While they were still walking toward the castle, Ayaka told Nova that she heard all three names correctly. 

In the main entrance, it didn't take Thomas long to appear. It seemed that Lady Violetta was busy with something after all. "Not really a problem at all. I wouldn't have known anyone was there if Rikami hadn't acted the way he did though." Thomas went on to welcome the two of them to the academy right away. 

She walked with them while Thomas was giving them the tour before getting to the Lecture Room. 

-Rikami, did you sense something from Jake? Is that why you acted up?- As weird and mysterious as he was, Ayaka still needed to know what prompted her pet to misbehave. 
[color=82ca9d]-I knew there was someone else on the fall, but I was worried that the headmistress and Thomas hadn't sensed it. I still continued to play with Skye though, but then I sensed something different about one of them. He even smells different.-[/color] Rikami told her.
-You seemed ready to play when I found you. Geez Rikami. Sense something off about someone, then promptly wanted him to play. Though yeah, he's weird.-
[color=a2d39c]-Couldn't help it. You know how playful I am.-[/color]

Ayaka had walked to the spiral staircase during her conversation with her frost wolf. Skye of course followed her. She had quietly left the room, not wanting to interrupt Thomas. Knowing Nova and Jacob will eventually find themselves in the Village as well, she went ahead and asked the staircase to take her there. "Well you two, I've been allowed to get you both a new friend." Ayaka was talking to Skye and Rikami here.

Rikami started jumping around and barking happily. "Rikami, you're going to end up tangling your leash...."
[color=6ecff6]-He's this crazy when you aren't in the room too.-[/color] 
[color=82ca9d]-Can it be a cat, like Ember?-[/color]

[i]Rikami wants a feline friend?[/i] Ayaka would have first thought he'd want another canine to play with.
