First Day of a New School

"These uniforms are cute!" said Lorencia, the bouncy bundle of energy that was skipping right beside Devias, her calmer cousin.

"They are. Looks good on you."

"You don't look bad yourself!"

Both of them were new to this place. Devias had been here before, making arrangements of their transfer from Sol, but this was Lorencia's first time in the academy. The person guiding them was more than happy to answer all her questions about the school, the points of interests she found while looking out the windows and of course anything relating to music such as the rooms, what instruments they had, etcetera. Devias was content listening, as he had read up much about the school, but the book he got the information from was about a few decades outdated. At least.

Stopping in front of a room, they were told to wait by the door while their guide spoke to the teacher. While Devias was waiting patiently, Lorencia was peeking in from the door frame, starry-eyed at all the people she'd be meeting. The guide returned and the two of them could hear the teacher telling her class to welcome two new students. The guide ushered them in, and immediately Lorencia exploded in greeting their new classmates.

"Hello, fellow classmates!" she said aloud with an energetic aura bursting forth. "I'm Lorencia Hel'Sarie! And this is my cousin!" she indicated with a thumb, grinning.

"My name's Devias Hel'Sarie," he said clearly. He wasn't as energetic as his younger cousin, but his smile was of genuine happiness that he was there.

"Hope we all get along!"
"Hope we all get along."

As if they had rehearsed this part of their introduction before, both of them bowed in unison, with Devias giving a small, reserved bow and Lorencia going all in, making a deep bow like a ballerina at the end of her routine. They were also in unison as they rose. "Nailed it," Lorencia whispered to Devias, quite proud that neither of them fumbled.

After introducing themselves, the teacher told them to take one of the empty seats. It was there that one of the students introduced themselves and kissed Lorencia's hand, to which she reacted with a chuckle. "Oh my, someone's already trying to charm me. Nice to meet you, Roland. Thank you for the warm welcome."

Devias turned a blind eye to the boy after acknowledging his introduction with a nod. They took two adjacent empty seats in the middle column. Class hadn't yet started it seemed, and so Lorencia, who was seated closer to Roland asked, "When did you start attending school here?"

"Oh really?" she mused aloud. A couple of people back home had said the same thing about her being a pleasant companion due to her bubbly personality, while some say it because of attraction. It had become somewhat of a game to guess which category people fell into.

It seemed Roland was nearly as new as they were, which would mean all three of them could be close friends if the older students didn't like them that much, Lorencia reasoned with herself.

While she was chatting with Roland, Devias took it upon himself to address the other person speaking to them. Adjusting his glasses, he replied, "Yes, we just officially transfered here today." Judging by... his(?) sleepy look, he missed their introduction. "My name is Devias Hel'Sarie, and this is my cousin, Lorencia Hel'Sarie. Pleasure to meet you," he said.

Devias reached out his hand to shake the monkey-looking person when Lorencia grabbed him by the elbow. "On one condition, Devias comes with us!" she told Roland. "I'm not going to leave his side, because he has to protect me, right, Dev?"

"You know you don't need me to do that," he said in reply, once again re-balancing his glasses that had come ajar from the sudden jerk.

"Come on, you're basically my older brother in this world, act like it!" She gave him a scolding look, and Devias could only sigh.

"Okay then. I won't let you. You've got tests to study for."

"Hey, I didn't mean--" She took a breath when she saw Devias' smile, "Very funny, but we're going, and I'm dragging you along with me!"

"If you say so."

When he was released, Devias sat back up straight and turned his attention to the monkey-person. "She can get a bit... eccentric."

"Oh yeah, Dev said something about a space station up there. I'd love to up there in zero gravity and just float around! But I guess getting there wouldn't be that easy." Ignoring the fact that maybe only those with the proper training could ever be allowed up there. Although, all she would really need is to visit the place once, and she can go back and forth whenever she wanted.

Eying the fireball floating around Roland, Lorencia raised a finger to steal it away from him, but Devias was quick to put her hand down, saying, "Don't. You'll set this classroom ablaze." She stuck her tongue out at him but conceded without much resistance.

Devias turned back to the other student to answer his queries. "We come from Sol, a floating archipelago in the Void. It's not the best place for outsiders to stay in for an extended amount of time however. It takes some getting used to."
