Black Eagles: Alastair-Dorms-Grimm Alastair looked at the staircase he had pointed out. Important people? he thought. He shrugged not feeling like answering what he meant. Maybe Fodlan was similar to how his tribe ran things? Such as people being related to the chief were to be shown the same amount as respect as the chief himself. He observed the dorms that were outside, they were different from what he was suspecting.

(Ahh. Do you ever not notice that there's a new page and think no-ones replied yet? >_<)
Black Eagles | Grimm ✧ "Right. Well, I'm going to find my room," Grimm said, an air of finality to his tone. He didn't really feel like carrying the conversation any further and he still had stuff to drop off. He shifted on his feet, hoping Alastair didn't want him to stick around. His room was supposed to be a bit further up if he remembered correctly, equidistant between the greenhouse and the training grounds.

Black Eagles:
Nora - Noble Dorms - Neason, Searc
"Looks like you're the first house leader I meet here, then," Nora replied. At Neason's question she nodded but before she could answer Searc had already spoken up. For a second she thought she saw him making a face at Neason's words and fought back a chuckle that was trying to escape her. "Yes, you are correct," she said instead. "I haven't met my housemates yet, though. But I assume it's the same for you two as well."
Vincent - Fishing Pond - Pierce
Vincent nodded at Pierce's introduction. So that guy was from the Kingdom of Faerghus. "Then it seems like we're in different classes. I am a member of the Black Eagles," he said, keeping a polite smile. He didn't want to make any early judgements about Pierce just based on the fact that he was from the Kingdom after all. For now he would keep an open mind about him. "Fishing aside, is there anything else here that got your interest? There are so many things to do here after training."
Golden Deer:
Callan - Golden Deer classroom - Estelle
"Still a lot of time then," Callan said. Maybe even enough time to mentally prepare for meeting the others. He had never interacted with too many people so he probably wouldn't know any of his classmates. It was probably different for Estelle and the other nobles. "You also haven't run into one of the others yet, have you?" He asked. While it still didn't feel right to him to just chat with a noble it was probably better than spending the next hour in silence.
Blue Lions:
Agnar - Courtyard - Luca
Agnar looked up when he noticed someone approaching him. He waved back and nodded. When Luca sat down as well he gave a polite smile. "Nice to meet you, Luca. I'm Agnar. One of Blue Lions house." He looked the other boy over for a moment but it seemed like Luca wasn't someone he had already met before. "What about you? I mean, what house do you belong to?"

Black Eagles: Alastair-Dorms-Grimm Alastair looked at him. "See you at the meeting I suppose," he said. He looked away from him and walked off to look at the rooms to find which one was his. He didn't mind the conversation drawing to a close, they both had things to do in regards to settling in. He looked at the notes on the doors before finding one that had his name on it.

Black Eagles | Grimm ✧ Grimm nodded and turned away, "See you," It didn't take him long to find his door. He closed it behind him and began to sort out his belongings: a couple of lances leaning against the wall, another pair of riding boots, a book on tactics given to him by his brother, his clothes and a few other miscellaneous items. Better to get everything in order before the meeting.
Golden Deer | Estelle ✯ "I saw some people on the way in, but I didn't get the chance to talk to any of them," Estelle considered taking a seat at one of the desks, then decided against it. She ought to be polite, "I'm excited to meet everyone else though!" Her curiosity strengthened the more she thought about the other students of the Golden Deer house, "Honestly, it's perfect because I want to train in black magic and that just so happens to be one of Professor Philomel's specialties!"

