Alicia Bennett

“Yeah, I usually go by Ali. But people really just call me whatever they want.” Although she preferred Ali, her parents called her Alicia. Not to be mean, they just believe that she should be proud of her real name. Her birth parents though, they almost never called her anything even resembling her real name. The outdoors were comforting to Ali. It helped calm her down.
“I don’t really travel. Besides, even if I wanted to, my parents have too much going on to travel.” Ali didn’t have a very good memory herself. The only thing that she could never forget is her poems. She did, however, think that it was a bit pompous for him to not remember these things.
She never knew how people lived on mountains. Were they not scared that they’d fall off? “Hmm. I don’t like heights.” Ali wasn’t so much a fear. She just preferred to stay away from mountains. “There are some mountains. Along with ‘La Kenna’. It’s an awesome river. I never really paid attention to the history. All I know is that we have a strong alliance with Daegarimn.” Her parents tried to teach her the history. But she either ran off or didn’t pay attention.
“There’s one thing I don’t understand. Why exactly are you at the school.” It would make sense for him to be here to learn how to rule. Yet, he runs away from his advisor. Almost as if he doesn’t want to be a Prince.

Columbus Eisenburg

At least his presence seemed to be calming her down. It made him feel like he was actually helping someone. “Well, maybe we could talk to someone else. Someone even more powerful than the prince.” He closes his eyes. Scared to even say it. Even if she did want to help. It could restart the war. And Columbus didn’t want any blood on his hands. “Maybe we could talk to the Princess of Cynaria.” It would make sense. To go to the only kingdom that is even more powerful than Daegarimn. Or they could go to somewhere that didn’t participate in the war. But he hated the fact that she was regaining her fear. He looks her in the eyes. Trying to tell Elise that it will be fine. Everything will work out. But it’s hard to keep her gaze.
He can’t help but chuckle. “Oh, I should definitely be scared of the guard. I am not strong. Just strategic.” It was hard to tell which one was more helpful at times. “Hmm. Well that is a problem.” Thinking over her plan, “Yeah, that could work. I might as well grab mine so that I can unpack.” He didn’t have much. But he did have a lot of books. It was almost scary how heavy his stuff was.

He looked at the money that was just placed in his hands and look back up at the man. What did he just get himself in to? He promised his family not to involve himself with this suspicious activity, or to not let anyone walk all over him… but this seemed different. Perhaps he should deliver the letter, or maybe he shouldn’t…

He cleared his throat and looked back up at the man. “…And where can I find this Alexander?” Caine the dived back into his thoughts, overthinking things as usual. Was this guy’s name actually Demetrius or is it just a facade?

No. Stop overthinking things, Caine…

“Oh, and…” He began, “I’ll say Demetrius Preston sent me.”

Nicolas Veta-Serentine
“well, what name do you prefer I call you? I like to call people by what they like, i find it wrong to address them as something they wish not to be addressed as. For example, if I were to choose I usually choose a not common name. Since I haven’t met another Viscountess here at the school thats probably how I would address you, however, based on you initual reaction to the title I can guess you would not appreciate the name very much.” Nicolas explained in a rather chipper tone, leading her around the side of the Academy where it wasn’t so crowded.

“Hmm. I don’t like heights.”
“I’ll be honest, I didn’t like them either when we first moved from mainland to the mountains. It scared me thinking the rocks would fall or something alone those lines. But over time, living so high up, i got used to it. You get to know which rock is loose and that the mountain wont collapse. After a while, you learn to get to the top, the veiws of everything are beautiful.” He smiled, it was true, his parenst chose an odd place for a kingdom, but past the oddness of it, the kingdom really was full of hidden beauty.

“There’s one thing I don’t understand. Why exactly are you at the school.”
He chuckled, “Well, ill give that to you, you really do say what you’re thinking. But, i came to the school because of all my siblings i’m second last in line and my younger brother and I are known to not be the most formal. My parents pretty much wanted to send me here to improve myself from all my fooling.” he explained.
“What about you, why are you here?”

