He continued his work out, shaking his head, "No, I'm not taking it...I'm teaching it." Has this child never seen a full grown man before, he thought to himself.

Zane sighed in content, his breath all ragged from his run. He'd been at the school for 2 hours, getting there extreamly early, and went running for a hour after exploring the school. He entered the courtyard and found a stop on the ground and promtly layed down, trying to get more air into his lungs.

Storm huffed, pulling her bag up on her should more as she glazed up at the school. Another new year, new pupils to teach. She made her way through the halls and to her rooms. She dropped off her stuff and hurred to put them away. Better to do it now then later when she had other important things to be doing. The last thing she pulled out of her bag was her new book about the art of potion making which she had been studying even though she knew most of what was in there. She walked out of the room, book in hand towards the Rose Garden.

"Oh really? My bad then," replied Rhia. "So you're teaching combat. I feel bad for the students then."

Rhia sighed and looked over the courtyard. Classes, she sighed. Why do we even have to take classes? I'd rather just stay here and walk, sleep, eart.

He snorted in amusement, those words coming from a spectator who had no intention of taking any of his classes were complimentary. "Maybe when you're ready then. A great many dryads, nymphs, druids, satyrs and the like learn to use simple weapons at least. Things like slings and staves. Spell casters can't always rely on their magic."

"I'd rather not," Rhia said confidently. "Weapons always mean war, and war always mean blood, and blood mean, well, I'd rather not say."

Rhia suddenly stood stiffly, as if some unhappy image had crossed her mind.

He nodded his head slightly as he changed his stance in to a low squat and began to thrust his axe out in front of him as if to jab an invisible opponent with the top of his axe head, again parting the air before him. "Then I take it that you won't be learning much in the ways of the dark arts?"

"Whoever said that only swords and axes applied to dark arts?" said Rhia. "I am taking potions, spells,and metamorphism, you know."

Rhia relaxed and made herself more comfortable on the bench, yawning slightly.

Again he shook his head, "Swords and axes are martial arts. When I say dark arts, I'm referring to things that fall under evil magic. Things like curses, blood magic, bone magic, and necromancy." He turned to face her now as he continued his training. "Are you a first year student?"

"Well, then. My bad again," said Rhia. "Then no. Like I said, blood isn't my thing. And as for a first year student, this is my first year yes."

Sanoko walked out to the courtyard still mad at Maoko. He couldn't seem to be quiet sometimes. Sure it was alright to talk that way to the kids at the orphanage, but now wasn't good. She saw someone in the courtyard and went up to them. "Hi."

Rhia turned to see the redhead, surprisingly not with the other guy.

"So," she smirked. "Look who's here."

Sanoko didn't say anything at first she just looked at her. "Sorry about Maoko." she said. She felt she had to apologize for the way he was.

Hennon finished his exercises and took a seat on the ground, catching his breath. Though he felt great now he would most certainly be sore tomorrow. Oh well, he thought to himself, it was the price he paid for being this active at his age and he had most certainly felt more severe pain in his life. With a nod to the two young ladies he took his leave, and returned to the teacher's dormitory. After taking an excessively hot shower, Hennon decided now would be a good time to gets some dinner.

Rhia nodded to the professor and watched him take his leave, sweat glinting in the sun. She then raised her head to gaze at the clouds before answering.

"It's okay, I don't expect everyone to accept me, and I really don't care for that matter." Rhia cocked her head towards the redhead and said mysteriously, "Still though, I wonder . . ."

The sun had begun to set, and enclosing the courtyard in its fiery glow. So much for getting to know the school, she thought. I spent too much time talking to the dude and that teacher.

Rhia got up from the bench and began to make her way back to her dorm. She took a few steps, then turned around back to the girl. "Hey redhead, you coming?"

"Wonder about what?" she asked as she looked at her. She then looked around the courtyard and up at the sky. She looked back at Rhia when she had said something else. "Yeah I'm coming." she said and began walking back with her to the dorms.

Zane sat up when he noticed the sky darkining. Siging, he got up and jogged to his dorm passing by two girls who he gave a quick 'hi' to; not bothering to stop. If he stopped it would of taken him longer to get up to his room and in to his shower. Not to mention it would mean that the annoying hair tie holding his hair back would stay in longer.

Storm glanced up to the sky when she noticed it was getting harder to read. She sighed and walked back into the school, stopping for a breif second to grap three roses and their stems. 'perfect.' she thought as she put them to her nose and breath in deeply.

Rhia walked quickly towards the school. She was getting hungry, and she knew with her sense of direction and the school's lack of a map, she would get seriously lost.

She passed a guy who gave her no attention but a mere hi, so she said nothing in return. Instead, she walked to the dorms, aware of the redhead following her all the while.

"Hey, I'm going to get something to eat. Coming?" she asked.

Sanoko walked into the school and looked around until she saw a little thing off to the side that looked like it might have something helpful in it. She walked up to it. It maps in it. She grabbed two and went up to the dorms. She nodded at Rhia's question. "Yeah sure and here is you a map. They had them hidden basically."

"Map, oh really?" Rhia said as she scanned the map. "Alright, it looks like the cafeteria's in the basement." Rhia wrinkled her nose. Who would put the cafeteria in the basement?!? "So you coming? I just need to grab my keys and some change."

In the basement? She thought and then nodded. "Yeah I'm coming. I'm kind of hungry myself."

"Alright then."

Rhia walked to her dorm, looking for her stuff. Right, she thought. I didn't unpack them yet. She snapped her fingers, materializing her belongings. Then with another nudge of her magic, her purse came shooting out of a bundle of clothes, money and keys intact. With another snap, everything was put away.

Rhia walked out and waited in front of the redhead's dorm.

Sanoko came out with her key and money. "Alright I'm l to go."

As soon as Zane got into his room he rushed into the shower and scrubbed himself throughly, he hated the smell of sweat. He stepped out of the shower and headed stright to his dresser and pulled out a red polo shirt, a black loose tie and a pair of blue jeans which he quickly changed into. He was running a brush through his hair, drying it as he did, when his stomach growled. He hadnt eaten anything all day. With a sigh he threw on some flip flops and headed out the door, grabbing his wallet on the way and stuffing it in his pocket. Shutting the door behind him, not bothering to lock it seeing as there was nothing valuble in there anyway, he turned to see two girls in the hall way.
"Excuse, do you lovly ladys know where any food resided in this place?" He asked walking over to them.

Sanoko turned to look at the boy. "Yeah that's where we're going now. You could come with us if you like." she said to him.

"I would love too." He said giving them a smile. "Some people interaction would be great right now. Im Zane by the way."
