Echo hummed happily as she entered the train, happy that she was inside and far away from any type of rain. Seeing as they were in Russia, she wondered if the water droplets would turn to ice and begin to hail on their way to the academy, and she wondered briefly if her teammate really knew what she was doing.
Shrugging however, and looking back at said teammate she happily said, "And here we are, Dragon Cabin!" Her pupils turned to stars as she looked around the room with awe, and she exhaled, "Bunk beds. We've got bunk beds!"
She happily ran to the first on the left and placed her luggage on top of it, effectively calling that particular bed as her own. She wondered about the usage of the beds and how long the train ride was to their destination and if it'd take all night.
Shrugging, Echo looked back and smiled toward Tempest. "Have you ever been in anything so luxurious?"

Tempest Desjardins || Elemental Aura || Lightning & rain || Team DragonCompany: Echolesia || Mood: Relaxed. || Location: Dragon Cabin.  Rarely had she had the chance to ride on a train, so that seemed like a privilege. She placed her luggage near the fold-down table, staring up at the bunk waiting to be positioned above Echo's. The cabin was small, and Tempest found herself wondering just how comfortable living with three other people in it could be, but she figured if things got to be too crowded she could always step out. Or sleep. Sleeping seemed like it could have been the better option of the two; as long as she was sure she wouldn't fall off the bunk. What a great impression that would be on her teammates. Reaching up to the bunk, she uttered an apology under her breath as she clicked it into place. She lifted her backpack onto the foot of her chosen bunk, then slid her other luggage to the wall under the table. She shook her head in response to Echo, her arms crossed despite the smile on her lips. "Not really. My family doesn't travel much." Staring out the window, she furrowed her brows before speaking again. "Did they mention how long the ride will be?" information. Eye of the storm:

Echo smiled broadly as she watched the girl move about the cabin as if she were tiptoeing. She quickly waved off the apology Tempest whispered as the girl set her things on the top bunk above Echo's head. "Do you need a boost," she asked happily, aware the girl probably wouldn't be any hassle to lift with her strength.
After looking around even more, and turning on a vent near the ceiling so the warm cabin can get some good air circulation. Jumping off the grate of the bed near the vent, she turned and shook her head.
"I have no idea, I don't think they ever said. I hope it's not long!" She sighed and bowed her head. "So what made you want to travel all the way out here to go to school?"

Tempest Desjardins || Elemental Aura || Lightning & rain || Team DragonCompany: Echolesia || Mood: Relaxed. || Location: Dragon Cabin. "Mm.. Would you mind?" Tempest asked, staring up at her bunk. Climbing up would be relatively easy, albeit a bit damaging to the image she had made of herself. She nodded in acknowledgment, a hand lifting to sweep a lock of teal behind her ear. Perhaps, with the time they may or may not have had, she could go to explore the train. Snapping her attention back to Echo, she twiddled her thumbs in thought, considering the question and thinking through her answer. "I'd never heard of a school like this before I got my invitation. I wasn't really sure if I should go or not but.. It's kind of a once-in-a-lifetime experience, isn't it? So, I figured I might as well go." She chewed her bottom lip, aware of how lame her answer must have sounded. "What about you?"information. Eye of the storm: sorry about the wait!!

Echo laughed, her ears twitching back and forth suddenly, and bent down slightly. She didn't know which was better, for her to grab the girl's legs and lift or simply allow her to step into a clasped palm and boost her.
"Just put your foot in my hands and I'll boost you up," she said happily. She knew she didn't need much strength seeing as the girl was so tiny already, and she was sure without a doubt that in the future she'd love to throw the girl around to do flips if she wanted to.
Echo hummed in agreement to her answer. Tempest was right, this really was a once in a lifetime opportunity. She didn't know what she would have done, or how much she would have hated herself, if she didn't try with all her might to get to Moscow just to go to the academy.
"I agree with that completely! Well," she scratched the back of her ears nervously and continued, "I already knew what I was as a child, but I never understood why speaking to animals and having this strength could help. I came partially because of something that happened the night I got my letter, but also because I wanted to meet others like me. I thought this was a gift, ya know? And if I get stronger at Tokubetsu, then when I go back home I can protect people even better." Echo laughed. "Well, that's the plan anyways."

