Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adjusting was proving to be more a challenge than Rose had anticipated; the days were long and the nights were longer without something to fill the empty space of the dorm and the clutter in her thoughts.

She'd already paid a visit to the classrooms and the lake, and though it was late, she felt a little peckish - which, of course, came with the territory when one was used to working nights and not eating a real meal until the wee hours of the morning. Having not yet changed for bed, she simply draped a cowl over her shoulders and hair to ward off the breeze that came in over the lake, crossing the grounds from her dorm to the Hearth.

Rose had half expected to run into someone, but still managed to look surprised when she spotted an unfamiliar woman with a mug between her hands. "Good evening," she greeted the other as she pulled her cowl down, offering a tired smile. "The nights seem longer here, don't they?" A soft chuckle accompanied her words, making her way to the fridge she'd put her food in. After a moment of consideration, she withdrew some red grapes on a plate and moved back to the woman, motioning to the seat across from her in askance.
