One does not know their destiny,
Nor the sacrifice it takes.
But when a purpose is revealed,
A new person it makes.

Now bound by life and name
Though weight is all but the same.
Life brings the weight of expectation.
Name brings the weight of lamentation.








Seems I have stumbled upon a most unlikely duo. Reshwyn looked from one to the other as she took in the pair before her. Thankfully she had caught their names, or this might be quite an awkward reintroduction. The Francis boy looked quite simple yet well kept enough that he wouldn't stand out in such a prestigious academy. Curious as well, which is always a lovely quality. The girl, Snow, seemed a little less kept together, though. Fashionable, and quite cute, she did keep good care of herself, but it seemed from Reshwyn's short encounter so far that she was already quite skidish. Run away nerves from being in this much people? Couldn't be that she had something to hide? Nah, that would only be paranoia talking. Her words have not betrayed her as of yet. No, Reshwyn cut her thoughts short before they ran away from her too much. She was much more inclined to allow Doerin to air on the cautious side while she greets new friends with compassion. Instead, her face turned to one of amusement, once more looking on as Snow frantically tried to get her bird under control. But... the bird chittered no longer. It had become a solemn gargoyle on the girls shoulder with it's gaze transfixed on Doerin. Now this did cause confusion and curiosity to rise in both parties. Doerin seemed to sense no magic or malice in the small bird, but was the reaction from simply the form Doerin was in, or the true nature of the small beast?

Before those questions could be answered, though, Francis had chimed in, the bird had taken it's swift leave, and Snow had been brought back to the conversation. It seemed everyone was in accordance with Reshwyn taking the lead, so she saw no reason to dawdle any longer. "Well then, I think we should take our leave! We shouldn't leave it untreated any longer." Reshwyn looked between the two, her warm smile trying to calm any nerves as she nodded to Francis, then Snow. Turning on her heel, she took the last nibble of her biscuit, returned her hand to the cozy confines of the fluffy fox tail, and strode slowly off toward the main school building.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thank goodness that I had my school tour but a few hours prior. I might have just been in the same position as you two." Reshwyn's voice trailed just over her right shoulder, playing through the fur that sat there. She made her way down the hallway only a couple strides before the other two, just off to their left as she could keep them close. "I can see how the academy can get confusing quickly, though it is quite spectacular as well, in it's own right." Her eyes scanned the walls up and over the vaulted ceilings. Quite beautiful workmanship the royals of Aeston commissioned for their prestigious academy. It filled Reshwyn with joy and wonder that confirmed that this was the right choice of action for her. There was so much giddy anticipation for her to start classes, she could barely hold it in. In fact, in that moment her step picked up a beat, bouncing slightly into a quick pirouette that sent her skirt swirling about her, and yet the fox masterfully clung to her shoulders without fail. Finishing a full spin, Reshwyn added one more step to turn herself to face the two trailing her before slowing down a touch for them to cover the added distance. A soft giggle slipped forth, just as melodic as her own voice, before she looked at the two with an almost childish smile. "I am quite excited to start classes, and find out what kind of wondrous minds teach here. Have you two met any of the teachers yet? Or better yet, have already had classes?"

                                      We Arm ourselves with the Wrongs we've done
                                      Name them off one by one

                                      Let's go to ⓌⒶⓇ
                                      The introduction of a new arrival seemed to bring… mixed signals all around Felix. On one hand a newcomer was there to guide them to the infirmary as to mend the body of the first individual. On the other hand, it seemed this newcomers presence triggered something within Snow’s bird like companion, so much so as to dig talons into its perch of a person. Had these two met before, or was this just an animalistic instinct to potential danger? Numerous concepts and reasonings as to Nammii reacting so flowed through his ever changing mind, but his outward expression was calm, serene, and mildly cheery. Eventually, the raven of Snow took flight, departing from the trio of students and leaving Snow rather alone. Felix’s eyes fixated on her facial expressions, it seemed she wasn’t fond of being apart from her feathery friend. ”Aye.. I’m sure yer bird friend will be back soon enough Snow.” Felix muttered, stuffing his hands into his pockets. It was best for him after all, one less animal to break through his ploy of disguise.

                                      Nodding in agreement with Reshwyn’s words, it was definitely a good idea to start making their way towards the infirmary. He watched as the two girls made the trek forth, Felix taking up the rear just slightly staggered back behind Snow, but not too far back. He didn’t like the idea of one of them being behind him right now..

                                      With every settled Score
                                      I thought that fighting with meant fighting for
                                      But you
                                      Ⓣⓤⓡⓝ it around
                                      Eventually, the trio made their destination of the academy, Felix still tagging behind just ever so slightly from Snow’s own pace. Reshwyn was… definitely an upbeat looking individual, her skip and pep like steps a stark contrast to his own treading. His hands were securely stuffed into his pockets, as his head turned to and fro, inspecting the halls. ”Oi, this place sure is massive. Nuthin’ like what we got back home that’s for true.” Though his words were a lie, he figured such banter was common for someone like him.. Or at least his disguise. The voice of their guide resonated with the halls, a small smirk across Felix’s face. ”Quite. I wouldn’t a known where to go without yah help.” Again, a sheer lie from him. He’d stalked the halls on his first admittance day as a rat. People were less inclined to pick up a rat. In his journey though, he’d failed to locate the infirmary though, plus.. Reading wasn’t his strong point.

