#〳♕ « support tba » ( DIMITRI. )

[astraeden]

Notice was quick to reach the prince that a new student had joined the Blue Lions, and so he rushed to greet the arrival. A girl by the name of Lilith it seemed- all other information didn’t matter much to him. All that he paid attention to was that from now on, she’d be under his wing and therefore he had to make sure she knows she can count on him.

Yet he couldn’t stop himself from rubbing his eyes once- twice, when he spotted her in the distance. Was she hovering by any chance? 

It…didn’t matter. and he didn’t want to ask either in fear that maybe she’d feel offended by the question. Pretending that he saw nothing strange, Dimitri approached the girl with an easy smile. “Lilith, is it? My name is Dimitri, leader of the Blue Lions as well as one of your classmates.” A quick nod, graced by a warm grin. “If there is anything you need guidance or help with, please do feel free to come for me. I shall do my best to be of help.”

The prince gave her a good once over. Small frame, probably a magic user, but some things here and there were slightly odd- well, odd wasn’t the correct word. Intriguing. And the floating thing was one of them. She was, indeed, hovering.

“Uhm…pardon the…odd question. You are free to avoid it in case it causes you discomfort, but I have noticed that you seem to be able to…float? That is impressive, I assume you must be well acquainted with magic, then?” He tried to brush off the awkwardness of the question, but there was no easy way to ask someone if they were literally floating. “...Gah, ignore me. Well, welcome to the Blue Lions- and welcome to Fódlan as well.”

CLASS IS DISMISSED WITH A WAVE, and with it, lilith bows respectfully to the professor in hopes that the act is enough to express her gratitude for today’s lesson.  she had not been present for it, since it began before her arrival, but the releasing of students from the room is enough for her to feel grateful for the lesson.  to simply know that it had existed.  the uniform is light on her, quite tight on the cuffs of her jacket sleeves so she makes a mental reminder to adjust them later in the day.

the blue lions. a house of honor and chivalry, one of respectful members and those who wish only the best for their classmates.  it is a house that she expected to be put into; conditioned to a promise and vow, one that she would not break no matter the sacrifices she had to make.  the leader of this house, though, is a classmate that she has yet to meet and... oh?

lilith blinks in question, humming at the sound of her name on the leader’s tongue.  without much thought into the action, she adjusts to his height and raises the space between her feet and the ground.  just enough so they can speak face to face, at the proper level of regard.   “   thank you, sincerely, for the offer of assistance.   ”   lilith says, a small smile playing at the bow of her lips.   “   i understand that i am only a classmate to you but please remember that i, too, will assist you in any case if needed.   ”

(   normalcy is quite common here, very different of your home realm.   )   lilith is not surprised when dimitri’s gaze studies her once more.  neither is she surprised when he speaks up with a question instead of a welcome.  the predictability is enough to make her giggle softly, raising a hand to her lips to cover most of the laugh.  she waves her hand to gently dismiss his awkward attempt to push off the topic.

“   no, it’s fine!  hehe, it doesn’t cause me any discomfort, unless it makes you feel uncomfortable in any way then i can walk normally if you would like that?   ”   an arched eyebrow at the note of magic.   “   yes and no.  yes, i am floating, but no, it is not due to practiced magic.  it is simply an ability i transferred between forms.  quite different from magic utilized by mages, i presume?   ”   she remembers, vividly, that it had not taken much to float in her human form at first walking steps.  gravity divided between each form, unable to keep her down no matter certain attempts.

another laugh slips from her lips and lilith clasps her hands, bowing her head slightly in greeting.   “   anyway, thank you, again, for the welcome.  i hope that my presence here will aid the blue lions in any way or method.   ”