Golden Deer: Neason-Noble Dorms-Nora, Searc Neason smiled at her. "There is a house meeting going to be happening today, so you will get to meet all your housemates," he said. Did he know where such meetings where going to be taken place? No he didn't. "No not yet, we just got here not to long ago. So we haven't meet anyone besides you."
Searc-Noble Dorms-Nora, Neason(both briefly) Searc listened to the conversation. Starting to lose interest he gave a bow, excusing himself and headed off for the stairs. He was hoping to find the training grounds first before doing anything else. Knowing where it was and how to get there would help him plan out times he felt would be good to go there.
Blue Lions: Pierce-Fishing Pond-Vicnent "I like to research about the other countries of Fodlan," he responded to him. "How about you?" He didn't mind talking to a student from another house. It would help him get a better understanding of the Officer's Academy and be able to potentially learn more about the empire and alliance from first hand sources.

Golden Deer:
Callan - Golden Deer classroom - Estelle
Well, at least one of us is, Callan thought as Estelle mentioned how excited she was to meet the rest of the class. He just gave an awkward smile and nodded. At the mention of black magic however his eyes lit up in excitement. While he knew dark magic instead of black magic it was still close enough to be useful to him. "You too?! I can't wait to learn more about it!" It took him a second to realize his excited outburst but now it was already too late to take it back. Great. Just great. Way to act in front of a noble.

Golden Deer | Estelle ✯ Estelle's eyes rounded, "We have that in common then!" She said happily, clapping her hands together. Callan's outburst had surprised her a little, but it was exciting to know that she had a classmate who shared her interest in magic. It likely meant they would training together a lot, "What are some other things you like?" While she had been curious before, finding a commonality had certainly piqued it.

Black Eagles:
Nora - Noble Dorms - Neason
"Oh, right. Still, it would be nice to meet at least some of them before," Nora said. With a nod she acknowledged Searc excusing himself before she turned back to Neason again. "Well, looks like now is the perfect time to go look for them. We won't meet to many people by just staying here." With that she made her way down the stairs, glancing over her shoulder to see if Neason was following behind or not.
Vincent - Fishing Pond - Pierce
"So the library would be the place for you then," Vincent concluded. "I will be using it for some research as well. Though in my case it would be about crests." He smiled a little at the thought. He wouldn't have to limit his research to just the library as he would also get to see crest bearers like himself in action.
Golden Deer:
Callan - Golden Deer classroom - Estelle
"Uh... I'm really looking forward to get some training in flying," Callan said carefully, though he still sounded excited. "I've always liked pegasi and wyverns. Aside from training though..." he thought about it for a moment, not sure how much he wanted to share. "Nothing special, really. I just like to write some silly made-up tales. Or play music." He looked away for a second, hoping it hadn't sounded too stupid, and then nodded to Estelle. "So, what about you?"

Golden Deer: Neason-Noble Dorms-Nora Neason followed after her, he saw her point, standing around wouldn't get things done. "I just hope I can get along with the people in my house," he commented. He also had the hope that he could get along with the professor, or at the very least was able to stand him. "What do you think of the academy though?"
Blue Lions: Pierce-Fishing Pond-Vincent Pierce tilted his head to the side. He never thought of studying the crests, though the concept didn't really intrigue him as much as researching the countries did. "Yea library would be one place to find me," he said. "Are you crestless than? And that is why you have a fascination with researching it? Or do you have one and just want to learn more about it?"

(Wah. We just had a power-cut :') EDIT: I mean, I legitimately had a power-cut haha All our lights went out.)
Golden Deer | Estelle ✯ Estelle smiled and nodded as she listened, the words 'flying' and 'music' seeming to get the biggest responses out of her, "Well, it just so happens that I brought my own pegasi here," She admitted with a small glance out the door, "Astrophel arrived a few days earlier than we did," She took on a thoughtful expression, "Other than flying... I like music too, but there is very little I prefer to stargazing," To think that we both intend to study magic and flying? What are the odds?

