A wide grin was upon the mute girl as she walked with her close friend into the enormous room that was the Academy's Auditorium. To think that after only being around for a few months she was already present in such a fancy location to celebrate her close friends Graduation. Whoa... To think, in a few years... Any chance to be in this location would be great to the Elementor, but those thoughts will need to rest for the day.
It was great to see her friends mother attend this event, and Eryli was more than thrilled to help get Lelyna all prepped, she could simply squeal with joy for the Diviner girl, but just giddy skips in her steps would have to do.
Eryli would listen to the mother and daughter as they conversed... Now she's settled into the Academy, maybe it'll be about time to get a letter to her own family, see how they're getting on.
Thoughts were halted however upon hearing the steps of an approaching male, specifically one of Lelyna's classmates and friend, Kayl. She'd never really sat down and attempt to converse with the man, at most she was just able to recognise him at a glance, other than that, she didn't really know him. The white-haired mute flashed a big smile and a nod of the head to his greeting and then tapped her heel against the ground for Lelyna. "I wonder where your prince is anyway." The Elementor couldn't help but be a little surprised he wasn't attached to her buddy the moment they left the dorm.
Today was the day Ivar had been dreading for the longest time, yet with his future looking brighter, he felt more at peace with his situation. He woke up early in order to give himself time to prepare for graduation. Most of his things had already been packed up and moved out of his room, he only had a small suitcase which would be picked up later by one of his parent's servants. "The year went by so quickly.... I will really miss this place," he whispered to himself before he got dressed in his suit and robes. The ceremony started in two hours, giving him time to grab a quick breakfast from the school canteen and time to meet up with his parents outside the entrance to the Auditorium. He approached the entrance he could see a slender man in an ivory coloured suit with a white cane. Next to him stood a smaller lady with white hair and piercing blue eyes, her facial expression soft and in moving. The man looked quiet sternly towards his son, a boy he had not seen in almost a year. Ivar approached the two nobles, he stopped and bowed without any expression. He slowly straightened up and looked the man in the eye, "It is a pleasure to see you again father," he spoke in a formal tone. He turned to the lady in the purple dress, "It is also a pleasure to see you again mother," continuing to speak as formal as he could possibly muster. The man, without speaking raise his right hand for the boy to shake. Ivar took the hand firmly and shook it also without saying a word. "You finally seem more like a nobleman than the young delinquent you used to be. But you aren't fooling anyone with that fake accent boy," Erik Tyr spoke in a stern tone with a huge smile on his face. The two began to burst out into a fit of laughter while hugging it out. "It's great to see my little champ has finally grown up in such a short amount of time. Though I am shocked to not see another lad on your arm, you seem to be slipping there boy," he joked around as the family made their way into the Auditorium. "You're one to talk old man, you and mother didn't even meet until you were both twenty two," he grumbled in response.
The family spoke for a while, catching up on each other's lives. Ivar had told his parents of the classes he took, the friends he had made, the progress he made on controlling his raiment. Ivar's mother was especially relieved to hear that Ivar had controlled his raiment, she was tired of him ruining their furniture. The family spoke until it was almost time for the ceremony. Ivar hugged his parents one last time before taking a seat with his fellow students.
Whomever had come up with the analogy, ‘time flies’, was right. It was hard to believe that it had been over two months since he’d lost his precious Otsanda. During that time, Reynard, with General Lennox’s help, and the help of their men, had done all that they could to investigate Otsanda’s murder. Despite numerous searches through the woods, Reynard had failed to find her body.
Worse, there had been more disappearances – a former Academy student by the name of Henry Reinherdt who had been staying in the city and working at a local shop, and a local girl by the name of ‘Pepin’ who, despite numerous warnings, had gone into the woods to forage by herself. She’d been missing for a few weeks and no one had seen her since. What was most troubling about all of these disappearances was that like Otsanda, the people that were missing were all young, strong and healthy individuals.
No matter how many times they combed the woods or the city, there was no trace of the missing people. It was so frustrating. The more he obsessed over the missing person’s cases the faster time seemed to slip away. Meanwhile, Diane was a pillar of support and confidence. Despite not being from Eoana., she’d kept her word and was doing all she could to help the City and support its people in their time of need. With all the disappearances, and assumed deaths, the internal investigation had been placed on hold for the time being. Until further notice, General Lennox and her men were honorary guards of Eoana.
