Relieved to hear that she was well, Reynard smiled and leaned in to gentle rub his nose against Otsanda’s affectionately. He was further elated by the fact that she’d referred to him as ‘my love’ – he hoped that he was finding a place within her heart, for it was where he desperately wanted to be. Rey wasn’t going to let her go anytime soon, and luckily for him, she didn’t seem to want to slip out of his embrace either. Her inquiry regarding the attack was surprising, but then again, they’d only met because of her involvement in rescue and investigation.
Nodding slightly, he gently caressed her hair and ears as he spoke. “Yes, darling. After you took me to the attack site, I had a sinking suspicion that I’d encountered the aggressors’ scent before. Sure enough I was right.” He didn’t mean to leave her in suspense, but he couldn’t help it. After a few baited moments, he leaned in close to whisper into her ear – not that he needed to, her hearing was just as keen as his. “It was Cyrus…” Pulling back, he placed his index finger against his lips to silently tell her that it was a secret, at least on his end, whom Tala told was up to him.
“Apparently, his beast form becomes gripped by the moon’s alluring hold when it’s full, turning him a bit feral. He went into the forest to avoid hurting anyone, only to run into Tala, who had wandered into the forest recklessly.” Reynard had to wonder if Otsanda would condemn Cyrus for his involvement in the attack. “I concluded that both of them were at fault for what occurred, and since no one was seriously hurt, decided not to administer a punishment. Cyrus apologized and Tala seemed to accept it.” Holding Otsanda a bit closer he couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if Cyrus had encountered Otsanda in the woods that day. He didn’t want to think about it.
Holding Otsanda a bit tighter, he sighed. “I’ve decided to keep Cyrus close though. I want to help him tame his beast. He’s a good man with a good heart, he deserves a second chance at life.” It was all anyone could hope for – a second chance. Shaking his head a bit, he smiled down at the beautiful girl in his arms. “But enough of that…what shall we do today, lovely?”

❂MOOD ▬ ❝ Flirty. ❞ ❂LOCATION ▬ ❝ Courtyard Ready to be escorted by Reynard ❞❂COMPANY ▬ ❝ Reynard (Her Hot Fox) ❞ Sand returned the rub of her nose. As a shifter, she knew the meanings behind it and it made her ecstatic to know how deeply he had fallen for her, he literally had won her over the moment their eyes first met. Staring into his eyes she could see him as someone worthy of her affections, not only was he respectful of her but he showered her with adoration and it did not seem forced or unnatural, his scent intoxicated her with a constant need to be close to him he was like a drug. It was quite odd how they had met, but Sand would not have changed it for the world, his touch sent her tail wagging as his hand went to her ears she gave him a playful purr as she listened to his response to her question. Reynard just confirmed it and she smiled whilst being held tighter, she could really feel his heartbeat as well as feel his warmth, although his scent was enveloping her with desire, she knew for now at least she had to restrain herself. Something she felt would happen between them as their instincts and primal attraction played their cards, but Reynard was more than that to her, being with him granted the hopes of her having a home and finally have a family that was wholly and solely her own making, " ah, I see, now how are you going to make excuses to see me? I am kind of jealous I want to be kept close to you" Sand pouted playfully.
Listening softly as he asked her what she would like to do, Sand would give a blush knowing exactly what she would like to do for the future yet, for now, Sand gave a little chuckle, "as you are asking me... let us go for a walk and get to know each other further mm? maybe you can even tame me My Loving Reynard" Sand would say allowing his name to roll off of her tongue. " Do you think that the forest would be safe enough to stroll through now? " she asked subtly hinting her desires to roam free within nature with him, oh how she wished he would breathe so delicately again in her ear and whisper sweet loving words in her ears, the whole thought of it made her smile " better get used to it now My love I am not going to leave your side" she whispered and cupped his face and kissed his lip softly " so is my gentleman love going to escort me this time?" She asked cocking her head as her ears twitched waiting for his answer.
Reynard smiled at Otsanda’s playful pout. “Oh, Darling, I don’t need an excuse to come and see you…” He said with a mischievous grin. He’d come to the Academy any time he liked just to see her, official business or not.
At Otsanda’s suggestion that he might be able to tame her, he arched a brow and smirked. “And what makes you to think I’d want to tame you? It’s your fiery, free spirit that I’m falling for after all.” Offering her a playful wink, he smiled wide. He liked Otsanda just the way she was and wouldn’t change a single thing about her.
