"Honestly, I don't know. Water has no rival now and my element might be the strongest. If I lose control of my power, there'll be nothing to hold me back." Saying it out loud made Luna feel better.

Therese sighed before writing a sentence at the very top, suddenly in a very royal-like handwriting. Even her grip on the pencil loosened, as she finished writing. The sentence was written twice, once in Therese's native language and the other translated literally.

Denken in Schubladen bringt dich nicht aus dem Schrank.

Thinking in cupboards won't get you out of the closet.

Beneath, Therese wrote in her own crude writing again.

A saying of my grandfather. Do you get it?

"So they really are going to force the circle thing huh?" Kynik tapped at his plate with his fork, failing to stab a particularly round vegetable that kept getting away. He managed to spear it, triumphantly chomping down. "The students haven't exactly gotten to know each other that well yet. I hope they choose correctly the first time."

The young man glanced towards Sparmi at the head table but continued the thoughtful observation. "It'll suck when the circles reorganize themselves later due to wrong choices." Another vegetable was plopped in his mouth. He wasn't talking to anyone in particular, he had just voiced his thoughts so those sitting nearby could comment if they wanted.

"Still, everyone seems promising, I'm just not sure who it would be appropriate for me to join up with." He had some ideas based on his view of the last couple days, but he wanted to hear opinions from his peers firsthand.

Luna thought about that for a moment. "Hmmm, not really. Say, do you think a circle could be a circle with two people." The words slipped out without Luna thinking about it.

Thalia was sitting quietly at a table of her own, her knife and fork gently cutting up the food into bite sized pieces. This was on of the rarer moments where her elegance and nobility really showed, her etiquette perfect, her posture upright. Thalia never really liked fancy or solemn dinners, but she felt obliged to behave as if she was at one. As she considered Principal Sparmi’s words, she thought about the earth element. Granted, it didn’t affect her, but what about Mira? Surely it would have a huge impact on her….friend? acquaintance? Thalia wasn’t quite sure what to think of Mira, having been out of contact with many people for so long. And what about Kynik? And Tien, Samton, Therese, Luna? It suddenly dawned of Thalia how many people she seemed to have talked to. Thalia sighed. This was getting very complicated. She continued eating in silence, letting the voices of her other classmates drift over.

"Well, yes... trial and error will be necessary." Tien spoke in reply to Kynik. He was having salad, and continued eating after saying what he wished to.

Samton, who sat closely by Tien, was eating his dinner without many words. How many, he wondered, would he have to decline? Most invitations he received were so obvious in their intention to use "the prince", it was almost funny the first few dozen times. As the solicitations, including from seniors, reached nearly three scores, he decided that would be sufficient, and had, from then onwards, stopped sticking by to socialize. Luckily, nobody would disturb him during dinner. They would not wish to annoy him, after all. Rather, he ought to be much more careful after dinner. How wonderful it would be if he could just, look at someone and discern their intentions immediately! Oh well, couldn't be helped. As he kept thinking he continued eating as well.

You'll notice soon enough. Though a circle out of two people won't work, we need to assimilate.

Therese sighed, blushing again and writing down the name of every person she could think of this far. Tien, Kynik, Samton, Thalia, Mira and some others before sliding it to Luna and handing her the pen.

You pick. You've got a better eye for friendships than me.

Luna looked at the list. "That's pretty good, I would say Cherali as well. She was probably the first one I really connected with." She was staring at the list again when she thought of something. "What about names? Do you think circles need names?"

Kynik poked his fork in Tien's direction. "You're not wrong in the slightest. It may be noted though when the groups start rotating it will cause a temporary imbalance. Efficiency gets lowered while the group resettles."

He thought to himself for a moment before speaking again. "It's works best if there aren't clashing personalities. A group could have amazing potential but if they find they can't work well together then it isn't really a team." He plucked at a bright red tomato, letting it burst behind closed lips.


"I am just worried the circles will run into more of those kinds of problems than normal because of the lack of preparation. Some might forget we're not just choosing groups, we're forming teams." He paused again and shook his head. "Or maybe I'm just being overcritical and overthinking it. I would prefer to get it right the first time though."

Thalia couldn’t help but chuckle at the words she heard from both Kynik and Tien. From what she gathered from Luna and Therese, they seemed to be discussing who should be in the circle group. That was alright. Whereas Kynik, Tien and Samton? Well, Kynik and Tien. Samton looked more deep in thought. She looked up at Kynik, and frowned at the very inelegant table manners he was showing, but otherwise said nothing. She gazed at Samton, her gaze plain and obvious, her face blank, as she thoughtfully chewed on a bit of edamame.

Mira cut up her food and ate slowly, the thought of circles themselves didn’t sit well with her. Making friends wasn’t her thing, she had never had a friend before. Especially now she was nervous, although looking over to Thalia calmed her down a bit. ‘She’d want me in her group right? Maybe it won’t be so bad’ she thought to herself while she ate. She ate quite elegantly, using each utensil as it should be used and having good manners.

Klause had eaten his food fairly quickly, wasting no time to find his potential comrades. This part of him wasn’t the best, and didn’t show good manners. Laying an eye on Samton he stalked over to their side of the table and pointed at him “You, let me join your circle. You’ll need me. I’m a doctor, and a good one at that” he said bluntly while disregarding all manners. The fact that Samton was royalty wasn’t the reason he wanted to be in a circle with him, it was that Samton’s circle would most likely be powerful, and he wanted to learn all he could about magic types and new spells. Especially from talented mages. Klause ignored the stares and shocks of a few of the other students around them, not realizing what he did.

