Dakota's comment had made Lilie sheepish, the white haired girl shaking her head lightly. She wasn't entirely sure where she stood on the level of skill versus someone like Aaron, but at the very least she would be able to put on a show. Hopefully. Considering how much of a bumpkin she felt she was compared to everyone else, she couldn't help but feel somewhat out of place. Everyone seemed to at least know what they're doing or seemed to come from a place where at least they had some semblance of an idea. Lilie felt like she was suddenly thrown into this world of magic and vampires with very little preparation.

Needless to say, the girl felt lost. And not because of Sariel's impromptu tour--albeit seeing much more of the Academy was always a good thing in her book--but maybe all the excitement she had initially felt had started to fade into anxiety. Her hands instinctively began to fiddle with the hem of her dress as she listened to the older woman speak. She remembered Arianna's text and frowned; she didn't think it was coincidence that the two emphasized having friends. Well, what was the worst that could happen?
