"I'm a few rooms down on the second floor." Claude stated.
"I am at the last of the first floor." Leonie said.
"Well, it looks like we are neighbors Leonie." Brandon commented. "Should we drop off our luggage and explore for a bit?"
"Okay. Be right back!" Claude said, running upstairs.
"You'd think the nobles would request the first floor so they don't have to take the stairs." Brandon laughed, unlocking his room and putting down his bags while Leonie did the same in the room to his left.
The three of them met back up and decided to go exploring.
"Where to start?" Leonie questioned.
"It's only logical to start with the Golden Deer classroom, as we will need to know how to get there the most and it is probable that some of our classmates would be there too." Claude answered.
They got to the Golden deer classroom to find it packed with students. Claude noticed some familiar faces in the corner, so he, Leonie, and Brandon went to talk to them.
"Brandon, Leonie, this is Hilda. Hilda, this is Brandon and Leonie." Claude introduced the girl with pink hair and a typical black and white dress.
"Hi!" she said "I'm Hilda Valentine Goneril. I'm not sure why my parents thought it would be a good idea to send me here. I'm a delicate little flower! Just look at these noodle like arms-"
"No, I won't do your work for you." Brandon Interrupted.
"aw." Hilda complained "am I that predictable?"
"no." Brandon said. "I just know when someone is clearly exaggerating."
"well, I don't think she is exaggerating. It is clear that her parents sent her here even though she doesn't have the strength to do a lot of the tasks." said another one of the group, a male with a full black outfit, purple hair, and a red rose on his shirt. "I'm Lorenz, by the way. you will want to remember it. Of course, Claude does."
"Yes Lorenz, I remember you. You said I was unfit to lead the alliance." Claude said.
"That is because you are. You came out of nowhere and were suddenly declared a legitimate heir of House Riegan. We have no evidence that you can lead the Liecester Alliance."
"Well, you will have to wait and see. I promise I won't let the Alliance down." Claude responded.
"I don't believe that for a second. I feel like I, Lorenz Hellman Gloucester, could lead us better."
"Let me know when you have evidence for that." Brandon intervened as he walked away. "Leonie, lets leave the politics to them and find someone our speed. These two look fun! Nice to meet ya'll, I'm Brandon Chorda Emerald."
"Raphael Kirsten!" Replied the taller of the two. He was wearing a shirt that looked far too small and was quite muscular. "And this is Ignatz!" Raphael put his hand on the other boys shoulder. Ignatz had a similar vest to Brandon, with a white shirt and black pants. He also wore a pair of glasses.
"Yes. Ignatz Victor at your service. And who are you?"
"Leonie Penneli. Pleasure." She responded.
"I wonder how classes will go without a professor..." Someone said behind them.
"what? We don't have a teacher?" Brandon questioned.
"Huh? Oh.... yes... well, we did..." The girl responded, but then the girl she was talking to intervened.
"But they got fired fairly quickly after they abandoned us when a training exercise went wrong. I'm Lysithea, by the way. Lysithea Ordelia. And she is..."
"Ma.... Marianne Von Edmund..." The girl responded. Marianne had a fairly normal white and black outfit, and blue hair. She could use some more confidence, Brandon thought. Lysithea was shorter than everyone else, and had a similar outfit to Marianne. She also had pure white hair and sounded younger than everyone else.
"Nice to meet both of you. I'm Brandon Chorda Emerald. You two Golden Deer as well I take it?"
"Yes. We both arrived yesterday, and Seteth said that we are Golden Deer so I guess we are Golden Deer." Lysithea said.
"Well, it's getting late. Shall we have dinner?" Claude asked, walking over.