With the Academy’s Graduation Ceremony taking place today, the city guards were on alert. A detail consisting of Sarai, Cyrus, Yukira, Diane and himself, were stationed both inside and outside the Grand Auditorium for the event. Although Yukira had yet to show up for her shift. The rest of his guards were spread through the city, keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity. Reynard suspected that if someone else was going to go missing, it would be during a big event.
Currently stationed at the Grand Auditorium, Reynard kept his eyes peeling for any suspicious activity. So far, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Just students with their families, friends as well as staff filing into the building for the ceremony. Releasing a sigh, he kept his hands behind his back and his eyes peeled. With any luck, nothing bad would happen today.
Cyrus hadn't expected to have been posted actually inside the Grand Auditorium, but he certainly wasn't going to complain - A second set of senses on the inside was an added defense when it came to spotting anything that might have slipped past the first watch that was the Captain's keen eye - and as an added benefit, he also had a good view of the Graduation Ceremony as well!
There were a few faces he recognised as they made their way through the doors and it was hard to think that some of the students he'd met over his time as a Guard were taking their leave at the turn of the year... Of course, with many others around and even talk of new faces appearing, he was certain to find others to fill the void, but they would still be missed.
With more cases of missing students turning up over such a short amount of time, security had once again been stepped up - with more guards being posted around to ensure the safety of the students and just as importantly, their families, it was imperative that the Tiger kept his eyes peeled for any signs of suspicious activity and reported it immediately.
They were still advised to maintain watch for the Elderly Couple, but with aging parents and even Grandparents attending to see their younglings graduate, it wouldn't be right to jump at just anyone - even if they matched the varying descriptions that had been collected. The Guards had been advised to pass the message along and refrain from getting involved until there were enough hands on deck to manage if things turned to trouble.
He had to admit though, watching as the hall gradually filled up, it was quite astonishing to see exactly how many people were present at the Academy. The Tiger was certain there would be others in and around the site that weren't actually in attendance - Tutors and Students alike that were either unable to be present due to other commitments or workload, or like some people he knew, had decided to avoid the throng completely for more personal reasons... Still, it was a sight to see and in the back of his mind, Cyrus couldn't help but silently ponder if their pre-rehearsed evacuation plans were actually going to work as smoothly as they'd practiced should something actually occur...?

The long-awaited graduation day had barely begun, and Gianna was already feeling her emotions run wild. Maybe it was the fact that Gin dressed up for the occasion or the fact that she was seeing the set up for the event. Either way, she knew that she would be a mess seeing her dear son go up on that stage. The female entered with Ven and Gin, taking a breath and looking around her. She took in all the sights and decorations. They had truly outdone themselves. As her blue eyes glanced around, everything was becoming more and more real. Gin was really graduating. It felt like just last week that he had come to the academy in hopes of taking steps closer to mastering his raiment. She knew that he worked hard for this moment and surpassed the obstacles to finally end up here.
Looking at Gin, she offered him a soft smile back. There was no way she would miss something so special, so important. It was her son’s graduation for goodness sakes. ”Are you joking, love? Of course, we would come. We wouldn’t miss this for the world. We’re so proud of you and all that you’ve accomplished.” Hugging him, she planted a kiss on his temple then pouted at him. ”No promises… words don’t begin to describe how proud I am for you and how much you mean to me.” Giving him another squeeze, she hesitantly let him pull back as she stepped back toward Ven. ”Go on, we’ll see you in a bit.”

Stepping into the Grand Auditorium, the male glanced at his surroundings. The prince kept his head held high as he felt a strong sense of pride. When he had first decided to attend the academy, he dreaded how long the years would feel and how slow time would pass. But, it all had changed. One day he had entered the academy not being able to stand anyone and with a decent knowledge of his raiment. Before he knew it, he reached A-Class well before his final year and slowly allowed himself to connect with and get to know more people. To say he was not only surprised, but proud of his progress was and understatement. To think that now all of his hard work had paid off. He was now about to graduate. To make things better, not only was he graduating along side his love Lelyna, someone close to his heart had come to attend.
