Irah replied back to her newfound peers, shaking each other's hand, giving back polite laughter when she needs to, all the usual stuff. She did notice some of the group who chose not to join in the conversations some of them were having and just looked on the window to see the ever-changing landscape as the carriage made its way to the academy. She decided to let them have their peace for the moment. After all, there will be plenty of time for chit-chatting later, perhaps over a good cup of tea. Irah will try to sneak that into her schedule for today. 

A couple of moments later, the carriage did indeed came to a halt. The driver of the carriage opened the doors and ushered the children outside, ordering them to leave their luggage inside the ride. 

Irah marveled at the scenery around her. "Hmmmm. Not bad, I must say. Still, Wonderland is better", she told herself before wandering off from the group. Well, some of them already went on on their own so she just shrugged and did the same. Irah didn't see them earlier but fairies were sitting on the flowers and singing some songs in their language. Then Irah heard a beautiful male voice singing and woodland creatures came surging out from the forests coincidentally towards the same guy whose face she poked earlier. 

Irah smirked and giggled mischievously. "Interesting", she quietly said to herself. "Very interesting".
