Supplementary classes already! As she reluctantly headed to the designated classroom, Imogen wondered with growing horror if the academy received records from her previous school. It's no wonder they've preemptively enrolled her in these extra classes then. Still, she tried to find the silver lining. Like how this was a chance to meet more people! Jory, Clary, Rai-Rai, and Iz were an eclectic bunch that she had taken to almost immediately, despite their limited interactions. They seemed fun and interesting and she never doubted what her gut told her.

She arrived to class in high spirits, only for it to promptly get depleted as the professor droned on about the current state of Fódlan. It was boring to listen to back in her small-town school, it was boring to listen to now in this grandiose monastery. Imogen pinched herself multiple times to stay awake and resorted to prying her eyes open with her fingers when her lids became heavy. Despite all her efforts, her attention slipped and her thoughts drifted to another of imaginary her high seas adventure, this time with her fellow deer people on board. [color=ffb5c2][i]Oh wait, Iz just tumbled over the railing of the ship and fell overboard! She has to save her or—[/i][/color] 

Imogen snapped out of her daydreaming when her chin slipped off her hand, giving her a minor scare. For a dizzying second, she thought she had actually fallen in the water as well! She barely caught the tail end of the handsome knight-professor's introductions—huh, she swears she's seen him somewhere recently—and found herself more alert now that the discussion seemed to veer away from any heavy topic. Were they doing introductions again? Fun!

She cheered after each professor's turn and laughed out loud at the continuous piling on Professor Mik. [color=ffb5c2]"I like a lot of things, too!"[/color] she called out after Professor Kaira, hoping to help put her at ease. And, [color=ffb5c2]"hey, you're that drawing on the board!"[/color] to Professor Mik after recognition hit her.

Clary was the first of the students to speak, and despite having known her only today, Imogen couldn't help but think this was just like her. [color=ffb5c2]"Yeah, Clary, liars suuuck!"[/color]

Next came Jory and Imogen just knew she'd found her kindred spirit. She pretended to swoon when he gave her a little wink and whooped as the end of his turn seamlessly blended into Rai-Rai's. Imogen's commoner brain was harder pressed to comprehend all the Noble-ese that came out of his mouth, but she was pretty sure she got the gist of it: [color=ffb5c2]"Woo, deer party!"[/color]

The next person wasn't one of her deer people, but as soon as Imogen saw him, she'd gotten the strangest urge to squeeze him. Kel reminded her so much of the stray cat that wandered about town, the little black fuzzball that was always so wary and shaky around people (except her, she liked to brag). [color=ffb5c2]"Surprise parties can be fun though, Kel!"[/color] she offered when she realized he was shyly sinking back into his seat.

Giant, golden-haired [i]Obi[/i] was another not-deer person and holy crackers, he sounded like a professor. Imogen resisted making an indecent crack at his "both at once" line as something told her he wouldn't appreciate that at all.

If Jory reminded her of sunshine, the next lion to introduce herself definitely reminded her of the moon. Lin was pretty and somehow mysterious, like she was actively making sure no one would glean any information from her face or from her gestures. 

When it was the prince's turn, Imogen noticed that both he, Obi, and Lin had mentioned the crests they bore. How odd. Caius had explicitly instructed her not to tell anyone about her crest if she could help it, but it didn't seem like it was taboo to do so. Maybe Caius just meant hers? She shrugged off the thought and refocused her attention onto the next person to go.

Imogen cheered for Der as she did after everyone said their names, and made an offhand comment about making her a necklace if he was bored one day. Like everyone else in the class (except perhaps Kel, who was more kitty cat-like), Der had an air of nobility about him, even if he didn't say his fancy titles like the others did.

She'd been putting off doing her own because she was having a lot of fun listening to everyone else's, but Imogen figured she might as well take her turn. Instead of just getting up from her seat, she hopped up and stood on top of hers. Not for any theatrics like Jory's and more for logistics? Seated in the row furthest back, she felt like she was mostly hidden from view, especially behind giants like Obi and Rai-Rai.

[color=ffb5c2]"Hi, guys, I'm Imogen!"[/color] she greeted cheerfully, as casual as always. [color=ffb5c2]"I'm from this tiiiny town right next to Fódlan's Throat. I like going on fun adventures, climbing up high places so I can look at the sky, bad jokes, and funny people! Hm, what else? Oh, I like my deer people already!"[/color] Imogen beamed and waved at them. She wracked her brain for her dislikes and came up with three, which she counted down with her fingers. [color=ffb5c2]"I hate scary things, boring things, and terrible moms."[/color]