                                      Their guide spoke about the school being spectacular, to which Felix only nodded. It was nice to be in a place where he could feel… relatively safe. He still didn’t trust anyone around him, but he wasn’t constantly having to watch his actions to the T. He could be.. Free. Unrestrained. Shaking his head again, he brought on a frown to Reshwyn’s questions. ”I haven’t had tha pleasures to meet tha faculty Imma fraid.” Boy, these lies were just flowing off the tongue! Of course he’d stalked some of the faculty, at least from the shadows and the crevices in the walls. He’d been a busy busy boy lately. His eyes turned to Snow, a mild concern for her mental health.. So some reason, flashing through his conscious. ”Aye.. Snow. How yah holding up? Still thinking of your birdie friend?” For once, the words that flowed from his lips were actually genuine and full of truth.

I am here: Hallways to the nurse
With: "Francis", Reshwyn


"One day, I'll be able to brave the world"




Snow stared mournfully at Nammii's retreating figure, sad at the loss of her ally, but understanding Nammii's well reasoned fear of the fox companion the other girl had. Her expression wasn't missed by Francis, who told her that Nammii would be back soon enough. She gave him a small smile before speaking, "Thank you. She's scared of foxes, so I'm not surprised she flew away." Snow gave one last glance towards where Nammii had flown off to, before returning her attention to the girl, who said it was time to take their leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the trio traversed the hallways of the academy, Snow couldn't help but stare in awe at the architecture. Most of her life had been spent in her parents' home, or in the woods, so she wasn't quite used to such extravagance. Whoever had built the school had done so lovingly. The silence was broken by the elegant girl speaking, saying that she had taken a tour earlier and had remembered where everything was. Snow had taken the tour when she had first arrived, but had spent most of the time admiring the architecture, and that plus the sheer size of the school had meant she had forgotten where most of the things were.

Francis responded to the girl, saying that the place was massive, and unlike anything he had back home. Snow nodded in agreement, but didn't add any words until he said that he wouldn't have known where to go without the girl's help.
"Yes, th-thank you so much!" Snow said, genuinely thankful for the girl's help. Having a nurse look at her albeit small wounds would probably be better than cleaning them herself. And maybe she could make friends out of these two people? The whole goal of going to the anxiety-inducing fall festival was to try and make friends, and she sincerely hoped that she would succeed by the end of it, so that her anxiety wouldn't have been in vain.

When the elegant girl mentioned meeting faculty members, the man from earlier, Professor Solomon. Her face flushed for a moment at remembering her mistake with his name, calling him Professor Count Solomon when Count was his title, not his name.
"I um, met Professor Solomon earlier. He's the uh, faculty sponsor of the um, Archaeology Club. He was very, um, interesting. He showed me some artifacts the archaeology club had gathered," Snow said, thinking of the amazing shell key he had shown her.

The group walked in silence for a little longer, before Francis surprised Snow by asking how she was holding up. For a moment she thought he was talking about her knees, which stung but in an easy to ignore way, but instead he asked about Nammii. Snow blinked at him for a moment, her mouth opened in a small "o", surprised that he would ask about that. The people that Snow would interact with during her time in the woods didn't understand her attachment to the bird, and regarded her as a dumb animal.
"Oh, uh, a little bit," she got out after a moment. Snow wasn't entirely sure how much she should tell him--that Nammii was a supportive figure for her, and helped curb some of her anxieties? She wasn't sure if that would seem weird. Would he and the other girl judge her for essentially having an emotional support bird? Perhaps a watered down version of the truth would be appropriate.

"She and I aren't, uh, really apart very often, so it's kind of, um, weird to be without her," It was mostly true. Even if Nammii wasn't within eyesight, she was always within earshot. Snow wasn't one to constrict Nammii, and let the bird roam as it saw fit. It just happened to roam fairly close to Snow. And being away from Nammii was definitely weird. The bird was an important support for Snow, and being without that support felt strange. Although, Snow certainly didn't need Nammii's support now as much as she did outside in the throngs of people.

A dainty hand absent mindedly twirled a long strand of ice blue hair that fell free over Reshwyn's shoulder. The first responces had met her back thus warrenting no concern, but now that her sapphire eyes fell upon the boy, she was met with something Reshwyn didn't think would show it's face quite so soon. Though, I guess it is in the human nature to stretch the truth at times, so why should I be so surprised? As the boy's mouth fought his words, as if trying its best to force them back into his mouth, Reshwyn did her best to keep that childlike smile plastered on her face. Real question is why and how much... but I don't have the pieces to determine anything more so now is not the time. The princess had become quite use to people lying to her face back home as the court can be fraught with falsities. But that is just the way of life there. Outside the court it is hard to judge a person on their lies as Reshwyn's ability has no real meter, but more of just black and white. Many a time she tried to train it to give her more variety to help her judge sevarity, but it was to no avail. One day...

