Keiko KitagawaThe shade of the tree above your bench protects you from the rays of the summer sun as you enjoy your lunch in between classes here in the shared common grounds of RUHA (Royal University of High Arcana) and the WCoA (War College of Astravia), the clang of practice swords rings out from the training grounds nearby where War College Cadets are practicing and the distant explosions of spells being flung inside the training chambers of RUHA.
With each savory bite of your lunch is punctuated by the distant clamor of other cadets and students cluttered around the large common grounds of the institutions, from the corner of your eye, you see a group of Demihuman mages mingling with a group of human Cadets from WCoA.

Hour, Hour! Are you ignoring me?She asks, with her hands placed on her hips, her bunny ears forming a rigid V of irritation and her cottontail, though unseen as she's facing you currently, is puffed and stilled.
I know we broke up three weeks ago, but that doesn't mean we have to be all awkward about it. Besides, it's not like we ended on bad terms...She adds softly, though under that soft voice of hers, you can still hear that slight bit of irritation after spending a month with her.
