[h2]Kellin Caen[/h2]

Kellin raised an eyebrow as the boy explained the nature of his magic, though he nodded along with perceivable interest as he spoke about his dreams. “Wow, that’s something. I’ve never heard of somebody sleeping to use magic… uh, if you don’t mind me asking, how exactly does that work?” The Osuunese boy was proving to be a bit of a curiosity, but Kellin couldn’t help his keen interest in his words. “Those dreams sound wild. I wish I had dreams like that. To tell you the truth, I usually don’t even remember them.” It was a rare occasion that Kellin remembered anything other than the void of unconscious when he awoke… and on most of those occasions he’d wished he hadn’t. 

The tour continued on, and Kellin walked and talked with Haruko, his eyes glancing about at the sights as they went. He was a bit surprised when he glanced back to see a butterfly lighting on his new friend’s finger. Again, Haruko’s words brought on an instinctual raising of the eyebrows, but Kellin nodded along once more. “It’s got a purpose, huh?” Kellin’s eyes weakly trailed the colorful insect as it took to the air. He couldn’t help but think there was something contagious about the sleepy serenity that surrounded Haruko, but he managed to shake it off as the tour came to an end.

Kellin’s stomach growled irritably, causing him to grimace slightly. “Yeah, I think getting some food is probably for the best. He turned and began walking back toward the delectable smell of the kitchen. “Oh, now that you mention it, I wonder if they have oysters…” He began to make his way back toward the cafeteria, trekking back along the path they’d just walked. “So what’s it like back in Osuun? I’ve never been.”

[h2]The Group Formerly Known As The Welcoming Comittee[/h2]

The students and faculty began spreading out in various directions. Some wandered off towards the forest, others went back to find their rooms or explore the campus. Ema, after answering a few questions, began walking back toward the Hall of Instruction, smiling brightly at the students as she took her leave. 

Korina still rested under a nearby tree, taking a toothpick from her pocket and clenching it absentmindedly between her teeth. She watched as her half sister threw herself headlong into some technical discussion… and immediately produced a notepad, which she began marking in rapidly. Korina sighed. If the notepad had come out already she was about to go off the deep end.

Sira jotted down details as Xanara spoke. “Hmm… a paradox could certainly be a concern. Chronomancy is a rare discipline, not a lot of information I’m too familiar with… though I know some books I could check into that might tell us more! I can do some research if you like, and then perhaps if I could observe you using this ability… well wait, if you went into the past I wouldn’t be in the right spot to see the end result… hmm.” Sira mumbled to herself, writing much more rapidly than she spoke. “I wouldn’t worry too much though, there’s nowhere safer for you than here! We have a host of safeguards against magical accidents, including those of the chronological variety! But in the meantime, Ema might be able to help you get more control over your Psychic abilities. She’s an excellent teacher, and she knows quite a lot. She [i]was[/i] the Sixth’s only student after all, if you have a question about Psychics, she’d be the one to ask. Linxi can probably help too, though her teleportation is actually not so much true teleportation as…” Sira continued mumbling, scribbling away.

Kress’ comment about the smokestack pulled her attention, her eyes lighting up. “Oh! You’ve heard of that too! I think that’s actually not supposed to be public yet, but yes, it’s a wonderful invention, that Per-”

“Sira! We’re supposed to go help prepare!” Korina called out to the artificer, motioning toward the Hall of Instruction.

Sira’s incessant scribbling came to a screeching halt. “Oh dear… that’s right. My apologies, it was a pleasure to meet you all, I hope we get to speak again soon!” She placed her notepad back in her pocket and set out back down the path.

Korina passed by the group, smirking. “Sorry, she would’ve went on all day. Hope you kids enjoy your first day.” She followed her half sister at a lazy pace, her silks swishing as she walked.