Elise Ponsonbye
Elise furrowed her eyebrows, “Who could possibly be more powerful than the Prince?” She asked, not seconds later her eyes went wide and she stepped back, “Cynaria?! CYNARIA?” she yelled in a whisper, “Do you realize the problems that could start? Yes, it could 100% work, but we’re enemies. If it would restart the war she had absoloutly no reason to help me unless she has some ridicuously strong morals in helping against my husband.” she frowned, but did contemplate it.

“it’s…a bad, yet perfect plan. If she helpped, or the Prince helped I could divorce the Earl, get my mom and siblings and leave, or even leave alone. I don’t know what kingdom I’d go. Anywhere I would leave to I would be safe from my husband at the least, he has no power against me anywhere but Daegarimn.” She sighed, rubbing the back of her neck.

Elise rubbed her face with her hands, “Lets just…lets get our dorm assignments and talk about this on the way there.”

Musa and Kanika

“Fascinating?” Clemontine asked with a bewildered look. “Do the people where your from always have guards? Back in Xusian I was never accompanied by guards.”

“Well, what do you use your men for, then? Are men in Xusian strictly to be used for reproduction?” Kanika asked, taking a notebook and pencil out of her pocket. “Do tell. I love to learn new things.”

Musa snickered quietly at his sister. “What are you laughing at, then?” Kanika asked sternly, and Musa laughed. “Don’t you remember, Kani?” He asked her. “On the mainland, Men are First-Class Citizens.” Kanika was taken aback. “But whatever for?! What could men possibly be useful for besides breeding and heavy lifting?! Certaintly not governing!” Musa snickered at her again and she gave him a shove, barely even pushing him back. The two began squabbling in Ujaaman.

“Is it very dangerous where your from?” Lemon asked, cutting in to their fight. Her eyes practically glowed with excitement. “Tell me all about it!"

“Oh yes, Ujaama is incredibly dangerous.” Kanika said. She crouched down as if she was telling a story to a child and waved her hands dramatically. “There’s snakes with venom that can kill you instantly and spiders the size of your head and ravenous, rabid lions and-” “It’s safe.” Musa cut in. “Very organized. She’s just telling her stories again.” “You never let me have any fun.” Kanika pouted, and Musa patted her head before helping her back to her feet.

“What about your kingdom?” Kanika asked Lemon. “Do you come from a dangerous place?”

Sanchion Hangmun

“What are you doing?” Sanchion sneered in disgust as he looked down at the young man in a grey blazer who was lying on the ground by a tree. The man seemed dazed and a little bit restless, and there was a large, red scuff on his forehead where little slivers of skin had beel ripped and peeled upwards. A small drop of blood trickled down the side of his face, and Sanchion sighed in exasperation and knelt down to dab it away with his handkercheif.

He looked up at the tree that the boy was lying in front of and the puzzle pieces clicked. “Did you run into this tree? How did you even manage that?” He asked, helping the boy up. Once the boy had gotten to his feet, Sanchion immedietly wiped his hand off on his vest, just in case.

Mirabella (Mia)

A carriage, in the most beautiful pearl color with beautiful baby blue patterns swirled through it, came closer to the Academy. The group of elegant white horses pulling the carriage, who were controlled by the most handsome man they could find in the kingdom of Elarin, huffed as the strong rays of light beamed down at them.

