Laurel explained herself to the fairly ignorant faerie. Kiara’s eyes lit up when she mentioned where she was from. “Oh, How exciting! I can’t wait to go to the human realm! I was pretty close at my guess, though. I mean, I know of Bastet, Egyptian goddess of cats… I should have known you were a Gifted, I’ve studied the human world a lot…” her rambling trailed off with a blush. It would probably be best to stop talking now, before she insulted the girl. Thankfully, Laurel busied herself with her suitcase, sending clothing soaring through the room.

Kiki curiously looked at all of the clothing, is that what humans wore? Kiara looked down and tugged the edge of her skirt. Faeries wore very little clothing, some hardly bothered with it at all, but when they did, there was very little fabric. Kiki’s skimpy outfit was dark, as was Unseelie fashion, and involved crow feathers, black and red roses, and other magically preserved flora. Her feet were bare, as always. Laurel asked if she had heard about the feast. “Yes, the lilac lady mentioned that in the courtyard. We Unseelie faeries don’t really need to eat, but I love the taste of sweet things! I will go to meet people too, there are so many beautiful, interesting creatures here!”

The hyena was staring at Kiki as she prattled on, then opened her mouth and snapped her jaws lightly. Laurel said that meant that she wanted pets. “Oh!~” Kiara cooed before kneeling down gracefully and rubbing the hyenas head softly, making sure to scratch behind her ears.

Persephone made a squeaking noise before flapping her wings against Kiki’s shoulder. “Oh, Persy! Don’t be jealous, you know you’ll always be my number one.” she reassured the disgruntled bat before swiftly standing up. “It was nice to meet you both, but I’m going to head to the cafeteria now, so I’ll see you around!” Kiara waved before spinning around and waltzing out the door.

The cafeteria was packed with chattering students. All of the sights, sounds and smells of the cryptids around Kiara were a little overwhelming, so, for a moment, she just stood in the doorway and stared. After a few seconds, Kiki smiled and confidently stepped in to find herself a seat next to someone cute.
