Anna was just hanging up a poster of a litter of kittens tumbling out of a Converse shoe when she heard the knock on the door. She wondered who it was. Sure, the first thought was that it was Eve, but wouldn't Eve have just come in? Anna was a little bit confused. She stepped off the bed onto the soft carpeting, which felt very welcome on her bare feet.

Her golden eyes admired the intricately carved door as she walked towards it. It appeared to be a mint green, but the color changed to be a bit more blue if you looked directly at it. It fascinated her, but she soon thought about how unfair it was that the Antion got all these flashy things when the Darion were thrown to the sidelines. She let her excitement bubble up to the surface, brightening her expression with a friendly and excited smile.

Anna opened the door to the woman who had bright green eyes, short brown hair, and stood a good few inches or so taller than Anna, but skinny. Upon closer inspection, her appearance caused some confusion. She seemed to lack any noticeable tattoos, though her wings would imply she was a fairy. The faded blue star on her left hand left the wheels in Anna's mind turning. This was a half-breed. Something she had been raised to despise most among the Antion, and something she'd had few interactions with.

However, her now forced, yet seemingly sincere smile remained in place as she stepped aside to let Eve in the room. "You must be Eve," she said in a light tone as she closed the door behind the woman. "Well, this is our room, I guess," she released a tiny exhale with a smile at her awkward statement, trying to force her happiness. "I already chose my bed, but feel free to let me know if you want to switch," she added happily.

Her father had also taught her that Antion were all terrible, and that was clearly not right. So, maybe he was wrong about half-breeds, too? Anna hadn't had much experience with them so far, so she couldn't really tell if her father was right or wrong. She decided to give Eve a chance rather than let her father's teachings get in her head, but she still felt a bit wary.

"So... I got an invite to a party later today, would you want to come with?" Her smile was a bit more sincere as she thought about the prospect of a party. Socializing always made her so excited, but a party was the best way.

Castor moved away from the woman as Juniper sat down near her and stood up, taking a step back to give Kage space. He wondered what was going on in her head, his fiery eyes drifted towards the floor as he considered it. She was a second year, but she seemed to be as much a wreck as a seedling. He didn't voice these thoughts, for obvious reasons, but kept his gaze neutral as he stared towards the floor.

He felt himself begin to bristle and tense at Juniper's description of him, but calmed himself down before it showed in his expression and relaxed his body. He was charismatic, sure. He also liked being liked. He was also used to being liked, but Juniper was testing his patience. Perhaps I should take it as a friendly challenge, Castor thought, trying to think of some way he could be good natured about Juniper's attitude towards him. If he took it as a challenge, then he would have to persevere to get Juniper to like him.

He backed towards his bed, keeping his eyes on the two all the while before he plopped down on the bed. "I'll take some tea, too, if you're making it" he said in a cheery tone with a bright smile. He had always been a fan or every beverage in existence. "That is, as long as it's no bother," he added. Perhaps he was putting on a bit more charm than usual when he dealt with Juniper, but he was really trying here. The man was making it too difficult for Castor to act natural.

Castor's mind wondered for a few moments before he asked, "So... are you guys looking forward to this year? I know I am." He was trying to take some of the attention off of Kage, worried it might be stressing her further. She looked to be relaxing, which he was glad of.
