Aella had sat and watched the other students come and go up the stairs, content after watching a few go she stepped up herself. There was a fair amount of wind going on so she didn't need to do much except make a few small gusts strong enough to send crayfish flying off the sides and send the hungry seagulls after them. Her master had taught her these things enough to be of use here at the tower, so she enacted her plan and sent crayfish out of her way and the seagulls went after them. When she made it up the stairs she was sweating quite a bit from the effort and the climb but she made it and without killing herself from doing it. There were already a few who made it up ahead of her and she sat a good distance away from any of them and tried to catch her breath and so she could watch them, they were all strange all from different walks of life and different places in the world but that might of been a good thing.