Looking toward the forest, he nodded. “Yes, now that we know what happened, I believe the forest is as safe as it was before.” There were always risks when delving deep into a forest, but as shifters, their instincts would alert them to any dangers that might threaten them.
Turning his gaze back down toward the lovely lady in his arms, he smiled as she spoke of never leaving his side. Part of him wanted to ask if that meant they were getting mated, but he didn’t want to jinx it. Accepting her kiss happily, he closed his eyes and hummed happily at the contact. Opening his eyes, he felt his cheeks blush a bit from the kiss. “Of course, My lady. I wouldn’t allow anyone else to escort you…” He purred. Leaning in he whispered in her ear, “You’re all mine~.” Making sure to imply what he truly meant.
Releasing her from his hold, Reynard offered her his arm to escort her through the courtyard and toward the forest. He knew it would rain soon, but he didn’t care, as long as he was with Otsanda, nothing else mattered to him…
The two continued their small discussions in the classroom. Elohari could hear Brageet hoot every now and then, the two were talking to each other. Her eyes seemed curious of Elohari, she wondered what they spoke of her. Curiosity was a finicky thing, it could mean many things. So as she glanced between the two, how they interacted, she decided to remain silent on the matter. If Gannon wished to speak on the matter, he would. When the two seemed to finish with their conversation Gannon would smile at the idea Elohari a nonjudgemental person. "I have no right to judge, anyone for the matter." Elohari spoke softly "I have an open heart to anyone and everything." she turned her head and raised her cheeks a little, squinting her eyes happily.
He spoke of the forest, something she had not seen quite yet. She had glanced at it yes, but not wandered in their alone. So the notion of him guiding her delighted her, she nodded and smiled "I would love that." The women seemed genuinely happy about the motion, her head glancing at the window. Clouds had formed and soon the pitter patter of rain began. Gannon spoke up which gave Elohari a chance to appreciate the small things in life. "That smell before and after rain is always such a peaceful delight." Her eyes glancing downward before letting a happy sigh out. "It's getting late and I must depart. I have kept you far too long." Elohari would turn to the man "Though you seem a little at ease than before, I'm glad." She smiled at him, eyes prying into the man's own intriguing ones. "You have paperwork and I have the excitement of tomorrow." She would nod softly before taking steps toward the door, she would glance back and speak one more before making her departure "Farewell then, tomorrow yes?"
Elohari would always walk slow, but her step seemed a bit cheery as she walked her way toward the courtyard, going back the same way she came. Elohari was known for being slightly clumsy and getting lost every now and then. Best to stay on the path traveled. It was then she glanced over to the open courtyard. An immediate halt as her eyes became mesmerized by the beauty of rain and grass. Her eyes sparkled in wonder as she slowly placed herself into the courtyard, the rain delicately kissing her skin. The smile on her face said it all, hands outreached to grasp at nothing but yet so much. She seemed to enjoy this small moment a lot more than most.
With Elohari not only accepting his offer to show her the forest, but acknowledging that he did have work that needed to be done, he felt a bit more at ease. While he enjoyed Elohari’s company, more or less, he did have a lot of work to catch up on.
“Yes, I will see you tomorrow for class. Enjoy the rest of your day, Elohari.” Bowing his head a bit, he watched her step out of the classroom and out into the hallway. Releasing a heavy sigh, he shook his head. <<’I have so much work to do....and so little time.’>> Brageet chirped lightly and nibbled at his hair affectionately. <<’Darling, the paperwork can wait. Go enjoy the rain, it’s your favorite….then take us home. You can take a hot bath and rest. Taking one day off won’t cause the Academy to collapse.’>> Brageet said lovingly, cozying up to his head with a chirp.
Smirking a bit, he knew that Brageet was right, and he was very tired…<<’I supposed that is true…’>> turning for the door, he stepped out of the classroom and out into the hall. <<’It is and you deserve the day off…so take it.’>> Smiling to himself, he stepped out into the rain without hesitation.
With the steady downpour of drops, Gannon was soaked through in no time. Chuckling to himself, he loved the feel of the cold, the freshness of the drops. Brageet shook her feathers to rid herself of the drops, cooing lightly as she did. Amused, Gannon simply let the drops soak into his hair and clothes as he walked, heading for the Courtyard.
