[b]"Ugh..."[/b] Iraleth raised a hand to pinch her brow as the girl started to panic. It was too early in the morning for this. [b]"Please just relax."[/b]

A sneak thief? She was clad in [i]full plate[/i]. But it would be rude to point that out. Instead, Iraleth followed the girl towards the outbox, depositing her letter into it while the apparent cripple continued to speak. 

[b]"The benefits of trying to work with Shaktans, I suppose."[/b] Iraleth shrugged noncommitally, trying to not let her usual thoughts on such a subject surface. [b]"I'm a local from Vaal Nero, and our power situation isn't too much better than Vaal Kastrix, by all accounts. Blackouts are a regular occurrence back home."[/b]

"But that's enough 'bout me. If ya don't mind me sayin' so, you look a little, uh... perturbed. Green under the gills, maybe. Stiff. Not a morning person, or did you also draw shit luck with your roomie?"

[b]"I'm fine."[/b] Iraleth gave the girl a long stare. As if she was just going to admit her misgivings over her upcoming duel. Hopefully, the faculty in charge would have the good sense to keep it quiet. [b]"Hungry, if anything. I've not eaten breakfast yet. But thank you for your help."[/b] She inclined her head towards her once before turning to leave. There was still time enough before class started to find food somewhere. Hot bread or a pastry would tide her over until midday.
