[hr]

Turning about, her roommate walked back into their room before returning shortly later with a rather familiar small pink bag. Same zipper. Same look. A small wave of relief washed over the high-class girl's face as she held out her left hand to accept the small bit of evidence of her own prior haste. She wasn't one to put her heart on her sleeve all of the time or kowtow to everyone she met for that matter, or at least that was how she saw it, but she wasn't going to be ungrateful either. It was a small thing, and embarassing at that, but at least her roommate seemed to be a good sport about things thus far. 

Perhaps that was good news for later? Eh, if she had to hazard an early guess at least. Though the hesitance in her roommate's handing it back was certainly visible to the upper-class primalist all the same. 

[quote=Sarah][color=gold]"Here. Is this what you're missing?"[/color][/quote]

[color=silver]"Yes! Thank you, I must've dropped it without noticing the other day after arriving and working on getting my things into the room. I'll try to be more careful moving forward, at least."[/color]

The sudden but mild prick of static electricity jumping to one of her fingers as she was given her makeup bag, all as said finger strayed a tad closer to her roommate's hand than the others, was enough to get Elena's hand to lightly flinch in surprise. Though in the aftermath, as it were, she'd simply raise an eyebrow before shrugging things off. The carpets hadn't seemed to be giving her any static thus far. Nor was it a cold enough day. Hmm. Either way it was probably nothing anywho, though her roommate piped up before she could let her thoughts frankly wander any more over such trivial matters as static electricity at that. 

[quote=Sarah][color=gold]"We might have time to grab some food—if you still want to, that is. It'd probably have to be something quick, though."[/color][/quote]

Elena would respond with an acknowledging nod, following her seemingly eager-to-eat roommate down the hall. Well, follow her as best as she could at a somewhat faster pace, it seemed, as they bobbed and weaved through their peers to get by the farther they went. First the hesitation, and then this sort of haste? It was all certainly something peculiar about the girl, that much Elena felt for sure for the time being. Like she was trying to fight nerves or something....though if so, she could hardly blame her even if she didn't share the same sentiment about being here at this school in general or something. Especially given the other girl's parentage...ouch. 

Yet before they could reach the cafeteria-

[center][h3][i]*CRACKLE CRUNCH*[/i][/h3][/center]

...How old was this PA system, hmm? The Jagers were not the only non-Primalist donors in the country, she knew that, but perhaps it still worked well enough to save costs for the classes or such. In any case, the crackle of the PA system was enough to get Elena to take pause and stop as others did just as she was catching up to where Sarah was. 

[quote=???]"[b]ATTENTION STUDENTS[/b]," A [i]booming[/i] voice announced over the intercom, echoing throughout the school. "[b]PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU ARE AT THE WOLKWITZ AUDITORIUM FOR THE CEREMONY IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES[/b]."[/quote]

The white-haired girl sighed. As if having to recalibrate her casual attire to things, changed hair color, and all of this wasn't enough? Perhaps she'd slept in too late, though admittedly she had been 'that' tired after arriving the prior day as well. Rest or a bite to eat? Sometimes one chose an option without knowing they had. Alas. 

[color=silver]"Certainly earlier than I had hoped they'd begin...well, perhaps we'll be able to last until the ceremony is over then."[/color]

Or else she'd attempt to grow edible non-toxic mushrooms where they sat for the ceremony if she got desperate, hmm? Ah, that'd make quite the scene regardless of intent though. Ha. But more seriously, Elena would simply sigh before looking to Sarah and motioning for them to keep moving onward. They had a ceremony to get to, and the food to get thereafter would certianly be even more worth it after all of that according to her own stomach.
