Astraea hills was filled with the warm rays of the mid fall sun and a cool breeze that wonderfully contrasted the heat making it a perfect noon for the students to go out and eat there lunches outdoors. The bright blue sky was only partially obscured by cloud cover and the leaves on the trees were all either a deep bronze or vibrant shade of orange and had lightly coated the still green grass of the campus grounds. Walking along one of the many stone walkways about the campus one would see a young woman in a green tracksuit with a single green duffle bag that carried all of her earthly belongings. Her dark black and shiny hair was done up in a tight bun that deceptively hid its true length and behind her thick rimmed, black glasses she peered upon a page of instructions on how to find her dorm room but she was hopelessly lost. Her left eye was a cream colored white and her right was a vibrant hue of emerald and she quickly scanned the campus grounds trying her best to spot one of the other faculty but to no avail. She sighed to herself before continuing her stroll among the campus and rather enjoying the scenery. She continued to walk about until she found herself in front of quite the large tree and just stood there for a moment in awe of it. "I wonder how long it has been here?" She murmured to herself, somewhat losing track of her surroundings.

Two vibrant pools of emerald flickered open in lethargic progression at the sound of a footsteps. A canopy of crisp autumnal blurs waved overhead in the soothing breeze as if to greet her back to the bright conscious world. Lumi rubbed the remnants of the sleepy daze from her face with gentle caramel hands. It was just like her to fall asleep in a tree of all places. It had just been so quiet and soothing up there, and had a unique little sparrow not caught her nature fond eye, she would not be here in the first place. Her coiled fingers flexed open at the absence of an important aid that she could not find anywhere on her face. Realization struck her like a tidal wave, and she heaved a pent-up sigh at the thought. Her glasses had fallen… Caramel lips tugged into a disgruntled frown as she eased herself uncomfortably into a cat-like sitting position on the rather sketchy branch to unceremoniously throw her gaze to the ground. There, resting in a patch of lush grass as a blurry black blob, lens flaring up at her, was her glasses one tree fall away. Great… It was not like she couldn't climb down herself, but being rendered virtually blind without her glasses, that was not a very easy task anymore.
She could hear footsteps she had heard earlier approaching and eagerly searched for the source. Maybe she this person could help her? She squinted at a green and black blob. This was a person…right? She hoped so. “Miss? Miss, I sincerely apologize to be of any inconvenience to you, but may I request a small favor?” She hoped her polite speech didn’t register as strange to the other. When engaging others, it was best to hold them higher as oneself and display utmost courteous behavior as to show respect, or at least that was her strict philosophy. She studied the blurry stranger, wondering what she might look like. Perhaps she was a student? Or maybe a faculty member? She had no idea at this current moment. Hopefully that would be fixed soon.
(Hope this is okay!)

Eva jumped at the sound of someone else speaking and her hearty began to race but quickly calmed down as she told herself it wasn't anything bad and that she was at a school in a peaceful country. She looked to the source of the noise and found that a girl, a student no less was sitting up in the tree she so happened to look upon on her journey to find were here dorm room was. She took in the shape of the girl and all the details she could and easily noticed the girl was stuck up in the tree and could tell she was also missing glasses as the girl was squinting quite noticeably. Eva looked about to see if she could easily spot were the girl could of placed her glasses but tried her best to remain silent, she wanted her contact with students to be left to a minimum and she felt that if she spoke to much she might come off as too friendly. Eva found it hard to find the girls glasses as they were hidden in the grass and seeing them on foot would not be as simple as if one was in a tree. Without saying a word Eva slowly lowered the green duffle and reached up to the girl and took her waist between her two large hands and easily picked the girl from the branch and then set her gently back down on the ground. Eva was obviously a giant in comparison to anyone else here and she was very strong as Lumisade would now easily know. "If your going to rest in a tree you better have better hold of your glasses." She said sternly as she brushed the girls shoulders off. "And perhaps if you were to climb a tree next time.... next time you'd be better off not wearing a skirt." Eva stuttered somewhat as she tried her best to keep a stern look on her face though it was broken by a small blush from what she saw. "If I see you in a tree again you better be able to get out..... why were you even up there?..." she tried her best to change the subject. (Its perfect and thank you for Rping with me I hope my posts are adequate enough but your quite good at this and put me to shame)