Silke | with Fion
The woman nodded sagely "You may not be considered a fighter, but I imagine you couldn't have made it to house leader without some skill." she may have spoke like she was smart, but in reality Silke just wanted a fight. However, she wasn't the type to force things on others. If Fion didn't want to fight she wasn't about to force it "I guess you'll just have to wait, won't even get to see my skill and have a leg up on others." she shrugged.
Luca | with Agnar
Luca perked up and grinned, pointing to himself "I'm also one of the Blue Lions." he crossed his arms over his chest and nodded "This is the first time meeting another one. Well, I'm sure we'll get along! I've been told i'm quite charming. Worry not though, I value all my friends equally." Luca had a bit of an overbearing personality, or perhaps he was just loud and confident enough to be annoying in that way "What are you here for? A specific reason? An invitation? A goal perhaps? Or are you just here because it was expected of you?"

Blue Lions | Fion ♔ Fion gave her a look, "You really want this, hm?" The boy frowned, then tapped Ambergris' hilt. Was he really going to let Silke goad him into a fight this early? And yet what she had said held some truth even if it was also true that the only reason he was leading the Blue Lions was his bloodline. He wasn't a weakling like his people thought him to be and he knew he could prove himself a worthy house leader. He had to, there wasn't another option, "Not right now," He said after a moment's hesitation, "Come tell me what you've been up to," Fion didn't know Silke all that well. They had met as a matter of course over a number of dinner parties and balls, but why not engage her in conversation for the time being. He was meant to be socialising anyway.

Black Eagles:
Nora - Commoner Dorms - Neason
"You'll know when you meet them," Nora said with a shrug as they reached the end of the stairs. "But it looks like you'll have an easy time approaching them. Not that I can tell for sure, though." She was wondering about her own housemates too but she would get to meet them soon enough. "Well, I haven't really had the time to look around just yet so I can't really say much. For now I'm just curious about our training. But I think I will spend a lot of time at the cathedral. But what do you think so far?"
Vincent - Fishing Pond - Pierce
"I do have one but it's the only one I'm really familiar with," Vincent replied. "Of course I would like to learn more about it but I am even more curious about all the other crests." He shook his head with a wry smile and snorted. "If I didn't have one my parents would have never bothered with sending me here or even acknowledge my existence. But I suppose that's just the way most nobles think."
Golden Deer:
Callan - Golden Deer Classroom - Estelle
As usual Callan kept his gaze a bit lower but he looked up at the mention of Estelle's own pegasus. "Oh, really? I'd love to meet- uh never mind." he immediately broke of upon realizing what he had almost said. Requesting to see the beloved pegasus of not only a stranger but one of such high standing? Out of the question. Not wanting to dwell on it he focused on the other thing Estelle had said. Stargazing, huh? He did enjoy being outside at night, either sitting around or taking a walk, though he had never paid too much attention to the night sky. "I just love the night, I guess. But it sounds like you're really fascinated by the stars."
Blue Lions:
Agnar - Courytard - Luca
Agnar chuckled at that. "If you say so. I suppose we'll see about that." So the first person he met was also in the Blue Lions. For now it seemed that Luca was easy to get along with though Agnar hoped that there were quieter classmates too. While he wasn't bothered for now he could tell that he would need a break every now and then if he had to deal with Luca every day. "My father sent me here because of the Officer Academy's reputation. He thinks I'll receive even better training here than in Albinea. We're just ordinary hunters but with the beasts we and the surrounding villages have to deal with he thinks we'll need someone with even better fighting and leadership skills." He paused for a moment. "I guess the fact that I have a crest that's not commonly seen in Fodlan also helped me to get accepted into this academy. We still had to pay to get me enrolled, though," he added with a quiet laugh. "And what brings you here? I don't think I've heard about you before so I assume you're a commoner too."

Golden Deer | Estelle ✯ Estelle was a little bemused. Had he been about to say that he'd like to meet Astrophel? There were no problems with that surely so why had he stopped himself? She let it go for the moment, "I am," She murmured gently, "I love the stars. I grew up around them actually," Realising that he might not understand what she meant by that, she clarified, "My father and I live at the Eaver Observatory," The fondness in her voice crossed back over into interest and she paused, "We have some time before the meeting ... perhaps you'd like to walk down to the stables?"

