 He looked around, watching the sprites for a few moments. There were more of them now. Though that was to be expected, considering where they were and what they were doing. He watched them float around and doing whatever. He noticed that none of them seemed to be glaring or watching him like the first two had done. That was a relief to him. Protective was understandable, especially when they had first started talking. It was good to hear that they wouldn't do anything while they were up here. "Well, that's good though. It just means you'll always have them looking out for you."
When Vira suddenly had them flying about, twisting and turning he felt a slight adrenaline rush in his veins. The feeling was invigorating. Now that he had gotten used to the fact that he was actuall flying with her, he could enjoy it a bit more. He didn't dare reach out toward the trees like she did though. He might be having fun now but that didn't mean he was going to let loose completely. Things like that might have to wait until his next flight, if he could muster up the courage. The thought of being as comfortable as she was up her made Hyunn think that perhaps the sky might even become a new flirting spot for the two of them. She certainly enjoyed being up here. If he became completely comfortable he imagined he might even twist and turn about like she did. He smiled when Vira winked, almost winking back as he started to reply. "Hopefully I'll be even better company by then. It's really easy to see why you enjoy it so much. If I could have done this years ago I would've taken the chance. Then again, I guess I would've had to met you now wouldn't I?" He finally winked after saying this, his smile widening just a little more.

 Robert wandered the hallways for a short trip until he came to the very first dorm room on the right. "Room number one. Well, let's see what the accommodations look like, shall we?" he said to Rena as the little demon fox perched on his shoulder.
The room seemed rather basic, but still better than those of the monastery. A TV, a computer with cable modem, two twin beds and a dresser, along with a door that opened to the bathroom.
Robert's stuff from Vermont was sitting on his bed, all of two bags and his bow. He could only presume his quiver and arrows were in one of the duffel bags. Set on the floor was Rena's fluffy pet bed and a small stand with the food and water bowls embedded into it, just right for Rena's height. Or at least her current height considering her transformed form was about the size of a horse.
"Looks like we lucked out Rena. We got this room all to ourselves." Robert spoke with a coy tone of voice as he began pulling out his clothing from his bags and putting them away in the drawers. As he did so, Rena decided to start bouncing on one of the beds, using it like a trampoline as the little demon fox did flips and spins until she slipped on her last landing and ended up with her legs going in all different directions. Robert simply chuckled.
"Looks like fun, but the bed would probably break with me doing that stuff." Robert jested before finishing up setting his room up. He made sure his bow, arrows and tinkering tools were all secured in the wall locker on his side of the room, which was by the window. "Alright. Next stop, Atlas's place to get the long, boring speech about this place and then we can go and have some fun." Robert spoke to Rena. The little fox churred and hopped up on Robert's head, curling up while her tails dangled behind her. "Sure, let people think I'm Davy Crockett." Robert teased as he headed back outside. Rena churred a bit before hopping off of Robert's head and walking beside him. "Goofball." Robert teased as he headed back towards the building where he got his beginner's packet.

 From all that had happened in just one days time, Atlas was already swamped with paper work and interviews. Many times already today from about 6:00a.m. this morning to even now, he's had to make phone calls and the like before even getting a breather. Finally he was able to rest, his head in his hands as he took his classes off. He was happy that Elly was well and so was Tristan and the others, but he didn't like the fact of the aftermath work he had to do. The secretaries were just as swamped, but they were also half robots as well.
"Sir, there is a new student here to see you, I will send him right in," a secretary told him and clicked off the phone console. Atlas sighed and waved his hand, which unlocked his door somehow and opened for the new student to come. "Please do come in, Robert," Atlas requested, knowing the students name only by over hearding the secretary call it earlier.

The kitsune entered when the headmaster summoned him. His little two-tailed companion had perched herself atop Robert's left shoulder. "Good day. I was told to come and see you after I put my stuff away. You must be Mr. Atlas Xavier I presume?" Robert asked in a calm and polite manner. He may be a prankster at heart, but he knew when to put aside his mischievous nature. "I am Robert and this here is my companion Rena. I just arrived from the monastery in Vermont." Robert explained, keeping a calm demeanor. Little Rena churred lightly before swishing her tails behind her, lightly napping on Robert's shoulder. Robert reached up and lightly scritched the top of the two-tailed fox's head. Robert's own single tail and fox ears were visible. Being only a young kitsune and a half-breed at that, Robert had not grown powerful enough to acquire a second tail, which would grant him a new power with it. However, it was vastly unknown even among demons what half-breeds were capable of.

Atlas started to actually doze off, though not so much when the actual student came in. "Yes, yes, hello there Robert! Actually that was my father, I am Atlas Shields, his son. But you may call me Master Atlas or Atlas if you wish. And hello there Rena, what a pretty girl you are. Yes, I am supposed to tell you about this school and its fascinating works and kinks. Estelle is a school that accepts many people and helps to control and inhance ones powers. I'm not sure if you heard or not, but this school was just under attack by someone who not only targeted a student, but also targeted me whilst in the process. I wonder if you could handle this? Many of the students in this school went up against it, including the girl that was targeted. Many of the teachers were very supportive as well. While at Estelle we also look to satisfy your powers' needs, in which I will schedule a meeting with your rightful teachers so they can test your levels. What is you gift by the way?" he asked, leaning his head on a hand and tilting his head, sipping something that probably smelled like tea.