The stranger, seemingly startled now, didn’t verbally respond, and Lumi wondered if the other perhaps perceived her negatively. It was all a product of her intense insecurity and lack of confidence in herself, but she struggled to brush the negativity away. This was a different place with different flowers and temperaments. And while every type of rose had the capability of producing thorns, not all would poisonously flower or harbor a lust for blood. The girl’s emerald gaze pursued the moving blobs of color as the stranger began to search for what she presumed might be her lost glasses. Even if she had stumbled across them, the purple haired girl wouldn’t be able to tell. Unless they were accidently stepped on and cracked in the process. She hadn’t broken these glasses yet, and she sincerely hoped this stranger would not terminate their longevity. Not that she would loathe her for it if it did transpire, however. A pair of large hands suddenly seized her waist, and Lumi unconsciously held on out of fear of being dropped. Whoever this stranger was, their strength was formidable. Not to mention, they were incredibly tall, as she soon came to discover when she had safely been set on the ground. The taller stranger chastised her a bit next after brushing her off, reprimanding her to have a better grip on her glasses and to decide on a more appropriate clothing choice before climbing into a tree. She wasn’t sure, but even through the blur that was her poor vision, she swore she caught a faint blush flare across the other’s cheeks at that last part. She couldn't help but blush a little, too, out of embarrassment. Smoothing the ruffled edges of her skirt, she retrieved her glasses, wiped them daintily on her crinkled shirt, and pushed them into their proper place on the bridge of her nose. A tall pretty woman sporting silken black hair pulled up into a bun instantly replaced the blurry haze of colors. She was clad in a green tracksuit and possessed a duffle bag of the same color, but the most striking feature of her was the dissimilar orbs that rested behind the transparent lenses of her thick rimmed glasses. White and vibrant green. This woman was obviously a member of faulty, so the formality of polite speech seemed appropriate on the purple haired student’s part, or so she believed. “…My sincere apologies, miss. This will not happen again, I can promise you.” A caramel hand reached up to adjust her glasses once more, and she swept a loose thread of purple hair out of her face as she proceeded to speak again. She was embarrassed at the reason that would inevitably follow, but managed to veil it with the start of a calm smile. “Ah, I was entranced by a sparrow that had perched in the tree. It was very calming up there when I reached it, and I seemed to have fallen asleep. I apologize for causing you any unnecessary trouble.” She stooped into a respectful bow of apology, the tight crown of curls that ringed her head swaying at the action. “I hope you can excuse my unladylike folly, miss.” (You're very welcome I'm very shy about jumping into role plays, but am very glad that you are okay with me. And your posts are excellent! Don't worry about it at all ^ - ^ Also, I really like your face claim. Sasameke Koto is an amazingly beautiful yuri anime)

"Thats Sergeant to yo!......" She bellowed out before catching herself and another blush crossed her cheeks but this time from embarrassment. "Im...Im sorry.... Im...Im Braum, officer Braum." She sputtered out before listening to the girls reasoning an then shaking her head. "You went and got yourself in trouble because you were distracted? In the real world such offenses would be more then fatal and possibly provide worse fates the death depending on who you run into." Eva was now speaking to the girl as if she was one of her soldiers instead of a student somewhat forgetting were they were. The stern glare never broke from her face as she spoke until she sighed and tried her best to calm down. Her mind was still reeling from being startled by the girls sudden announcement of herself and it was causing her mind to have some small flashbacks. "Were are we currently located? I am trying to find the ST. Lulim Dorms as the dean decided it would be best for me to live there. I am the new head of security though the security is something rather new and im the only one performing it. I guess many of the locals didn't wish to interfere here and i had no quarrels." She suddenly realized she had spoken to much and silenced herself. "Were are those dorms?!?!"
(Forewarning she is going to be all over the place and can be quite cruel)

The woman’s sudden correction sent a frightened shiver up the purple haired student’s spine. It appeared as if she had exercised the improper label. Not miss, but sergeant? As in a military sergeant? Emerald orbs studied the woman’s stern face and she found it believable that such a label would apply. When the woman blushed and supplied an apologetic softer label, Lumi let her frozen features melt into a soft smile. “No worries, miss officer Braum. I understand my folly, and humbly apologize for it.” This woman, miss officer Braum as Lumi now knew her, was a peculiar one. Quick to temper no doubt with a streak of ice perhaps that chilled that seemingly permanent stern glare to glaze her face. Granted, there were a few cracks here in there from bouts of embarrassment, but that cold front had ceased to falter. Not that Lumi had any upfront issue with that. She had dealt with plenty of people before of the same aggressive disposition, and while they never failed to strike a negative cord, she never once lashed out at them or absorbed their aggression. No, instead she patiently took it as it was, like a vulnerable flower rooted to whatever came it’s away. Because unlike the shimmering lively roses that comprised the school, she herself lacked thorns, and that wasn’t always a good thing.
Officer Braum began speaking once more, and Lumi patiently listened. In the flurry of her verbal stream, she drew to the conclusion that the woman was attempting to reach the dorms and was obviously clueless about their location. What caught her interest most, however, was the statement that she was head of security. The purple haired student was unfamiliar with the occupational task, but surmised it must be a new occupation offered by the schools. For what school that this woman might work for, however, she had no clue. Though from what she could infer, perhaps she worked for all the schools? She could only wonder. “Ah, the St. Lulim Dorms? If I may not be of any significant burden, miss officer Braum, I could escort you to their location if you would like. Though if you find me unsuitable, I could seek out a teacher more convenient for the task.” She tried her best to mask the insecurity that had slipped into her calm tone. Being one that lacked confidence in herself, it was unlikely for her to extend an invitation of aid upfront, which was the reason why she had combated it with a back-up of requesting assistance from a qualified adult. Still, she was interested in what the woman’s answer would be. Not that she expected her to select the opinion of having her as her escort.
(That's alright. And I am sorry that this post took a while! >~<)

