While the train ride itself was fairly boring, Henry was more focused on carrying his belongings - a phone, a small jar of honey, several pens and pencils, a 100 dollar bill, and the letter that he was given by the academy. He mostly left them on the ground covered in wasps, but the jar was far too precious to leave there - an ant could easily steal the succulent contents, especially considering the lid was not very tight. It couldn't be, or else Henry wouldn't be able to open it at all. Upon getting situated, and when the other students exited the train, Henry quickly observed them.
None of the individuals looked particularly eye catching - or, at the very least, none of their alterations made them appear radical. Only one girl appeared different from the others, appearing to be entirely made of plant matter. The thought of having another mutated student calmed Henry slightly. He was very nervous, after all - this was very different from his old home town in Virginia.
While the other students didn't show any obvious signs of their alterations, Henry still took notice - it would be detrimental if one of them had a dangerous alteration. An albino man who appeared very muscular, but thanks to the hair, Henry's father most likely would have assumed he was one of the gays. Henry, however, did not rush to such conclusions - he simply chose to believe that the man had a particular style. People did alter their appearance simply on personal taste, and hair is the easiest part to change, after all.
A fairly aesthetic woman was next, appearing to be of some Asian descent, and was gorging herself on food. Henry was briefly bought back to a Nutrition class he had taken at his old high school, and judging on the large quantity of food, the woman had eaten at least a few thousand calories. Perhaps she did not normally eat like that, and it was simple stress.
Another albino was present, this one wearing a hoodie and seeming to be rather aloof. Henry could not make a good assessment of the man, and chose to keep his distance.
A black haired woman with long hair, a short and black haired man, a red headed girl, and a dark red headed boy appeared as well, but there was really nothing to comment on about them. They were simply present, and the vision of a wasp was not good enough to make perfect observations. The most interesting of the group, the plant woman, began the introductions - or, Lea began the introductions would be more appropriate now that Henry knew her name.
Almost immediately, everyone began to either introduce themselves, or return a half-assed greeting - something that pissed Henry off. If you do something, at least be serious about it. He was about to introduce himself to Lea, when another girl began to talk at length, before dragging Lea away. Following would have been as easy as sending a wasp to spy on them, but Henry had been yelled at several times for sending his wasps and listening behind others backs - apparently, it was very rude.
With nothing to do, Henry chose to do what his mother had recommended - sharing was a valuable way to make friends, and she had said being close to a person makes them more efficient in their duties. With several wasps pushing his honey jar against the ground, Henry slowly moved it to the woman who had eaten so much food earlier - out of the available people, she was the most likely to accept the offer.
As the jar was finally pushed to her feet, Henry quickly focused, and with focused effort, succeeded in speaking.
"Would you like? Look Hungry. Sharing develop friendship."
