A Strange Place, a Strange Dormmate

Queen made her way to the High School dormitory, suitcase in tow. She struggled a bit, as the suitcase was a little heavier than she was used to carrying while flying. To add to the struggle, she had just put on the school uniform. It looked as if it wouldn't fit before, but she was told it would accomodate itself to her body proportions — and it did. Yet, she still found the feeling of it strange, as she had never worn clothing before, minus a scarf and hat for Christmas photos.

Nevertheless, the Snowy Owl made her way to the room she was told she would be staying in. She was told she'd have a dormmate, but knew nothing about them. She'd seen many different creatures on the way here, so she had no idea what to expect.

She let her suitcase down in front of the room's door, resting on its handle. Her eyes stared at the doorknob with a slightly tilted head. "Draupnir normally opened doors for me..." She muttered to herself, staring at the doorknob while pondering as to how she'd open the door.

Queen felt the handle move swiftly out of nowhere, and reacted just fast enough to release herself to the air before the door swung open. She instinctively landed herself upon her suitcase, then looked at who had opened the door, whom she wagered to be her new dormmate.

It seemed to be human, though she hadn't seen many of them. It looked similar enough to her adoptive mother at home, anyhow.

She gave her tail feathers a ruffle before introducing herself. "Hello. My name is Queen."

Queen looked confused at the girl's question for a moment. Sometimes she forgets that she is, in fact, an owl.

Once realizing what was being referred to, she nodded. "Oh, yes. I became so shortly after adolescence due to magic."

She stared at the person in the doorway with curious eyes. Normally, she would comment on the act of not introducing yourself when someone else had, but she forgave it seeing as her being a talking owl could be quite shocking.

Queen felt a little uneasy as the woman stared at her. She instinctively stared back until finally something was said.

She titled her head as An held out a hand, presumably for her to shake as a greeting. Her adoptive mother had been trying to teach her to shake with her foot, but hadn't made too much progress. She began flapping her wings and approached Android, promptly grabbing the outstretched hand with her foot and shaking it awkwardly. "Nice to meet you, An."

Queen quickly released her grip as she felt frost starting to form from her foot, and hoped she let go before it transferred to An. She then rested back upon her suitcase.

As Queen rested on her suitcase once again, an awkward silence bloomed. The owl averted her gaze from the woman in front of her in any way possible; looking at the floor, the wall, down the hall, etc.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, An broke the silence. Queen's head immediately turned towards An as she replied, "Oh, yes. That would be kind of you."

Queen's eyes shone with happiness, and she'd be smiling if she could. However, the happiness soon dissipated when she remembered something. "I'm sorry! I forgot to tell you; I've been assigned as your dormmate."

The snowy owl awkwardly ruffled her feathers, as if embarrassed.