As he felt someone take his arm, he glanced down and gave a warm smile to the one who had stepped to him. It was none other than his beloved mother, Alecia. She had traveled per his request to attend his graduation. Many were confused about the woman, thinking that the queen was his real mother. But what more of the older people knew was that, that wasn’t the case. Especially if you looked at him and his real mother side by side. He took almost all of her looks. ”Oh love, everything looks absolutely wonderful. You are a lucky man. Everyone here seems to be wanting to show how excited they are for yours and everyone else’s accomplishments.” His golden eyes held nothing but admiration as he nodded. His mother was the only one who ever understood him and truly loved him for almost all of his life. He didn’t get to see her as much as he wanted, so when he did, he savored each moment. ”Of course, they’ve all worked hard.” The prince blinked as his mother pat his hair down, ”You’ve come so far my little prince, I’m so blessed to have you as my son.” With a smile, he led her further in, telling her how blessed he was to have her as his mother.

-- Day Flip, Day of Graduation Ceremony --
It was a shame that his date with Makoto didn't last long, and he was back to being single. Eventually, aside from having to keep himself fashionable, he went on with a drastic change; a few days before the event, he stared at himself at the mirror in his room, in his house, and trimmed his hair short with a pair of scissors. It was another way for him to move on, to start anew, and to recover from his past heartbreaks. He may have talked things out with Gannon, knowing the truth behind Elohari's departure, but Makoto abruptly leaving the musician alone was of a different story altogether.
Back in the present day, the day of the graduation event, Lerato was staring at the graduates who would soon be given praise by Gannon himself during the speech later on. He saw his ex contemplating; Brageet's owner would be the one doing the honors for getting the event started with his words, and gave him a gentle pat on the shoulder. "Times have gone by quickly, huh? Seeing them progressing to who they are now and there are others who have a long way to go before taking their turn.” However, the touch was only brief, and the court mage let go of him after a few seconds. "Good luck on your speech, and I'm sure she will be happy at your effort to start things off for this special day,” he spoke, his smile minuscule but with a trace of warmth, before leaving to the seats located in the auditorium. With his hair cut, some of the tips were just touching his shoulders, though others were close to his chin. It would be still be considered lovely, but in a sense that it wouldn't be too fussy. All in all, Lerato was still handsome, but he just wouldn't be the same ever again.
He chose one of the front seats since he wanted to take a good look on how the ceremony would go. It was a shame that he left his clarinet inside his house; Lerato was in the mood to play a song but that would wait, at least until the ceremony would be done for.

~ Catherine entered the Grand Auditorium ~
It took longer that she'd hoped but she was finally in the Academy, free to explore its halls and attend its classes but most of all, the reason she originally fled home to begin with. Unfortunately with such a large building there wasn't much she could do in terms of where to look. That was until she overheard the graduation ceremony... What would the odds be that people wouldn't be attending, be it to graduate or spectate?
After some time of stalking students to find it, she was at the Auditorium, her ears flicked to life, focused on every sound around her, the laughs, the tears of joy, any small hint. "Come on..!" She hissed in frustration, there were too many things going on at once for Cathy to focus on. No way was she gonna find anybody the way things were going, the Shifter girl moved carefully throughout the room, her eyes darting around with intense focus.
"Son of a... Ugh, it's going to take forever to find him at thi... This... Rate..?" For a moment, her ears picked SOMETHING up through the crowd. Like a predator spotting prey, her focus was set on the direction of that brief voice. Weaving through crowds, she would stay set on that direction until coming to a halt as just up ahead, she'd recognise the hair and ears without even trying. "B-broth..." She stammered.
After a pause and tears welling up, the world around her was pushed aside as she sprinted from behind the seemingly unsuspecting male. "Y... You dummy..!!" Her voice rose as she leapt straight at Gin, crashing into his back where she would tightly cling to by his shoulders, holding herself back from bursting into tears as she popped her head over his left shoulder and glared at the male in a mix of anger and relief.
Lelyna smiled at Eryli’s taps and shook her head. “I’m not worried about him. Mikhail’s mother came to see him graduate, I think he wanted to spend some extra time with her prior to the ceremony.” From what Lelyna knew, Mikhail’s mother had arrived yesterday. Lelyna had yet to meet her personally, but Mikhail assured her that he wanted her to meet his mother. Lelyna had to admit, she was a little nervous about meeting Mikhail’s mother, but she hoped that she would make a good impression.