The carriage arrived at the front of the Academy, along with many others as well. The driver steps down from his seat behind the horses and draws open the curtain, holding his arm out to the beautiful young lady waiting inside. The young lady stepped out gazing at the beautiful castle and the unbelieveable fantasy-like gardens she was surrounded by. The driver looks the young lady up and down to notice her beautiful fairytale like gown 6 and simple but beautiful hairstyle hairstyle 5. The girl smiled but was extremely nervous and hugged the driver not wanting to leave her carriage. “Now, now Mia. You will be perfectly fine, just walk in there like you own it and youll be fine.” The charming man said with joy. “But sir…” She whined. “No buts Mia! You promised your mother that you would go and make new friends and hopefully learn some new things, smartypants.” He said with a little hope in his voice. “Fine…” She complained but kissed him on both cheeks to say goodbye. She walked over to the horses in which had pulled her to the Academy. She took a bit to say goodbye to each one individually, patting each one of them. In a daze she didn’t notice the driver yelling at her. “Mia hurry up already!” He said rushing her. “Jeez” She mumbled under her breath. The footman who had greeted them as they pulled into the driveway grabbed her luggage, holding her things she would be wearing for however long she was staying there and carried it into the Academy. She waved goodbye and followed the man into the Academy.

“A new start” she said sighing

Clemontine Darcey

“Xusian is far from dangerous.” Lemon said, fiddling with her dress. “Everyone in the kingdom is nice and loving and there haven’t been any major crimes in years. The most dangerous thing would be the plants, but other than that there is to worry about.”

“Are women treated better than men in…Ujamaa?” She said, suddenly changing the topic. “Is that why you and Mr. Guard came together instead of each having your own escorts?”

She realized what she said might be a touchy topic and instantly said, “I mean no offence to you, Mr. Guard.”

@GlitterFist - Musa & Kanika

Demitrius Preston

“In the Preston Duchy in Daegarimn.” Demitrius said, feeling slightly annoyed that he had to repeat himself. He usual never repeated what he said to anyone, even his parents. If it wasn’t for the urgency of the matter than he would have long left to find a more…competent messanger.

“And yes, my name will do just fine.”

He thought for a moment before stuffing small seal into the squire’s hands as well.

“Show this to the guards at the duchy and they’ll let you in. It should be proof enough of my identity.”

Musa and Kanika

“Xusian is far from dangerous.” Lemon confessed, and she seemed a bit dissappointed by it. “Everyone in the kingdom is nice and loving and there haven’t been any major crimes in years. The most dangerous thing would be the plants, but other than that there is to worry about.” She looked up at them. “Are women treated better than men in…Ujamaa? Is that why you and Mr. Guard came together instead of each having your own escorts? I mean no offence to you, Mr. Guard." She added quickly.

Kanika giggled and turned to her brother. “Why don’t you introduce yourself to the Lady, ‘Mr. Guard’?” She asked Musa, giggling to herself. Boy, Lemon was in for a surprise.

Musa sighed and stepped forward. “Musa Mshindi, Queen’s Protector and Prince of Ujamaa.” He gave a slight bow. “Women are ‘treated better’ back home, if that’s the way you want to put it. Every person in Ujamaa is bestowed with the rights they deserve at birth. The more useful you are, the more you are respected. Women are naturally more useful- Faster, Smarter, Higher pain tolerance, Perseverance, The ability to create life- So it’s only logical that they’d be in charge, isn’t it?”

“Why do you seemed so surprised about this?” Kanika asked Lemon. “Women and Men are equal on the mainland, yes?” She became a bit worried. Had she come on too strong to this girl? Did sharing her country’s customs somehow offend her?

Lady Mamie Puckett-Rowennsa

---

Pushing up her glasses, she regarded Bronwyn with a cold yet curious look, and continued about her business sorting several books into their places behind her desk and scribbling their names down in a large ledger that was almost twice the size of her. The fact that she was using a footstool to even reach the desk also didn’t seem to dent her unwavering pride or confidence.
“I own a collection considered to be amongst the oldest and most sought after in all of Altaer, and you ask me if I have a book on ‘horses’.” She chuckled, though one could almost call it a cackle by the tone in her voice. “Of course I have a book on it. I have several, actually, depending on which topic about such a creature you would be wanting to know. Biological? Theoretical? Historical? Practical?”
She sniffed, finishing the scribblings in her ledger and slamming the book shut. “But if what you want to know is simply, ‘where can I find one’, as I am to assume it is… then no. But I do know that they are rare on Altaer. In fact, they’re not native to this continent at all. They’re much further to the south-east, and you would need to sail very far to even find land in that direction. However…” As she thought, the little lady tapped her chin and flipped a set of very jangly keys around, causing Adam - who was busy admiring a large ebony and silver globe set - to look up curiously.
“…If I were to look into such a breed, I would speak to someone from Rhytora. The Sinclair March, for example, or the County where the Curtis family live. Both families and their kingdom alike are known and respected for their breeding of horses. If anyone were to have such a breed, or know of their whereabouts, it would be them.”
Adam Riposte
“What’chu talking’ about?” Adam asked, wandering back over with a wide and lazy step as he was still kind of confused what he was supposed to be doing there. “Also, what was it you wanted help with? Some sort of artifacts?” he glanced at Bronwyn. “That was what she said, right, I’m not just making all of this up and drunk off my ass somewhere…”

