@Inertia (P.S.S. Composed slightly sluggishly. Apologies for anyone reading 'if' they find some odd discrepancy or fault.)
After an awkward session to another, the day had probably been more lively than her whole early childhood combined. She was now stuck with another unfamiliar student from the academy, another first impression to handle, or not.
"Hello, Mrs exempt from punishment."This line alone was enough to mildly irritate her, even if it did make sense. He didn't know her name, and only knew she had almost been punished for something rather foolish. She didn't say anything back as he was about to continue.
Besides his rather witty greeting, he didn't seem all that bad from the looks of things. And whether or not it was on purpose or on accident, the words he used painted a sort of awkward aura on him in her eyes. Perhaps he simply preferred not being known to random people all too easily, if at all. But the way he introduced himself induced a brief giggle from her.
"Well I hope you don't suddenly fall asleep on the floor while we walk." She replied along with slowly bringing herself up to a stand.
"I'd be troubled if you would just randomly fall asleep along the way." The remark wasn't anything short but a payback attempt at his earlier greeting.
Thankfully she had managed to figure out her room number from the mess that was Kanos desk at the time. And just like that, they were on their way already. While all the time a part of her felt odd just leaving Yoshino back there with the headmaster by herself. It didn't feel right. But seeing as to how her situation was handled, there wasn't much she could do. She had all the time to ponder and think as both she and Luke made their way through steps upon steps in the confusing and ample amount of hallways and walls. Beautiful but confusing at the same time.
And the next words Luke spoke came out of nowhere, so it took her by surprise to say the least. At the very least she didn't think someone would agree to her opinion just like that. Not like she ever said it to him either. But an accurate assumption to make judging as Kano had mentioned her being lost. She eyes him directly a bit and simply shrugs with a sigh, while uttering something quietly.
"This place really is something else entirely."The only weird aspect she caught by chance was the random stares some people gave Luke. Resentment? Hate? She didn't know, nor would she probably even be given an answer straight up. Perhaps something she might bring up later just to sort out any problems that might rise up. Just a few minutes before they reached their destination, she had picked up the water from the vial again and was executing the same movements as before. A split orb of water made into three streams that encircled her hand like a cascade.
Restless, troubled, unsettled, erratic, unsteady. The water felt disturbed, as it showed visible ripples while flickering. Guess she really needed a slight timeout from all that had taken place. Bad emotions tend to just cause more havoc than good.
"Well, here it is!"A slight moment later he would utter those words, as they had made their way into the dorms. It didn't take that long either, which was quite surprising, given the scale and size of the place.
"Yeah, thanks for the company." Sincere, even though her focus and voice seemed to be towards something else.
All the while Luke told his reason for excusing himself immediately. To which she didn't respond to with much. Until a rather odd idea hit her in the head. Before he even took a few steps away, she spoke back at him before waving back as well.
"Feel free to explain later as to why people stare at you with those kinds of eyes."With Luke out of sight, she walked around slowly for about a minute, eyeing the surroundings before finding her dorm room.
"Room 187, huh." She muttered on her own, before opening the door. Which opened with a slight creak into a fairly spacious room. A room for two, but still enough space for privacy.
"I'll probably get the rest of my stuff here later." As she had overheard, the so-called afternoon classes weren't in session. Which meant she had plenty of time to rest and read. Perhaps even practice the accuracy of her control, if the situation and her emotions allowed it. She sat down on the sofa with legs crossed, a comfortable position regardless of how it looked to others, and picked up a small book from one of her other pockets. A light novel, perfect way to pass the time and regain some composure. At least until something else happens along the day.
