"I don't want you to think that you can't ask questions." He said quietly. "This is, after all, an academy of notable educational achievement." She knew what was important, that the keystone students had powers. The dangerous nature of those powers would be enough to make her wary of getting too involved with them.
"The Keystone students do indeed have special abilities. None of them are human. However, there is nothing to fear from them. I have taken measures to ensure that they are unable to harm the normal students." He wondered if the method of education he'd suggested for Rosalin would work for this girl as well.
"My suggestion to you is to go and talk with some of the keystone students. Get to know them. You'll learn more from them than you will from me."

Ella smiled.
" Well, alright. That's all I wanted to know." She drained her cup, and stood from her chair. Honestly, she was more intrigued and excited about non-humans, rather than scared. She was willing to go and seek out some of the Keystone students, but decided she would wait a little while. Everyone needed time to settle into a new environ, and she doubted they were any exception.
" Thank you very much, sir. Is it alright if.." She gestured towards the door, wondering if she could be dismissed.

"If there's nothing left you'd like to discuss, then you're free to leave. Ah! and don't forget to pick up your uniform from the clothier in Moline village."
He smiled at her and waved her out of the office.
Samyule leaned against the wall on the other side of the door. he was chewing on a toothpick to ease a little of his impatience at being summoned like this. From the look on his sister's face, you would think that the envelope he'd received was the greatest thing that had ever happened to him. He had his doubts.
Regardless, he hoped that the headmaster would get this interview over with quickly. Hands shoved in his pockets, he waited for his turn.

Ella nodded her head respectfully at the headmaster, before exiting the office, humming and smiled per usual. She smiled brightly at the rather cute boy just outside, and gestured towards the door.
" He's free now. Im sure you can go in." Her accent was obvious. She turned towards the bench on the other side of the door, and gathered together her luggage, taking special care to strap her guitar to her back, the strap of the case going across her chest.

"Ah. Thanks." Samyule replied, casting a glance at her guitar, and walking for the door.
The headmaster was standing in the doorway, waiting for him. "Samyule Perry? I've heard about you from your sister, please come in." After closing the door, Kaien took a long look at the boy. Tall, tanned, obviously full of himself, he was exactly what Gloria had told him to expect.
"I hear you're quite the casanova, young man."
"Yeah, what about it?" Samyule said, crossing his arms and sitting in the chair.
"Nothing particular. I would just like to remind you that we are a professional institution, and we expect our students to be well-behaved." Kaien folded his arms on the table, and watched Samyule mull this around in his head.
"I have already told your sister to give you the rules of my Academy and the details of your stay here. Did she impart that knowledge to you?"
"Yeah, for about three hours. Do you guys really house non-human students?"
"Yes, and I'm glad she's explained the situation to you." That's one less troublesome thing today. He thought. "Do you have any other questions?"
"What room am I in?"
"Room 101. I've already had it reserved for you." Kaien handed him a small key. "Any other questions?"
"No, sir. Not right now."
"excellent, then you're free to go. Just keep your charm to yourself and we'll be fine, understood?" It was a quick and painless interview, Kaien thought, something he'd expected from Gloria's brother. Opening the door, he ushered the boy out, watching as he went down the hall and out of the building.
Kaien closed the door and decided to finish the paperwork he was in the middle of completing.

With a dufflebag filled with clothing and other things in one hand, and a sandwich in the other, Donovan slowly made his way to the Headmaster's office while munching on the sandwich contently. His eyes caught wind of a female just stepping out of the headmaster's office and he smiled a bit, and sat on a nearby bench as he waited for his turn to go into the office, since another boy had been waiting. When he finally exited, he stood up, nodded respectfully to the boy and walked over to the door, opening it slowly and knocking on the door. "Excuse me headmaster? I believe that I was told to come to you for....how you say...room and board?" His heavy Russian accent was a bit hard to figure out, but it was easy enough to guess at what he was saying since he was speaking so properly and at a reasonable speed.

Kaien looked up and registered the face of the student. "Ah yes, Donovan Olonov. I was expecting you. Please come in." He gestured to the chair across the desk, smiling warmly.
"I hope you've had an easy trip."

"I did headmaster, and thank you for your concern." Donovan said with a smile as he sat in the chair across from Kaien. "Headmaster, I am truly honored that I have been accepted here, I will make sure not to let you down." He said with a hint of excitement in his voice before taking another bite of his sandwich and then finishing the rest quickly.

