"Yven was wrought with grief over Galifer and set on her mission to get her here," Valerie looked at Alexandra, who just so happened to look over at them. Their eyes met for a moment, but Gwendolyn turned soon after, causing Alexandra to turn away and head towards the exit of the library. "And if they do find anything, they probably won't announce anything quite yet. Throwing Emberstone into pandemonium is likely something they want to avoid but...do you think it could have been one of the families?" She wouldn't be surprised, many were upset the masters were searching for new riders in the mortal lands.

Alexandra caught the dark eyes of the quiet girl from earlier, seated across the older guy from earlier, Aaron, but before she could study the two for more than a second, she was being lead away by Gwendolyn. As they walked, they passed a girl against a bookcase, an elf whose beauty she had seen no comparison to in Erindae, and she had seen many of all races. There were so many different people here, a whole other world above her own. Well..this one was her own now, she supposed. She turned away from the elf girl, catching up to Gwendolyn.

"It would have to be, how else would a dragon be attacked by another dragon?" Aaron posed the rhetorical question. "They have never made an attempt on my life before, so the idea that they would strike at someone only doing their job is sickening, though." Aaron frowned in thought.

That was definitely a possibility. This older student seemed to know what she was talking about. Then again, she was the daughter of the Morghulis, so information would be obtained from there too. Artanis stared at the words in the book, giving up on studying as she listened attentively.

Valerie shook her head. "I have my ways," She replied. "Besides, they wouldn't tell us without permission from the elders,"

"What do you propose, then?" Aaron inquired, curious.

Yeah her and the rest of the school wanted to know the new girl. Artanis shook her head, trying her best to study the book in front of her.

Valerie rolled her eyes. "You do that anyways, you always have," She said. "Not that I'm one to speak, but still." She understood Yven's reasoning. Especially if this had been an attack from a family here, the new girl would be in more danger than she knew.

"And this is the first year tower. If it gets too lonely, I can see about moving you into one of the other common rooms, but I'd imagine it might be nice until you adjust. Any room is yours, take your pick! If you need anything just head downstairs, someone will be around," Gwendolyn waved and took her leave, leaving Alexandra alone in this drafty tower. She walked in a slow circle, still a little in shock.

Especially from the original families too. Artanis briefly wondered how the rest of her family would react. Both sides of her family were considered elitists. Her parents were slightly better on that matter, but not by much. It didn't help that her mother's side was loyal, and had a very elitist personality.

"Ah," Aaron seemed a bit surprised by that information, "I completely forgot about that. Wonderful." Aaron grumbled the last part.

"You can stick with me, my parents have opted out from being seen with their embarrassment of a daughter," Valerie said. "They'll probably have the pyre and mourning songs for Yven tonight too."

Artanis wished she could join them, but knew it wouldn't be possible. Mother's side was too loyal to their beliefs, father's side was equally the same. Maybe if she convinced a few people, she could slip through her parents ad joined these two.

"Seems like they're missing every point I can think of." Aaron replied. "I apologize for delving into this topic."
