Sofia sighed as she continued walking with Andrew, looking around as they walked, she looked back and forth between the two dorms "Im guessing the one with the unicorn is my dorm" she said before turning to Andrew, "come on lets go" she said, taking his hand and starting to drag him to the Girl's dormitory. "after you help me unpack I will return the favor, alright?" she asked.*~*~*~*
Andrew chuckled at her eagerness "you don't have to" he said with a smile "I am sure I can unpack myself, no need to do more work then necessary. HE followed behind her in step, careful not to fall to far behind or she we pull him even harder to keep up.
Mod
Kaden headed out of the student center towards the dorms. He had an hour or so to kill before his aunt would be in her office, maybe longer. He wasn't too worried about it even if he didn't make it to her office today; they had a week before classes started after all. Plenty of time for him to enroll.
He glanced around at the handful of people milling around the courtyard, smiling widely when he saw a familiar pair. He increased his pace to catch up with them before they entered the girls' dormitory. "Hey, Sofia," he called when he was about ten yards from them. "Need some help?"
Andrew looked over, making a less then please face "I am sure we can do it alone" he said simply, pulling Sofia back a little. casing her to stmble back into him.*~*~*~*
She pouted softly "Andy, what was that for he only wants to help" she said before giving him a tiny smile, beside's you are there, what is the worst that could happen" she mused, stepping forward again and looking at Kaden "You can come with us if you like" she said gently "As long as you don't have to be somewhere" she added. "Then you don't have too."
Mod
"I do have a meeting with the dean, but she won't be in until later in the day, so I've got some time to kill," he said with a small shrug.
"Can I carry anything for you?"
Sofia thought a moment "What about this?" she asked, holding out her heavy backpack full of clothing "Andy has most everything else" she said "And I want to have the suitcase with me" she looked back at Andrew "I can take the box full of porcline" she said, holding out her hands expectantly, waiting for Andrew to hand her the box.*~*~*~*
Andrew grumbled something under his breath as Sophie handed off her bag "Fine, but be careful not to drop it, you know you cannot get it again" The box was full of china dolls their father had brought her from various countries, each one of a kind. "And I am sure Father would not appreciate a phone call so soon."
*~*~*~*
Sofia giggled, "Maybe from you, but he told me to call him whenever I wanted, guess we know who the favorite is" she teased before sticking out her tongue childishly before started back towards the dorms.
Mod
Sorry for the delayed reply. I wanted Liv to to meet Andrew. I just had to get her here. ^_^ ))
Kaden took the backpack and slung it over his shoulder. "Is there anything else I can carry for you? This is pretty light."
*****
Olivia wiped the sweat off her forehead as she approached the small group outside the girls' dormitory. "Good morning. Are you all new students too?" she asked as she neared them. She felt a little self-conscious because of her outfit; she was still wearing her workout clothes - a sports bra and bicycle shorts. A light blush covered her cheeks and neck, all the way down to her cleavage.
*****
Kaden glanced at the newcomer, then smiled as he looked her over. Well, she's quite the curvy one. And another cat from the smell. A sweaty one. Still, quite the looker. Maybe she can distract Sofia's brother. I hope.
"Yeah, I'm new at least. Name's Kaden. Pleased to meet you, Miss," he said with a small bow.
*****
Olivia's blush increased when he bowed to her. She gave a small nod in return. "I'm Olivia. Nice to meet you." At least they aren't vampires. So far, so good. That Kaden fellow smells odd, though. Like sulfur, sort of. I'm not sure what he is. The other two are cats, though. Some sort of smaller cats, maybe even house cats. Yes, actually, I think they are house cats. They're the first were-cats I've met that are just house cats.
She smiled at them, hoping they would introduce themselves too. Especially the boy. He's cute. Not as buff as the drow with the odd smell, but definitely cute. Very cute.
((Sorry I have always had a problem with that word and apparently auto correct does not know it either))Sofia smiled and shook her head "no, it's fine" she said "Andrew has most of it" she looked at laden tilting her head alittle "thanks for asking though" she said softly. She turned as the unfamiliar girl walk forward, giving er also a tiny smile.
*~*~*~*
Andrew looked over as Olivia walked up, he would admit she was stunning, though he knew if Sofia was out walking around showing that much skin he would most likely drag her back to the dorm.
