Students gather in the large room, waiting for orientation to start.
Care walked slowly into the orientation room. Only about 100 students gathered there but he knew none of them and on top of that was very nervous. Care walked around the long tables until he found an open space and sat down between two girls, not knowing who they were.
(( s'okay fishi, I understand ))

Shanti brushed her bangs out of her eyes as she sat, waiting for the orientation to begin. Busy looking around the room at all the new faces she didn't notice a younger boy making his way over to her until her wings were brushed against as he sat down. Blinking, she pulled her wings in closer and turned to look at the boy. Her eyes quickly scanned over his appearance, making a note of his coloring.

Care hunched his shoulder and pulled his wings and tail close around him. He looked around but saw no other calicos in sight. 'Great' he thought 'now I'm a freak here too'. Care rested his chin in his hands and his elbows on the table in front of him.

Shanti tilted her head to the side as she gazed at the boy, not really caring that she was practically staring. She watched as he looked around and made himself smaller. Figuring that he was just scared she began to hum what she hoped was a calming melody and turned her attention back to the book that was open in front of her.

Glances over at the girl's book, not so much curious as idol. He was board as hell.

Noting movement out of the corner of her eye, Shanti looked up to find the boy looking at her book. Waving her hand in front of his vision to get his attention she waited until he looked up and smiled.

Care looked up at the girl terrified. What did she want? She was pretty but obviously quite a bit older than him... why should she want to talk to him. He tried to smile but she still seemed to look worried.

Shanti quickly picked up on how scared the boy was and folded her wings behind her in hopes that she would look more friendly without the huge black things spread out behind her. She continued to smile and tilted her head a little to the side, speaking softly as she told him her name. "Shanti."

Care looks around quickly. "wha... what does that mean?" He said, thinking she was speaking some foreign language.

Shanti waited until he was looking back at her and then pointed to herself with a slender finger. "Shanti." She repeated again, hoping that he would understand.

Care stared at the older girl for a few seconds before catching on. "ohhhhhhhhhhh" he said. "that's you?". Care bit his lip and looked down for a few seconds and than up at Shanti. "Mine's Careagan" he said.

Shanti's smile grew and she nodded as he put the pieces together. She listened as he offered his name and then slowly repeated it. "Careagan..." Flushing slightly as she stumbled over the letters she looked back down at her book.

"Yeah well... " he started, hearing her stumble, "you can call me Care. Only my mom calls me that, but I guess Careagan is hard to say. " Care looked around at the other kids randomly.

Shanti mouthed the new name a few times before turning back to Care and nodding. "How old?" She asked, realizing that she was losing his attention.

Care looks back at Shanti, relaxing quite a bit. "oh, um... 14" Care said as he leans forward against the table and looks up at Shanti. "How old are you then?" He asked, wide eyed.
