"It's very different. Chinese is stupid unless you're living in China or translating, and you're doing neither," he pointed out

Georgia Charming head already packed her belongs into her dorm and was currently sitting in a coffee shop alone with no company beside her was her latte in a large mug and in her lap was her school bag. Georgia was reading a slightly thick book about dragons and fantasy creatures she seemed rather content and happy

Harriette first stopped at her brother's room. "JAMES! Get out of that book. Let's go meet some people. Hey, do you know what time class starts? Oh, and this is Altum. She's really friendly. What do you say, James? You'll come with us?"

James looks up from his book with a pained expression. "Harriette! You can't leave the characters like this! *insert characters name here* just died! I can't leave them now!" Harriette gave James a look

"Characters can wait." She says. James reluctantly pulls himself away from the book.

"Okay. Fine. I don't know what time class starts. Nice to meet you, Altum. Yes, I am coming apparently." James says to answer Harriette's first tide of questions.

Lishian rolled his eyes. "So? I'm supposed to go around mass murdering the Hans in a few year after getting kicked from the matchmaker's. And Chinese isn't stupid. You don't speak it obviously, so you wouldn't know." He put that scroll away and reached for another. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm halfway through the Lords of the Ring series and I'd like to fnish this thing before classes later." He said, only glancing up briefly when he heard voices from next door.

"He seems pretty..uh, reserved."

Altum sighed and said hello. She looked back at Harriette afterward.

((is the bold thinking or speaking?))

James smiles at her and looks at Harriette too as if for directions.
"Great! Let's go ask if anyone else knows what time class is." She says, and goes to the next dorm room. Knocking on the door frame, she asks, "Do any of you guys know what time class starts?"

Lishian looked up. "Oh. Huh? Oh, class? Um, tomorrow I think? HOld up, lemme check!" He started cmbing throug hthe giant pile of scrolls on the floor. "Sheesh, where's that paper? I had it-Found it! yeup, tomroow. Oh, Hi James." he said, pushing his glasses back up and seeing James also there.

Ash couldn't help but roll his eyes

"Hi Lishian! Harriette dragged me here. Thanks for letting us know when class is." James says before turning to a more important matter: "What books would you suggest?"

Harriette beams at Lishian, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She says. Then she turns to Altum. "I think that answers our question?"

speaking blue is thinking ))

Altum stepped back for a moment, waiting. Looking over at James, she sighed.