As the trio headed toward the seats, Lelyna tilted her head to the side slightly, a smile breaking out over her features as she heard Kayl approach. Laughing a bit at his words, words that echoed Eryli’s she shook her head. “Everyone seems to be surprised that Mikhail isn’t at my side. Do we really go everywhere together?” She said out loud only to shrug a shoulder and chuckle. “I suppose you’re right…we do go everywhere together…. And thank you for the compliment, Kayl, my mother made my dress.” As Lelyna spoke, she felt her mother’s grasp on her arm tighten slightly and her breaths quicken.
Whilst Kayl spoke with Eryli, Lelyna tilted her head toward her mother. The auditorium was steadily filling with people but despite the noise, Lelyna could faintly detect that her mother’s heartbeat had increased. “Mother?” She whispered, only to hear Kayl address her mother by name.
Turning her attention back to Kayl, she offered him a smile – he’d remembered her mother’s name. She was surprised since she’d only mentioned her mother by name once or twice in conversation, but Kayl had taken care to remember. Lelyna had been about to say something when she smelled the familiar scent of lilacs and lavender as Sylrenya landed on her shoulder and whispered her congratulations. “Thank you Sylrenya…” Lelyna said with a smile, happy that her little friend was attending the graduation ceremony as well.
Distracted by Sylrenya’s presence, Lelyna didn’t notice the way Elenora reacted to Kayl’s presence aside from what she’d already noted. Unbeknownst to her, her mother’s gaze was locked onto Kayl. If Lelyna had seen it, and she would later, from another’s memory, she would have described Elenora’s look as one of surprise, sadness, happiness and longing. It was as if her mother was looking at a ghost…
As Kayl moved to bow, speaking his full name, Lelyna heard the barest whisper come from her mother’s lips – a whisper that carried Kayl’s full name. While Lelyna had told her parents of Kayl’s kindness, she’d never told them his full name. Was it possible that her mother knew him or maybe someone from his family? Perhaps she’d been commissioned to make clothes for his mother at one point?
Elenora couldn’t help but stare at the handsome young man that stood before her. Unbeknownst to her daughter, her eyes misted with tears and her throat clenched a little. As Kayl straightened back up from his bow, she did her best to smile and look happy – she was happy to finally meet him of course, Lelyna had told her how Kayl had helped her at the Gala…
“Kayl…it is wonder to…meet you.” Grasping Lelyna’s arm for a moment, she drew in a breath as she observed the boy. “Lelyna told her father and I how you helped her in her time of need, and how close you’ve become over the last several months. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness.” Elenora cleared her throat a little, as she felt herself get a little emotional.
Offering him a smile of reassurance, she glanced down at Lelyna for a moment before looking back at Kayl. “I wonder if I might offer you a motherly hug of gratitude?” It might be an odd request, but it was one she hoped he’d accept. To her relief and delight, he accepted after a moment of hesitation. Releasing Lelyna’s arm, Elenora stepped forward and drew Kayl into an affectionate, loving hug. Drawing him close, she held him tight for several long, lingering moments. She held on probably longer than was proper, or expected, but she couldn’t help it.
It was with great reluctance that she slowly released him. Looking down into his eyes, she smiled. Lightly touching his cheek, she gave him a little nod. “Thank you, for everything.”
Surprised by the interaction and her mother’s reaction, Lelyna felt that there was something that her mother wasn’t saying, but there didn’t seem to be time to ask what. Ushers moved forward to direct the guests to their seats. Sensing that her mother, for whatever reason, wanted to spend more time with Kayl, she looked to her friend. “Kayl, would you mind staying with Eryli and my mother? I’m sure Mikhail will want all of us together after the ceremony…” She said with a smile.
When he agreed, she smiled and thanked him before turning to her mother. “Well…this is it…I’ll be back soon.” Hugging her mother lightly, she smiled a bit nervously. Sylrenya’s weight on her shoulder soon vanished as the fae flew back to Kayl. Bidding Eryli, Kayl and her mother a quick goodbye, an Usher came to help her to the front row where the other graduates would be seated along with the staff. Taking her seat, she felt butterflies fluttering in her stomach, for more than one reason….
Gin chuckled at Gia’s words and her last-second embrace. It wasn’t as if they would be far apart. As members of the faculty Ven and Gia would be a row or two behind him, but he understood that this was a big moment for them as well so they were hesitant to let him go. “Love you guys... See ya in a bit.” That being said, Gin slipped away and began to move toward the front row of the seating area.
