Zahir had seen a cafe in the campus grounds and always wanted to drop in and see what they had. It looked like a great place to go so why not go today? He had the weekend so he decided that is what he was going to do. He grabbed his sketchbook because he thought about drawing while he was there. He stuffed a pencil in his pocket and headed out. It wasn't long before he stood at the front. He saw an open table outside and decided to take the opportunity in sitting outside in the nice weather. He sat down and waited for a waiter or waitress to come. He was pretty sure what he was getting if they had it, he just had to wait for someone to come and take his order. And it was long til a waitress came and took his order of a cup of coffee. For some reason he loved coffee at any time of day. He would even drink it at night if he could but he knew that he'd be up all night. He sipped his coffee and put it down as he pulled out his sketchbook from his bag. He flipped through the pages until he found a clean sheet. He pulled out his pencil and began to draw a quick outline of his drawing. He seemed to like drawing still life instead of scenery which was fine and all but he could expand his styles a bit. He looked at his watch and it was still fairly early. He picked his cup and then took another sip.

[SHALNESHALA]

It was only a day since he had become admitted to the academy, and Shal was determined to explore at least some of the school before he had to attend his first class on monday. Shal would usually wake up early in the mornings so that he could bask in the sun for a while before doing anything, but today seemed, different, to him. As Shal walked out from the dorms and out onto a short grass towards a massing of people, he would use an ageing cane he had found in a local dump a few weeks ago in order to make it seem like he was blind. Although if the cane wasn't enough, the maroon blind fold on his eyes would be a most obvious clue.

As Shal wandered towards the massing, he would flicker his tongue carefully out to the lip of his mouth, to see what most of the commotion was about. After a moment, the scent of coffee, food, and other people sweating from the heat made him realise that this was a sort of restaurant or cafe. Shal would flick his tongue out a few more times and spot an open seat, tapping the old cane on the ground, he acted like he was walking his way around to the table, and almost expertly sat down and set his cane to the side of the table.

A moment went by as Shal waited, and a waitress would come and ask what he would like. He would simply look up at her and speak in a quiet voice, "Water, please," and the waitress would head inside and bring out a glass of water, settling it onto his table before moving on. Shal would simply look down at his drink and pick it up, taking a small sip out of it before setting it back down, sitting back in his seat in order to let the sun warm his face.

Just a typical day at the academy, classes were a little entertaining with students owning to their powers. Axel, a somewhat new and quiet student to the school headed down to the café area for some food. The boy was starving as he missed breakfast and it was a late lunch. He well wasn’t a student that could hide much of his true nature due to the simple fact he had two fox ears at the top of his head and a tail that was almost hidden by pants. He found his way to where he could enter in to the café though, he was still a little unsure of students and well his ears. The silver haired and golden eyed boy walked into the place looking around to find a place to sit down at. Axel was well new to having a school campus like this in all its beauty. Though, in his defense he was home school in Denmark where he grew up with a pack of kitsunes. His eyes scanned the room as he went and sat down near some other students. Ax didn’t know much as to what he really wanted to have to eat at this place or the simple fact of other students.

A waitress came over to him giving him a little menu and explained the specials they had going for the day. “Um.. Tea for now please.” Axel spoke softly with an accent that was defiantly Scandinavian in origin. The waitress smiled and nodded as she turned on her heals and walked away. In his back pack he pulled out a notebook and began to write different things down, equations and such to his memory. Amazing student he was just lacked the social skills to really get him going. He looked around as she brought a cup of tea out to him and he began to sip the hot cup of tea. Naturally he loved this stuff and would do anything to get a hold of it. Naturally he was hyper so it was something new that he was quiet in a new location. He moved strands of the silver hair behind his shoulders as it was longer than most males would ever thing about having their hair.

He was sketching the head of his drawing and then creating the jaw line. He the sketched out the eyes and drew the nose and mouth as well. He started cleaning it up and then started on the hair. As he was almost finished the bangs on his drawing, he started to grab his cup when he noticed the student sitting in front of him. When did he get here? He was sure that it was just him sitting there this whole time. Then again he was pretty focused on the drawing that he could had overlooked it by accident and he could had been sitting there for a while. The man had a blindfold over his eyes and holding a cane in one hand. Was he blind or something? The cane made it fairly obvious but why would he need a blindfold? He raised an eyebrow but ignored it and continue to sip his drink and draw. Then a few minutes later, he noticed someone coming over and sitting down as well. Well it looks like he's going to have company so after the other student ordered tea, he started to pack his stuff up. He was almost done with the head so he didn't really worry about it. He moved his hair out of the way and decided that he should make conversation. He hasn't talked to many people here so talking to them may lead to interesting conversation. I haven't seen you two here before. Are you new here to the academy as well? I'm new here myself, only been here for about a week. Oh excuse my rambling heheh. My name is Zahir. Maybe I ask the name of you two? Hopefully he didn't sound like a fool.

