Rodrick stiffened slightly as the teachers walked out and took their places at the head table. Years of living on the streets had given Rodrick good instincts when it came to people. When bumping into the wrong person could mean a knife in your stomach, you quickly learned to tell who was dangerous. Everyone of these teachers were dangerous. The old wizard man, the wrinkled goblin, and the snake woman had a sense of power that Rodrick couldn't place his finger on. He had never been around a lot of magic user, but he suspected this was the feeling a powerful mages gave off. Rodrick had felt people like the man with the eye patch before, usually from high ranking military personal or guard captains. He had a hardness and strength to him that Rodrick suspected came from years of discipline and combat. The drow woman, wow she was pretty, actually seemed rather pleasant. Rodrick couldn't quite place her either but she had a kindness and feeling of strength that he hadn't really experienced before. Then there was the man with hooked mask...

The longer Rodrick looked at him the stronger the urge to run became. He had 'felt' people close to that before. It came from people you avoided at all costs. It came from people who just as content to stab you as say hello to you. Their was no doubt in Rodrick's mind, that man was a killer. The man with the hook mask must have felt Rodrick's stare, because he turned his head to look right at Rodrick. Well, to be fair it was hard to tell where the man was looking, but it certainly felt like he was looking at Rodrick. Rodrick looked down quickly, and actually started to sweat a little. And then snake woman, who introduced herself as Maurine, began to speak and Rodrick felt the mans gaze move away. He might have sighed in relief a little. 

The speech was quick and too the point. Immediately after Hoseforn stopped speaking food exploded across the table, and Rodrick's eyes grew huge. The smells were intoxicating, and Rodrick's stomach growled in anticipation. He hadn't eaten anything but a piece of kinda stale bread and cheese since this morning. This was without a doubt the most food Rodrick had ever seen. Rodrick began piling food onto his plate, grabbing some of everything, and started to dig in. It tasted incredible. After the first few bites he realized he would need something to drink. He spotted a pleasant looking purple liquid, was that wine? It smelled nice and fruity so he poured himself a glass of it. It tasted almost as amazing as the food had. 

A few of the other students started to introduce themselves. The tiefling woman who had shown up just after Rodrick and Lorelei introduced herself as Anise. He had rarely seen any others of his kind, so he was a little excited to have another one of his people in the same year as him. The pink fox girl introduced herself as Selena, the young woman with white hair as Valencia and the young man with...was that a mechanical arm..cool... as Finn, before her and Lorelei started speaking in a language that Rodrick didn't understand. One of the two dressed in robes, the one who had looked like he wanted to strangle the blonde one before, introduced himself as Ixius and as a member of the Magus Librarium. The Magus Librarium sounded familiar, though Rodrick wasn't sure why.
