He shifted positions and recrossed his arms. "You'll be fine. It's not as scary as you probably think it is. You'll have fun, and the teachers are nice. Just don't tick any of them off, and you'll be fine. Unless you want to. A little trouble is always a good thing, but don't overdo it."
"That's a little roundabout way of saying it," came a voice from the door of the comparment where the first year Dru and an older student, Irial, were talking.
The owner of that voice was a student not much older than the very Dru, though there was something quite different in their demeanor. Not quite easy going, not quite older-behaving, just... oddly controlled. It was a girl of pale complexion and short blond hair, and a face that still looked like a toddler's.
"Perhaps I'm intruding but," she began again with a gesture of uncertainty, "you wouldn't mind I join you, would you?" The young girl's eye bore into that of the older student. And then she was a bit less formal when she waved to the girl with a smile, the sort of way you do when you identified an equal.
