Snippet #2476013

Skipping around the room Miri took the time to study each of the people. They all seemed about her age and she could tell they were all just as shaken up as she was. Miri knew that she looked like she couldn't care less about getting home but on the inside she was a mess. She knew she had to get home before the two weeks were up, she had to tell the queen that it was her who painted her roses red and not her father. Miri knew there was a chance that the queen wouldn't believe her but she had to try, she would do anything to save her father, even if it meant taking his place in the execution. Well Miri was lost in thought she started softly singing a song the Dormouse had taught her. Twinkle twinkle little bat, How I wonder where you're at. Up above the world you fly, Like a tea tray in the sky. Twinkle twinkle little bat, How I wonder where you're at.

"Hi Miri and Greg!! Of course you can call be Ara, I like it better than my full name anyways. I'm going to assume that this is some sort of school we are in? I'm going to guess that there has to be some sort of market or something nearby that has human clothes. Anyone care to lead the way? Miri? Want to lead us since you seem to have the most knowledge on this world?" Miri smiled at Ara and stopped skipping long enough to say, "I don't mind leading if no one else wants to. I'll just need to figure out where we're going so I know which road to take. Hm, maybe a map of some kind would work?" Deep in thought about where she could find a map, Miri reached up to take the hat her parents had given her for her birthday off her head. Reaching inside Miri pulled out a empty teapot and a tea cup out, smiling at Gregor as he said hello and answered with a cheerful 'yes' as she continued to tip the empty teapot over the cup as if to pour in tea. Though tea was clearly not coming out of the pot tea slowly rose inside the cup and Miri smiled happily down at it. Sitting down cross-legged sipping her tea Miri listened in on what everyone was saying.

“I hate to point this out but, how exactly are we going to get these 'clothes'? I mean, who knows just what this wierdo world uses as a form of currency. I dont know about you but I left all my gold in the homelands.” Miri was about to point out that he didn't need to be so cross when Gregor spoke up, "I don't know about you guys, but I don't think it is going to be long before someone comes and checks in on us. And they are going to have to be one hell of a guy to hold us all back. We should get going before they even get the chance. We can worry about how we are going to pay for the clothes later, I'm sure we will figure it out, for now I just really want to get out of here, so if nobody else wants to, I will be more than happy to lead the way." He did have a point, they were in what appeared to be a school, so there must be teachers! As if to prove this point right not even two minutes later a man came threw the door. "Welcome to the Cor Leonis Boarding School, My name is Lee and I will guide you around your new home the best I can." Miri almost spit out her tea at the phrase 'new home' as if they'd be here long. Frowning for the first time Miri looked up at the man as she continued drinking her tea, "New home....yes...And how long will we be staying exactly?"
