After she mentioned someone running past the carriage, Laila watched as Sherry moved towards the carriage driver and started shouting something to whoever it was ran past the carriage. It seemed like she knew that person too, which made Laila worried a bit more regarding how much she will manage to fit in if people would group up together from knowing each other before.
Before she could worry too much about it, the carriages arrived at their destination. She almost jumped out of the carriage as it came to a halt, stretching her entire body properly and taking in a few deep breaths. It was certainly good to be standing on the solid ground again. Only after a moment did she look up and started taking in the incredible view that was the monastery. It looked smoother than any of her adoptive dad's best made weapons, and even gave her a feeling that it would be impossible to take down.
Being led through the inside, Laila caught eye of the smith. While he eyed everyone in the area, she gave his tools her full attention. They were better quality tools than what she had used back home, and it seemed like he was working on, if judging by the size and shape, a short sword's blade. It wasn't shining in any manner yet, but it was certainly clear to her that there a lot of care put into the blade so far.
As they stopped in a courtyard, she turned her attention to a woman, who stood alongside 2 others in front of a couple of beautiful mahogany doors. The woman standing at the front began welcoming them all, introducing herself and giving some simple background and the reason behind the existence of the monastery. It felt both scary and exciting to Laila. Upon hearing the fact that they were hosting all of the royal seats in Musentia, she couldn't help but feel a bit more scared than before. It felt like a confirmation of her earlier fear. All the royalty would just band together and leave her alone.
Except maybe for Alex, who was standing in front of her. She briefly tapped on his shoulder, offering him a smile and a thumb up as further show of gratitude for earlier. At least, Laila hoped he would understand that was what she meant to convey.
The Dean of Students would continue talking, introducing the professors, before diving them into their houses. Sherry was noted to be the Red Chimera's house leader. Laila's glance moved towards the back of Sherry's head. She hoped the girl's 'full of herself' attitude would change with the responsibility in her hands. As the list of members were noted, Laila couldn't help but feet a drop of sweat going down the side of her face. So many heirs to houses. And suddenly there was a mention of her in the Chimera list. If there was any comfort, it was that at least she already knew two others within her house.
Professor Talbot, who had quite the charming appearance, started to lead them in a tour of the place. While trying to stay close to Alexander, another girl approached her, who spoke to her in a friendly voice and offered her hand. Taking in the extended hand with a rather firm handshake, Laila returned the smile "Nice to meet you! Yeah, it's Laila. You're Lapis, right?" She released her grasp over Lapis's hand, moving to walk alongside her. She could still see Alex's back of the head in front of her, but she was sure he wouldn't mind if she didn't clung to him. As a royal, he probably had his own friends to catch up with.