As he walked through the rain, a long figure caught his eye. With hands outstretched, the figure soaked up the rain, clearly enjoying the feeling of it as it fell around them. Upon closer inspection, he was surprised, and a bit delighted, to see that it was Elohari who stood before him. Gannon stood off to the side, just observing for a moment in silence. <<’I think she and I will get along very well.’>> He said to Brageet, who chuckled in amusement as she fluffed her feathers again. Smiling to himself, Gannon headed out of the courtyard and toward the forest toward his home, ready for a quiet night of rest and relaxation.

So this is the first day of school for the young ninja. After all that sailing and traveling, this is where he ended up. This academy that's been made about a few years ago. Of course, Nanashi Kuzunoha himself somewhat knew how to use his raiment very well due to his... Time as a bandit. Now that he's here, he feels as if there's nothing really much left for him to learn. But it could be a good house if it is. "Hey! You the new kid!?" A voice sounded from behind him, as Nanashi was looking up at the academy. Turning around, he saw a group of three teens, somewhat taller than him. "What's up with that hair? Bad haircut or something?" The middle one said. And who the ******** would you three rag dressed freaks be? Nanashi scoffed, as he spat to the floor. And I don't like the way you three are lookin' at me! He said as the three surrounded him. "Someone got jokes! Let's teach him a lesson!" They said, as the three went in on him. Smiling, Nanashi rushed in, for a forward punch on one guy, before back flipping behind a second guy to hit him in the back of the neck, instantly knocking him out, and the third one met with a left knee in the face before bringing his elbow down on the back of the boy's head. The three lay on the floor knocked out unconscious in front of Nanashi as he smirked. Although, this did mean that he'd be in trouble if he stayed. Aw s**t! I gotta get to class.... Nanashi muttered, as he ran off, leaving the three on the floor three coins. ((Exits to Elementor Class))

Entering from the Kingdom of Valor
╔═══════════════════
Riding down the winding path of the forest road to the Academy, Kayl leaned against the edge of his carriage's window as the trees slowly cleared from his view. The carriage was clearing the forest, and the Grand Academy of Eoana could be seen in the distance. Looking up at the large structure, Kayl was curious of what to expect. He was sorted and placed into a class based of off the description of what his power was, and so he wondered if anyone else had a similar power, or a similar problem. Looking out at the large courtyard as the carriage came to a stop, Kayl took a minute to look over himself before adjusting his tunic and waiting for the driver to open his door.
Stepping out onto the courtyard, Kayl looked out at the imposing structures, and started to walk towards the main gates. There were several guards placed about the area, mainly at the main doors of the Academy. For a moment, Kayl looked up and around him as he took in the sights. He noted that there weren't too many people walking about the Academy. 'Perhaps classes were already underway' he thought as he started getting close to the main gates. Kayl stopped at the gates and looked back at the path he just walked on, his things being carried by a servant whom would return to Valor with the driver after settling Kayl's things into his new dorm. As Kayl looked around, a frustrated expression briefly held his face. "Where is that idiot..." Kayl said aloud as he crossed his arms in front of his chest and waited a moment. "I told him late morning."
Kayl might have been surprised if it was anyone else. Nearly a fortnight ago he had sent a letter to a friend who had already been in the Academy for a few years. He wondered if he would be the odd one out, since he was newly starting in this academy as a first year despite being 18 years of ago, and having his raiment for over a decade. Having a friend already in the academy would certainly help him get settled. A least... well... "Who am I kidding..." Kayl said to himself as he walked over to the servant, and held his hand out for his things. "It's fine Davin, I can take it from here, go on back and have a safe trip home," Kayl said as he took his bags and placed them on the ground by his feet. "Tell father I've arrived safe and sound, and that I'll write him within the week," He said before shooing the servant away. Picking up his bags, Kayl made his way over to one of the guards then. "Guard, would be so kind as to tell me how to get to the Diviner classroom, I am new to the Academy and was told my teacher would get me settled in on the grounds..."

