Belaria walked quietly down the hallway of the Sanctuary feeling very alone. She had acquaintances among the other students here but her best friends had left a year ago. She didn't blame Kirius and Ephisva at all, though a part of her felt very hurt that they didn't keep their promise to stay with her. It had been four years since she decided to stay and try to find a bond, but none of the kits had chosen her. Kirius and Ephisva had finished their schooling in three years and needed to go off and find a life for themselves. They'd promised to come back and visit but she hadn't seen them since they left. Life got in the way.
And now there was going to be another mass bonding ceremony. After 4 years of waiting she planned to attend but a part of her knew she'd leave without a bond. So instead of focusing on the upcoming meeting she was trying to focus on finishing her studies. After four years here she was becoming quite the learned individual, she hardly needed to attend her classes, but she did anyway, because it made her feel good, except when it didn't...
((Belaria is about 5'2", human, brown hair with blonde highlights and brown eyes...she's currently wandering the halls with an armful of books...))

Kinsi looked around the candidate dorm room she'd been assigned rather dubiously. Part of her still wondered why she was here. There was so much for her to learn still at home, but she still believed she needed a change of pace. She'd been getting nowhere fast for so long it was hard for her to even think about going home to keep trying. It felt like running away, but maybe this place really would be able to help her. The kits here were natural shifters, maybe they had some insight into why she didn't seem able to shift at will. At the very least maybe getting away from home would mean she wouldn't shift randomly at the most inopportune times. Once again she reminded herself that her mentor had recommended she come here. Maybe not to actually bond, but at least to attend classes and learn and be away from home for a while.
She moved to the door and peeked her head out into the hall, looking both ways, uncertain what came next and still feeling deep down like she was running away from something...
((Kinsi is a Dakani, a humanoid dragon-like race from Kilandaia. She has fiery red hair and her skin is a light yellow-orange. She has rust colored points (hands, feet, tip of her tail, tips of her large ears, and end of her snout) as well as red-orange stripes on her cheeks, arms, legs, and back and she is wearing a dress in shades of brown. She has wings, but her family's wings are spectral and she keeps them hidden unless needed. She's in her dorm room but can be spotted from the hall as she's poking her head out to look around.))
