"Ah,it would appear Marie,Suki,Echo and Scarlett are in a different house. At least I have Anpea and she seems like a good perso-" her train of though was suddenly interrupted as Suki hopped on Echo,which also bumped Asumi who sat next to her. She really tried her best to muffle her shrieking but Suki's cuteness was just otherworldly. "You're playin' hard to get,aren'tcha? Hm...fine..." she muttered.

"Not really." Anpea chuckles, taking another sip from her drink and then turning to Asumi. "If I know my Galarians right, Suki's like a Hatterene. And they're disturbed by other people's emotions. Although she does try comforting instead of... you know, flat-out making her vanish." She chuckled, scratching her own chin.

Echo growled at the sudden contact, and her eyes flashed with a kind of feralness that Scarlett had never seen before. She glared at Suki, but calmed down when Scarlett’s shadow figures appeared. Scarlett rarely used her powers, so this was an emergency to her. Scarlett wrapped Echo in a hug, before Echo nearly killed someone— like the last time. She didn’t tell the rest about Echo’s true past. Well, not fully at least. Either way, Asumi would be a good friend to Echo, and the fighting/sparring would help

Suki looks up to Echo and holds onto her a little harder, rubbing her arm a little. "Please feel better..." She said, Anpea then crossing her arms and taking a precautionary step back, then looking to Scarlett. "Let's see how she fares."

"Yeah,it seems like it..." Asumi nodded. Turns out Echo found her therapist way sooner than expected. "Say,Anpea,how do you feel about this whole sorting thing? You're a Red Salamander,along with me! We're gonna show those yellow weasels and green reindeers! Ain't that right?" she exclaimed as she wrapped her arm around Anpea's shoulder,temporarily forgetting her drink. "We're gonna get along just fine!"

Anpea nods, finishing her drink and then laughing, putting her arm around Asumi and pulling her tight. "Let's show them how good us red reptiles can be!" Suki held tighter onto Echo, then mustering up a tiny bit of courage. "W...We yellow ferrets will show you your place!"
Anpea blinked. "Even when threatening she's cute..."

Echo growled at Suki again, but calmed upon seeing the animals. “Green deer will always be superior” Scarlett retorted in response

---

Suki finally looked up to Echo, then breaking loose and stumbling off, holding onto Asumi now. "H-Her emotions are too much..." She stuttered, hiding from Echo and holding her head in pain.

Kamma, slightly scared from the people all around who probably could very well kill her, sits completely in silence. "Yeah. What a fun year," she says mechanically. The heck you mean 'fun'?! Is it because Marie's got her own personal bodyguards? Does that make a person more blind to the reality of life or something?

Mrs. Lantos wipes some sweat away from her forehead. Maybe... maybe everything should be okay now. Knowing her, she probably missed some few students... Oh well.
"Please come by the teacher's lounge if there are any students who have not been sorted or if any other issue occurs. Thank you!" She steps down from the podium and walks over to the teacher's table.

Mr. Frazier laughs a little at how exhausted she seems, a bit surprised that teachers can get so tired at just talking to others. Well, not him! He steps up to the podium with a pep in his step, readying his papers.
"Dorms are next on the schedule. In this school, you will be living with your respective house on the second floor of the school. When you walk into your house's room, you will be greeted by a common area with a little kitchen subsection. When you walk further into the common area you will see the dorms themselves; a bedroom with two beds and a single bathroom. You will be divided into dorms by random selection, but we do need a little more time to prepare these."
He smiles widely.
"So that is why, today, we will introduce the first breakfast to you all. Our kitchen has prepared the tastiest food of all time. Or so I would say. I don't really know what youth likes nowadays. In order to strengthen your bonds with each other, would you all be so nice as to occupy each table with your house friends? Green Deer on the right, Yellow Ferrets in the middle, Red Salamanders on the left... Oh, how you'll get used to this saying."

---

Sofus laughs at all of Mr. Frazier's jokes because of course he does. Looking forward to the food, he walks over to the table in the middle and plops himself down. Not many other students have sat down yet, possibly due to the sudden confusion of it all.

Asumi was surprised to see Anpea actually "hugging" her back. Maybe the whole situation with Echo gave off the wrong first impression but Anpea seemed to be way more friendly than Asumi thought. It couldn't be the soda taking an effect on her...could it?

A bedroom with two beds? That meant there were going to be roommates!!! As if that didn't excite Asumi,she could really go for some breakfast. She kept repeating"Green Deers on the right,Yellow Ferrets in the middle and Red Salamanders on the left" using her inside voice, hoping she would remember it.

Suki quickly took advantage and ran towards the middle table, sitting down and burying her head in her arms, massaging her own head to feel a little better.

Anpea chuckles, winking at Asumi and pointing at another table. "Let's get some food! Red Salamanders, wooo!" She cheered, laughing and marching to the table assigned, then sitting down and waving her fellow Salamander over.

The mention of Green Deer has snapped Yura out of his daydreaming once more as he look around in a startled mode. Did the teacher mention something about breakfast and seating arrangements? Looking around at the now bustling students up and about arranging their own seating spots, he had to guess so.

Now what did the teacher say...right? The right...right? Crossing his finger and gripping a bit to his backpack, Yura makes his way through the students towards the right side of the tables. He sits down and faceplants his face on the table, his stomach rumbling and ready to feast on whatever the school had cooked up. Those nervousness had really gotten to his appetite.

---

Echo slid into the seat beside Yura and grinned. “Hiii~” she snickered, giving him a little poke. Scarlett sat beside Echo, and began making notes of student and teacher profiles...

---

Crud. Yura jumped a little from Echo's poke, sliding a bit farther from her. So much for no more social anxieties. He raises his head up slowly and give Echo a nervous smile, "H-hello there..."

---

Echo grinned, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. They were still cold and unforgiving, as if staring into Yura’s soul. She didn’t notice that though. “How are you? We’re in the same house, we should be friends!” Her voice was much closer to a growl than anything else

---

Yura doesn't trust that smile, the way she says her words sounds like she's not having a good time. The way she looks at him definitely does not help with the entire intro to this new person either. And now they're apparently dormmates? Incredible.

Might as well try to act friendly, "I-I guess sure, yeah, we can be friends then. Might as well anyways..." his head slowly dips into his smoke scarf, wanting no more from this little interaction. Why couldn't he had been rooms with Aki...

“A book?” Echo asked. “What kind? Maybe you’ll like this book!” She handed over a hard copy book, titled <Dragonkeeper>. Echo loved reading, and after handing the book over, returned back home

" Yeah!!!" she retorted in a somewhat monotone fashion,muffled by Anpea's actually enthusiastic cheer. Where did she get all that energy from to begin with? She sat next to her,clearly noticing her wave. Not that she was able to see her but Asumi was glad Echo was interacting with other people as well,she sounded like she was having fun. "Can't wait to see what goodies they have in store for us. The teacher better be sayin' the truth about the quality of the food!"