Robert smirked a bit at the mention of an attack. "Wow, sounds like things get rather interesting here." he commented before scritching Rena's chin.
Robert looked back to Atlas. "As for my powers, the only one that has fully manifested itself is the power to turn myself and whoever, or whatever I am immediately touching invisible. However, it's not all I have. I am a half-breed demon of sorts. Half kitsune to be more specific. I'm about as strong and agile as an Olympic gold medalist if you need a comparison. Also, I can hear things most others can't, which is why I had the foresight to grab some earplugs. I'd imagine those intercoms are loud enough for the rest of your students. To me, that sound is amplified." Robert explained. "As for combat, I'm rather skilled with a bow, and being bored most days back at the monastery, I learned how to tinker specialty arrows. They can debilitate a person without causing grievous or potentially fatal injuries. Of course though, Rena has powers of her own." Robert explained.
At the sound of Robert's last phrase , Rena hopped off of his shoulder and onto the floor. She encased herself in a demonic flame that grew swiftly to the size of a horse around the little demon fox before vanishing. What was left was a much larger version of herself. Her fangs had become like that of a sabertooth tiger while demonic flames wrapped around her ankles. "In this form, Rena can fly as well as fight. Of course, since it would draw quite a bit of attention, I try not to rely on her as my means of transportation." Robert spoke before the flames enlarged once more, wrapping around Rena and shrunk down to nothing, leaving Rena back to her normal size.
"So yeah, I'd saw we can handle a bit of danger. Of course I've rarely tested myself in actual combat, but I suppose it's something to look forward to here." Robert spoke as a sort of musing.

 It was easy to allow his arms to hug her in return, listening as she spoke. There was? Huh, he must really not be observant then. Mmm... the forest..... Things would be calmer through there right? All the commotion had calmed down now that the darkness was gone. He wasn't allowed to think for long as he saw her rise up, his eyes closing as he deepened the kiss ever so slightly. Why had he waited this long? Well, no... I know the reasons. Coward. He chided himself, glad his patience had paid off considering.
After another moment or two, he pulled away slowly, pecking her lips lightly after he did, wanting to give just that one little kiss before fully moving back. "You know me, I have no problem traveling in the forest. Besides, I'm now intrigued by this shopping district." It hit him that they were both still in their bathing suits, chuckling a bit to himself and slapped away some thoughts he had. Oi... bad Tristan... "We may want to change first." He laughed, some water dripping down the side of his neck from his hair.

 For a brief moment, Ranka was concerned about how their hands were since he was looking at them so. Illogical concern, there was nothing with her hand. Should be no reason as to why he would disapprove. He liked her touch from what she could tell, probably for the same or at least similar reasons as to why she liked his touch. Ignoring it for the moment, she could smell the flowers as a breeze rolled past them, reminding her where they were headed.
Well, at least he was fine. That was good. As he took a breath to speak, this put a pause in her thoughts. Perhaps she shouldn't have thought that was it considering. Spoke too soon. "Yes, Seiji?" She said softly, turning her head more to look at him, tilting it ever so slightly. His question surprised her a little, that was what was bugging him so? She blinked, fun.... Was this fun? Hmm.... As he explained further, it allowed her to apply more meanings and sensations to her answer. Was this fun.... Ah, happy. That she knew well. "I am with you, of course I am happy. Since I don't know many things about such recreational things, I am content to spend time with you before I may have to run off. If these things equate to fun, then yes, I am having fun." She still wasn't sure if she fully understand the concept of fun beyond definitions, but she hoped her answer would soothe him. She was not happy to see him worried.

 Vira couldn't help but laugh a bit, holding her hands out, sprites flying to them before spinning away, vanishing from sight for the moment. They left them be, seeing that she had someone with her. It made her smile, whispering something to them in her mind before they left. They were the first friends that she ever had, as complicated as their relationship had made her life.
Shaking her head to herself, she took a deep breath of the air around them, clearing out her thoughts. They would do nothing but bring her down. And she didn't want it. Especially not right now. Ah.... there we go.... Bringing back up the bubbly persona, she did a flip of sorts, spinning so she faced him, the sun glinting off of the wings she fashioned for him. She grinned, giggling as she twirled again. "I'll wait to see how you are then!" She laughed at his wink, blushing a bit as she suddenly flew around him. "Probably not. Or maybe you would have. Just after more years hm? I do love the beach remember." She struck a rather cute pose, a bright smile on her lips as they flew past the top of one of the buildings. She lifted herself up and lightly landed upon a pole that seemed rather impossible to balance on. In reality she was using the wind to ensure she didn't fall, her golden eyes resting upon him. She just couldn't let go and be herself for long. Not unless it was Tristan. Even around Elly she couldn't. Or Ms. Kobiyashi.