Malo Traduro-Gavishea
Malo tensed slightly at that reference. Commoners… What was so common about a person who wasn’t as respected or highly valued as you? He had never really liked it, but then again, there was much worse out there. More then he would like to recount.
At the mention of his mother, his eyebrows rose a little, and he smiled as he glanced sideways at Eulogia. “From what I know, she is doing alright, thank you for asking.” Though it didn’t help that he had been separated from her a lot since the war began. the last time he had actually seen her… well, it would have been almost six months now. He was almost starting to forget her face, and that was what hurt him the most. That, and her voice.
He cleared his throat, trying not to think about it. “And your family? Are they doing well? With the war, I hope things didn’t affect you all too badly, I know the capital had some troubles throughout the last few years.”
Some troubles. That was an understatement.

Oscar Xian
“Oscar.” Oscar replied bluntly, continuing with the idiot following behind him. Farrell. The name rang a bell, but to be fair Oscar never really paid much attention to the other lords or noble families in Elarin.
“Elarin is a small kingdom on an island in the west. It’s alright if you don’t know about it since you’ve probably only been on earth for a little while.”
He gave Jacob a seriously confused look, as if he was madder than a hatter, or had said that he was about to eat a hat with a side of apple fries and baked beans.
“Are you serious… you’re not wrong in the head are you? Like… upstairs.” He tapped his temple. “The lights are on up there, right? No offence, but I’m not an idiot, I know where Elarin is and I’m not actually from space.” He sighed. Maybe that was too harsh.
“Sorry… but you seriously need to practice sarcasm a bit more. I’m from the north, of Elarin, so yes I know that it’s a small island kingdom. I live there.”

I step out of the carriage. “You must be Camila Garcia.” Says the footman.
“Yes,” i say.
I hurry to the Crest of the Academy because my curls don’t do good in the heat. I walk up the stairs. I need a drink. I think. I walk into the lobby. I see a girl. I gather all my confidence, walk up to her and ask, “Do you know where the drinks are?” I think immediately Why did I say that? In my brain, I’m ramming my head into a wall.

I stare at the Mystveil Academy. Wow, I think, Straight out of those classy fairy tales. I say thanks when the footman greets me, and I look around. It’s a castle. I want to pluck a flower, but who knows if some fancy man would give me a taste of my own medicine.
I step up into the Academy, took out my map, and started going to my dorm.

“Do you know where the drinks are?” She gave her an awful look, as if she wanted to scream at her. Why the hell would she know where the hell to go get drunk as a bum. “What do I look like to you? A servant? No. Go find the bar yourself, I am not getting in trouble for stumbling around the halls like some bum on the street” She couldn’t help but get upset. Getting in trouble on the first day was not something she would like to do, I mean there was no way she wanted to go home.
She sighed feeling rude at the way she spoke to her, knowing she need to say something to fix it. “I am quite sorry for my attitude. Not having a very good day” She said bluntly, I mean who was she to be mean, she was one of the nicest people anyone met, or so she was told.
“Mia Ainsworth.” She introduced herself and gave a little curtsy. It may be a little weird curtsying to someone she’s never met before and who knows who this strange girl is, but she might as well do it anyways.

