Even with the cynicism she typically favoured, Synna couldn't help but find herself a little awed by the sprawling grounds of the academy.  With a number of austere and official looking buildings, all of the labeled with grand names inscribed by their entrances on plaques or carved into the stones themselves.  She felt a little out of place with so many students garbed in official looking robes around her, her own loose cotton shirt and breeches drawing many passing pairs of eyes to her.

"Um...  This is a double room?  Are you my roommate?"  Synna really hoped the clerk hadn't sent her on a fool's quest to a single that was already occupied but she had no intention of giving up now, not after she'd spent all of her parents' legacy just to get this far...
