Micah nodded to what the adult centaur said of Ladon and he looked at Vangelis with a serious expression. "While some of the House traits overlap, students are generally stronger in the ones they're Housed in. You belong here. Ladon will be like a family to you, if you let it. Sometimes we don't always get along with our family, but we always come back together."
He chuckled and continued walking, showing Vangelis the kitchenette, the rest of the dorm including bathrooms and showers. They passed other housemates and Kaden made sure to introduce Vangelis to them. There were mixed reactions.
"The stalls aren't exactly horse sized, but out half-giant Rob - actually I need to find him and introduce you two - makes do." he paused at the side door that would lead outside and turned to Vangelis. "If you'd prefer, the gym has open showers. I'm the Phys Ed. instructor here and can give you access to those units outside of normal classes so you can shower more comfortably, if you like."
Then Micah opened the door and led the two centaur out into the garden. It had been cleared of dead twigs and had been worked, prepped for seeding and planting when the spring came. Corinna and Adrian had done good work and Kaden beamed some at the progress their sprawling garden was taking. The berry bushes were already planted and tho they looked dead currently, they promised to flourish once it warmed up. The well was off to one side, a trickle of water sounding from the frozen bottom from icemelt draining down.
"And final stop, this is our garden. We take care of it as a House, everyone contributing as they please. Even if you don't have a green thumb, you're welcome to come here anytime."