I felt a tad stunned, like someone shot me with a taser.

Mirabella (Mia)

“Pleasure to meet you” Mia gave a slight smile to try and lighten the mood. Drinks Here.
“Well yes I assume there are drinks here, but I am not taking the time out of my day to go drinking which may only get me in trouble.” I sigh. It didn’t help that they were still on the conversation that had only made Mia seem like a total brat. She was starting to get upset over the fact that she had already ruined her reputation.
She cleared her throat, trying to forget about it and only hoping she would drop the subject. “If you are asking where I am from then no. I am from a small island called Elarin.” She smiled. Elarin was beautiful and she was missing it already, the calm ocean that surrounds the island and the beautiful mountains and nature. Oh how she wished she could only bring it with her, that is leaving her family there.
“And you? Where are you from?”

@celestialkitten - Camila

[anon87018809]

Camila Garcia

“I’m from a kingdom, like, 12 hours away…” I paused. “I never heard of Elarin.” I thought of what she last said. “And, I wasn’t looking for vodka, I just wanted water.” I should have said that in the first place.
“Elarin sounds like a mountain range.” I add, hoping that saying that won’t start me up as a loner all over again.
@Megan - Mia

[Megan]

Mirabella (Mia)

“You’ve never heard of Elarin?!” She exclaimed. Well I mean it would make sense, not many people have heard of it since its quite small. “Its one of the most beautiful places in the world, you should definitely go one time.” She smiles just at the thought of it.
“Oh” She mumbles. This girl is crazy, she makes it seems as if she wants to go get drunk when all she really wanted was water. “Well in that case, I’m sure there must be water in the kitchen although I’m not too sure. You could ask the lady at front desk? Although she seems quite busy and would get snippy with you quite fast.” She looks over the girls shoulder too see the receptionist running around with files and making sure everything is perfect. She looks back at the girl in front of her. “I feel terribly sorry for thinking you wanted alcohol, I’m never that mean…” She trails off thinking about her day at the Academy and what it will bring. She blinks bringing her back to the conversation. “Just a rough day I guess” She chuckles.
“Anyways,” She shakes her head and takes a moment to think about what the girl said “it sort of is… Elarin is beautiful. Not only does it have breath taking mountains but since it is an island, it is filled with the most beautiful rivers. The ocean around it is almost this aqua blue, its beautiful. And the forests, they are full of the most unique flowers you will ever see.” She smiles and closes her eyes imagining the forest surrounding her while she sits in a tree reading whatever it is she was learning that day.
“Do you like Cynaria? What’s it like? I know my father had Elarin help out in the war and we were allies with Cynaria.”
My father was nothing but a complete *sshole

Clemontine Darcey

Lemon hesitated. “To an extent, yes.”

She sighed lightly as she continued with a rarely seen serious look.

“In some families men and women are treated equally, but in others it’s not the same. It’s mostly older noble families though that treat their women like…property. They believe that they have the right to marry them off to as a second wife to some rich family without asking or taking away their rights to their lands just because they’re female.”

“Some noble families do the same to the men as well.” She shrugged. “Going back to your kingdom, I don’t know much about the customs and stuff, but I think that everyone’s equal. Men, women, noble, commoner, we’re all the same to me. We’re all human and we all deserved to be treated as such.”

Lemon realized that she was beginning to get too serious and so she smiled.

“That’s just my personal opinion, you don’t have to take it seriously or anything.”

“Also,” she said, remembering something. “Mr. Guar- I mean, your second highness, do you prefer to be called by your title or…”

Jacob Farrell

“Oh, uh. I wasn’t being sarcastic.” Jacob said scratching his head. He didn’t quite understand what Oscar was getting at when he asked if there was something wrong with his head. Also, what in the world did he mean by ‘the lights are on up there’?

Something the ocelot- Oscar said registered in his mind and he finally realized something.

“Wait, you’re not from outer space?” Jacob asked, feeling a bit stupid.

