WHO: Xanthippe Smith and Ashton Hartley
WHEN: 10/24 [backdated]
WHERE: Hydra Dormitory
After meeting with the Headmistress, Ashton made his way to the dormitory that would be his residence while living at St. Margaret's school. He carried one bag with him, whatever it was that Blake the Dragonslayer had packed for him, things he said he'd need, and he entered the building with a cautious cursory look. Having been a room assignment and told to get settled in, he took a slow breath and tried to remind himself that this was just day one. The first in a long string of days that would turn into weeks, weeks into months and months into... How long would he stay here? It felt suddenly overwhelming to the black dragon, the task ahead. The life he'd known was the cavern within the volcanic fissure in Iceland and the city nestled nearby. He knew the old man and his cottage where he'd learned about humans before being passed on to Blake. And now he'd been given so much information, things to process, that he was exhausted and pressed thin by the weight of it all.
Moving inside, Ashton shifted the bag to his shoulder and moved on long legs, his height impressive for a boy who looked about 17 years old. His hair was a spiked array that resembled the crest of horns in his true form, and it was short enough that the sunburst scars behind his ears weren't entirely hidden from view. So far, Ashton had yet to run into any of his fellow Hydra House members, and when he saw someone at the end of the hallway, he hunched his shoulders in what might have been a threatening pose if he'd worn the black wings or scales.