Groaning loudly, the prince turned his head away from where the sun was peeking out from the window. He was too tired and wasn't really feeling up to the whole 'showing up to class to learn with people he didn't really want to be in the same room as'. He only tolerated everyone that was at the academy. If he didn't NEED, to talk with them or breath the same oxygen, then why force it? He opened his golden eyes and let out a content sigh, it was much more comfortable in his bed. Even though he didn't want to get up, he had to wonder how Lelyna was doing and if she may be needed him. She was one of the few that he genuinely liked and cared for. He always felt the need to keep a close eye on her. Mikhail normally told himself that it was because she was so fragile. His mind moved to another person that he enjoyed, Kayl. He had to admit that he slightly missed the male. The prince began to wonder what he was doing as well, until it dawned on him. "I SWEAR TO EVERY GOD ABOVE-" Throwing his sheets off, he hopped out of his bed and went toward his desk in search for the letter he had received previously. Said letter stated that Kayl would be arriving, he didn't think it was this morning though. Grasping the folded letter in his hands, he opened it and let his eyes quickly scan its contents. "Tch...I suppose it is this morning. Well, I still have a bit of time to spare. Might as well get ready and show up a few minutes late than not show at all..." Smacking the letter back down on the table, the prince went to grab his attire for the day and quickly get ready.
Once he was done freshening up and having a small amount to eat, he walked through the academy, a permanent scowl on his face as he passed by fellow students. Most saw the tall male and automatically thought that by his facial expression, he didn't want to be there and he that he would attack the first person that made the wrong move. They were absolutely correct. But in all honesty, he was at this moment, he was in a decent mood. Life at the academy would probably be much more bearable now that someone else he had a good relationship with would be attending. The male made his way to the front gate of the school, and quickly hid at the sound of Kayl's voice. He couldn't help but snicker when he heard the male question where he was. Mikhail stayed in his spot for a few minutes before fixing his coat and walking out and coming into view. "Well well, do my eyes deceive me, or is that my dearest friend K?" Placing his hands in his pockets, he moved closer to the guard and Kayl, sending a smirk to Kayl. His attention moved to the guard as his eyes narrowed, "never mind what he said, your help isn't needed anymore. I'll lead him to where he needs to go." Reaching out toward Kayl, he grabbed one of his bags and flung it over his shoulder before motioning his friend to follow him. Mikhail turned and began walking, leading the two toward the academy. "Tell me, how are your feelings toward attending the academy? Did you miss your dear prince?"

"About as much as a papercut..." Kayl retorted sarcastically while rolling his eyes and turning towards the guard that Mikhail had so promptly dismissed. Kayl nodded to the guard as thanks for his service before following the prince towards the academy gates. "Things certainly have been quieter around Valor since you left," He said while catching up and walking by the prince's side. To anyone that could see them now, it would have been an odd sight to see, at least back in Valor. A prince, walking side by side with someone of lower stature, even one as prominent as a De'Valaer. What most did not know however, was although Kayl respected his position, he didn't really care about the royal status quo. Mihkail was his friend, no more no less, and one who had shared many mischievous adventures with him in their youth, or gotten him into trouble... 'Yeah, that's about right...'
"I feel a bit ridiculous, to be honest, and I was surprised father even bothered with this at all, considering how much time has passed. I guess even he felt frustrated. You know we still haven't really figured out how to work this thing..." Kayl said almost jokingly while holding up his hand in the air before him as if there was something there. Mikhail had been one of the first people he trusted with his secret, about the effects his powers had given him, and about how they were barely sure of what it even was. His raiment truly was a fickle thing, so much so that even when the prince tried to replicate it with his own raiment, it wouldn't obey either one of them, and nothing would happen. It didn't make sense. Kayl's frustration was visible on his face for a moment, and he stopped briefly while looking back up at the towering structure that was the academies main building. "As for the school, I have yet to make an opinion," Kayl said as his eyes returned to his dear friend. "I just hope they can help me learn to control this damn power..."
