Welcome to Gaia! ::

Still unsure about where things actually were on campus, Sulmanon managed to get lost on her way to the school gates. After a few wrong turns, and some unhelpful directions from some gnomes, she finally made her way to the front gates. Seeing that there was a ghoul there waiting for her, she wondered if getting lost had made her late, or if the other ghoul had just gotten there early.

Not wanting to be rude, or any later than she probably already was, she dashed up to the waiting ghoul.

"Hello, are you the "big sister" that was assigned to me?" She asked, not really sure of what the protocol of this type of situation was.

Returning the ghoul's smile, she reached out and shook her hand. "My name is Sulmanon, but you can try to come up with a nickname for me if you'd like." She had never really had a nickname, other than the one her parents had given her.

"As for questions, I don't know where to begin. Maybe I should start with: are there any rules about flying on campus?" She had not flown over or gotten an aerial view to get her bearings because she did not know. Then two more questions popped into her head.

"Also, are there any caves around here and is there somewhere I could learn to cook?"

Making a sour face, Sulmanon replied, "Sul is what my parents call me, usually when they're trying to make me do something I don't want to." Sul was not a nickname she wanted to be called by here. Too many annoying memories.

"If I can fly then I can probably learn the layout if this place easier." Sulmanon said, visibly loosening up. She was at home in the air as on the ground, so she was glad that option was open.

When Xiu mentioned that there may be caves in the forest, Sulmanon filed that bit of information away for later, when she knew the layout of the school better. It did not surprise her at all that not everyone shared her enthusiasm for caves. When the ghoul mentioned that she cooked though, Sulmanon excitedly asked "Would you teach me? My parents would not allow me to learn, but now that I'm out from under their claws..." She let the sentence trail off.

"No problem, you couldn't have known." Sulmanon commented back relaxing. Her parents were extremely overbearing.

Upon hearing that Xiu would teach her, Sulmanon grinned as wide as she could.When would be a good time for you to teach me, since today is already slated for showing me around campus?" She asked excitedly. When the baku continued on about parents, Sulmanon covered her mouth stifling a laugh. She doubted there were many parents as overbearing as hers and she was also planning on learning things they did not approve of. Like cooking, or about species other than dragons.

"Tomorrow sounds great, so I'll meet you for lunch. One question though, where?" Sulmanon agreed happily. On her first day here, she was already breaking one of her parent's restrictions by even talking with a non-dragon. Tomorrow she would break another by learning how to cook. As far as she was concerned, coming to Amityville was the best decision she had ever made.

When Sulmanon heard her follow up question, she smiled and said, "I'm a dragon, specifically a Welsh Dragon. As for what I can eat, my parents would prefer if I only eat meat, but I have found that I can eat practically any type of food, in moderation. I can handle veggies, but only in small amounts." She had managed to convince their hired help to sneak her dishes other than meat when she was younger, which was the only reason why she knew this at all.

"I'd be fine with going to your room, if I had a clue where that was." Sulmanon had left fairly sheltered life, so she did not really know that she should be intimidated by going to anyone's room. Her parents had not included that in her education.

At the mention of desserts, Sulmanon crossed her arms and tried to remember the deserts she'd had in the past. "My parents limited me to sweet meats, but I'd love to taste and learn how to make other desserts." Sulmanon replied. She was always curious, so, at the mention of treats she had never heard of, she was intrigued. She knew her parents had hidden all "non-dragon" stuff from her, but they could have at least let her know about different food types.

Making a mental note of the room number, Sulmanon then replied, "11am is fine, but which ones are the demon dorms? I barely managed to find the monster dorms." She knew that it would probably take a couple of days for her to remember where everything was.

At the ghoul's comment that she'd prepare samples, the tip Sulmanon's tail happily whipped back and forth. A chance to try not one, but several foods she had not tried? All the better! She was about to comment to this effect when she heard Xiu's remark on walking while talking, so the response to that took precedence.

"Okay, where to first?" she asked, motioning for Xiu to take the lead, before following up with, " Oh, and I can't wait to try your dessert samples." Tomorrow should be as interesting as today, Sulmanon thought to herself.
