When the white eared Neko left, Izo simply gave a smile of understanding and a unintentional ear twitch as he was complimented. He did always try and make sure his neko features looked thier best with daily grooming, for now though he continued to read his book in the tranquil gardens as his first impressions of the academy rummaged around in his head. It was a very mixed atmosphere with emotions running high for some and the idea of being collared to a human master as a sign of degrading. Some were still 'free' but it somewhat came with the hefty prices of accommodation and the nesscessities to attend. Either way it wasn't a major concern to Izo...more he was going to be so shy that he'd be at this academy with no friends or social life and being confined to his room inbetween classes.<br/><br/>Even back before he transferred here he only had a few friends who were also nekos and had bonded over thier neutral stance to humans. They hadn't been able to attend here though under the risk of not being collared and kicked out due to lack of funds. Thinking about it, this place had a rather harsh undertone to it. What did the teachers and headmasters think about all this? Did they even have a choice? So many questions had come that he had lost his place in the book...giving a annoyed sigh as he closed it "Welcome to the Academy" he whispered to himself.
