Indeed, Taari had embarked on a journey unlike any they had ever heard of before.  And truthfully, Taari had heard many tales of travel.  It was common in the Wayafar way of life.  Their village was actually quite young in their history, representing a new way of life and thinking for their people.  And yet still, the tales recounting expedition and pilgrimage abound.  Yet none took place quite so recent.  At least none of much importance or significance.  None until this one right now.

At the feast, Taari had enjoyed themselves immensely, speaking very little, and not given much room to talk as they were used to, but listening to others was not only a great experience to learn more of cultures outside of their own, but also practice the common tongue.  They actually felt they learned a lot from their experience and it made them contemplate on their travel thus far.

This land was much different than the oasis and the surrounding desert.  The greenery stretched much further than their home, and the blue of the horizon was frequently interrupted.  Yet though the scenery was much different, they still saw much of humanity in the world around them.  Even if there was the unfortunate language barrier.  Of course, that simple issue quickly reared it's head soon after.  Body language is universal to some degree.  Obviously, whether someone was angry or sad or overjoyed could be seen by looking at their expression and watching their movements.

Yet here sat a crystal.  One which spoke in a language that Taari was still learning themselves, and didn't even have facial expressions and hand gestures in order to assist them

[color=f6989d]"Welcome Taari Tasjil.  I am Athena.  I would like to apologize on behalf of my inability to converse in your language.  I simply lack the body required for such an intricate way of speaking."[/color]

Taari crinkled their nose, raised their hand and said [color=fff79a]"E'nah..."[/color] A word with many different potential meanings, but in this context meant [color=fff79a]"There is nothing to be done about it."[/color]  They looked at the door in front of them.  There were sounds of conversing on the inside.  How strange.  Taari was aware they would have a room mate, but there were two voices coming from the room.  Were they expected to have that many students living in a single room?  Perhaps there was some mistake...

[color=f6989d]“This will be your dorm room for the foreseeable future. There is a bathroom in the door to your right that you and your roommate may share if you do not wish to use the public baths. While sleeping in the dorm room is not strictly required, sleeping in any non sanctioned area of the school is forbidden and may result in disciplinary action.”[/color]

Well, the crystal spoke that this was their room.  There wasn't much more to speak on the matter.  Taari opened the door into the room.  Sure enough, two others were already in the room.  Taari made a brief gesture, bringing one hand from their shoulder down to their left side before speaking in the common language.  [color=fff79a]"Hello-greetings"[/color] Adding the latter part in an attempt to give context to their "hello."  Taari took a moment to look around.  There was no way the room would fit in this building normally.  It was by no means [i]large[/i] but certainly larger than expected.  

[color=fff79a]"To this room I was assigned.  Taari Tasjil is I."[/color]  They bowed deeply, raising their arm out to the side.  [color=fff79a]"Who will I be speaking with?"[/color]
