Arrival (Lost) //OPEN//

Eddie turned to face Nilo, "Is there a possibility that they're having a school meeting?" That's as likely as the principal skipping town, especially since weird things has been happening. "Anyway, I think we should get out of the hordes before I have a aneurysm." He said to the two in a joking manner, he tightened his grip in Mae hands and closed his eye's. "Alright lead the way." In doing so he moved closer to her as well, for some reason he trusted these people and he wasn't going to question it now.

"Uh, maybe...?" How would She know? Mae had just gotten here herself today as well. Although, she did suspect that the question was more directed towards Nilo than her.

She nodded in response to Eddies request, laughing a bit at his joke. // Good, at least he's getting better.. // She thought. There were still an awful lot of people around, but it was not nearly as crowded it was earlier. She could feel Eddie's grip tightening, causing her to blush slightly, before leading Eddie through the remaining students, following Nilo's every step. "Just hang in there, Eddie-kun. We're almost there!" She would look back at him as she said this, giving him a reassuring smile before returning to scanning the area for the Principal.

When he opened his eye's, Eddie saw that crowd has gotten smaller, which made him loosen up a bit more. "At least it's not as big as it was." Mumbling to himself, Eddie looks over the other students. They all look like normal, everyday people, that lead normal, everyday lives. Somehow, this calms his nerves even more. While escaping the building, he looked Mae and Nilo. Both of them was helping a person she met that day, normally Eddie would have been like "What the hell are your motives for doing this?!" but he didn't feel like they where trying to use him.

It felt weird. "Thanks." It was the only thing that felt appropriate for him at the time.

"Yeah, we're finally getting some room to breathe!" The crowd was indeed shrinking in size, making it much easier for Mae and the other two to move around. "There's no need to thank us~!" Mae smiled at Eddie. "Are you feeling better?" Mae noticed that Eddie's grip around her hand was starting to loosen up a bit. He clearly wasn't as tense anymore, which was good.

"Hey! Is that her? The principal?" Mae asked Nilo, pointing at a bespectacled woman in a grey suit and tie whom was talking to a couple of students. There was this undeniable aura of authority eminating from her.

((OOC: Eh heh... Oops. Sorry, I forgot to do this thread the other day ^^; ))

Nilo stayed silent and led the group out of the thick of the crowd. He sighed in relief at the sight of the crowd becoming a more manageable size to traverse. He looked behind him and smiled lightly to the two, slowing his pace to better speak to them. He blinked, and followed Mae's finger to the lady, smiling lightly at the girl's eye.

"... Yes, I believe that is her. Good eye, Mae." he said happily, going to lead the two over to her.

Eddie sighed in relief when Mae pointed out the principal, "About time..." While moving closer to the principal, he decided to eyed up the women. She looked more like a business women or one of his old clients then a principal to him.
"She looks... familiar." It was probably nothing but he couldn't shake the feeling he meet this person before. He moved behind Mae a little bit, slowing down too.

"Teehee!" Mae smiled at Nilo. "Alright, we're finally getting somewhere!" Mae was a little bit suprised that she out of all people would be the one to find her. It must've been the way the principal dressed that made her easy for Mae to spot or something. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go and talk to her!" Mae started walking towards the principal, but she stopped momentarily at what Eddie said.

"Familiar? How?" She turned to face Eddie. "Uuh, is there something wrong?" Mae gave Eddie a concerned look.
// Nilo said that this woman is the principal, so why is Eddie hesitating...? //
Mae thought. "Well, we're not gonna get much out of just standing here... Just stay close, alright. I'm sure there's no need to worry, Eddie-kun." Mae gave him a reassuring smile, and placed her left hand upon Eddie's shoulder. "Just take a deep breath, and follow me, okay?" Mae said in a cheerful tone as she tilted her head, still smiling.

Nilo looked towards the two, smiling lightly before going to guide them towards the principal. "Don't worry, she's one of the nicest people on the campus." he said reassuringly, "It'll be completely okay." he said nicely, continuing to lead them towards the principal.

Once done, the two would receive their dorm numbers and be guided to the dorm adviser. All in all, the deed for today was completed.