[SHALNESHALA]

Shal had sat there a few moments in order to enjoy the sun, but then he almost flinched for a moment when he heard another student sit down. Ignoring the noise, he would unfamiliar voice talk to the waitress, and he quickly zoned back into his basking. Although as if fate had other plans in mind, Shal would shift up in his seat as another voice spoke, although seeming more towards another person, he could obviously tell he was being asked the question as well.

As the man finished his question, Shal would attempt to look towards his direction, which seemed only a bit off as he would pick up his glass of water, taking a quick sip before putting it back down. "I am new... Yes. Im-" Shal would say in a quiet voice, seeming to roll his S a little more than he meant to as he would accidentally stop himself mid-sentence, feeling discontent about letting himself be dragged through something else if he was to finish.

Shal would seem to stare off into the distance for only a moment before he would shake it off and finish his sentence, "My name is Shal..." He would let out a short, quick sigh as he would pick up his glass to take another sip. He wasn't exacly sure why anyone would speak to him, considering what he learned from his other homes and schools, he thought he would be just treated the same like every other time.

Axel was lost in his own world with changing in a new into the new atmosphere of the café. He was analyzing every situation to figure out what the outcome would be. It was some way of over thinking as he always wanted to know any possible outcome that could happen. Ax took a small sip of the tea and smiled a little as it was the perfect type of drink to sooth his mind. He was aware of what was happening as it seemed most students had come here for a nice like hang out place. He grabbed a book out of his bag and started to read just a bit before realizing that someone was speaking to him and another student asking their names and seeing if they were new as well. He laughed a little as he enjoyed a new face and a conversation. He looked at the other student as he began to speak introducing himself and saying that he was new. It was axel’s turn, and as it had his English was well a little broken.

“I am Axel, and yes I am new to… the academy.” Ax first spoke to both of them, figuring it was better for him to introduce himself first before going any further. He bit his lip trying to think of the words that would next come out of his mouth. “it’s a pleasure to meet both of you, Zahir and Shal.” He added after a moment of finally getting the words he needed. He knew English as a second language as it was probably something he hadn’t really learned to well on his flight to the United States. Axel took another sip of tea, for him it reminded him a little of home when he would sit by the fire and drink something similar to this. He watched the other two males curious to the random moment for someone to start of conversation. But Ax figured it was a good time to make new friends as he didn’t have many back home.

For some reason, he did this a lot when speaking with other people and it's sometimes hard to get him back into reality. Sitting at the table started to bring up memories. Some were nice and peaceful. But then the bad ones started to rise. He started to remember the day he nearly got his little brother killed. It was a reasonably sunny night with excellent weather so that wasn't much to complain about. He couldn't quite remember what they were arguing about to make him do this but he shape shifted into a half-wolf form and kicked him right into a wall causing a fracture or two with his ribs. But enough of his memories, time to get back to reality. The long silver haired student was Shal who looked to be a strange fellow. For one thing, half his body was a snake! Another thing was his flicking tongue. He pondered and assumed he was a Naga, who was supposedly a B-Class. But he looked new like him so hopefully he won't get too much trouble from him or the other one. Then the other student who also had long silver hair was Axel. A strange name but he wasn't going to complain. Same thing could be said about his. Now he could tell what Axel was by the ears and tail. He had to be a Kitsune, which he found rather nice. Or he could be a Shape Shifter who prefers a half-wolf form. But he highly doubted that because he remembered that student's are restricted to human form and that's probably as far as he can go. Also he was quite formal, possibly from a different country? His accent made it obvious but he could had been born here and one of his parents could be from elsewhere. But he wasn't going to wonder about it too much. "It's a pleasure to meet some fellow newcomers as well. I haven't met many nice ones except one. Okay so he tried thinking of something to talk about. He could try getting to know them and what they liked to do. "So either of you like art? I'm an artist myself as you could see when you sat here I was drawing. I've hoped to find someone here but that also hasn't been much a success hehe.

[SHALNESHALA]

Shal would first attempt to turn his head to another voice, which he nodded to after hearing the name, Axel correct? Anyways, the boy seemed to have a strange accent, something he never heard before. He would then turn his head to the other voice, who spoke again, this time speaking about art or something, and being an artist and was apparently drawing at one point.

Shal never really understood art, probubly because he couldn't really see it, unless it was oil based or something with a long lasting scent. He probubly couldn't draw either, even if he wanted to, he always usually burned it or something before he finished it, which was quite ironic given the fact that most nagas hated fire. He could never really do it at his other schools either, because since they all thought he was blind, they would never let him even go near a blank paper.

"I, don't really know what art is..." Shal would admittidly say this, although knowing that he may have seen some art, again, he didn't really understand it.
