Directly to the left of the entry, and across form the dorms is the dining hall. This red brick building is filled with dozens of antique cherry wood tables and matching chairs. Each table is capable of seating twenty people, and is decorated with a maroon tablecloth and four candelabras placed every two seats. At the far end of the hall opposite the entrance and raised on a small platform is the head table, embellished with a maroon and gold tablecloth. This table is where the headmistress and the staff sits. On the right side of the hall are a pair of large double doors. Bruce, the chef, and be found there in the kitchen. He is responsible for taking your order, what ever it may be. Bruce is trained in every form of cuisine, and can prepare any meal no matter how varried your taste may be. There is also a waitstaff to bring you your meal and keep the hall clean.

Glissa glided down slowly toward the building and landed with a clack on the door step. She set Tiffie down next to her, then pulled open the large wooden doors hall.
"Over here Tiffie!" She walked down one of the rows of tables to a large table at one end of the room. That table was covered in dark red cloth, unlike the rest that were in white, and was on a raised platform. Golden plates and cups adorned the top of the table. No one else was sitting at the table when she walked up. Promptly she walked around to the other side and sat down in the large high-backed chair at the center of the table.

As they landed, Tiffie couldn't help but be a bit sad the flight was over. However, the sight of the head table at the end of the hall quickly distracted her. It was...elegant, especially in comparison with the others, and something that Tiffie hadn't been able to experience in a long while.
"Wow..." She breathed, walking slowing down the row. Even sitting at the plain white tables would've been perfectly alright with her - back home, there hadn't been much fuss over the dining area, so it was rather...lackluster compared to this. As she approached the head table, she figured she might as well sit next to Glissa. 'If someone on the staff is suppose to sit there, I'll just move~' She thought as she sat down on the headmistress' left.

Glissa waited a few more minutes for more people to file into the hall and sit down. Then she stood up. The lights in the hall dimmed and it grew silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the opening banquet! Tonight we will celebrate the grand opening of Tenshi High!" There was a light applause. Glissa raised a hand and motioned to the kitchen doors at the far end. The doors banged open and a dozen or so carts rolled out, each pushed by a small anthros girl. They set out platters of decadent food out on the serving tables, and the sent of roasted meats and freshly baked bread wafted through the hall. Bruce the head chef wheeled a large cart fool of food up to the head table. When he got there he bowed deeply.
"What would you like tonight, ladies?"
"I'll have the fillet mignon and wine Bruce... What would you like Tiffie?"

Tiffie felt very out of place at the head table when she realized how many other people would be in the dining hall. "Uhm...I'll have a baked potato...uhm...roast beef, and water please...if it's not too much trouble, that is~" She said politely, even if it was a bit on the quiet side. After all, Tiffie didn't quite know what they had food-wise, and didn't want to assume... But it had been such a long time since she had a good meal like that...
"Make the meat raw! Make it raw! Bloody raw-y goodness!" Moofles randomly chanted. Tiffie visibly twitched, and told her to hush under her breath, hoping no one would notice.

Glissa looked at Tiffie out of the corner of her eye. Something was deffinatelyl different about that girl. At least she wasn't causing any harm.
"So how do you like Tenshi so far Tiffie? Oh thank you Bruce!" Bruce had set both plates of food onto the table and slid them forward so they were right in front of the girls. He then pulled out some pitchers from the bottom of the cart and filled their glasses.
"If you need anything else, just ring the bell." He replaced the pitchers, bowed deeply again, and pushed the cart back toward the kitchen.

"Thank you sir~" Tiffie said, looking happily at the food before her, looking thoughtful. What did she like about Tenshi? "...well," She started, taking a sip of her water. "I dunno...I like how open it feels...and how big it is...even if I did get lost~" She smiled, taking a bite of her potato.
"If you don't mind me asking...why did you decide to become the headmistress of a school like this?"

Glissa cut a large piece of her meat and was about to pop it in her mouth when she paused.
"Well... To be honest, I've been on the surface world for over a century. When demons are away from the underworld for a long time, they begin to calm down slightly. I found this castle and started living here oh, bout 50 years ago. While I was here, I began to feel lonely. I hadn't realized it before, but I actually enjoy being around people..." She let out a deep sigh, poped the large hunk of meat into her mouth, and began chewing it vigorously.

Tiffie chewed thoughtfully on her food for a bit. "Oh...well, that's really nice of you to open a school...I mean, you get to be around people, and we get to learn..." She sipped her water, wondering if she should mention a few things about herself.
"Or you could mention me! I'm an awesome party conversation! Especially if you mention that time with that penguin and that cheese..."
"Hush already, you crazy little...!" She snapped a bit too loudly before she could catch herself.

"Okay... What's up? You keep talking to yourself..." Glissa set down her silverware and turned to face Tiffie. She had brushed it off since she met her. Glissa highly doubted she was telling her potato to hush.

Crap.
"Hah. I win." Moofles did a little mental dance.
"Uhm...well..." She began quietly, turning slightly red and staring at her potato. "You see, there's a...uhm...a spell went wrong one day...and I've got an...uhm...well, a deity...a snarky one at that...in my head...named Moofles...and she's annoying..." If only her potato would get up and dance...maybe then she could escape out the door and hide somewhere until she was less...utterly embarrassed.

"Wow, really?!?" Glissa leaned in close and tapped Tiffie's head.
"I've heard of that happening before. Ya know, people's gettin stuck in other people's heads and stuff... But I've never actually met some one who's had that happen. Tell me more!" Glissa's curiosity for the strange has always gotten the better of her, and more often than not she would forget about common curtasy and just pester a person untill her curiosity was satisfied.

Tiffie blinked a bit as she was randomly tapped on the head, her neko-like ears twitching downard slightly at the touch, which temporarily distracted her from her desire to flee in some random direction. "Uhm...well, there's not much to say, really. About a year ago, I was flipping through my tome..." She motioned to the rather large leather book on her lap. "...and I came across a spell for increasing mental awareness...for healing and such." She paused, taking a bite of her potato. "Only, I think I said it wrong, since....well, Moofles appeared. She's been with me ever since..."
Shrugging slightly, looking up at Glissa, she added. "It was really just an unlucky fluke..."

"Moofles? That name sounds familiar... Oh well..." Glissa plopped back down in her seat and continued scarfing down her filet mignon.
"You know, the November exams are coming up soon. You can earn a ton of credits if you take them... You interested at all?" She picked up her glass and gulped down the rest of her wine.

"Well, I....guess I could give them a try." She finished off her food, and resumed sipping on her water. "What exactly would they be like?" She hoped it'd be something within her powers to do, but...even if it was too hard for her, it wouldn't hurt to give it a go.
