Karu would make his way to the academy, the spot quite obvious once he got near. The shear number of different foreign smells coming through his antennae was enough to make him second guess his academic pursuits in the exchange program. He was likely in a bit of a unique situation compared to the other students, his species was a bit less.. civilized than most. Most of them hid from strangers, but his curiosity was stronger and now had him in this strange concrete jungle of a world. He looked for the other young looking humanoids and would attempt to follow them to the gathering point, making sure to stay out of the way of people's feet.
He looked much like a wild creature as he trotted in to the east commons area, to be fair he pretty much was, spending most of his years in a forest with other fae creatures. The only real indication that he was a student was the small hand made backpack used to carry his class supplies and most importantly his many notebooks. Ever since he had recently learned to read and write he took much glee in jotting down and reading many things like it was a new toy. He hoped this place had one of those library things he'd been told about. All the words he could ever want to read!
For now though, he was tired. Getting around in civilized areas was exhausting, and there was some rather rude dog who got off his leash and chased him a bit, not to mention one of those mean blue birds attacking him while he tried to make sense of where he was. He needed some good relaxation time, but all the new faces and creatures would have him running on pure excitement for the rest of the day most likely.
Karu was not only curious about the other humans, but the other mythics as well. He would go up after the one that stood out the most to him, which of course was the merboy. He'd never really been around large bodies of water so his scent was particularly unique. He'd give a poke to the tail if it was in reach with a non-pointy part of his claw to get his attention. “Hey there! Down here! I just wanna say I like your tail!” he said, the awkwardness of such a statement completely going over his head. “Are you from the ocean? I've never been there.” he said quickly, looking like he might start a barrage of questions.
