"[color=f7941d]Ahh...it's great to be back[/color]" Edmund took in a deep breath of salty sea air, something that he had missed during his summer vacation. "[color=f7941d]It almost feels like an eternity ago I was here. So strange[/color]" his shook his head, bemused as he made his way to his dorm. As he walked through familiar ground, Edmund thought back to his first (and last) year here. He remembered how nervous he was, yet also excited. It was a rather strange contrast of feelings. Despite never having an particular fondness for school before (though that's not to say that he hated it either), he found himself having the time of his life. Maybe it was because he was learning how to use a power that could literally save lives, or maybe it was that he was living on an island surrounded by ocean, and thus sea life, but something about this place was just enjoyable.

He found himself coming across several familiar faces on his way to his room. While he hadn't met anyone he felt confident in calling a friend (something that he, admittedly, wasn't too happy about) he ended up on friendly terms with most of the people he met here. Whether that was because he was friendly and outgoing, or because he had been named an Orion (which he was immensely proud of), he couldn't say. However the why didn't really matter that much to him. What was important was that he had a lot of friendly faces to say hello to on his way to his room. It felt good coming to a place where most everyone knew your name. It made Edmund feel welcome.

Once he finally reached his room, he set his luggage on the floor before getting on the bed to lie down for a little bit. "[color=f7941d]It's nice to get off my feet for a little bit. The trip out here was longer then I remembered. I wonder why. Oh well, it's not a big deal.[/color] After a few minutes on his back relaxing, he got back up to his feet. "[color=f7941d]Well, I think that should be long enough. Time to go out and great as many new house members as I can.[/color]" He said to himself as he walked out of his room to prowl the Horse House in search of any new faces. While being an Orion didn't come with any extra responsibilities, Edmund still felt obligated to go out of his way for his house. He also understood how daunting going to a strange boarding school could be for the first time "[color=f7941d]I bet they could use a friendly face to make them feel at home[/color]" he said to himself