((Sorry it's short, getting ready to leave))
Mod
No problem. With proper punctuation, that would be more than five sentences. ^_- ))
Olivia moved to the door and opened it She leaned against it to hold it open so the group to precede her into the dorm. "You all have your arms full, so go on ahead." She gingerly pulled the top fron of her sports bra away from her skin, giving a small sigh of relief at the feel of cool air on her sweaty skin. After a half a second, she let go of the fabric, letting it snap back into place. She couldn't wait to get a shower.
*****
"Thank you, Miss Olivia," Kaden said formally. He gestured for the siblings to precede him into the dorm. Sofia was the one with the room key after all. She should be in the front of their little group.
*****
Olivia frowned slightly as she waited. Had she misread this group? Was the odd-smelling drow some kind of servant to the other two? Was that why neither of them spoke to her, they considered her inferior? She would have to wait and see, but she sincerely hoped she was wrong. Maybe they were both just shy. Or maybe they sensed her leopard and were trying not to provoke her hunting instincts? She truly had no idea why they were not speaking to her.
At least the cat-boy had looked her over appreciatively, though he obviously didn't approve of her clothing.
Sofia walked in, looking back and forth as they walked through the halls. "I wonder how far it is" she said thoughtfully, mostly to herself. She turned and began walking backwards as she spoke, the large box in her hands "Hey Andy...Want to go explore afterwards?" she asked with a large smile. "I want to see around campus a little more".*~*~*~*
Andrew nodded to Olivia a smiled in thanks "thank you" he said gently to her "It would have been quite a task to open that door with my hands full" he then looked up ahead "I should catch up with my sister." HE turned away from her and jogged down the hall in till he caught up, listening to Sofia's request "I don't know Sophie...I really need to get unpacked and organized" he said softly "Maybe tomorrow morning?" his breath hitched a bit when he saw her pout, already starting to rethink what he had just said to her.
Mod

Kaden followed the siblings into the building, pausing briefly to kiss the already blushing Olivia on the cheek. He winked at her as he fell in behind the siblings.
*****
Okay, that was weird... She followed the small group into the building, letting the door close behind her. "Hey! Miss, Sophie, is it?" she called in a louder than normal voice, "What room are you in?" She didn't appear to know there were no rooms on the ground floor. Probably thought this was the first floor, which she had the previous night, until she saw the door 'numbers' all started with 'G'. "The first floor is upstairs," she said in a softer tone once she had their attention.
Sofia looked up and smiled "thank you" she said with a small giggle before turning around and running forward to the elevator, pressing the top button as she hummed happily to herself. She had a one track mind and did not seem to notice there where two parts to what Olivia had said.*~*~*~*
Andrew jogged to catch up with his sister again "Wait up" he called, being careful not to drop anything. HE came up behind her "stop running off like that" he said, chuckling softly.
Mod
*****
Kaden waited until Olivia had disappeared up the stairs before he spoke.. "Why were you two so rude to that girl? You barely spoke to her, and never did introduce yourselves." She shook his head. "I'm surprised at you," he said to Andrew. "Cute girl like that? And you barely said a sentence to her? What were you thinking? No offense meant, of course. To either of you." The elevator arrived just as he finished speaking.
He was relieved to see it empty, so no one heard his little rant. That could be embarrassing to the siblings. Not that he gave a damn about Andrew. Sofia, however, he wasn't entirely sure about; he didn't want to embarrass her, but...
Maybe I'll just drop this bag off and leave them. I'm not sure what to think of either of them right now. They seemed nice enough when we first met, but then they were quite rude to that girl. Of course, they may not have even realized it until I pointed it out to them.
*****
Olivia ran up the stairs and into her dorm room, both relieved and annoyed to hear her roommate in the bath. She wasn't sure, but thought she might be crying. Or at least tearing up. She didn't want any awkward questions just now. There was an empty room at the end of the hall, with the door open, so she decided she'd just grab her stuff and shower in there.
