Ember nodded. "Maybe it would be better if we went to her room," she said quietly. She didn't want A'ine to wear herself out first thing in the morning.

Orion jumped, his eyes widening. When he saw that it was only Alderic, tried to hide his grin as he jokingly rolled his eyes and muttered, "Show off," loud enough for Alderic to hear.

A'ine shook her head. "No, I don't think she wants to look at Anyone until she has too. Plus we don't know which room is her's, she took down the sigh when she came in." A'ine said pointing at the billeting board.

Alderic smiled. "Well what do you expect? I'm the only circus nut here!" He flopped down next to Orion. "So, who you waiting for?" He asked having a good idea already. "And why didn't you watch the sun raise? It was pretty amazing."

Ember saw her logic. "Yeah, I guess so, but at the same time, wouldn't talking still be interacting with someone?" She could tell she was losing the argument, but pushed her point anyway.

Orion laughed. "I've never actually seen one before," he said, knowing it sounded crazy. He didn't answer the first question, figuring that Alderic would ask again if he wanted to know. Plus he probably had some questions about Orion's last comment.

A'ine shook her head at her friend. "But she doesn't see me and besides it'd be best to just have me. I'm pretty sure her first instinct will be that I'm not a threat after yesterday." She said putting her arm on Ember's shoulder. "Besides she'll want to say all her nerves for later so that we can swim."

Alderic nodded. "I've heard weirder. Kinda have to when you live to move around." He wondered why Orion hadn't answered his first question. "So, did you know Jora before you came here? You seem to be pretty close." He asked not wanting to repeat the first one a lot.

"...Okay," Ember agreed reluctantly. She looked up as if she would be able to see Jora through the ceiling, and all the floors above them.

"Nope. I don't know anyone from here actually. Then again, since I've never seen a sunset, it's pretty obvious that I haven't been around much," Orion said, laughing slightly. "And I was actually waiting for Jora so I could return this to her," he said, gesturing to the sketchbook in the bag. "Do you know anyone from here?" he asked, tilting his head so he could see Alderic's face from his spot on the ground.

A'ine smiled at Ember. "Sorry but I think it'd be best for her..." She turned to mind-speak to Jora. She found her on the floor above them. 'Morning sun shine. You up?' She sent knowing she was already. 'Orion's waiting for you outside. Did you want to try and sleep in a little?' She sent quickly thinking that'd be what she'd want to know.

Jora jumped up again, looking around to try and find A'ine. She remembered that A'ine could talk through thoughts. She started thinking answers to A'ine's questions. 'I'm up. And yes. Could you ask him not to wait?' She sent briefly pulling her covers down to get back under them. She heard A'ine's voice again. 'Sure thing, Beautiful.'

A'ine turned to Ember. "She wants us to try and make Orion go to eat. She's going to try and sleep until class."

Alderic flopped back to look up at the blueish sky as they talked. "I actually have seen Jora before. She was at one of my circus stops one time. Of course a phoenix girl went to 'the Flaming Top' when it rolled past town." He looked over at Orion. "But no, I don't really 'KNOW' anyone here." He said sitting back up. "Breakfast starts soon. You hungry?" He asked getting ready to do a rolling stand up.

Orion nodded. "Yeah, I guess," he said, shifting positions so he was sitting cross-legged. "I'm gonna wait a bit longer though. You can gon on ahead if you want." As tempting as breakfast was, he did want to fix what he did last night.

Ember walked to the door of the dorm and stepped out into the sunshine, blinking slightly. She saw Orion and another figure standing under a tree. She blinked in surprise. "Alderic..." she whispered. Yesterday Orion had been yelling at him, and know he was smiling and talking with him. She wondered what had happened.

Alderic shook his head. "Nah, I'll wait." He looked over at the dorms. "Hey look there's Ember and A'ine." He said pointing tapping Orion in the arm. "Maybe, they've seen Jora."

A'ine smiled. "Yup." She walked over to the boys. "Hey, Orion!" She said as she got closer. "Jora's sleeping in today, she asked us to tell you not to wait around for her." She said then looked at Alderic. "Have you guys seen A'eda'n? I haven't seen him since class yesterday."

"Nope. I got back to the dorm pretty late," said Orion, shaking his head. He stood up, putting Jora's sketchbook back into his bag. He checked to make sure that Naomi was still in the bag too.

Ember followed A'ine, and watched her talk to Orion and Alderic.

Alderic shook his head. "Nope, didn't see him. The dorm buildings are pretty big." He put his shoulders on the ground and flipped onto his feet.

A'ine nodded. "Oh well, I guess I'll see him later." She looked over at Ember then back to the boys. "You guys sleep alright?" She asked smiling a little.