With the auditorium so crowded and noisy, Gin didn’t notice the scampering of hurried steps behind him until it was too late. Hearing shouted words, he meant to turn to look… But, before he could react, he was doing an impression of a tree, complete with a curious creature climbing on his back! Ears going flat for a moment, he began to growl only to catch a scent that he hadn’t smelled in years – Catherine.
As she poked her head over his shoulder, Gin’s eyes went wide with disbelief and a slew of other emotions that he couldn’t name at the moment. Swallowing hard, he stared at her for several long moments before coming back to himself. “Catherine…!?” After what felt like hours, he felt tears spring to his eyes. “W…Where the hell have you been?!” He scolded lightly, in his old ‘big-brotherly manner’ and tone, the way he’d used to talk to her all the time, before he’d come to the Academy.
Before anything else could be said however, an usher stepped up to try to direct him to his seat and Catherine away to another section. “Time to take your seat, miss.” The man said a bit sternly. Growling low, Gin narrowed his gaze on the man.
“Like hell she’s gonna sit somewhere else…we’re a package deal.” The usher seemed surprised by Gin’s words and his tone, but he didn’t argue further and instead simply gestured toward the front row. Huffing a little, Gin reached back to support Rin’s legs as he walked forward so that she couldn’t slip off his back while he moved. Upon reaching the front, he took a seat next to Lelyna, who he knew was dating the Prince of Valor and who was rarely away from his side. It was curious that she was alone now.
Sitting on the very edge of the seat as to not crush Rin, he glanced back at his long-lost sister. “Don’t even think of scampering off, Rin. We have a lot to discuss... Just hang tight.” He didn’t care if she literally hung on his back for the rest of the ceremony, he wasn’t letting his little sister out of his sight…
Leo was dressed in a nice dress. She had become the teacher for beginners in combat. She walked into the ceremony with her arm linked in Leon's. Her eyes shifting around to see if any of her students were graduating or if she could see others she knew. She was in such high spirits. Her eyes slowly moving to Leon as she smiled at him. She gave a sweet nuzzle before looking around the room once more. "Leon this is exciting. I get to teach now as well as work my shop. It is nice to see students graduating." She wrapped her tail around his as she looked like an elegant flower.
She was excited for the whole day. She was ready to meet her students for the upcoming year. She looked at him as she soon pictured something. She blushed as she looked to the side. "Our cubs could come here and become well-modeled adults when they are old enough. I mean when we actually get to that part of our life." She has had babies on the brain. She had been making very small outfits for children. She didn't mean to be too bad of a problem. Just being around the youth had her thinking of her very own future. She was ready for the next step.
Two months have come and gone. Each day was filled with new experiences and each week, there was something going on in the city of Eoana. The disappearances didn’t stop. The next thing Diane and her men knew, two more had ended up going missing. It made her heart hurt to know that they were so young. They still had so much to look forward to. Whoever was doing this was sick and truly needed to be put to a stop. Her and her men worked diligently alongside the Eoana city guard. As promised, she did what she could for Reynard and his men. The female took time to make sure that Reynard was healing from his hurt and did what she could to support him when he needed it.
Diane had spent time getting to know the city a bit more. She had explored a bit and gotten to know some of the kind folk that lived there. She had even gotten close with the lovely people who lived near her father’s summer home. A group of ladies had taken interest in the general. Despite them being odd companions, they were lovely ones at the same time. In the time that had passed, Eoana had crept its way into a special place in her heart, along with its townspeople. Diane had even been reunited with Princess Cathy and Prince Mikhail. While part of her assignment was to watch over the two, the thought of being able to interact personally and connect wasn’t one of the parts. But, to her joy, she got to catch up with the two and enjoy their company like she had before they left for the academy. It made her proud to see how much they had grown.