A bit was an understatement. He was feeling a mix between confused, embarrassed, and surprised- which just rounded up to feeling stupid. He could now begin to understand Oscar’s strange look and question.

“But you said that you were an ocelot.” He said, trying to make himself feel better.

“And you actually live in Elarin?”

“No thanks, I’ll see if I have any drinks then. I lived in Cynaria for a long time, so there’s not much special. Its the largest kingdom, I love going to the Celistorin.” I didn’t know much people outside Cynaria, and no one had ever asked about it.

Mirabella (Mia)

“Yeah, you really should. There is a lot of tourism, so there’s a lot to do.” She slightly smiles. “Alright, suit yourself” She chuckles, wondering why she doesn’t just go ask.
She listens to this girl talk about this kingdom that honestly seemed quite boring. “Oh sounds like fun” She says with a little sarcasm. “Whats the Celistorin?” She asked hoping to a little about Cynaria, seeing as this girl didn’t give her much to work with.

Musa and Kanika

“To an extent, yes.” Clemontine answered, sighing heavily. “In some families men and women are treated equally, but in others it’s not the same. It’s mostly older noble families though that treat their women like…property. They believe that they have the right to marry them off to as a second wife to some rich family without asking or taking away their rights to their lands just because they’re female.”

“WHAT?!” Musa and Kanika said in unison, both equally outraged. Musa drwed his short sword, fuming, and Kanika furiously scribbled down her thoughts in her notebook, planning to jot them all in an angry letter home. What kind of barbaric place was this? Why were all these useless scabs given such privledges, and who told them that they deserved to have them? The two siblings grinded their teeth and clenched their fists with the identical fury they’d gotten from their mother.

“I think that everyone’s equal.” Lemon confessed, and the two both snapped to face her. “Men, women, noble, commoner, we’re all the same to me. We’re all human and we all deserved to be treated as such. Men, women, noble, commoner, we’re all the same to me. We’re all human and we all deserved to be treated as such. That’s just my personal opinion, you don’t have to take it seriously or anything.”

“THAT IS NOT TRUE!” Kanika cried.

“It’s kind of true.” Musa admitted quietly.

“Be quiet, Musa!” Kanika snapped at her brother. She then wheeled back on Lemon. “Men were born as second class citizens, created as second class citizens, and the lot of them are lucky that women even allow them to be that! Before women took Ujaama, our island was soaked with blood, children were orphaned and slaughtered, entire geneaologies were irradicated with a single slash of a sword! That is what happens when you give men too much power, and that is what is begining here! Women are objects here; How long will it take before those objects are broken, or thrown away and replaced like nothing? How long before the men start another war with eachother and burn all of the kingdoms to the ground? MEN CAN’T BE TRUSTED WITH ANYTHING THAT MATTERS, AND NEITHER, IT SEEMS, CAN YOU!” She turned back to her brother. “We are going to our rooms. Now.”

Musa stood there simple, barely acknowledging her.

Kanika huffed aand grabbed her luggage from him. “Find me in my room when you are feeling reasonable, brother. I will write mother immediately of these barbaric customs.” Then, with a huff, she stormed off.

Musa sighed, exhausted, and re-sheathed his sword. He turned appologetically to Clemontine. “I’m… I’m sorry about her. Mother’s taught her all the old traditions, and… Well, she hasn’t had the best expieriences with men…” He rubbed his neck sheepishly. “Please, My Lady, how can I make it up to you?” He asked, bowing.

Alicia Bennett

Ali had to think about it for a moment. Never, not once, had she ever been asked what she wanted to be called. Even her parents didn’t ask. They just called her Alicia. To be fair, she never actually told them to stop. “I guess… Well. Viscountess works fine.” She smiles up at him. On the one hand, Ali didn’t believe that she deserved the title. But on the other, it made her feel special. It made her sound important. It made her feel wanted. Ali did notice that he was bringing her to a more secluded area. It made her a bit uncomfortable. But also giddy.

