[color=f9ad81][i][b]Rowan Delacroix[/b][/i][/color] Rowan looked up at the creature through her lashes. [color=f9ad81][i]"I didn't realize he was a human..."[/i][/color] She watched curiously as the lumbering figure shrunk in size, withdrawing the protruding spikes into his body seamlessly. She gradually lifted her head up. Her anxiety had dwindled after recognizing how approachable Leval really was. She felt a bit more secure around him, so she locked her gray irises with his. Rowan felt a chuckle rise from the back of her throat when she watched Leval imitate a bow, which took her by surprise; she brought a fist to her mouth and coughed lightly instead. [color=fff200]"-I am sorry if I frightened you. You just looked a lot like I did after I got past the entrance exam."[/color] The vampire tilted her head to the side. Her facial expression changed only slightly, as she was surprised at how accurate he was. [color=f9ad81]"You too?"[/color] she mumbled quickly. Rowan folded her hands over her chest and tightly clutched the golden adornment. [color=f9ad81][i]"Everyone else went through the same ordeal?"[/i][/color] She let out a sigh of relief and the corners of her lips formed a smile that could go unnoticed. Her thoughts were interrupted by the announcement that echoed through the massive hall. [color=f9ad81][i]"The same elf from the front desk?"[/i][/color] She looked from the ceiling back to the face of the human before her. Rowan aimed a more polite nod in his direction this time, closing her eyes when she dipped her head. She pushed her cloak out behind her and it fluttered in a circle as she spun on her heels. Following the instructions, she made her way over to the row of seats that emerged from the floor and found a comfortable spot near the front.