Sofia held her breath as he spoke, "I'm sorry" she whispered very softly as they stepped into the elevator. She was not good at addressing people, the only reason she was able to talk to Kaden is because he introduced himself so boldly, she felt almost obligated to talk to him. "I did not mean it" she said, her voice wavering a bit, now feeling a little bad. She looked down at the box, biting her lip.*~*~*~*
Andrew looked at Kaden and frowned as he pulled Sofia close, staring at him with an unamused glare. "It's okay Sophie, you did not mean it, you where just distracted is all" he soothed as the doors opened, he slowly let her go. "lets get you unpacked, okay?" he asked with a smile, leading the way out of the elevator.
Mod
Then he turned on Andrew. "You, however, I should lecture." He paused as the other boy got off the elevator. He shook his head again. The boy wasn't happy with him, but he really didn't give a damn about that. He wasn't too happy with the other boy either. How could he basically ignore a pretty girl? Especially one who'd tried to be nice to him. One who, unless he'd misread the signals, found the boy attractive. He almost never misread signals from females. Not since he was thirteen years old, at least.
He followed the siblings down the hall towards Sofia's room.
((You should probably post there next.))

Andrew walked out to the courtyard, sighing softly to himself as he lugged to heavy suitcases behind him. "At least most of the baggage is gone" he said aloud "I love Sophie but she has far too much stuff" he looked ahead to the boy's dorms, frowning "Why are they so far a part, its very unconventional," though he knew there was probably good reason behind it, like keeping boys and girls separated at night. ((fixed it))
Mod
Olivia grinned when she saw him exit the dorm. She stood and slowly walked towards him. "Andy?" she said softly and uncertainly. She hoped he would remember her. And that he wouldn't mind that she knew his name. Or that she had used it. After all, he hadn't told her his name. She'd just heard his sister use it.
At least she was wearing more clothing this time: a denim skirt that nearly reached her knees and a short-sleeved, v-neck blue T-shirt that was tight, but not quite skin-tight. It highlighted her curves nicely.
Andrew turned to her and smiled gently "Hello" he said, his tone a lot less annoyed now that Kaden was not around, he held his hand out "I am sorry about earlier" he said sincerely, I was a bit annoyed and failed to properly introduce my self, My name is Andrew Hurst" he gave her a bright smile, hoping it made up for earlier. "if you would like you can come up to my room, after I get settled I want to look around a little"
Mod
"I take it you didn't like Kaden flirting with your sister? Can't say that I blame you. I wouldn't like him flirting with my little sister either. But, then, she is only sixteen." She shrugged. "Am I babbling? I think I'm babbling. I'm sorry if I am. I guess I'm just a little nervous." Why I should be nervous, I have no idea. But I am. I mean, it's not like he's my soul mate. Is he? No, no way. He can't be.
Of course, I can't know for sure with out kissing him. And I can't just walk up to him and kiss him. Well, I could. I just shouldn't. It wouldn't be remotely proper. I don't even understand why I'm thinking this way. It's so strange. I'm far too young for this to happen.
"Yeah, alright," she said, blushing just a little. More from her thoughts than the idea of being alone in his room with him.
Andrew sighed softly "I just have trust issues" he admitted, especially when it comes to Sofia....oh yeah, sorry about her too, she gets so caught up in things she forgets to check her surroundings." he chuckled nervously, hoping she was not too upset about the whole thing. "so how about it, come up to the room with me?" he asked again as he pulled his hand away slowly.
Mod
She was also still considering kissing him as soon as she got him alone. It was a crazy idea, but very appealing. Far too appealing, truth be told. But there had to be some reason her thoughts were going the way they had been going, the way they were still going.
Maybe he would kiss her and save her the trouble. A girl can hope.
Andrew lead her up to his room, talking along the way. "So what is your sisters name?" He asked with a smile, trying to make conversation. "She seems a lot like Sophie...well atleast from what I have Heard" he said. "What is she like?" He asked with a genuine smile as he pulled out his key (could you make the next lost of their conversation in Andrew's room?)((Are you going to respond in Sofia's room?))

Bryn walked around, getting annoyed. Jason's beta wolf, Matt had come up so now he was ingnoring her. She tried to get her anger out by shifting a couple times from shadow to natrual wolf. She didn't find either one calming. She looked around for a big rock and sat on it. She then shifted into an inferno wolf and layed down. She needed a friend.
Mod
"Wow," she whispered as the girl turned into a wolf form that appeared to be made of fire. She walked towards her.
