I figured I should keep it secret from the others that she can talk for now because it's like a telepathy thing. But if they try to take her from me then I have a secret. ;)

Kayleb stared after the pale teacher and the teacher with the top hat, the bright light's traces in his eyes. He looked at the strip of leather he'd been given.
'Thanks, I guess!' He called after them as they left.
Did she really just smear her blood on her skirt and give it to him as a hall pass? Then again, there was that top hat guy's light show to think about. But after seeing the demon arm and hearing the kind of rumours coming from a place like this, Kayleb had already cordoned off an area in his mind that he labelled as 'magic stuff', to which he entered the 2 events that just unfolded. Must be magic was the thought that Kayleb would get used to quickly in a place like this. Kayleb shrugged it off as magic and seriously stared at the 'hall pass' he'd been given. Even if it was magic, smearing blood on a piece of your skirt you just tore off... That's pretty interesting. And Kayleb figured he'd see a lot more interesting things before the day was done. Kayleb started grinning in anticipation.
Kayleb! You're grinning like a crazy guy! Saydie said, interrupting his thoughts.
'What, really?' Kayleb said, covering his mouth in an unsuccessfully bid stop grinning. 'I might be crazy.'
I don't want you to be crazy! I hate it when you're crazy! Saydie said, a not of panic entering her voice.
'Hey, Saydie-' Kayleb started, realising he'd reopened old wounds.
I don't want you to be a crazy guy! I don't want it to be like last time! If you did that I-
Kayleb hugged Saydie for a few seconds, resting his chin on her head, calming her down.
'I know Saydie. I promise I'm not crazy.' Kayleb said, grin long gone.
Really? Saydie asked.
'I made a promise to you, remember?' Kayleb reminded her.
The 2 made a promise all those years ago, after an incident that Saydie and Kayleb hadn't managed to get over yet. Even now, Saydie was still worried.
'It's fine. Even after all this time, I still can't say I regretted what I did that day...' Kayleb said, a dangerous glint in his eye.
Kayleb...
'It's fine. Breaking the promise I made to you is something that won't even happen when hell freezes over. So don't worry.' Kayleb said, releasing his hug and putting his hand on her head. 'We're siblings, right?'
You know I hate being pet. I'm technically your older sister. Saydie pouted. But the fact that she let the topic go meant she forgave him. Kayleb chuckled a little as his grin returned.
You're still grinning like a crazy person.
'Alright.' Kayleb said, slinging Saydie into his hoody. 'Let's go find that teacher that the pale lady mentioned.'
With that, Kayleb crunched through the snow towards the large door and where awaited his new life of magic and education.

Why isn't Leo there?

'Uh, yes! Hi!' Kayleb said in surprise, getting up quickly. 'I mean, no, I didn't do that. But I am a student. I think. Probably.'
The woman who came out from the school was very pretty but she was pale. The group behind her appeared to be armed and the woman herself had a large bow strapped to her back. Judging from her recognition of Kayleb as a student, she was one of the faculty. Maybe she was a teacher, judging from the group of what appeared to be students. And if the woman was a teacher and the students were students, then he was in the right place. Good. However, did he come at the right time? Knowing him, he'd probably arrived late and judging by the fact that he judged the teacher to be teaching students, classes had already started. That meant he was anywhere from a day late to a week, probably. But he wondered if a guy passed out with a top hat and aviators on a cracked floor was weird even for a magic school.
'My name's Kayleb. I think I'm new here.' He said, introducing himself. 'I just found this man passed out here. Is he alive? He doesn't seem to be moving. Um, is that weird? Oh, and what's the date today?'

Something I forgot in my character sheet: Kayleb likes sweet, sour and spicy foods and believes food that is both sweet and sour is god's gift to man. He really dislikes bitter things even if they are sweet, sour or spicy and may make you feel bad if you trick him into eating bitter stuff.

Kayleb's initial greeting brought no response. The demon armed man was in front of a painting or sketch of some sort which depicted a fearsome looking demon. There was also an unknown woman there and the 2 had seemingly just finished their conversation.
'Uh, I'll leave you alone then...' Kayleb said, getting up slowly, as he prepared to teleport.
After all, he really shouldn't be there (probably). Kayleb had no idea where he was but he knew the direction he teleported in and envisioned himself going back to that direction. The tugging feeling returned and thankfully, Saydie didn't interrupt his concentration this time. Kayleb rode the teleport tunnel and stepped into the courtyard, landing successfully. It was a few seconds before the cold got to him.
'Ueh' Kayleb yelped in surprise at the cold wind chilling his spine.
Cold! Saydie complained.
'Sorry.' Kayleb said, crossing his arms over Saydie in a bid to keep himself warm. He seemed to be near the entrance of the courtyard.
'Looks like I overshot.' Kayleb said, shivering a little.
Kayleb turned around and encountered something he certainly didn't expect. A man with a top hat was sprawled on the floor but what was stranger was that the floor under him was cracked. Saydie gasped as he saw it.
It's a dead body! She said in surprise.
'Calm down, Saydie. I don't think he's dead.' Kayleb said.
But, he must have fallen, like, 100 feet or something!
Kayleb supposed she must be right, but there was no blood and the man looked like he was just unconscious. And if this was the magic academy he had heard of from the old Chinese man he'd been living with for 4 years, then falling 100 feet with no damage wasn't impossible. Kayleb decided that he couldn't be sure if he was dead. And what's the first thing you do to a guy that might be dead? Kayleb did the thing that anyone would. Kayleb went up to the top hatted possibly-a-dead-body, squatted down and poked his side.
'Um...' Kayleb said, poking him a few more times. 'Are you okay, sir?'
