Incline 13: Osibindah Nin

"Ah, good, you are now here." Frihdeicalkbr said to me as I finally left the gauntlet of abuse I had to travel to get here. Briefly lingering on the doorstep to the brick building I would be staying in to look on at the crowd that made me miserable. They had dispersed somewhat, the attacks had stopped as well, but, I had a feeling that was because of the building being in the way now. Nothing to do with them being done with me, a hurtful prospect.

To see a building be treated with more respect than an individual who was capable of processing it all...

"The guards aren't coming in?" I asked him with some relief, outright glad I wouldn't be in their maliciously incompetent hands any longer for now.

"No, no they are not. As long as you are within the dorms, a lecture or an arcane development facility then they are not allowed in. The compromise we were able to come to regarding their deployment on our grounds."

"Is there going to be an issue with me running?"

"Running?" he said while raising a brow.

"As in, running to the dorm, to lectures to the facilities and so on. You saw how it was out there!" I explained to him before jabbing a claw at the window which gave a direct view of the horde. A flash soon entering in through that very same window before someone ran off holding a device of some description. A camera perhaps? Assuming they had those here...

"Yes, you'd be able to run. But, you'd likely have to avoid any guards which would likely be impossible."

"I see..."

"Anywho, I am here to show you around the dorm you will be staying at, this one right here. I'll lead you to the various means you will have to get familiar with and into, but for now, I will just be showing you around and explaining certain features." he said to me before he tapped the back of his hand on a decorative piece of metal that had a soft blue glow. The telltale signs of magic being involved.

"Am I on my own here?"

"Surprisingly not." he answered with surprise in his words.

"What is surprising about it...? Wouldn't my friends want to share a dorm with me?"

"And they are, what is surprising is that..." he said before he began to count his fingers and mutter numbers, "six, I think? Other students decided to stay here rather than request a dorm transfer upon hearing of your stay here. An oxfuine, another aelenvari and her son, two Ibenorrocons, an Errakurd and a Mogolwali."

Oxfuine and an aelenvari? That, admittedly, made me perk up a little as I was hoping it was Vadei and Thistle... Or whatever her name actually was... It got a little confusing given Rose's involvement before I died.

"You mention seven but say six?" I then questioned him with.

"She came with a seed and it hatched, sprouted, whatever, during her time here."

"I am a little surprised kids are allowed to stay..."

"Oh, speaking of kids, you aren't allowed near any of our childcare facilities, but, I'll explain where they are later with the map I have prepared for you."
