Lost starts with the letter L!

Making a retreat from the foyer, Lunie practically tried to pull Alicia along the corridors. He was unsure about communicating with the two already there, and an overwhelming shyness overcame him. Of cours,e he had no idea where they were headed next, and his pace eventually slowed to a casual saunter, as if he knew the place by the back of his hand.

He was starting to become accustomed to living indoors, despite the odd straightness of all the corridors. He looked to Alicia, raising his arms in question slightly. "Where is going?" he asked, forgetting their first intention. "S-so many rooms! But I not sure if I wants to enter," he said, nervously eyeing the closed doors. Everything was so secretive here. He preferred his wide open spaces.

Alicia tripped a bit as she was dragged along by Lunie "wha- what's wrong Lunie?" she gasped not sure what has gotten into the feluis. He was so cheerful when they met and when they met Hryshen she wondered why he was hesitant to meet more people but then agian after her outburst with the pe teacher maybe Lunie was just worried she would get upset again, thinking this was the case Alicia smiled.
"hm i thought we were going to a kitchen to find sweets" she replied "i dont know... maybe we'll find something interesting in those rooms" Alicia grinned

Lunie flashed her a worried look at her question. Her analysis wasn't far from the truth at all. After all, meeting Hryshen seemed to hurt her somehow, and he wouldn't want her to be hurt again. No, this time, he felt a desire to protect her from whatever upset her, even if he wasn't quite sure what it was.

"Which room?" he asked, passing various classrooms and dens. He wasn't quite brave enough to charge in one blindly, and even then, he wouldn't know which ones were relatively safe. Blinking, he turned towards Alicia, a question he had been dying to ask. "...Are sweets magic?!" he squeaked excitedly.

Owen didn't know who designed the layout for the academy, nor did he care much. However, if one thing was certain, it was they they were indeed extremely cruel. Corridors, corridors everywhere! Not to mention around three storeys to navigate, and probably more. It was a little too much walking for his liking.

As he heard other voices coming the opposite way, Owen froze. He could either turn back now or try to ignore them and walk past. But in a place as social as this, he knew either would be impossible. Thinking quickly, he leant against the wall casually, inspecting his fingers as if he'd been standing there the whole time. "'Sup," he said coolly as they neared, attempting to make a good impression.

Alicia hummed in thought "well i guess if we don't need to see in the rooms we should leave them" Lunie's questioning of the rooms worried her now, maybe some are dangerous? who knows, this is a school after all. They shouldn't be making strange traps, that could hurt the students, in random places.

"no sweets are not magic im afraid, if they were i would be worried since you eat them after all, ehehehe" Alicia giggled at Lunie's strange question then again there might be some magical sweets out there, not that she's ever tried any or heard of any. (lol hogwarts)

When Owen had spoken Alicia jumped slighly not noticing him at first "oh gosh" startled "... hello" as she realised it was just another person. She looked him up and down "are you... a teacher? or a student?" she questioned shyly holding onto Lunie. Maybe just meeting one other person would be okay, her grip on Lunie suggested she didn't want to run away this time, hoping he would understand.

Hearing that sweets weren't magical disappointed him, but also surprised him. Up until now, he'd figured that just about everything in this academy ran on magic. Perhaps there was normal things too? "I never had sweet before," he shrugged, slightly cut off by Alicia's sudden jump.

Eyes swivelled in alarm to see Owen, and he immediately tensed his hold on Alicia. "Who's he?" he whispered cautiously, as if she would know. He tried to inch away slightly, but found himself unable to flee this time because of Alicia's hold. Reluctantly, he stayed put, still searching for some sort of escape route.

Owen's eyes slid towards them as Alicia questioned him. "Hey there, ladies," he grinned, flexing out his arm in front of him, as if it were a mere stretch. "I'm a..." He folded one leg over the other. "Student." So far, so good. Despite his suave exterior, he inwardly fretted about the next move to make. It was always so awkward with girls....

He held out a hand to shake, his palms sweaty. "Name's Owen..." He looked to Alicia, thankful that she at least looked like a human. Lunie, on the other hand... The yellow creature didn't seem to be paying much attention, and he doubted that it would provide much good conversation. "Whus' yours?" he asked. "...And your friend."

Alicia flushed having little idea how to react. His movements were so peculiar, she was not sure if all humans did this or maybe it was a male thing she deduced. She tentatively took Owen's hand and shook it briskly quickly letting go. "m-my name's Alicia Harper and this is Lunie" she smiled then glanced at Lunie. oh my he seems a bit jumpy Alicia noticed "it's okay Lunie, lets not run away? She grinned showing that she was okay and ruffled his hair
(something she has probably gotten from lizzie even though they havent met in this rp, woo parallel timey stuff)
not worrying if Owen had heard her.

As Alicia reassured him, Lunie tried to confide in her words and offer a curt smile ta Owen. However, he still tried to scuffle behind Alicia, whispering in her ear, "What about sweets...?"

He didn't really appreciate being referred to as a girl either, and he continued to eye the other boy warily.

"Lunie?" Owen made a face at this name, but considering the way the feluis was currently staring at him, he felt it was best to not mention it. Instead, he turned his attention to Alicia. "Nice. What'sis about running away anyway? I'm not gonna beat you up or anythin'." He frowned at the thought. Of course, he wasn't prim and proper, and looked a little less then reliable, but he certainly couldn't consider himself any degree of threatening.

"hm... let's ask if Owen knows where to find some?" Alicia looked back to Owen finding it hard to talk to two people at once "oh earlier i had a scuffle with some people and so we've been trying to run from new people..." trying to explain in little detail "do you know where the kitchen is? we've been trying to find it for sweets" Alicia asked hopefully

Looking away as the other boy spoke, he looked towards Alicia cautiously. She seemed to trust him, so there was no reason why he wouldn't be able to too. However, a feeling of nervousness still remained inside him, for a reason he could not understand. Perhaps these so called sweets would provide the instant cure? Shifting his weight, a his hand slid protectively onto Alicia's shoulder, saying nothing but just watching the conversation.

Owen raised a brow as Alicia described her experience, his gaze swapping between the two. Eventually, he shrugged. "Eh, 'course I know where it is! Ya think I'm dumb?" It was meant as a light joke, but his tone could've implied otherwise, even if it were unintentional. Cringing slightly, he instead tried to turn the conversation differently. "Don't think the kitchen has sweets though. But I do know where you might... find some." Looking around shiftily, he gestured with his hand to point behind him. "I can show you... Jus' don't tell anyone else." He stepped back, ready to lead the way, still trying to sport a smile.

Alicia took Lunie's hand off her shoulder and held it tentatively. She cringed hopeing she hadn't upset Owen "sorry! i didn't think that" she made an apologetic face then looked up hopeful when he mentioned knowing where to find sweets "we won't tell, right Lunie?" she looked at Lunie and gave a reasuring tug with her hand smiling.

Lunie wriggled his fingers slightly as Alicia held them, her cringe causing him to frown. Was she going to be sad again? He held his breath as he stared in her direction, his tail anxiously sweeping from side to side. Was this boy upsetting her? He looked to be friendly enough, but then again, so did Hryshen.

Gulping, he nodded meekly to Alicia and her question. "O-ok." Offering a cautious smile, he stuck close to her, his fur practically brushing against her side.