Golden Deer:
Callan - Golden Deer Classroom - Estelle
Callan nodded at Estelle's explanation. Considering what she just had said it really wasn't a surprise that she loved the stars so much. He had heard a lot about the Eaver Observatory, but then again there was probably no one in the Leicester Alliance who hadn't. "I see. So that's why it means so much to you," he said. At her next words however he stared at her in surprise before quickly shaking his head and lowering his gaze again. It still wasn't enough to hide his smile though. While part of him had hoped that she would just forget what he had said earlier he still was curious about it. "Are... are you sure? I mean- but yes, I'd like to!"

Golden Deer | Estelle ✯ Estelle smiled brightly at that and began to walk towards the entrance of the classroom, "Honestly, he would probably appreciate the company," She responded. Callan seemed a bit nervous, but she also felt that they had a good amount in common. It was nice to talk to someone her own age and not be at some fancy event where she was expected to stand on ceremony. Not that she minded those fancy events, quite the opposite, however, it was still a nice change of pace, "So you said you write too? What about?" She asked as she glanced over her shoulder at him.

Silke | with Fion
Silke was obviously disappointed when Fion turned down her offer. She sighed and plopped down on a chair "Fine fine, one day I'll get you to fight me. Or make sure you regret not taking up my offer today!" Silke laughed heartily, her works not really coming across as a threat. Silke wasn't the type to hold a grudge over something as simple as this. "Well, you see, I've been busy honing my skills. I couldn't just come to this school without being at my best. It was just a week ago, I found a small gathering of thieves and I easily took them down myself. You should have been there, you would have been most impressed." she bragged, nodding to herself "What of you? Do you have any tales of grandeur? What does the Prince of your kingdom spend his time doing?"
Luca | with Agnar
"I see I see, your father sounds like an intelligent man. I am sure you take after him. Do your looks also come from his side? If so I must say I am impressed with his mastery of all types." Luca said, meaning every word he spoke and wrapping it all up with a wink. It was second nature for him to flirt, even if it was just a little bit. He might perish if he was unable to. At Agnars question he stilled slightly "I enrolled myself here to get connections, and to make myself stronger. We're not so different you and I." his true reasons for enrolling here were convoluted and a bit of a downer. He'd rather not speak of it.

Golden Deer: Neason-Commoner Dorms-Nora Neason thought over her words, it was a good point. When the meeting happened he would be able to see if he would be able to get to know his house mates to be able to see if he could get along with them. "Fair enough," he said, finally with a shrug. "I'm sure I will be able to approach them, after all we all are here to learn and train together, regardless of our status in life." He gave a smile, but it soon fell, he should be acting more....respectable right Especially with talking to another noble, but he just couldn't be bothered to. Blue Lions: Pierce-Fishing Pond-Vincent "Must seem to think that way yea," Pierce agreed. His own father, Lord Einar, felt that way. Pierce stood as he brushed himself off. "I hope you can further your research with your time here," he said to him. "What is the crest that you have?" He bite at his left. "If that is alright for me to ask of you." He adjusted his glasses as he hoped the question wasn't to out of place to ask him.

Megumi | with Elara
The sound of foot falls against the ground caught Megumis attention. She had went to the stables to interact with the animals there, feeling more comfort around them than the humans she was being forced to attend this school with. It wasn't as if she disliked everyone... but the majority of them rubbed her the wrong way. Her tall ears swiveled towards the approaching noise. She saw Elara approaching the area and narrowed her eyes slightly. Was this going to be one of the humans she held a true distaste for? Probably. Megumi had learned not to expect much from them.
Rekka | Entrance Hall
Arriving late probably wasn't a good first impression, but Rekka had been coming from far so you couldn't judge him. At least that's what he told himself. It most certainly didn't have anything to do with the fact he'd gotten distracted with just about everything he'd seen. The Kitsune sighed and looked around, ears perked as he tried to hear anything of interest. He'd just put away his items before finding his way to the entrance hall. gonna boop these up as well :3 )