. . .Ｌｙｒｉｑｕｅ ✫ Ｐｏｄｔｒａｌ. . . Who: Two young women, as far as I can tell. || Where: Dragon Cabin || Ambiance: Nightly Rain || Profile ☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈ ┈┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ Lyrique noiselessly wandered through the corridors of the connecting cabins as her dull, amber orbs kept to the floor directly in front of her. The ivorette kept a single hand pressed to the wall, allowing her fingertips to graze over the minute ridges of the walls themselves such as the metallic bordering and faint linings of the wallpaper, while the other held firmly onto her single piece of luggage. With each new texture, she kept her mental counter in time with her footfalls and took a mental note of which texture fell upon that specific number. '...23, 24, 25..'
As focused as she was however, the faint patter of rain against the passing windows did steal away her attention, if not for a moment. "Oh." She paused a moment, taking in the sudden dull clacking of the wheels slowly beginning to roll along the tracks. It seemed she had made it inside just in time, though the rain would surely be a distraction. "Hopefully the storm will pass quickly." she uttered in her usual gentle monotone. Nightly storms were something she took delight in usually, though after kindly dismissing one of the train tenants of their assistance and arriving in unfamiliar territory, the quiet drone of rain would surely muddle her sense of direction after a while, though she was thankful that her destination was nearby.
With a sudden indentation found, presumably the door, and the muffled voices heard from behind it, Lyrique had found her confirmation but took a moment before entering. She lifted her free hand from the door and carefully smoothed the front of her overcoat before brushing her short white locks behind her ear. If she was going to meet her team mates, she at least wanted to make a decent impression with them. Just by the sounds of their voices, she felt the breath of anticipation rise up her spine; they sounded kind, one of them quite cheerful, which was a plus in her book. Introductions would go swimmingly if her assumptions of them by their voices were correct, though she enjoyed introductions regardless. She then hooked her fingers into the sliding door handle before making her entrance.
"Pardon me," The snow-haired girl stood at the door, her hands and luggage now neatly folded in front of her. "I was directed here in the hopes of finding the Dragon Cabin. Would it be safe to say that I found the correct one?" Her gilded stare remained level with the floor but the faint remnants of a smile now tugged at her lips.┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ┈┈┈┈┈━═ ☆. . .I've written songs. . .

Tempest Desjardins || Elemental Aura || Lightning & rain || Team DragonCompany: Echolesia && another teammate(?) || Mood: Relaxed. || Location: Dragon Cabin. A moment of panic passed over her as she debated on whether she should take her shoes off or not. The bottoms of her shoes were certainly not clean enough to step into someone's boost, but to her it didn't seem as though they were at a stage in their relationship where she could wear just her socks. Fully aware of how she was making the other wait, she made the rash decision to loosen her laces and place her boots next to her luggage. Quickly Tempest stepped into the basket of the girl's hands, using the height as leverage to climb up onto the bunk. She slid back on the mattress, criss-crossing her legs. "That... seems like a solid plan." Tempest said, splaying her fingers by her sides on the mattress. She found herself wondering just what had happened the night she had received her letter, but couldn't bring herself to ask. After all, if she wanted her to know, she would have told, wouldn't she? "You said you can talk to animals?" She tilted her head, teal waves tumbling over her shoulder. "That's amazing." As the door to the cabin opened, her attention turned to the person standing in the doorframe. She took a moment to survey the other (she looked rather young- at least, to her) then nodded after processing that she had asked a question. She looked down at Echo for a moment, then back to the stranger. "Yeah, this is Dragon Cabin. Come on in." information. Eye of the storm:

❝"~Be kind to all, and they just may be kind to you~"❞ ╔══════════════════════════╗
Echo was correct in her assumption: the girl was light as air as she boosted her with little effort onto her bunk bed. She was happy the girl decided to take off her boots, Echo was slightly smiling as she watched Tempest's face resort to panic before she decided to take them off, and she was happier that the young girl accepted her help. Things would go so smoothly if that were the case in the future.
Grey slitted orbs looked down to her feet for a moment, her smile becoming slim as she thought of that night. She was glad Tempest chose against asking her about it, but she felt as if she were lying to the girl with her silence. But if she told her now, there could be a chance of unrest amongst them, and she very much did not want that. Maybe if she would wait, then their bond would be strong enough for Tempest to look over it...
"Oh yeah," she said as she quickly grabbed her bag and unzipped it fully. "Sorry about that," she said into the bag.
A being bounded out of the bag and quickly shook its giant head. It was larger than that of a cat, but it was obvious the animal should not be a domestic one.
"Tempest," Echo said happily, stretching out her arm up toward her, "meet Maahes. Maahes," she then said, swooping her arm down and back up again toward the feline, "meet Tempest. He's my pet, familiar, whichever you'd want to call him. Though he really hates being called a pet," she said, scratching behind her ear and laughing apologetically toward the cub that was staring baby blue daggers at her.
Her next words were cut off, and Maahes began sniffing around the room now that he was finally let loose of the confines of the bag, as the door to their cabin suddenly opened and in walked a very small girl. She was shorter than most anyone Echo had seen in her life, and her eyes were trained on the floor before her. At first she thought the girl was simply looking at Maahes, but they did not move to track the lion cub across the floor as he jumped swiftly up to meet Tempest.
"Yes!" she said, getting off her bed and going toward the girl. "This is Dragon Cabin, like our teammate Tempest has said. It's very nice to meet you-" she paused as she extended her hand to the girl, hoping she would soon tell them her name.

"Wonderful." Another little grin lit up her face, though the emotion in her tone remained at a minimum. Her free hand then slid behind her as she stepped inside, sliding the door closed behind; for being so young, the girl moved with purpose and an undeniable eloquence that felt a bit mature for her small stature. With her unmoving stare, Lyrique took a mental note of a certain thing romping about across the floor as she entered before quietly offering her hand out. Echo and Tempest, what interesting names, and still one more to discover. She could only imagine where they came from, or even what brought them here to this very train. The mere thought of it piqued the girl's curiousity, though she knew she would have to get her own personal formalities out of the way.
"I am Lyrique Podtral, thank you for the kind greeting. Unfortunately, I will have to apologize in advance for bringing this inconvenience upon my new team mates.." Her small voiced trailed off for a moment, as if debating whether or not to carry on with her statement. "I do not have the best sight, and I would rather not bump into your little friend by accident, so you may have to give me a moment to properly greet you two." Her smile's brightness and genuinity had faded as she spoke, though she made it a point to keep it painted on her face to refrain from concerning her new comrades. It was usually a chore to explain her circumstances, as it was even moreso to deal with those who were naturally so helpful and quick to meet her every beck and call, including when such calls were silent. She couldn't very well blame them, though.
Regardless, she wanted to keep the opportunity for them to offer help to a minimum. "The pleasure is mine. The whole team aspect this early in the scheme of things is interesting, don't you think?"