"Hello. You look like you could use someone to talk to," she said, smiling gently.
Bryn looked over at the woman next to her. She cocked her head to the side. She wondered who the woman was. Yet she was more trusting than Jason. She shifted to human and sat on the now red rock. The heat did not affect her though."Hello." She said with a wave of her hand.
Mod
"I'm Xantra Dominic. I'm a professor here. I'm guessing you're a student, am I right?"
"I'm Bryn. Yes, I am a student here. Nice to meet you." She said as she held out her hand. She tried to keep her face as emotionless as she could.
Mod
"Nice to meet you, too, Miss Bryn," she finally said with a smile.
Bryn smiled. Failing to keep her face blank she smiled and laughed. "No. Nice to meet you." She felt bad the woman kinda looked scared of her. She wondered how terrified she would be if she really knew how old she was."It's fine. I'm not in the mood to hurt anyone. The pure fire part comes with the form mostly."
Mod
"You look so young," she murmured. Except your eyes. They look older than mine. Or even Illy's.
Bryn thought for a moment. She didn't want to say something she would regret. "Weird family history. Legends that are lookedat legends because the truth could never be accepted. So, you could say even for the supernatural world. My family and myself are legends." She said hoping not to have said anything that could make an already large bounty on her hide larger. "Oh, the form. It's called... Well I don't think it has a formal name but I refer to it as inferno. And believe me I am not as young as I look." She said with a smile.
Mod
Mod
"Your eyes give that away," Xantra said with a small smile. "But then, I'm older than I look as well. Only because my mother is an elf," she said with a shrug. Her father had past away decades earlier. He'd lived a long life by human standards, but it had been no more than the blink of an eye to her mother. She still had yet to move on, though. She insisted he was her soul mate, that she would never love anyone else.
((Not sure where that last bit came from...))
((It's fine :)))Bryn smiled and looked to the side for a moment. "Like I said some weird family history. My family still tries to treat me like a child. Well that is because in their eyes I am. Let me tell you, the Medieval time was a quite fun. But then again, I feel you fail to believe me." Bryn finished with a sigh. She laughed when she rembered the "legend" of King Arthur. Like it was a legend.
Mod
"I've worked her for more than a decade. In that time, I've heard numerous students make outrageous claims, most of them false. However, given what little I have seen of your abilities, and what I know of shifters, I am inclined to believe you. I may not act like I believe you, but only because I have not yet seen concrete proof of your claim," she explained with a small shrug.
"I'm certain the Medieval era was not terribly fun for any paranormal being. Going by the stories Mother told me when I was younger, at least." She gave the girl an odd look when she laughed suddenly, not knowing what she found funny.
"Well when you know the right people it can be quite the experience. Do you think the legend of King Arthur was really a legend? But, if you want I do still have some artifacts. But first I need you to answer my question." Bryn wanted to tell her everything. She never really told anyone this much. She sharpened her hearing in case any hunters were near by.
Mod
"Was that the question you wanted me to answer? Or did you ask another one that I've already forgotten?" I don't think she's asked any other questions. My memory isn't that bad, is it?
((Is her real age in her profile somewhere? I seem to remember her age being listed as 18... But her background made her sound older than that. If her real age isn't listed, it needs to be. [I.e. 18 (750) OR 750, looks 18]))
(( just updated it))"He was a funny one him. But the one who helped me through the time. He was my first true love. I don't really know if I should say his name. But I can assure you it is no legend." She gave a smile at the thoughts of her secret past lover. She could still remember his face as clear as day. "I first met him while he was young. I can still remember his scent."
Mod
Xantra grinned at the girl's words. And her smile. Her eyes were far away when she said she could still remember his scent. "Who would I tell? Besides, who would believe me if I did say anything?"
She was tempted to ask the girl to scoot over on the rock so she could sit down too, but it was probably still hot. It wasn't red anymore, not quite, but the air wasn't cool enough for it to be cooled off so quickly.
"Well I hate to say it but there are plenty of people you can tell not knowing and they would believe you. But if you really want to know who he was... It was Merlin. O my God. He was so handsome. He was very sarcastic when he was younger. Yet he helped me with my secret and I kept his and then thats how we fell in love. He never broke his promise though. Neither did I." She finished recalling the days even if they were truly a 1,000 years ago.
