Making New Friends! [Claire]

Coatzin was taking a small walk around the campus’ courtyard, she didn’t had anything else to do at the moment and she decided to just chill for a bit. Usually she would fly instead of walking, but right now she just wanted to explore a bit and maybe meet a couple of students like her, and since she had noticed that guys with the ability of flight were pretty rare around here it was obvious that this would prove to be quite a challenge if she just decided to open her wings and start flying around the academy instead.

The sun landed gently on her colorful feathers, making them appear like if they were somehow glowing, the light that was loosely reflected on them mixed with her movements giving out a small effect that tricked the eyes to think that the colors were changing, even if they weren’t at all. Her yellow viper eyes looked around her carefully, taking quick notice of all the students around her. Most of them were with their own friends, talking or studying, and even with her friendly behavior she didn’t felt secure enough to just walk towards one of those groups of students and say hi.

It was then when she noticed a girl with dark brown hair walking alone as well. She immediately started to walk towards her, the portion of her tail that wasn’t curled around her waist and abdomen moving from side to side rather elegantly. She still wasn’t used to her new surroundings, so she didn’t dared to allow her long tail to move freely, fearing to accidentally hit someone else with it, make them trip or having someone stepping on it by accident “Hello there!” She greeted cheerfully before waiting for the girl’s reply, that way she would be able to know if she was in the mood to talk or not.

Coatzin put a hand over her mouth in an attempt to hold back her laugh when the girl jumped after she greeted her. It wasn’t her intention to startle her, but she couldn’t help it, she looked a bit hilarious waving her arms around to regain her balance. Well, at least she didn’t had to deal with a bunch of puffed up feathers that made her look utterly ridiculous each time she got scared or startled, right?

“Don’t worry, sorry for startling you by the way” She looked at her boots, curious “I can understand why you were distracted, your boots are really nice” She raised her head when the girl complimented her tail, reacting by raising her wing to look at it and moving it around a bit with a smile before returning her gaze at her “Well, thank you. I’m Coatzin, it’s a true pleasure to meet you Kiyana!” Cool, maybe this meeting wouldn’t count as a newly made friendship, but at least she finally got to meet another student and that was just plain awesome! “I’m new around here, I know that it’s a bit weird for new students to arrive at this time of the year, but hey! I’m not the most common girl around anyways, right?” Coatzin even flapped her wings a bit just to accentuate her words “Anyways, mind if I try to sneak in into casual conversation by asking what are you up to?” Her cheerful words were in the middle point between a calm conversation and a joke.

Coatzin loved to make new friends and this was pretty obvious, but even if this was the case she had a bit of trouble at starting the conversations most of the time, so she always used the joking factor a bit just to break the ice and lighten the mood around her.

Well, it was a really nice thing to know that she wasn’t the only student that came around at rather unusual times, so probably she would be able to fit in a bit better than she originally expected. She probably should’ve supposed this earlier though, since the school was overall a bit out of the ordinary, so this kind of weird stuff shouldn’t be that weird, right?

She laughed with Kiyana after she answered her small ice-breaking question, this girl was quite amusing and for some reason she felt comfortable around her, probably because she was her first friend around this place “Yup, exploring and trying to meet new people. I’m sure that you’ll understand that when you just arrive the academy can become a huge maze, until you finally manage to get used to it and learn to move around” She just shrugged this off, the academy was obviously big and it would take her a while to know where to go without getting lost, probably a bit of help would allow her to speed up this process “You have any tips that you could give me?” She was hoping that this girl had been around here for long enough to help her out, but if it turned to be otherwise…well, at least they could get lost together.

Coatzin nodded with the girl’s words, this islands were proving to be quite an interesting place to explore, full of mysteries around every corner that she was willing to find and investigate. She already had found a lot of things that had caught her interest in a flash and she had only been around very specific areas of the academy, so she couldn’t help but wonder what else she would be able to find around.

She didn’t felt upset when the girl answered her question with a negative, even if she was hoping for a couple of tips or some advice, but hey, at least the girl thought the same way that she did about the getting lost together, which was obviously really nice “Well, if I’m given the choice, I would obviously prefer to get lost with someone than get lost alone in such a huge place, plus, for what I had already seen in these islands I can say that getting lost can end up being a cool adventure after all!” Positive as always, getting lost would make most people get scared or at least nervous, but she saw the chance of actually getting herself and her friend an adventure!

She looked around before looking back at the girl “Talking about exploring, you want to go somewhere or just rake a walk?”.

Coatzin smiled cheerfully at the girl’s reaction towards her own, it was so cool to actually start getting to know people, and what could potentially be a friend as well! “Well, we can ask each other whatever we want while we think of a more interesting place to explore, right?” With that she started to walk around the sunny place with Kiyana at her side.

An idea quickly popped into her mind “Ok, since I was the one with the idea I’ll start. You look really nice and like a super cool girl, but I couldn’t help but wonder, what brought you to these islands?” The girl looked as a common human, and since she was sure that they should be really rare she was curious. Maybe this girl had powers?
