Welcome to Gaia! ::

Who knows why Shaheen had decided to wander so close to the actual academy on this day. She may have decided to finally do some scavenging around for materials and supplies in this area, though she felt much more at home and at ease in the forest itself, or in the area that the war clan had decided to make camp, where seedlings were beginning to grow into the trees that they could finally build their new homes in. Perhaps she was just bored, or curious, having not gotten near the school until now. Indeed, she did almost look quizzical as her gaze swept the campus grounds, her eyes trailing over the students as they bustled about on their daily business.

She had stopped near the edge of a path, somewhat hidden in the shadows of the school, trying not to draw too much attention to her 6'2" frame, as difficult as that was. Her blonde hair streaked with grey was tied back from her face in a thick braid that trailed down to between her shoulder blades, leaving her bronzed skin tainted with grey scale exposed for anybody to see. her arms were crossed over her chest, her head tilted slightly to one side, like a large bird eyeing it's prey. She stood, silent and still like this, for the better part of an hour, whatever thoughts she held inside of that head a mystery to all who might have seen her.

A voice caught her attention, and Shaheen turned her head towards it, eyes snapping down to the headless ghoul quickly and arms uncrossing, her stance suddenly poised as though she were ready to do battle.

But it was just a...student? She assumed it must be. The ghoul looked like a child, at least (or what Shaheen considered to be a child), not nearly old enough to be a teacher, surely. Her face remained impassive as her body relaxed, her wings folding in neatly behind her and pressing up against her back. "Good day." She nodded, and then a small frown creased her features. Was she okay? No she most definitely was not. But she doubted this young ghoul knew anything about that.

"I'm fine." She offered, her forehead smoothing out once more as she lifted up a hand and gestured towards the school. "I just thought I might come and have a closer look at the facilities here. I've only recently been admitted into the lost clans reserve, so have not yet had a chance to observe the school and it's inhabitants." Shaheen realized belatedly that it might help ease this ghouls mind if she at least offered her a smile, so she twitched her lips up in what she hoped was something more reassuring, though of course it only came out looking more like the horsewoman's usual self satisfied smirk.

She just didn't know how to properly smile, okay?
