"Yes?" She looked up suddenly, her eyes wide and her heart beating quickly. "Um, w-what is it?"
She fidgeted nervously. Was there something she should have done?

"We are introducing ourselves. Would you like to tell us a little about yourself?" John asked, smiling kindly down at her.
"Um... my name is Posey... and uh... I grew up in a quiet town a little off from here. It's n-nice to meet everyone here," Posey said as loudly as she could. She hoped that was a good enough answer.
Donovan turn and looked at her. He chuckled lightly, not in a laughing at her way but more of a relaxed chuckle. He could tell she was extremely nervous.
Why was he laughing now? Posey wanted to run away. She looked down and fidgeted with the edge of her jacket. Perhaps she was supposed to come off more confident, but she didn't know what she was supposed to do...
"And would you like to tell the group what kind of shifter you are, Posey?" John asked following up.
"I-I can turn into a dipper." Posey said quickly, raising her voice.
Markal nodded, though Tsuka seemed quite confident in his assumption. He looked around his group. One timid-looking girl, a werewolf next to Tsuka, and another girl who'd just walked up. All that remained was the last girl.
Nairn wanted to laugh, the shy little girl was cute, but he could tell this made her even more nervous. So he kept quiet and smiled to himself, still fiddling with his coin.
Donovan decided go talk to her and try to get her less nervous. He walked up to her and stood next to her. "I can see how nervous you are. You really don't need to be so nervous."
John nodded. "The purpose of breaking up into groups is to make you feel more comfortable, Posey and have it be less intimidating than meeting everyone at once. We are going to go ahead and get started on a small tour. If we get the boring part out of the way, we can go for a short hike through the forest." He smiled, pleased by the thought. "Would you be up for that?"
"A-Alright. Thank you both." That did sound nice. The principal of the school seemed nice, too. Posey straightened up a little.
"Hello..." She greeted the dark haired bot quietly.

Donovan smiled at her and held his hand out. "Relax a bit. If you need help with anything, just ask, alright?"
"Yeah... okay... thanks. I will." She looked at the ground and gave a small smile.
Donovan look at her and chuckled before looking at John to see what was next.
"Alright. It seems like we're all ready to go." John put away his papers and with a fond nod to Tsuka led the way towards a nearby building. "Please keep up with me everyone. I don't want anyone to get lost on their first day."

Donovan nodded and followed him, staying close to Posey.
Charna seemed reluctant to approach Tsuka's group but did, even though she still kept an arm's reach away." I'm here. Name's Charna." She held up a clawed hand. She then put her hand down and seemed a little uncomfortable. She did her best not to seem on edge but her red eyes were a little unhelpful. Her natural red lips were set in a firm line and her cat eye pupils were contracted to a thin line.
Tsuka offered Charna a smile before checking her off his list. "Alright, that means everyone is here. Let's head to the Front Office to get all of you registered and issued uniforms and a dorm," he said, giving a pleasant nod as if paperwork were his favorite thing in the world. "Follow me." He turned and headed for the large stone building across the courtyard.
Finn quickly followed after him, loping to catch up to Tsuka, thumping his tail happily against Tsuka's thigh.