Kayl's voice trailed at the end there a bit. In truth, as annoying as his lack of control over his raiment was, there was an underlying problem that was more pressing to Kayl at the moment. His dreams were getting worse as of late, and Kayl had hoped that perhaps by coming here, that perhaps by spending some time in a new location with a change of pace, maybe his nightmare would subside. This was the one thing he never told anyone. Not even Mikhail. Shaking his head of the thoughts, Kayl started to walk once more. "So, do you have some diabolical plan in store? Or will you be helping me to find my classroom so that I might check into the school officially with my teacher,"

Looking from the corner of his eye, Mikhail glanced at Kayl as he began to walk next to him. "I'd imagine it would be. I'm not there to argue with the king or cause a ruckus. Must have been extremely boring for you, I mean, I am quite entertaining~" It was nice to have someone who looked to him as an equal to talk to him. There wasn't an odd feeling in the air, or restraint in case something that he didn't like was said. No, it was just a normal conversation between two friends, not a prince and a noble. It was actually quite refreshing to Mikhail, made his mood better than it usually was in the mornings. His brow rose as he quietly listened as Kayl spoke. It didn't really surprise him that they hadn't figured out the whole raiment fiasco. It had been a while, but you would think after the long period of time that there would be some progress. Furrowing his brows, he began to think back to the time where he made an attempt to replicate Kayl's raiment to see if it would work, but no luck. It hadn't worked at all. "That does sound quite frustrating... Especially with how long you've both been trying to piece things together. To be honest, perhaps coming here wasn't a bad idea. Something tells me that this place can help you.The professors here are tolerable, and seem to know what they're talking about thankfully. Of course, I'm always here to aid in trying to help control your power. I'm willing to do what I can, although that may not be a lot. Consider yourself special..."
The two proceeded to walk as Mikhail looked around at the few people who were currently out and about. As expected there were not many due to the fact that classes were in session. He was always present in class despite not wanting to be there. Because of his good attendance, he assumed missing one day to show a new student around wouldn't be a bad thing. His ears perked up as he heard Kayl begin to speak again. "Diabolical Plan?" he gave Kayl a playful yet menacing grin as he chuckled. "Oh, don't worry. There'll be quite a few plans in the future. Just you wait~" Clearing his throat, his expression turned back to neutral as he walked a bit ahead of Kayl once again. "Right now though, I suppose I should do the right thing and lead you to your class. It would probably be wise to meet with them first. They can most likely tell you what to expect and how things work around here. I suppose I could as well but... why do what someone else can?" Shaking his head, he adjusted the bag he was carrying and led the way to the Diviner Classroom.
--Mikhail and Kayl exit to Diviner Class--

Eko had his light pink hood pulled far past his face as he weaved through the market near the docks earlier that day. Without him telling them so, no one could have guess he was a noble. Eko was fine with this. The less attention, the less of a chance his parents will find out about his whereabouts. He had run away from home to attend the academy, but that wasn't the only reason. Eko wanted to escape his abusive parents. So when one of his favorite servants informed him about the academy last year, he quickly, and secretly, applied and ran off the attend. And, being in a neutral country, his parents wouldn't be allowed to take him home (or so he hoped). He planned on becoming a Court Mage after graduation, and that proved very possible after seeing he was classed as a high A Class. He still didn't quite understand his Raiment himself, and after being taught more about Raiments he was left more confused. He was classed under 'Enhancer', but he thought that Enhancers could have the option to enhance themselves, not having a permanent enhancement. Then again, Eko had never heard of another Raiment that was always active. Eko had brought quite the large amount of money with him, so he decided to buy a trip in a carriage to the Academy, once he found one. This gave him some privacy on his way, as Eko was just about to have a mental breakdown with all the things happening around him during his short time at the busy docks. In his few minutes of exposure, Eko noticed all the creaky planks on the dock, all the different types of fish in the net nearby, and every chip in the paint on the walls of the buildings. He didn't have photographic memory, but Eko was about as close as you could get. The carriage rolled to a halt, making Eko jump. He was twirling his hair, a hobby the fidgety boy started doing when he was nervous, he stepped out of the dimly lit carriage, and did a double take when he saw the enormous structure before him. Eko was just about ready to hop back in the cozy carriage when the horses began to trot away. Eko closed his eyes, taking deep breaths to calm himself. Then it happened again. A bird chirped, startling Eko to the point of jumping back a bit. One of the horses trotting away made a particularly loud stomp, making Eko jump again. Yep, this is it, I'm over. He thought with a shiver. Eko had been so excited to leave his parents, he hadn't thought of how overwhelming the Academy would be. He pulled his hood back, and nodded at the guards at the gate.