"Archaeology Club? Hmmm." Attention had been shifted as Reshwyn almost missed Snow's response completely. This was interesting indeed! "I do quite like learning about history, and what better way than out of the wonderful objects and structures left behind! Oh, that is wonderful news." Reshwyn backpedaled a bit more, her gaze returning to the ceiling in thought. "Tea Club... Archaeology Club..." she mused to herself outloud before returning a warm smile to the two, hopping into another 180 turn and resuming their way toward the nurse.

Reshwyn's pace had slowed a little, just about walking beside the two instead of leading like she had been. Though still slightly cautious of new people, the company had been nice, especially being of similar age. Every now and then she would look over to the two with a smile, making sure they were still with her, to guide, and general keeping an eye on. To her relief, Reshwyn happened to catch Francis' next statement, which came with all due sincerity. This did put Reshwyn much more at ease knowing that at least he didn't mean any harm. Everyone has a little something to hide, so for now she can be naught but cautious. The time will come as it always does. Who knows, maybe he is actually faculty! But Snow, now she seemed genuinly shy and anxious. Poor girl seemed to almost be holding up well enough, but there was a little here and there that let it slip. Might have been Reshwyn's own insecurities which she has fought with over the years that helped her catch Snow's, but her own position just didn't allow much for such feelings. "I actually understand that quite well." She stroked the beautiful white fur that encircled her neck, nodding. "Doerin here has always been at my side when I needed her." Granted their bond was a little stronger than most seeing as they were in a literal contract, but Reshwyn never really looked at it as such. Doerin was her friend, her closest confidaunt, the one person she could trust over all. Looking back at Snow with slight concern on her face, she nodded her head in apology, all be it a bit late. "I am truely sorry that Doerin was the one to scare your little one. I am sure she will return soon, though."

                                      Name them off one by one

                                      Let's go to ⓌⒶⓇ
                                      A fear of foxes eh? This kind of information stuck out like a sore thumb for Felix. To use one’s own fears against them often was a ploy he used back home. It was how he survived, how he managed to make a living. As the idea of how to use such knowledge to his advantage swirled around in his head, Felix had to shake the thoughts. He wasn’t going to actually need that here… right? Nobody was out to get him like home.. Right? He could be safe, he could be free here. The students were all here to learn, and he was a student after all. Letting his mind drop the phobia for now, he tuned into the rest of their conversation. They began speaking about classes, to which he just remained silent. It wasn’t that he couldn’t remember what classes he’d signed up for, it was that he wanted to know what they were attending the Academy for. To know your target, your adversary was a key component to survival after all, and Felix wasn’t about to give up his defenses so easily.

                                      He’d inquired about Nammii, asking solely for Snow’s comfort and for no benefit of his own accord. It was a chance to reach out and be nice for once. To care about someone other than himself. Letting his words express the thoughts on it, he was met with a rather surprised look from Snow. She thought it was nice for him to ask it seemed. ”Aye, some people don’t give animals and beasts credit where they deserve it. Dey have the smarts that can outshine some people after all.” Speaking mostly about himself in this analogy, he included animals as well since they were what inspired him often on how to live and thrive. ”I’ve got a few animals back home I sure miss, und I’m sure they miss me as well.” He spoke, trying to make a bridge point for them to bond. Sadly with it being a complete lie, Felix knew all too well nobody cared about his existence. Nobody back home was worried about him. He was alone after all. ”I’m hoping for me Ma und Pa to come visit in a few months eventually.” As the lie slipped from his mouth, he wondered if anyone actually even KNEW he was gone..

                                      With every settled Score
                                      I thought that fighting with meant fighting for
                                      But you
                                      Ⓣⓤⓡⓝ it around
                                      Reshwyn eventually chimed in, speaking on behalf of the fur around her neck, referring to it as Doerin. What a strange group of people he had met. Each of them traveled with some kind of animal companion.. He wondered what it was like to have someone to journey with. Felix began to wonder how long he could be in this persona before having to give it up. Would he be able to make friends out of these strangers? Removing such a thought from his head, he knew better than to pursue such a thing with others. He was going to be a loner, just like he was before arriving. He would graduate the academy on his own, and leave on his own. That was how things were gonna go. ”Well, I hope you can rely on us to be here for yah until she comes back Snow.” The lie came out, but a small desperation of wanting it to be true lingered in the back of his throat. Secretly he wanted friends after all. ”I hope yah can eventually think of me as a friend.” Though he said those words, what the lie inside really led to was You’ll never see me again.

                                      Looking up from their travels, Francis’s eyes settled on the plus sign hanging before a door. ”Oi, I best believe that would be the nurse’s office, or my name ain’t Francis.” He proudly put a thumb to his chest, a smile across his face at this statement. A dirty lie, as his name definitely wasn’t Francis. Were they any the wiser though? Probably not. ”Did you want us to wait here for yah Snow? Or did you wanna be with the nurse by yourself?” His inquiry was definitely a genuine one, as he often liked to watch procedures done, albeit even simple ones. The more knowledge he knew on how to care for himself in the future, the better the outcome would be of his survival.