Tempest Desjardins || Elemental Aura || Lightning & rain || Team DragonCompany: Echolesia && Lyrique || Mood: Relaxed. || Location: Dragon Cabin. Leaning just slightly forward to see over the edge of the bunk, Tempest's eyes widened a fraction as the creature was pulled from the bag. Was that.. even allowed? What was it? She found herself remembering her own pet, who was nestled in a cat carrier with the rest of her luggage. It would have been a bit cramped if she took him out, she thought, and he had food in there. Water, on the other hand.. Maybe leaving him there should be reconsidered. "Maahes..." She repeated the name, foreign on her tongue, under her breath. "He's cute, but- what is he?" There was no nicer way to put it, as far as she knew, and she figured that learning the species was somewhat important. If it turned out to be something dangerous... Nodding in understanding as Lyrique finished her message, she glanced down at Echo again. "It's nice to meet you. Are you.. going to need help getting around?" She had little experience with the blind, and while the cabin was small- it still seemed best to ask. Though, she did seem to have little trouble getting to the cabin. "Yeah, the team thing is kinda.. strange. Maybe it's so we have travelling buddies?" A crease formed between her brows. A weak explanation, one that had probably been countered while they were out in the station, but she couldn't think of much else. After all, fighting was out of the question, right? information.

Echo smiled brilliantly as her hand was grasped lightly in the small girl's. Her grey orbs followed the girl's movements and she frowned with wonderance. She seemed so young but she was still so graceful. Echo wondered for a moment if she was an animal like her and she was mixed with some type of feline.
Lyrique, Echo thought, her head cocking to the side as she made a mental note to remember it. Names always came easy for her but she still wished to not have any problems in the future when she tried to recollect the girl's name. She frowned slightly as the girl talked of an inconvenience and that of her eye sight. Quickly she smiled and patted the girl's shoulder.
"You shook my hand well enough. It's not inconvenience at all, little one! And Maahes won't hurt a fly," she finished as she eyed the cub that was not beginning to playfully growl, and raised a massive paw and swatted her sleeve, next to Tempest to get her to pet him. "He's quick on his paws, so don't worry about him, Lyrie."
Turning to Tempest, Echo replied, for the benefit of both her teammates now, happily, "He's a lion cub. I don't really know what sub species. He sorta appeared one night," she laughed, wondering if she should mention that she could actually communicate with him. "I like that idea, Tempest! Traveling buddies is a must, especially when we don't know how long this ride is for. It's strange they didn't tell us that bit of information..."

Lyrique cocked her head slightly in hesitation of Tempest's apparent concern. The doubt in the young woman's tone prompted her smile to straighten into a thin line, however the cheerier of the two gradually restored her confidence with a single string of words. "If you could offer your patience while I get accustomed to the space, then you have no need to fear. Despite the obvious, I have been told that I am fairly resilient." She then pressed her index finger against her cheek. "And pretty durable, should I bump into anything on one of my off days, but I appreciate the concern." Her eyes crinkled at her further attempt of humor, a humor that only she could probably only enjoy to its fullest. Or lack thereof.
As she carefully assessed the distance between the two girl's, their voices, and of herself, she also took note of the muffled creaking of what sounded to be beds. One above in the direction of Tempest and pet, and the other adjacent, but lower. 'Bunk beds, hm? Perhaps the ride will be longer than we thought..' Each step she took felt purposeful and calculated, unlike the wavering confidence of one who for example, had been blindfolded and stumbled about; for such a small space, it expectantly didn't take very long for her to maneuver her way between the girls and nestle her things in the bunk beneath Tempest. Though she'd never admit it, she was almost thankful for having the last of their team so tardy, climbing the beds every day would've been a pain.
It was then that she realized what Echo had said, or rather had called her. "Lyrie.." The young teen whispered, as if testing the peculiar name out against her own vocal chords. Just met, and already with the cute nicknames...she honestly wasn't sure how to react. The late uptake of her realization caused the sudden warmth of acceptance to swell in her breast, so much so that she pressed a hand over her heart as if to stifle the feeling. "Maahes." she uttered. "The Egyptian god of war and protection, Maahes? Clever." Her only other attempt in returning such subtle affections was to recall whatever relative information she stumbled upon in her past readings, though her tone made her actual interest seem ingenuine. "If we are free to roam the train and openly interact with others throughout the ride, perhaps having us specific few in our own cabins could mean we are a literal team. In terms of an academy, we must have our own mentor for each team. I wonder if they base the selections off of our abilities.."