“A burden?” Eva said as she scrunched her brow before shooting the girl a stern look. You presume to know my intentions do you?” Eva said with her usual stern gaze. She placed her free hand on her own hip and lowered her head so she could see eye to eye with the younger girl. Her green eye though bright and vibrant seemed to be lifeless and cold while her white eye, her blind eye was filled with visions of horror and sadness. Her eyes gave away more then words but at the moment there was more to do. “Young lady I think as an adult I am more then capable of deciding who I want to help me and I asked you first did I not? So do not presume to know my intentions understood? In fact do not presume to think anyone would not require your aid. If anything you should want to help anyone who needs it weather they want it or not, do you understand?” She finished her words which seamed to speak of Lumi well even though her words themselves were cold.

Lumi returned her stern gaze with a calm one. The woman’s eyes seemed to be clouded with a sort of conflicted turmoil, and she noted that the pale one must be sightless. She felt a pang of pity for her, though she kept it masked by her signature tranquility. Officer Braum’s words slipped out as cold, yet edged a note of positivity of purple haired girl. Caramel lips twitching in the effort of upholding their placid smile, she nodded in heed of them. “Yes, I understand, miss officer Braum. My apologies.” The bow that she gave after the vocalization of the last word was subtle; a slight decline of the knees accompanied by a lowering of the head. When she rose from its depth, she adjusted her glasses before casting her emerald gaze in the adjacent direction, keeping her peripherals on the woman.
“If it is the dorms you are looking for, they are in that direction not too far from this location.” She took a few steps in said direction as she spoke, stopping for a second to face officer Braum once more. A few threads of purple hair slipped from her elaborate curls and she swiped them back into place with a gentle flick of her wrist. “All the dorms are connected in one large triangle, and St. Lulim’s is on one side.”

Eva was happy to now know were the dorms were but knew if she was to go by herself she would likely still get lost as even though she would never admit it she easily would get lost as she was easily distracted by wonderful sights and beautiful scenery and this school had plenty of that. “Well young lady... are you going to lead the way or are you going to leave me to my own?” she asked raising a brow before shouldering her bag once again. “Finnish the job little one and show me were illo be living for now or are you to busy climbing trees after birds to do that?” She asked raising her brow even higher before she turned and awaited the response of Lumi. “Ive never seen a school quite like this.... I was raised in the US so schooling wasnt to important.”

“Ah, my apologies, miss officer Braum.” She watched the woman gather her bag, a rosy heat of embarrassment flaring across her tan cheeks when she brought up her situation with the tree once more. She brought a small caramel hand up to her face in an attempt to veil it, letting her slender fingers graze past a blush dyed cheek. “Ah, um, y-yes, right away.”
The rosy suffusion quickly drained from her skin as she began walking. Though she was quite new herself, she had occupied herself with learning the locations of Astrea the first few days, and had thus possessed adequate knowledge of the campus’s layout and where everything existed. It had been a bit of a challenging feat, however, as St. Lulim’s rose garden had encompassed most of her time. Roses made far better company for people, to her. Though both possessed betraying thorns all the same. Lumi glanced back at the woman as she lead the way, interested to hear that she was unfamiliar to such a school. Not that she was used to any institutes like Astrea herself, being raised for an exceptional majority of time in a rough part of India.
“Neither have I. It is quite a unique school.” She stumbled in a bout of fragile clumsiness and paused for a split second to recompose herself and adjust her glasses before continuing. “If you do not mind my curiosity, miss office Braum, may I ask what schooling is like in the US?” Although, it may not be her place to ask, she simply could not help it. She had heard a lot of that foreign country, and had never been there, so of course she was a bit curious. The girl waited patiently for the woman’s answer, studying the crisp autumn sky as she walked.