Ali couldn’t help but laugh. She tended not to laugh at people. Usually out of fear that they’d hurt her. But Nick seemed… different than the other men she had met. Even though he was a bit cocky. “That’s really why I stay away from mountains.” Besides his comforting words, Ali still didn’t like mountains. He may know how to tell which rocks are safe, but she didn’t.

She can’t help but blush. Ali hadn’t meant to be too upfront. I don’t think it’s working very well. Ali would never actually say this to him. But in the past 10 minutes he’s ran away from his advisor, hid in a closet with a young lady, and then ran out trying to take said young lady to her dorm. At this point, Ali couldn’t really blame his parents. “I’m here to improve my writing. Well, and to please my parents.” Though her parents didn’t ask for much, they really insisted on her going to the school."

Columbus Eisenburg

“Yes I’m aware of all the problems that it could start.” He whisper shouted back. “That’s why I didn’t want to suggest anything!” It was an insane plan. But it could actually work. Although there were a lot of variables. It all depended on the prince. Though the princess might have some sympathy. If she approved, then Daegarimn couldn’t be so stupid as to start another war. Even this Earl wouldn’t have enough power to start a whole new war.

“Well, maybe you could come by to Stormholt.” Columbus suggested shyly. He wasn’t rich enough to own much property. Hopefully he’ll become a lawyer soon. Then he could support Elise better. If she wanted, Elise could stay with him until she made enough money to own land herself. Or she could stay with him until she found a man that she truly loved. “Okay.” He starts walking towards the lobby, too busy focusing on the plan to let her go first.

@BrookieK - Elise sorry for such the late reply. I got caught up in some stuff.

Bronwyn Thompson

Goodness, she’s tiny. Bronwyn couldn’t help but notice how short this girl was. She was even questioning if this Miss Mamie was really a staff member. Well, the fact that she was even behind the desk answered her question.
“I’m sorry. Is it bad for me to ask questions?” It wasn’t Bronwyn’s fault that she didn’t know about Miss Mamie’s “Oldest and most sought after book collection in all of Altaer.” She tried so hard to not roll her eyes. What a freaking nerd.
"Biological? Theoretical? Historical? Practical?”
“Okay, you just threw a bunch of words that end in ‘ical.’ Yet I have no idea what any of those mean. So could you talk a bit more like a 12 year old and not a 150 year old science teacher?” It was only common courtesy to act the way that you looked. So far, Miss Mamie did not have such courtesy.
“Great. So I have to talk to more people.” Hopefully they weren’t all like this librarian. She has the right to know how annoying she is. Bronwyn didn’t understand how her fellow staff could tolerate her. “Thanks, I guess.” She huffed a defeated sigh. She was really hoping that this would actually get somewhere at this school.
Hearing Adam’s voice, Bronwyn turns around, “Nothing.” She says, frightened that he might find out about her obsession with Camargue horses. “Babe.” She adds quickly, moving closer to him. “Nothing to worry about.” Bronwyn gives a flirtatious smile.
She turns back around to look at Miss Mamie. “Yes, that is what she said. I’m curious as well. How long will this little adventure take?”

“Good.” Gia says quickly. She knew that the war had killed a lot of people. And she was worried that his mother might have been one of them. “Hopefully we’ll I’ll see her around soon. We really miss her down at the bakery.” Well, now that she’s at the school, she may not see her at all. Except for maybe Christmas. “Yes. Luckily my family is doing well. They mainly supplied bread and food to the women that lost their loved ones.” Seeing as women really relied on men in Daegarimn, when there husbands or sons died it made things much more difficult for their families. But they did lose quite a lot of business in Cynaria. Gia guessed that was to be expected. The whole war had really just been a big misunderstanding. It wasn’t really the Wolf King’s fault. He didn’t want to apologize for something he had nothing to do with. If anything, Cynaria over reacted. It was like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum, embarrassing. “The Woods try and stay out of politics.” It made it really hard to own a business when people didn’t agree with your political views. “What about you? Any close friends that would be here with you?”
