Ah, recess. It was one of Leif's favorite periods, even if he was a little shy around the others. He usually ended up sitting on the side lines, watching the others or reading a book, but it was fun either way. Being outside was what mattered to him! There was quite a bit of people out this time, so Leif had once again found himself a nice spot on the sidelines to read a new book he'd gotten from the library... but he'd only made it about ten minutes until a caretaker came by to see if he'd be willing to show a new student around the play area.
He set his book aside, intending to come back to it, and then pushed himself up before looking at the new person in question... Oh wow, she was very... very bright. Then again, he was a particularly nice eye-searing shade of lime green himself, so he couldn't speak on the matter. "H-hi, I'm Leif." He smiled shyly and held out a clawed hand for her to shake. "U-um, did you just st-start...? H-here, at the Academy I mean..." He kept his gaze just slightly off to the side - maybe she wouldn't comment on his mutation.....

 Ruxandra held onto the caretaker, or rather the caretaker was attempting to holding onto her as the little spitfire pulled at every chance she got. She wanted to run, to go and play. Look, there were so many others her age playing! Oh how she wanted to run out and play with them... but no, the caretakers were insisting she needed to be shown around.
She was brought to a quiet place where another imp was sitting, reading a book. Unlike herself, who was as brightly colored as a flower, he was more of a contrasting shade with bright and dark greens. With a bright smile, she reached out and took his hand."Hi! I'm Ruxandra! I came here yesterday." She giggled cheerfully as the caretaker left, then noticed something peculiar about him. Pausing for a moment, she leaned in a little closer, looking in at his eyes, then pulled back and beamed brighter than the sun. "You have really pretty eyes! I like them! I like this place too, there's a lot of others here and lots to do!"

Oh no. She leaned in She stared at his eyes. He immediately averted his gaze, but kept the smile on his face. "I-it's nice to meet you, Ruxandra..." He chewed at his lip, bracing for the comments-- oh... He blinked, then looked back to her almost in disbelief. "Y-you do..? Thank you..." He smiled a little more, starting to relax a bit.
"I-I haven't been here very long e-either. Um.. But I know around the playground...! D-Do you want a t-t-tour?" He motioned to the area around them, then looked back to Rux.

A new wave of happiness came over Rux as her new found friend relaxed a little more, and she took both of his hands into hers. "Yes! Show me the playground! Show me everything!" She began to pull him away from his reclusive spot, her excitement starting to reach critical levels and she felt like if she was to stay still for a second longer. She needed to run, to stretch her legs as far as she could and to turn as wild as an animal.
"So you're new too? How long have you been here? Do you have roommates? How many? What are you learning? Is the food here always this good? Is this the only playground or are there others?"

Oh-- oh boy. She was another really active person, like Kadali. Well, he supposed he knew how to deal with that. Just... go along with whatever she wanted to do. Yep, that was it. He nodded a little, toddling along after her. "W-well, we can walk around the outside so you know where the boundaries are, first." He lightly tugged her off to the right, intending to show her where the border of their allowed play zone was.
"Oh, well, a couple of months, actually... So I guess not that new b-but, pretty n-new in comparison... t-to a lot of people." He nodded a little, soon feeling like he was rambling. That was probably not very interesting... "U-um, my d-dad adopted me so-- uh... that's why I'm here... umm... I live at home, w-with him." He glanced back at her to make sure she was paying attention to where they were going.
"This is the e-edge, uh, on this side. We're not supposed to go outside of here.... umm..." He paused, thinking, "Well... w-we learn a lot of stuff, but I really uh... I really like to garden, like my dad." He started off down the line, to the next edge. "Um.... And the f-food is really nice... Uh, the ch--chef is kind of scary though.... b-b-but dad says he's a nice person." Goodness, was he talking too much? She had asked a lot of questions, though... "And the--there are others... but today we're just at th--this one."

 Ruxandra happily let her new friend guide her into a direction, letting herself look around as he explained they were headed towards the boundaries. "Really? You've been here for a couple of months? You're not new at all!" Oh this was awesome! He must know where all the cool secret things are, where the school's hidden rooms and secret treasures all were. There was a little pang of homesick when Leif mentioned his father, and she thought of her own parents. "Your dad is here too? That's really cool, and lucky. Is it common for others to have one or both of their parents here?"
Now, she wasn't going to break the rules and go outside of where she wasn't supposed to be, she knew better than to do that, but she was still horribly curious to know what was out there. "What happens if you do go outside?" She was being led down the boundary edge, listening to Lief answer and coming up with a million more questions: What kind of food was there? What was his favorite? There were other yards? What were they like? Were the other schools like this one? Would they have a chance to go see these schools? She would really like to go see the school that her room mates were going to...
She looked like she was about to explode as she held back the flood of inquiries, instead asking only a couple. "What do you garden? Why does the chef scare you, is he mean?"