"We are as honored to have you as you are honored to be here. Your list of extra-curricular interests is impressive. You'll be a great addition to our sports program on campus."
Kaien smiled warmly and pulled out a key from his desk. "Let's get down to business, Mr. Olonov. Your room will be Oak Dorm 102, Here is the key. I also have several rules to inform you of before you start your stay with us: First, no one is allowed inside the Gateway house. Second, Do try to avoid wandering into Maple and Keystone Dormitories. The young ladies of Maple and the...students...of Keystone will probably not appreciate untoward visitors. Other than that, you are free to make use of the campus in any way you wish."
He hated having to give the same speech to each student, but it was necessary in order to prevent mishaps. "Do you have any questions?"

Outside of the room, a strange creature was nearly flitting about. Large brown eyes, so brown they were almost black, scanned the polished wood with a sense of fascination. Her name was Fern, a Fae, marked by the large, translucent wings on her back.
"He sure is taking forever." Having nothing better to do, Fern began to alk around on bare feet here and there, until she stumbled, quite literally, upon a new friend. Any onlooker would have trouble understanding that the conversation she was having with the potted plant was far from one-sided.
"...are you now? That's rather sad... I could get another little plant, if you like, though really I think you shouldn't even be cooped up in this place." Back in her realm, the homes were so open to the air that the new enclosures made her feel penned in. "Wouldn't make it? Nonsense, a little air and sunshine would do your leaves some good.... we could bring you in when the weather got too cold. Is it too cold now?... oh. Then in the summer, then!" And so it carried on...

Donovan was slightly confused, but merely assumed that if he was told not to go over there, then there was a definitely good reason. "No sir, I do not have any questions at the moment, but I will make sure to come to you if I think of any sir." After standing, taking the key to his room, and smiling politely, he said his goodbyes and made his way out of the room, where a girl was talking to a plant and another female was sitting on a bench waiting to see the headmaster. Rather than take time to talk to her, he decided that it was time he left, and made his way to his dorm room.
----------------------------
Marie merely eyed the boy as she kept a small backpack filled with clothes next to her guitar that she kept out of it's case since she didn't have one. It was old, but it looked like new since she kept it in rather good condition. Since the other girl was preoccupied, she merely walked into the room and looked at the Headmaster carefully. "Are you the bloke that I come to for me dorm room key and whotnot?" Marie's accent was similar to a Londoner that lived in the slums and it showed that she was such by the unorthodox way she sat in her chair.

Kaien eyed the Fae suspiciously, but decided she was occupied and gestured for Marie to enter his office. "Seeing as how my other interviewee is currently...occupied, you're next."
He smiled warmly at her, "Welcome to the Academy, I assume you've acquainted yourself with the particulars of our academics, so I'll not bore you with the usual speech given by headmasters and jump right to the point."
Pulling a key from his drawer, he handed it to her "You'll be in Maple dorm with the other girls and in room 103. I've already had the pleasure of meeting two others in your same class, Ellanore and Rosalin. You'll find them good companions, I feel."
"I also have a few rules for you to abide by, First, no one is allowed inside the Gateway house. Second, Do try to avoid wandering into Oak and Keystone Dormitories. The boys in Oak and the students of Keystone would probably appreciate their privacy. We do have many gardens and quiet places for you to retreat to, however, so you shouldn't feel too fenced in."
"I know this is a lot to take in, but do you have any questions?"

Marie merely shook her head. She wanted to get out of this room and play her guitar, it had been so long since she had worked on her voice that she felt as if that she was getting a bit rusty. After clearing her throat, she took her key and stood up. "If you'll excuse me guv'nah, I'm not one for...formalities and I'd like to go somewhere by myself. As for the other girls, as long as they don't piss me off, then we'll have no problems...See ya soon then guv'nah." With that, she turned away from the Headmaster and started to walk out to the nearest fountain so she could play and relax, but not before grabbing her backpack and guitar.

He blinked, half expecting her to want to ask about the strange "Keystone students" as all the girls seem to have done, but recovering his composure quickly.
"Well, if they bother you, please do come and see me." He smiled at her as she left and decided to call for the girl in the hallway.
"I believe It's your turn." he said, Smiling. "I have a lovely ficus in my office you might like to meet."

"Oh!" Needless to say, as Fern looked after the departing girl, she felt very silly. "I did it again, didn't I? Overlooking something right there, in the open. Silly Fern," she chided softly as she went over to the friendly man. Fern was very short, only barely reaching five feet. Her personality, though, could reach over any gap. Her smiling, bright eyes looked up to the Headmaster with so much enthusiasm, it seemed she was at risk to burst. "Hello! I think I'd like to meet you first!" Fern declared with an accompanying giggle.