 It might have been a stupid thing for him to worry about. Nontheless, he was thinking on it. What else could he do really? Even if she didn't understand or comprehend what it was to have fun, it didn't mean she couldn't have fun. The feeling could have been there subconciously, who knew? He was still thinking that in some way she would be able to have fun and be like every other person. That wasn't really a bad thing though. In some ways, it was simply him treating Ranka like everyone else.
Hearing her response, Seiji felt a little better. He knew she was probably having some difficulty understanding the whole concept. "Which is perfectly fine. Both you and Sheryl haven't exactly had a whole lot of free time with what you do and all." To hear that she was at least enjoying their time together was good. That made him feel better. "I'm assuming in time that might change. I was just kind of thinking that....this might have been a bit boring for you. You said you're always having to do something. I was just worried that doing nothing, or partly nothing, might have been a bit hard for you is all. I know it seems silly, but I guess that's all I was really thinking of."

To watch the sprites disppear from his sight, Hyunn had to wonder if they were going off to do other things or simply become invisible to his eyes. Either way, as long as he stayed afloat he didn't care. To know that something was keeping him up was a comforting thought. Even if he couldn't see the sprites, it did help him relax a bit. Had Vira always been like this while flying? Hyunn wondered about it, asking himself if she was always as carefree, even when she first discovered th ability to fly. Or had she been more timid like he'd been?
"I think we'll both have to wait and see hm?" He was at least having more confidence to talk openly, at least more open then before. He imagined the two of them flying through the sky and chatting on a regular basis. It could be a regular thing right? Well, only if she wanted it that way. He couldn'y very well fly on his own without her help. The mention of the beach made him think of how that adventure might have gone. If he'd met Vira on a beach somewhere. He couldn't tell, too many different options knowing she had the sprites with her. He'd just have to see how the trip went when they finally visited a beach. "Which is easy to love too. Everyone's been to a beach at least once, or wants to go anyway." His whole life had been filled with trips to the beach. Having not been to one in such a long time felt a bit odd. He might have to go by himself if Vira wasn't able to.

 Elly let go and looked down at both of their puddles and chuckled to herself a bit "Yeah I suppose we should unless you want to walk around like this the whole time," she suggested, teleporting her floaty over with the ducks on it. She chuckled to herself and took Tristans hand casually and walked with im up to their dorms where they departed and got dressed. For once Elly didn't want to go out in public with her normal outfit that made her look like some princess from another country. Instead, she put on a blue tank top and white shorts with white flipflops, her normal human look a bit weird for her since she wasn't used to not having a head piece or several pieces of clothing on. She put on some purfume to smell nice, but only a bit.
As she looked at herself in the mirror, she thought that she looked a bit good as a normal human. She smiled happily and grabbed some money and a bag and waited for Tristan. While she waited, she though of when Tristans birthday was and wondered if maybe she could sneak a present in today. Then there was the whole, 'what does he like?' questions she thought to herself. She'd have to pay close attention to what he took interest in at the shops. ""

((As I used to tell my soldiers, "Hydrate yourself!" 3nodding ))
After finishing up with Atlas Shields, Robert and Rena headed back outside. There was nothing to do until he got the schedule for his classes. There was still the PC and TV waiting for him at his room, but who wanted to be anti-social?
"Well, let's take a tour, see what the folks here are like. maybe meet a few cool people, or we might find some jerk who'll make a perfect victim for my pranks." Robert spoke with a little jestful chuckle. While he did promise to behave, he was still a trickster, and it was too much a part of his nature to not be able to pull something on someone.
Robert began his little tour with a trip into the rear courtyard. The place was rather large in scale and quite well decorated with the multitude of trees. "Well, this looks like a nice place to hang out." he spoke as he hopped up onto one of the lower, thicker branches of one tree and sat across the limb and against the tree like a recliner, his feet crossed. Rena sat at the base of the tree looking up at Robert, her two tails swishing about.

(( Haha! I did hydrate, and I thought it was enough but maybe it wasn't. )) Ranka nodded once, her thoughts returning to her sister. Her eyes glanced from the flowers up to the sky, checking on how many spirits there were there. Still more than she'd like to see. She really hoped she was alright. "I believe Sheryl understands this concept better than I do. She's often frittering about now before her injuries." She said softly, remembering how she'd run around and picked up some things from the library to read. She had also thought about taking up art. See how she did. Also claimed it would help them keep a close eye on their target considering she was one of the teachers.
She snapped out of her concerns for Sheryl, listening as he continued. It made her smile, he held such concern for her. Such signs of affection.... They almost felt alien. She knew the Elder's cared for their creations, but sometimes they weren't the best parents. "Yes, usually I am doing something. Does walking suddenly not count as doing something?" She asked, her brows furrowing a little, giving his hand a gentle squeeze.
