[center][h3]Silver Gate Academy Library[/h3][/center] [@Celsius] [hr] The young boy took more than a few nudges until he realized someone was talking to him. His gaze darted sideways in initial surprise, taking a moment to notice that a student was addressing him, and then another moment to realize what she was asking him. [color=f7941d]"O-oh! Sure, but I'm afraid there isn't much room..."[/color], he was correct. Actually more surprisingly, his Japanese was a little broken, but it was all understandable. There really wasn't much room or table-space to use, it was almost entirely covered in books, open or piled. Still, it didn't seem to be a problem. [color=f7941d]"I didn't see many people in the library, and I heard it was a holiday for the people here, so I decided to take the chance to take stock of the library here. You have an amazing selection, in new and unseen prints. Here, the book in front of me is actually an old manuscript from the Dragonic Dynasty, predating the current Arcture Dynasty by two whole dynasties, but in a new and fresh print! This one in particular details the comings and goings of merchants and the spread of magical herbs at the time"[/color], he seemed to be quite into what he was talking about, but at this point he realized he was rambling as he stopped and looked back to Yasu. [color=f7941d]"I-well I'm sorry about that, when I... Get a little too into it, I tend to ramble... I suppose I should introduce myself, as I should have done first... I am Elliot Harvingford, I will be a student here starting today. It's nice to meet you. I hope my Japanese is sufficient, I had been studying in preparation for my move here"[/color], throughout the whole time he was talking his Japanese was quite good, even with some complex vocabulary and syntax he seemed to have that all down. Regardless of that, he seemed a nice kid, and eager to learn no less. [center][h3]Seidoujima Island - Market District[/h3][/center] [@I-Am-X] [hr] The fine lady was trying to make her best "I'm being patient" face as she smiled while trying to deal with the awkwardness of the situation. She regretted not taking some of the classes offered to her prior to coming here, she could only barely understand some things the old couple was telling her, but they also seemed to pick up that she wasn't getting all of it and it created a somewhat weird atmosphere. Such was broken when Ultana had appeared, cutting the mood with her rough speech. The old couple noticed it too, the young lady turned to face Ultana with a somewhat relieved expression. Someone she could understand. Finally. The old couple noticed that someone who was better equipped had arrived and bowed out, waving at the two before going along their way. [color=6ecff6]"Thank you, yes, yes I am, I had decided to go out shopping for the local delicacies, but I'd gotten completely lost. I managed to find a market district, but I don't understand some of these strange new foods. Unlike the other students, I have had no exposure to imports from this land and so I am completely blind in this environment"[/color], he speech was soft, like silk, it was a bit stiff as if she was keeping up some kind of act or mannerism on purpose, but it was still quite pleasant nonetheless. [color=6ecff6]"I don't recognize you from the induction, mayhap you are a student who has been studying here longer than I? If so, you must have good ideas on places to eat?"[/color], she was quite eager to latch onto Ultana, was it relief of someone familiar or was it in her nature? Either way she remembered. [color=6ecff6]"Ah, before that, I must introduce myself, I am Asta Brunnhildr... It is strange that I do not have ears and a tail like my family, but I consider myself one of them all the same"[/color], the Brunnhildrs aren't a famous family by no means, but with a last name like that it meant they came from the north, which was populated by cold climate beastmen, but Asta was a completely normal Arcanis brand human, based on her fair features contrasted with raven hair.