Blue Lions | Fion ♔ Fion smiled politely as he listened, "I'm sure they were quaking in fear," He said in reference to this small group of thieves Silke had dispatched. This was something he did like about her; the fact that she didn't act how everyone thought she should. Even Fion had heard rumblings from The Empire about how 'improper' she was, "Tales of grandeur ..." He echoed and tried to rack his brain for something interesting to say. Well, this won't interest her, "I completed a term at The Royal School of Sorcery in Fhirdiad," Though it had been cut short, it had still been a valuable experience. Something slightly more interesting came to mind, "I defeated a dark mage assassin a few weeks before that."
Blue Lions | Rieka ❆ Rieka, having put what few belongings she had brought with her away, was now exploring the premises. She had explored a little when she had first arrived too and was now trying to solidify everything in her mind. Perhaps she could find another classmate to talk to, perhaps even one of the beast-kin. She looped around the fishing pond and up through the marketplace, noticing some other people on the way. She decided not to interrupt their conversation. As the wolfskin entered the entrance hall, she halted in her tracks. Fox ears, "Hello," She called out to Rekka, her own ears pricked with interest.

Black Eagles:
Nora | Commoner Dorms | Neason
Nora hummed in agreement. "That's what everyone keeps going on about, isn't it? Nobles and commoners learning and fighting together." She glanced at the stairs behind her and then at the row of doors on this floor. "I wonder how well that will work, though. Take the dorms, for example. Even though everyone's supposed to be sort of equal during our time here we're definitely still separated by our status." She shrugged. "I suppose only time will tell. While we probably should keep our standing in mind I think we should also try to be more approachable to the commoners here." She observed Neason for a moment as she spoke. So far he had been different from what she would have expected from a house leader. Not that she minded, it was kind of refreshing actually. Definitely better than those who had a more high and mighty attitude.
Vincent | Fishing Pond | Pierce
"Same to you and your research. I'm sure we can use our time here well, both for training and our interests." At Pierce's question Vincent simply nodded. He supposed it wasn't unusual to ask something like that. Especially since there were noble houses out there who's name didn't reflect what crest they had. "Like most in my family I bear the crest of Marquardt," he told him. "Most of us only have a minor crest, though with so many generations that's to be expected. May I ask about yours, if you have one?"
Golden Deer:
Callan | Golden Deer Classroom -> Stables | Estelle
"In that case, sure! Thank you." With that Callan followed Estelle outside. As they walked he kept glancing at their surroundings but stopped doing so for a moment when she spoke up again. "Oh, that..." it felt weird to talk about that but being asked about it didn't feel too bad either. "It's just something I like to do when I have the time for it. See, I like old and mysterious places. Ruins, caves, some parts of the woods and so on." He chuckled nervously but kept going. "And I just come up with stories for those places. Sometimes a funny little tale, sometimes a origin story. Or maybe some sort of mystery that has to be solved. Like I said, silly made-up tales."
Blue Lions:
Agnar | Courtyard | Luca
"Uhm, right..." Agnar looked away for a moment and suppressed a sigh. Just what had he gotten himself into? "Well, thanks, I guess?" He glanced at Luca though as he explained his reasons for attending this academy and nodded. A simple but fairly logical reason. He didn't miss the way Luca seemed to still though and narrowed his eyes in thought. Then he just shrugged and smiled. Whether Luca was being truthful or not, it wasn't something Agnar wanted to dwell on for now. They had just met after all so if there was a deeper reason it clearly was none of his business. "Looks like we are. Let's both do our best, then." He paused for a moment. "So, I know we're here to train and learn but is there anything you'll do in your freetime?"

