Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sugar Maple walked into the courtyard it was early afternoon and there was a lot of time before it would get dark dark, the twilight of the below still made it easy to see. Sugar was nervous for another reason there were caretakers standing around and little and big tents set up around the courtyard on the grass. Sugar Maple was here for a school function a backyard camp out there wasn't a fire pit that Sugar could see but she didn't mind since she likely wouldn't go near it if there was one. She held her sleeping bag under her arm, school camp out. She took a deep breath she could do this she would be fine it was just one night sleeping outside and Sugar Maple was a dryad they were awakened of nature so Sugar shouldn't be nervous about sleeping outside with other freshlings and seniors. Well, that might have been the bigger problem Sugar's social fears, would anyone like her, would she make a friend? Or would she cry herself to sleep tonight because she was lonely and sad.. Sugar shook her head those thoughts weren't very helpful. She went to find a caretaker to talk to so she could find her tent, she wondered if they would be sharing with other freshlings. She would like not being alone.

Sugar Maple went in the direction of the tent the caretaker pointed her to, she then saw the naga over by the same tent, they seemed so bright and cheerful greeting her like that. Sugar nodded and said softly "Yes this is where the caretaker told me to go.. Is that ok?? I'm Sugar Maple." She said just as softly still hoping her presence wouldn't annoy the naga. What if they didn't like her and sent her away. Sugar needed to be in the here and now the naga had greeted her nicely everything would be fine, she had nothing to worry about right??

Sugar frowned and shifted her foot nervously. "Umm well if you don't want me here I can go ask the caretakers for another spot.." Sugar Maple really would go somewhere else if she thought she was unwanted she didn't think highly of herself. After all she had no family, there had to be a reason for that right? Sugar was about as calm as you could get, she had tried to play soccer but that hadn't gone very well. Sugar was better at reading and writing than she was at sports. "Umm well I guess so, I'm a little nervous or well a lot nervous." Dark, other freshlings, being outside at night. Which was funny since Sugar was part dryad you would think she would feel comfortable. She looked down at the cookies that Luc held and said "Is that for me??" She asked in a soft tone. Sugar giggled "That sounds like a lot." She said softly getting a little more comfortable with Luc. She took the cookies Luc offered so they could sit and eat cookies together.

Sugar crawled into her tent and turned on her lantern, she pulled out a book and read for a while before she heard the caretakers say that it was time for lights out they all had to go to bed. Sugar took her lantern into her sleeping bag so she could read for a little bit longer instead of going to bed. She was reading a story with a lamp and a genie and lots of wishes, it was such a wonderful story. She fell asleep in her sleeping bag upside down next to her book and dreamed about magic lamps.
