Third had been sitting quietly and observing all the little and, intense, meetings going on around her.
She watched the two sparring partners stumble about with some girls for a good while, she saw James nearly break a girls arm, she watched each little move Isaac made to his masked friend, she watched the teachers who were a bit less social eat and look annoyed for a nice while...
She sighed happily, home sweet home.
With this sigh Third stood up from her seat and Azelf raised his fist, usually now would be the time he would slam it down to silence the hall and allow Third time to speak, but she dismissed him with a wave of her hand.
Slightly confused the silent man stood up and followed after the headmistress, she seemed to be walking with some purpose, as soon as she reached the doors another person had entered, a somewhat lanky looking gentleman who held a parcel.
"Hello there"
She commented with a smile after hearing him declare his entrance, she offered her hand to him and awaited for him to choose whether or not she seemed like enough of an authority to take the greeting, while rare, some students had completely skimmed over Third when they came late into the school.
Azelf stood a few steps behind Ellise, he seemed to be studying her instead of just guarding her.
"I am Ellise, though most call me Third."
With that she took his hand by herself and grabbed the papers, "I do hope you won't mind, I will make sure you are registered and set up..."
She studied him quickly with a scan of her eyes, "Ridican hmm..."
She gave the boy a smile and nodded, "Do sit and enjoy a meal, You can find a bed waiting for you as well..." she stopped her sentence on a note that said it probably wasn't over
"Sorry, I really must go now, but I'm sure we will have a proper meeting soon..." with that last hurried statement she walked past the boy.
With a quick pace she turned a corner and made a fair way down the hall to her office before she stopped and lent against the wall, she was pale and starting to breathe at an odd pace, "Too old for this..." she muttered before pulling a piece of cloth from one of her pockets and coughing into it quite violently.
Azelf stood cross armed not far behind her, it looked something was off this time...
"You didn't eat anything tonight either" The man said with a low voice, the headmistress straitened her posture and sighed,
"I'm fine, Azelf...I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself..."
With that she waved him away once more with a cloth that had a red stain it did not have previously. She quickly shut herself in her office, Azlef sighed and scratched the side of his head, "Big is an overstatement...look old enough to be niece" with that he turned and began walking to find his own lodging, for the headmistress, and it seemed for most people, the day was ending.
The already darkening sky turned from a purple to black, night enveloped the land and shrouded the air with it's cool and mysterious veil. The mess hall had been open for nearly an hour more, anyone who was left behind would have been personally moved out by a teacher, anyone who refused would be pointed in James' direction and labelled "free roam"
The students were given a very short time to set into bed before lights out, the place was cleaned over night once more by the staff and the leftover food would be fed to the pet monsters and farm animals, as customary.
Another cycle had passed, the year was beginning, classes would finally start and people would begin again to risk their lives learning, all so that they could survive when they risk their lives again later.
A new day, the sun was high, the breeze light and refreshing, the grounds were cleaned from yesterdays gathering and teachers were prepared to teach their students.
Students where woken up early and given a short time to prepare for their first class, parcels were left at each door with a paper containing the information on where and when each students class would take place, as per usual most students had roughly 4 classes, though they were of course not limited to such a number.
Third stood on the very top of highest tower the building had, looking over the school.
Azelf awaited his new class to roll in and begin their lessons.
The year was officially beginning.
Class, was now in session.