Golden Deer | Estelle ✯ Estelle wound her way up past the classrooms. For a moment she paused, unsure of the direction and seeing the reception hall one way, the commoner dormitory the other. She had visited the stables briefly in order to make sure Astrophel had arrived safely, but she wasn't entirely sure what way she had gone to get there. She decided to head around the reception hall, vaguely remembering one of the knights pointing her in that direction, "Ruins and caves?" She echoed, initially surprised. Most of the stories she had read growing up were about knights and princes and magic. She had never paid much attention to their settings. As he continued, she considered it. Though odd, it did sound sort of fun and the way he was talking about it made it seem doubly so, "You call it silly, but I would be interested in hearing one some time," It was her turn to look at the ground, "I don't have much experience with the sorts of places you speak of."

Callan | near Reception Hall | Estelle
Callan nodded. "Not that I've seen them for myself though. I've only ever heard or read about them," he clarified. "As for caves, a good walk from where I live there's a small one. But it doesn't even have to be a place like that. Sometimes it's just the way the moon shines on our village, a normal house or even a pond that makes them look eerie, mysterious or beautiful. I guess I'm just really imaginative. Ah, sorry." He quietly laughed to himself as he noticed that he had just rambled on. He paused for a moment. "I haven't actually shared those stories with anyone so far but... I think I could probably do that. " While he wasn't really sure about it he also thought that maybe, just maybe, he could try. Especially with the reason Estelle had given. Then he glanced around for a bit and nodded. It seemed like they weren't too far from the stables now.

Golden Deer | Estelle ✯ Estelle nodded in understanding. Perhaps this wasn't so different from what she felt when she looked up at the stars. Although she had partially asked to hear one of his stories out of politeness, she found that she really was curious to hear it. He seemed to like talking about it at least, "I have never thought of it like that," She admitted and looked around her at the stone of the monastery, at the weak new-year sunshine. At Callan's tentative agreement she replied, "Oh, I'm sorry if that was presumptuous of me," She shook her head. She had been asking Callan to talk about himself without realising that she might be making him uncomfortable in the process, "But I'd like that," Maybe I got a little carried away. If he hasn't told anyone these stories of his before why would he want to tell one to me, someone he just met? They were coming upon the dusty grounds of the stables now, the sound of hooves growing louder.

"No, it's fine," Callan said quickly. "Just... give me some time to settle in first, alright? We should probably focus on getting used to living and training here for now." At the very least it would give him time to get to know the people he would be spending the year with and become more comfortable around them. As they reached the stables he began glancing around again, curious about the animals that lived here. He lowered his gaze a bit when he saw Elara and Megumi, hoping neither of them had noticed him or Estelle yet. "So your pegasus..." he quickly searched his mind, knowing that Estelle had mentioned her pegasus's name before," I mean, Astrophel should be around here somewhere, right?"

Golden Deer | Estelle ✯ Seeing Elara and Megumi, Estelle waved enthusiastically in greeting, before turning her gaze back to Callan and the pegasi in their stalls. The latter of the two people seemed to have large rabbit ears much to Estelle's fascination so it was hard not to engage them in conversation right there and then. She walked over to one stall in particular, partway down, "Here he is," Astrophel was a large, black-furred pegasus; the sort that Dark Fliers tended to ride rather than Pegasus or Falcon Knights. He looked much like you might expect apart from a white blaze on his forehead, "How have you been?" She crooned gently to the creature and reached out a hand to stroke his neck. After a moment, she beckoned Callan over, "He doesn't bite."

Golden Deer: Neason-Commoner's Dorms-Nora Neason rolled his eyes a bit. "Standings are stupid. We all are the same, just cause we were born in different standings doesn't make one better than the other," he said. He never really cared for his noble status, as he disliked how his brother was treated by their parents and other nobles for the matter. He gave a calm smile. "Though I am all for being more approachable for them, and if the other nobles have issues with it, I'll punch them in the face." He thought about the other house leaders, he hoped they were not those stuck up kind of nobles. Blue Lions: Pierce-Fishing Pond-Vincent Vincent gave a nod to his question. "I bear the major crest of Fleur," he said to him. He watched the water for a bit longer, as he thought it over. "It didn't use to be the crest of the family, but over time and with marriages involving other families this crest ended becoming the prominent one."