Kynik perked up, his attention quickly drawn to the tall man and the sight he'd caused on his approach at their end of the table. He raised a knuckle to his chin in thought, observing what scene was to proceed. 'He's quite forward isn't he? This is interesting.'

"See anything interesting, Miss Feryer?" Samton asked without looking away from his dish. The rather intense stare was hard not to notice, so maybe she wished to say something?

Samton chuckled slightly at the, frankly rather strange, new 'applicant'. "Well, you're rather subtle, aren't you, Mr. Morteum?"

The young man in front of him was doubtlessly Klause, the young and rather tall child of the Morteum family. It was quite usual to hear rumours about him, the so-called 'freak among freaks'. His giant stature had certainly earned him quite the reputation, although not necessarily helpful. A considerable candidate for an ally, though, since Samton did not care enough to fear the Morteum family. It was mostly just fear of the unknown, he had guessed.

Klause hunched over, with a grin forming on his face. “Klause Morteum, pleased to make you acquaintance. There isn’t a disease in this kingdom I can’t cure, or a disease that I can’t make” he announced while taking his hat off. “I’ve heard a lot about you Mr Goldenbach, and I don’t plan on wasting this opportunity. You’ll want me as an ally” he said while putting his hat back on. Klause had a wide smile, not one that seemed nervous but it didn’t seem happy either.

Therese just shrugs, looking towards Samton and Klause, before pointing at them and tapping Samton's name while adding some additional information, this time in a font more similar to typewriters than hand-writing.

#149: Goldenbach, Samton. Royalty, Mage affiliations: Earth and potentially Water. Pleasant personality, very mature for his age [seventeen] and altruistic. Eloquent with words, likes discussing anything.
Notes: A little touchy about pronouncing his name incorrectly.
Caution!: Behavior shows surprising maturity, little to no mistakes or free-spirited malpractice. Hypothesis: Family issues, of the severe kind. While royalty or power has not corrupted him, his past might leave gaps open for insanity to manifest. Contact with caution.

Beneath, she scribbled back in her normal style and taps on her scribbles.
He seems like a good one. Let's try grouping up with him.

"No, no, Samton. Nothing of that sort. I was just planning to ask....something. I just didn't want to be rude, and interrupt the lovely, pleasant atmosphere of this meal. I suppose I just got lost in thought thinking whether or not I should ask my question." Thalia's voice is honest, but the smile she had was seemingly sinister. Thalia diverted her attention from Samton, soon spotting Mira. She walks over to Mira, curtsying as she greeted her. "Good evening' Thalia says, smiling. She listens in for a bit into the conversations around her, before leaning back casually "It seems a lot of people want Samton in their circle. Interesting" she remarks

"I don't really want Samton in the circle." Luna explained, "I mean, do hear all the people who want him in their circle? I'm all up for making friends, but I have a weird feeling about this." She stabbed at a piece of rice to emphasize her point. "And besides, I don't want many social encounters." She winced at her wording. "A pleasant personality is good, but we don't really know what his thoughts are. For example, you probably don't know much about my history."

Therese writes again, this time constantly scribbling and striking things though but the essence was:

I know about your disposition and you don't know much about my background either. But he's the best when it comes to academic success.

Kynik would enjoy the rest of his meal in silence, watching the people around him as he collected his thoughts. He noted a particular banner on the wall, eyes fixed on it for distraction.

He still wasn't a fan of the situation and having to choose so early. He wasn't quite ready to make claimence to friends, it felt like he had barely personally met anyone from their class. It didn't feel right. He'd had less time to figure his classmates out than he did with the Margrave's son and his friends before they ditched him.

A hand folded down next to the empty plate, fork placed in a proper spot. Of the people he had talked to personally, he only knew Xavier, Thalia, Sampton, Tien, Juzi, Riley, Elliot, Mira and Klaus. Based on observation and his exchanges, they all seemed fairly easy to get along with.

Kynik closed his eyes still thinking, practically meditating in place. As an endurance fighter who wielded the sword, it would be easiest to only consider a balanced party. Elliot used the bow, an archer was always useful. Riley wielded the Axe, a potential strength based fighter.

A mage... a mage... Mira... Juzi... He didn't know everyone's elements. Sampton seemed skilled in both his magic and a sword which could be incredibly useful. He'd probably stick with Tien who'd already left a strong positive impression on the currently silent male. 'I shouldn't bother them, they have a strong presence and I'm likely to get in the way when more than just Klaus come storming in.'

He opened his eyes and looked towards the head of the hall, scratching the back of his head. It wasn't going to be that simple, building a balanced team meant nothing when he felt he didn't know them well enough. The newfound problem was only going to cause stress to the 18 year old whose lack real social experience was going to become quite prominent.
Swords... swords and strategy were easy. People were much more complicated.

"An honour, Mr. Morteum. If I may ask, why me?" Samton narrowed his eyes. It was brave of him to approach so early, and be so forward with it. Compared to the usual secretive and scheming nature of the nobility, certainly a step in the right direction, as far as Samton was concerned. Still, to agree or disagree on this alone would simply be premature.

In reply to Thalia's answer, Samton allowed himself a small chuckle. "Very well. If you wish, do meet me after the dinner."
