"Oh," Akane finished her roll and took another one. "I don't know how I'd handle being an only child. I have six brothers. Six brothers and three sisters." She giggled. "But it sounds like you have a nice deal."
Nom. "I'm Akane Gussumaru, by the way. Nice to meet you."

"It could be better... I could have my mom, but she left..." Kassandra said sadly, eating another roll. "But Dad does really well, for a guy with no siblings trying to raise a daughter all by himself. But that's why I'm here. To learn normal things."
She just grinned again, then took the plate from Rhythan's hand and put it on the counter. Grabbing his unhurt hand, she started pulling him as best she could to the door. "Come on, Dad won't be happy to see you waited so long to come see him, no."
She paused and looked around. "Akane, would you like to come? Anyone else? You could meet my dad." Kassandra grinned, still holding Rhythan's hand firmly.

Bekkoji grinned through his hair. "No thanks, this Bekko will stay here and clean up." He made a small wave with his hand. "Go with her, Akane. It'll be good for you to meet new people."

Rhythan, amused, allowed himself to be pulled. "Oh, alright. If you insist." He heard Bekkoji and nodded. "Yes! Yes, Akane dear, come with us. And grab that plate of strudels, would you? I made them for Dr. Stryker earlier and haven't had the chance to run them to him... No, no the one on the left. The left. MY left. Yes, good girl."

Akane, using both hands to carry the plate, smiled, all shyness suddenly gone. Her brother was right-- meeting new people would help get her mind off home. She didn't know where the sick bay was-- but oh, that was silly. Both Kassandra and Rhythan knew where to go.

Ammeryn smiled over the edge of her book at Bekkoji.
"Go on, Rhythan," she agreed. "We'll clean up for you and make sure no one blows up the kitchen before you get back."

Kassandra grinned, pulling Rhythan again. "You know I'm going to get at least one of those. Dad always shares unless I've done something wrong and I'm in trouble. Even then he usually saves one for me."
She kept a firm hold on his hand as she kept pulling him to the sickbay and her father. How the man stayed so thin with Rhythan constantly sending him sweets, she would never understand. But that didn't really matter so long as he shared.

The door closed. Bekkoji waited for the sound of footsteps to die off as he finished his salad. He watched Ammeryn, his grin persisting.
"This turtle heard Tuebor payed you a visit this morning, Amme."

Ammeryn made a face. She hopped down from ther counter, set her book down, and crossed the kitchen to the fridge. "He did," she said. She opened the door and grabbed a carton of orange juice. She knew Tuebor was a friend of Bekkoji's, but she could not bring herself to stay for long in the same room as Tuebor. He scared her, and unfortunately he knew, and enjoyed it.
"Bekkoji, the cabinet behind you... fetch me a glass, please."

Bekkoji twisted his upper torso and did as he was told. He selected a glass, closed the cabinet, and held the glass out. Above Ammeryn's head, just out of her reach. "Jump for it."

"Oh." Ammeryn leaned against Bekkoji's knees, trying to use him as leverage to reach the glass. "You're acting like my sister. Give it t--oop!" Ammeryn stretched too far, lost her balance, and fell sideways.

Bekkoji leaned forward, throwing out an arm to catch Ammeryn. He arched an eyebrow at the girl, his expression accusing. "You did that on purpose." He set her upright, gave her shoulders a squeeze, and handed her the glass.

"Did not." Ammeryn laid her hands on Bekkoji's forearms to steady herself. Afterwards she took the glass and stepped away from the taller boy. A few gulps of orange juice later and she was smiling again. "Okay, I might have. But if anyone asks, I'm going to deny it."

Zypher came in distractedly, yet again a white gyrfalcon on his shoulder. Nodding with distraction at the children already in the room, he noticed the rolls on the counter and took one. Giving Ozora an occasional nibble of the ham in the roll, he just leaned against a counter. "Where is Rhythan? It's not like him to leave students alone in here."

Ammeryn finished her drink and picked up Bekkoji's empty dish. "He scalded his hand on some oil," she explained as she carried them over to the sink. "Kassandra leashed him up and took him to the sick bay, along with a new Gussumaru student."
Well, Ammeryn was technically a new student as well, but she had been around the school so long that most of its inhabitants knew her by sight, if not by name.
She smiled. "You're welcome to fix yourself something, as long as you clean up after yourself."

He shrugged, "Yeah, I know the rules. Been here a bit too long, I think sometimes. Only got this year and next left 'til I've got my degree at least. Then I'll be free of this feathered leech."
He started looking around the kitchen, completely unsurprised to see nothing normal in the refrigerator or cabinets. He always looked, but he really should know better than to think Rhythan would keep anything so plebeian as cold cereal, or even plain oatmeal around. Going home to normal food always messed him up when it came to finding something at school.
"Kassandra... Right, Stryker. Cute little kid when she isn't stirring up trouble or talking your ear off. I see your hair is still all sorts of colors there, Amme."

Ozora hopped off Zypher's shoulder and shifted human, brushing his long hair out of his face.
"Feathered leech indeed. One of these days I'm going to abandon you and you'll be utterly lost," Ozora retorted, digging through the fridge until he found something that looked good for breakfast. Getting a glass of orange juice, he leaned against the counter, kicking the fridge door shut with the tip of his boot.

Ammeryn fingered one of her loose pigtails. "It doesn't look stupid, does it? It kind of happened when Seele was experimenting..." Hey, Jaebi had had prismatic hair when he was a freshman. So neither of her parents could say anything.

Bekkoji grinned from where he leaned against the counter. "As many times as this Bekko sees you transform," he said to Ozora, "he cannot help but feel like you're cheating somehow." Especially since he had had to dump his sister in the pantry a few minutes before.

"Your hair looks lovely, Amme. Don't mind Zypher. He's got blood red streaks in his hair, he doesn't have any room to talk," Ozora said, finishing his breakfast and brushing it off his shirt. Maybe later he'd go into the outskirts of the forest and catch a few mice or something to supplement. And gross Zypher out. Grinning at the idea, he turned to look at Bekko.
"I am cheating," he said cheerfully. "It IS magic, after all. "

Bekkoji nodded. "This turtle agrees with Ozora," he said. He crossed to the sinks and grabbed a towel to dry the dishes Ammeryn had just washed. To Ozora, he chuckled. "Point taken. This Bekko is a little jealous, nonetheless."

The shadow flitted behind a table and turned into a girl.
"Yes... such a nice power," she catfaced. "If a person could learn its secrets, perhaps it could be replicated and passed on, hm? Theoretically."

Ozora blinked in confusion, "I don't know if werebeing powers work like that..."
He looked at the odd girl with a raised brow, confused. Hearing Zypher snicker, he poked the older boy in the ribs and grinned as he jerked. "Be nice or I'll feed you one of the mice I'm going to go get later."

Zypher jerked and hissed, rubbing his ribs carefully. "Jeeze Ozora, be careful. I'm vaguely on the fragile side, remember?"
He wrinkled his nose and gagged at the idea of mice being eaten, putting aside what was left of his food. Tossing it, he washed his dishes and put them away. "You stay and talk, Ozora. I'm going to go finish unpacking. And locking my window."
He left, hoping to leave the boy behind for a bit. Ozora sometimes got a bit... suffocating.

Devyani laughed and walked around the table towards Ozora. "I don't either. Wouldn't it be fun to find out, though? I hardly ever get volunteers. Maybe you could bring your friend along; mage powers are fun."
"And hello turtle. Hello new girl with the pretty hair," she waved at the other two.