Now, at the Graduation, she got to get a glimpse of the Prince graduating. Sure, she was on duty, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t celebrate. Entering the auditorium with some of her men behind her, she turned and gave them orders. Diane had brought them as some extra eyes. This was an extremely important event, who knew what could happen. With the record of disappearances slowly adding up, she wasn’t taking any chances. Once she finished her talk with them, she glanced around and caught sight of a familiar male. Raising a brow and grinning, she walked toward him. Her heels clicked as she flipped her hair off of her shoulder and stood in front of him. ”Is that the towns favorite Fox~? she decided to tease him a bit before smiling. ”I’m glad to see you and everyone else on high alert. Everyone looks so happy and excited…I want it to remain that way and not have them worry about anything other than what their child is going to do after they graduate.”

Gannon was roused from his thoughts and contemplations but the touch of a hand upon his shoulder. Hissing in a startled breath for a moment, he turned to look at Lerato. Instantly relaxing a bit, he breathed a small sigh of relief. However, his relief soon turned toward concern at the sight of Lerato’s short hair. The male had always had such lovely, long hair…While the short cut did flatter his facial features, Gannon found that he much preferred the longer look on his ex. Hearing his friend’s words, Gannon nodded a bit, looking back out toward the crowd of students, families and guests. “Yes…time seems to be fleeting as of late.” He mused lightly, this thoughts turning inevitably toward Elohari.
Soon the feel of Lerato’s hand slipped away from his shoulder. Looking back at him, Gannon had to wonder if his colleague and friend had sensed where his thoughts had slipped away to…Nodding a little, he caught sight of Lerato’s small, yet warm smile as he stepped away to take his seat in front of the stage. Gannon would have preferred the staff to sit on the stage, but that could be distracting and this day was for the Graduates.
Stepping out of the wings of the stage, Gannon approached the podium. He stood there for a moment before speaking. “Good Afternoon everyone. If you could all take your seats, we will begin the ceremony shortly.” While his stomach was doing flip flops, Gannon felt proud that he’d gotten through that little portion without sounding too nervous.
So, this was it. Rick turned his head to watch as his fellow Graduates too their seats, then cast a glance around in search of Branwen. The White Raven wasn't too hard to spot in the heights above the crowds and he smiled, nodding quietly to himself as he looked towards The Court Mage as he started to speak.
He'd been trying to think of his aspirations following the Graduation Ceremony - Although he was quite capable of heading back home to his family, should he really feel so guilty extending this time away from them? He was certain that regardless of so many cousins and the likes, he was still missed, there was his Grandfa as well - the man was aging well, but Rick was certain the old dog had a few runs left in him yet...besides, he was certain others would seek him out if anything happened.
In the end, the Diviner had felt he could achieve so much more in the Graduate's Program - and why not? He was a good student in his own opinion and although his luck with friends had been quite fleeting as of late, there was still time to make new acquaintances.
As he watched Lelyna take her seat, he cast her a brief wave in her direction, then quietly cursed himself as he recalled that her ailment prevented her from seeing such things... "Idiot..." he frowned, looking away before glancing back, "I don't know about you...but I'm a bag of nerves..." he whispered, scratching the back of his head as he smiled towards her,

As Sylrenya quietly spoke with Lelyna, Kayl stood from his bow as he looked down at Elenora. The expression on her face drew a bit of confusion from Kayl, as he noted her eyes watering a bit when she spoke. She greeted him in return, and thanked him for being so kind to her daughter and cleared her throat as if regaining her composer. Kayl shook his head and smiled at her, "No need to thank me, Ma'am, Lelyna is one of my dearest friends, I would do the same for much less..." Kayl started to say, but then Lelyna's mother caught him off guard with her request. "Uh..." He let out briefly before looking at Lelyna and then back down at Elenora. "Sure, yeah of course..." He let out while opening his arms for her. Returning the hug in kind, Kayl smiled and shook his head at the gesture in disbelief. However after a moment, when he released her, he noted that she held on for just a few moments longer, her body shivering lightly before she released. Kayl couldn't help but feel like something was off as she thanked him once more. What was happening? 'Does she... know me?'
Before any more thought on the matter took place, Lelyna cut in and made a request of Kayl. "Uh, yes, I don't mind at all," Kayl said while nodding lightly and letting the rest of them wish her good luck. "Good luck Lelyna," Sylrenya said before lifting off of her shoulder and heading back to Kayl's shoulder. Kayl suddenly felt the light weight on his shoulder as well, and saw the little Fae's wings beat for a moment as she sat on his shoulder, smiling. A moment later, Gannon had made an announcement for everyone to take their seats, and Kayl quickly started to guide them towards the seats.
