Home away from Home

Today was gonna be quite the interesting day, Elizabeth could already tell. She had just arrived here to the island of gifted individuals such as herself on that morning. The sky was bright, people were on there way for a little snack or maybe a coffee during their mid afternoon break. Maybe some were just students or graduates with free time, Elizabeth didn't know. This didn't stop the young Arlnest from being excited just to find and meet some new people. Oh, and she may be able to knock a few items off of her bucket list by the end of the day.

For now, Elizabeth's main priority was to observe her surroundings and learn the layout of her new home. Her red eyes were bright as she looked at a map, which was unsurprisingly floating in front of her. One arm was crossed while her left arm was tapping the map, trying to figure things out. She was somewhere near this shop of jewelry and small cafe....No, she doesn't see either... The white haired student looked up a bit confused, looking for a few landmarks. The lights dawned inside of her head and switches began to turn on. Alright, she was by a hotel an museum of some sorts. The cafe is down the street to the left. Perfect.

Feeling quite proud of herself, Elizabeth was just about ready to head down to the cafe for a nice jasmine tea when there the map was suddenly thrust into her face, along with the body of a wandering boy. Stumbling back after she let out a small groan of confusion, Elizabeth shook her while trying to keep her balance. Looking up at Amos and hearing his apology, she could see that he didn't really mean to do anything harmful. Though the map in his hand seemed to indicate he was in the same predicament that she was. She smoothed out her shirt and quickly folded her map, then gave the other new student a bow.

"Tis fine, sir, I understand how these things can happen. Just be sure to be more careful next time and to not walk and try to figure out the map at the same time."

This man seemed to be quite the character, that's for sure. He seemed to be focused on her eyes, almost instantaneously locking onto them, or at least that is what Elizabeth observed after regaining her composure. It was a bit flattering, really, for him to realize just how great to Liz's eyes were. Not that she needed a reminder, of course.

"I am Elizabeth Arlnest. And no, I'm not lost, dear."

She grabbed Amos's hand, giving him a nice firm handshake. She would have preferred just bowing, but it seemed a bit more appropriate to do this. If he was lost, then Amos was probably a new student as well, or at least really bad with directions. Either way, it'd be nice to have someone to talk and have tea with her.

"I was just about to head over to a little cafe if you wish to join me, sir."

Elizabeth nodded, smirking to herself. Good, letting her lead the way was the right answer, and she didn't even need to point it out to him at all. Very good, very good indeed. "Right this way then, sir." Turning on a heel, Elizabeth led the two of them toward the cafe. He seemed like a nice enough guy, could probably get to know him a bit before reaching their destination. Give her more ideas of what to talk about when sitting with him.

"So, Mr. Wilder, what brings you here to academy?"

Oh, near their destination. Perfect. As Amos answered the question, she turned her head around to face him. She expected to get question back, but not the answer. Why was this the only place that could help him? Maybe his powers were in a flux and couldn't be controlled very well, or maybe something darker.

"I'm here to learn, obviously. While my magic isn't combat based, I would still like to focus about learning combat strategies and hopefully learn some other magic. However, why did you give me such a vague answer? You can't just say this is the only place to help you and expect me to not ask further into this."

Stopping at the door of the cafe, she opened it up for Amos. At this point, she wasn't expecting to get a real answer back from boy. Or at least not yet, maybe later on if the two of them continued to talk and other activities that are age appropriate with each other.