"E-E-Eko Lassila. I-I'm a-a f-first year." He managed. Nope, Eko was not the greatest at interacting with people. One of the guards sighed, and signaled for someone to open the gate. The sudden creaking of metal made Eko's hands instinctively shoot up to cover his face. Another sigh from the guard, and Eko lowered his hands in embarrassment. The guard gestured for him to enter, so he did so. Eko needed a break before going inside. The gate closed behind him with another creak, making Eko jump again. Sighing, Eko sat down on a bench, closing his eyes and taking slow breaths again. But he wasn't alone. The sound of laughter drifted over to him, ruining his concentration to be calm. He jumped again. Sighing, Eko closed his eyes a third time, but his efforts to block everything out were futile. Another reason he wanted to attend the academy. To figure out how the heck to turn his Raiment off. He just sat, twisting his hair and swinging his feet back and forth. Then he hears a small chirp emit from his bag, which startled him. Oh no! He had forgotten about Coco, his pet bird. He quickly retrieved her, petting her and whispering 'I'm so sorry' and just 'sorry' over and over again. He placed her in his lap, where she snuggled up against him. Animals always made him calmer, so Eko stroked her with his thumb, eyes closed, waiting to drift off. -Late that night he Exits-

-Enter Lelyna and Mikhail to the Courtyard-
"Aren't I grumpy everyday...?" As the prince felt the petite girl grab his arm, he instantly looked to the side with a blush on his cheeks. Clearing his throat, they proceeded to walk away from the dorm. He made sure to keep quiet, seeing as he didn't know if anyone else was up yet and he didn't want to disturb anyone's slumber. Mikhail unconsciously let out a sigh of relief when Lelyna mentioned that he could up for lost time later. As they walked, he glanced at her a few times. Unlike some idiotic creatures, he really loved Lelyna's eyes. He thought they were beautiful, he thought she was beautiful. It made him feel special that she really only let them be seen if they were alone. Her grey eyes were one of the things that made her unique. It was one of the little things that set her apart from everyone else. He was glad that she was able to allow him to see them.
Mikhail led them out to the courtyard and looked around to see that it was currently raining. He could tell the weather today wouldn't be the greatest. Luckily, they were under one of the covered areas of the courtyard, so they weren't going to get wet. What he noticed though was that it was a bit chilly. If the rain were to touch them even only slightly, it would be a bit more on the colder side. Mikhail pulled away from Lelyna and began to remove is coat. He then placed it carefully on her so that she would be warm. The prince knew he would be fine, the cold never really bothered him anyway much. Extending his arm out, he wrapped it around Lelyna and held her a bit close, so his warmth could reach her. "It's quite gloomy out, a bit chilly as well. Hopefully this will keep you warm..." Pausing, he thought of what else he should say or ask. "So... how was your class yesterday? I trust it went well?"
████████████████████████████████

The smell for fresh rain was always so refreshing. While Lelyna preferred a soft rain to the hard-beating droplets of a thunderstorm, she knew there was no controlling the weather. With the changing of the fall, the thunder and lightning storms would become more prevalent and soon it would get cold enough for those drops to freeze and turn to snow.
As the breeze blew through the little covered walkway, Lelyna felt a chill roll through her. She regretted not grabbing a shawl or sweater while she’d had the chance. She would have gone back to get one, but that would only make her late to class and she couldn’t have that. She hugged Mikhail’s arm a bit tighter, seeking his warmth. To her utter surprise, he pulled away from her. Instantly thinking that he didn’t want her to be close to him like that, she felt a bit saddened.
With the steady pitter patter of rain slamming against the ground, Lelyna’s normally acute hearing was a bit, for lack of a better word, static. So, when Mikhail moved to remove his jacket for her, she could hear him moving, but couldn’t discern what he was doing, given all the sound around her. So when she felt his warm, oversized jacket drape her shoulders, she was caught a bit off guard. Blushing a bit at the gesture, she didn’t have time to thank him before he surprised her again by wrapping an arm around her shoulders to pull her close.
“T-Thank you, Mikhail…that was really sweet of you.” Reaching up, she grasped the lapels of the coat with one hand to hold it closed. “Class was definitely interesting…Professor Gannon is interviewing a candidate for the Diviner Professor Position, so she was teaching the class in his place. She is a bit odd, but I like her. She seems kind and open to the views of the students. I’m looking forward to learning more from her.” She said with a smile as she walked alongside her friend, her side pressing into him as they walked, his warmth seeping into her.
“Your friend Kayl is very interesting as well. He had a lot to say during class, even though it was his first day. I have the impression that he struggles with his raiment just as much, or more, than I do.” Mikhail was well aware of how her raiment affected her physically. He’d taken her to the infirmary a time or two after she’d overexerted herself. "Is he a friend of yours from back home?" Mikhail didnt talk much about 'home' whether it was Valor or Trendel, but she could tell that the two boys were close.
