Welcome to Gaia! ::

The first morning rays of the sun seemed to greet Lenair, as well as Aramil as they continued to tread away from the church, which now basked within the coming sunlight. As they gradually traversed, the cathedral itself seemed not to shrink or lose its enormous stature in any way. It was truly one of the tallest buildings, aside from the tower which hosted as the girls' dormitory. But Lenair no longer focused upon the church, as her job had been complete there, she would only return for possibly another night or morning. The end of her wooden staff would make a gentle clack against the concrete as she treaded onward, spotting a dome shaped building with a purely glass ceiling that stretched along one of the interior and exterior walls of the edifice.

From the transparent view, Lenair was able to spot a grouping of students, not only inside, but a scant number of them outside as well as they gossiped and enjoyed their lunches in peace. The structure is nice... Even as she traipsed over the cement, she continued to admire the exterior of the cafeteria with hidden amusement, as Aramil and herself made their way to the entrance, which was composed of a glass door with metal bordering it on all edges and sides. Lenair first transferred her staff from her left hand to her right, which was attached to the arm that still lay intertwined with Aramil's. She gently pushed against one of the single doors, as it moved inward, allowing them entrance. From there, she took her first steps into the foreign building, but did not tread too far as she waited for Aramil to follow her.

*Kanna slowly makes her way to the cafetorium, her nose buried in a book as usual.Today it was The Stand by Stephen King and she was just getting to chapter 23, one more page to go.As she walks into the caf, she dodges oncoming or outgoing people without even lifting her head up once.As she reaches a spot to sit, she plunks herself down, lowers her book for a moment and glances around.* "Wow...Really pretty cafeteria...I like it..." *She would then return to reading her book silently.*

*Kanna woke up, her head rested on the table, and she rubbed her eyes as she sat up straight and her dull grey orbs scanned the cafeteria slowly."Hmm...Must have dosed off while reading..."With a yawn, she picks up her book as she gets ready to leave.The caf was nice, but too many people bothered her on the occasional day, and today was one of those days.With one more glance around the caf, she starts walking, her heels clicking along the floor but unheard from all the chit chat of other students and teachers.When she reaches the door, she pushes it open and steps out to explore other parts of the school, preferrably the library.*

Aramil nods "Yes there is a lot more of Ria in general than meets the eye. But yes the official Ria cafeteria tour, where to begin?" he looks pensive "Well we have your basic types at Ria: Shifters, Magi, Elementalists, Swordspeople" he says with a smirk "You have to be politically correct and say Swordspeople, some guy got slapped for saying swordsman. Now where was I? Oh yes the types of people. We have a few techies as we call em, they're the engineers of Ria, we also have the priests over there, oh yes you can't forget the Non-Humans, and lastly the teachers. Just a friendly warning about the Non-Humans, be very carefull on what you say, you never know what they might take offense to. That about does it for people. Oh one last warning, never agree to test any of the techies equipment, you never know what exactly will happen" he adds with a grin. "Anything else you wish to know? I know I was a bit vague"

"Which one? We've had to remodel three times now. Usually some kids get into a fight out there and blow the whole place sky high. Its getting rather expensive and annoying to keep having to fix it. If you are going to get some food, I must depart for a moment and see the Headmaster about my class. I will be rejoining you shortly, and I trust you can find the line for yourself?" he asks "Well Miss Lenair, I will be seeing you shortly, but until my return..." he says with a bow. Chanting a few quick words in the arcane language, his body fades from sight as he teleports away.

"I see, that is quite a nuisance." She nodded understandingly and rested her head against her staff for a short while. "Well, at least I know why the courtyard had appeared so battered and fragmented." Her head soon lifted as he told her of his need to depart for a while. She nodded first, feeling that finding the lunch line would not be a difficult task. One of the single lengths of her hair seemed to block her vision, but further complications were obviated as she pushed it gently to the side with her finger. "Yes, I'll be fine. I'll just wait here for you." Her smile remained ever so gentle as she watched him bow, and then vanish, without even the need of exuded smoke. Another wave of surprise seemed to tumble over her for a short while. Wow... he's gifted with teleportation. I guess that comes with being an Archmagus. She soon lifted her staff, swiftly transferring it into her right hand as she made her way down the decorative corridor. Her staff commenced its barely audible clacks against the tiled floor, as her boots followed in suit with their light grazing motions against the ground. She traced a few lone fingers along her tattooed cheek, feeling the outlines of the enigmatic marks. They had always been there, as well as the ones found along the left side of her body. They were her birthmarks. Lenair became somewhat lost within thought, and almost unconsciously treaded into the main lunchroom. Rows upon rows of tables were set out within the extremely spacious room. She only broke free of her contemplation as a few loud screams ruptured her ear drums. She blinked first, gazing over towards the side as she spotted the nearly empty lunch line. I guess I made good timing. Her feet carried her over to the line, where multifarious kinds of food were displayed, as though expecting a culinary set of window shoppers. She lightly grasped a clean tray as she began her scavenger hunt. Lenair's sapphire eyes scanned over the array of foods, filled with splendor as she found quite a few indelible favorites. First, her hand plucked a set of delicious medium sized fuji apples. But it made a rebound as she also grabbed a bottle of fresh spring water, a pre-made garden salad, and also a delectable tuna-sandwich. As her items were piled onto her tray, and she found herself rather satisfied with her current choices. She continued down the line, passing a few other indecisive students as they pondered over choosing the mystery dish or something more so familiar. As she came down, face to face with the cashier, she felt her single pocket, before pulling out her I.D. card. The comely lady that stood behind the register peered at her I.D. from afar, comparing the image with Lenair's over visage, almost in question. But as a gracious smile took form from her inquisitive gaze, she nodded her O.K. and allowed Lenair to pass. "Thank you," Lenair kindly articulated. She then left, in search of an available lunch table.

"Thank you sir" and with that Aramil re appeared from the Headmasters office but instead of teleporting infront of Lenair as he had hoped, his calculations were slightly off and he ended up teleporting on top of her "What the?! Ouch!" he yelps as he re appears. Quickly standing up to recover what is left of his dignity he offers his hand to Lenair. "I'm terribly sorry about all that, I had assumed you were standing still when I cast my spell, I found out you weren't the hard way..." he says with a slight blush tracing the edges of his cheeks. "My we are a mess" he remarks after looking at the spilled food "Oh well, I'll just clean this up" waving his hand the spilt food disapears off the floor and her clothing, taking away any sign of their earlier presence "Since I did cause the mess, should I go get you more food?" he asks still very embaressed and flushed