“First you can drop the miss, I work for a living so just officer Braum and as for schools in the US...... I cant really say for all of them as America is quite large but I know the one I went to was designed to fail students. Its purpose in the end was to provide a really high standard of grading that is you were a genius and just spent all your time studying useless info then you would get passing grades but the average student would usually get below average grades because of it. The funny thing is I keapt a lot of friends through high school as the majority of us joined the military......” Eva paused and then pulled the bag further up her shoulder which caused Lumi to notice something. An odd redish stain on the bottom of her bag, for how cleanly Eva seamed it would appear odd for there to be stains on anything she owned.
Eva followed after the young student as a strange thought crossed her mind. “How old are most students who attend here? How old are you?...” she asked curious to the schools situation. She understood this was a form of high school but she also understood that the schools here were much more different then what she was used to.

Lumi listened with intrigue as the woman responded. A school designed to fail students? She had not really heard of one like that before. The one she went to had been small and dilapidated with teachers being neighborly volunteers and barely any funds to run on. Classes were short and the students there would rather encompass their time bullying her than study any of the required material. Astrea was far better. Or at least for now it was. “Is that so? That is an unfortunate school, mis- ah, officer Braum. I have never heard of one such as that.”
The purple haired student glanced back at her, only to discover a strange stain discoloring the bottom of her bag that made her eyes widen a little. It reminded her of something rather morbid, but she decided not to jump to any quick conclusions. Officer Braum had stated she was previously in the military… Finding it inappropriate to ask at the moment, she dashed her curiosity and continued walking, tilting her head back a little when the other asked a peculiar question involving the age of the students of Astrea as well as herself. Lumi hadn’t encountered any students yet to secure a solid answer, so she drew from what she could infer. “The students here range from a variety of ages. I believe the youngest one can enroll in the school is twelve, and the age one should be around graduation is seventeen, though these are just educated guesses. As for my age,” she paused for a second, an abashed smile tugging at her caramel lips, “I am almost thirteen.” She wondered if that would perhaps surprise the woman, as she often heard that she looked much older than she actually was. But of course, that was not the assumed case with everyone who encountered her.
Her mind flickered back to the bag again. While it nagged to disregard it out of not desiring to come across as rude or nosy, something about it ignited her curiosity. But not wanting to be disrespectful, she avoided inquiring about it just yet. Instead, she progressed to a different question of a possible similar nature. “May I ask how long you served in the military, officer Braum?”

Eva listened to Lumi but it seamed as though the girls age wasn't much of a shock to Eva, she was used to working with those younger then her and she had met many who looked older then they were so meeting another wasn't a surprise to her. "Your thirteen huh? Aren't you a bit to old to go about climbing trees?.... or at least in that attire?" Eva asked pointing to the fact that Lumi was wearing a skirt. Eva then heard the girls question and she looked up to the sky as the thoughts ran through her mind. "I joined when i was 17..... so about five... almost six years...." She had suddenly stopped moving as it seamed she had become lost in thought. Memories were returning to her of days long past and she wasn't exactly thrilled. At first it was just the thoughts of her beginning in the army but then the memories of those lost caused her to shake her head and quickly begin to move. "We need to hurry!" She practically barked.

Officer Braum’s response embarrassed her slightly, but no blush suffused across her cheeks. She glanced down at her skirt which was a bit ruffled from walking. “Yes. I suppose I am.” Her response was distant, but not unconfident. She listened with respectful intent as the woman next relayed her accumulated years in the military. That would put her around the age of twenty-three, or so she had calculated. A youthful age for a member of staff. Yet again, she assumed most, if not all, the staff members present at the school were around that age. Officer Braum would be the first of such staff she had encountered as well as the first person she had met on Astrea so far.
The woman’s footsteps suddenly faltered behind her, eliciting a curious glance from the student. She appeared shaken, and obviously discontent. Lumi pondered if perhaps bringing up the military was an unwholesome idea. Many who were discharged from military service after years of combat never seemed to heal completely. There were still terrors beyond their sanity that gripped them without liberation. Such unimaginable suffering. The woman suddenly picked up her pace and demanded that they hurry. While it surprised Lumi to cease walking for a second, she complied without protest as to not aggravate her. “Is something wrong, Officer Braum?”

“What?...” Eva spurted out as if the question was a surprise. She looked about knowing she had more then definitely over reacted. She rubbed her eyes and then looked to Lumi and tried to smile though one could easily tell it was forced. “There's nothing wrong with me understood?” she said calmly as she continued to follow the girl to the dorms. She looked about to get her mind off of things and hoped to not hurt Lumi as this was not her intent though if it did she wouldn't do anything to remedy it.
