Taking in the sights and the amazing music (which somehow seemed to be becoming even better by the minute), Kathy had been so distracted that even Crash’s gentle contact to her shoulder accidentally took her by surprise. After a slight jump, she concentrated on his words to hear them over the music and excited chatter around them. She replied, “Okay, let’s head on over there.” Unfortunately, even she could tell that her voice was a lot quieter compared to his and couldn’t be sure he could hear her. Nodding a few times and pointing in the direction he had indicated, she tried to make it clear that she was agreeing with him.

Making their way towards the bar, she noted that it seemed impossible to get anywhere without bumping into people. She was careful not to step on anyone’s toes, but she became so tired of apologizing every time she made contact with someone that she ended up stopping it altogether.

On her way, she became momentarily distracted by the sight of a young girl and… “A lion..?” She blinked a few times, wondering if she was seeing things. No, there was definitely a white lion making its way into the student center. She couldn’t help but glance over at Crash for a moment, wondering if it was another shape-shifter. Even if it wasn’t she wasn’t sure why she was even surprised anymore. [i]‘Athalia Academy… Where the unexpected is the new expected.’[/i]

A moment later, she regretted not looking straight forward. Instead of the slight bumps she had been making, she all but collided into a [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/27409/posts/ooc?page=14#post-789486]dark-haired boy[/url] holding a glass of juice in his hands. “Ah!” Using her fast reflexes, she quickly cupped her hand over the glass to keep the contents from spilling over from the impact. She ended up getting some of the liquid on her hands, but sighed in relief as she confirmed it didn’t get on anyone else or accidentally knock the cup out of the boy’s hands. Trying her best to be heard over the music she apologized, “Sorry about that. I’ll get you a new one.”
