was it a current girl he was seeing that was unhappy? It was just kind of weird to watch but Serenity stayed on edge just in case this needed to be broken up. It was a pleasant surprise to find that Larke was an aquamaner just like she was.
