The metro came to a slow stop, punctuated by a small squeak and a gentle whoosh of air. An intercom overhead sputtered to life above Lee's head with a small bell-tone.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Welcome to Stowerling Keep. Please follow the arrows to the dorm assignment bureau."</span>a raspy voice spoke with rehearsed enthusiasm as the doors slid open. Lee sat back in his seat waiting for the crowds to thin out before grabbing his bag and walking onto the  terminal. It was harshly warm and humid out, probably to suit the naga population. It felt like he was in the Philippines again. He a gave a small sigh before heading on his way to the housing office. The crowd had dissipated considerably, but there was still a good deal of noise all about. Jouyous reunions, butting heads, clattering hooves, fluttering wings, and something.... else.<br/><br/>Lee aimed a swift back kick behind him. The assailant deftly deflected the kick before stepping a heel into the crook of Lee's supporting leg. He slammed down to his knees and quickly brought an arm up to prevent the attacker from looping their arms around his neck. He quickly grabbed the offending arm and sent his opponent flying over his shoulder. They quickly rolled to take the brunt of the force before spinning on the spot, gripping for something at their waist. Lee quickly followed suit.<br/><br/>"Bang, Bang," Lee whispered in a low voice. Lilly cracked a smile "Really?" she chuckled as she stood and dusted off the front of her jeans. Lee followed her example and shrugged "Consider yourself lucky I was out of ammo,"<br/><br/>"Oh yeah, thank God," she started "If that finger was loaded..." she mimed out a dramatic shot to the head before grinning. She made a show of looking him over before wooping "Damn, you opening for Blink 182 tonight?" She said as she tugged at his hoodie.<br/><br/>Lee outstretched his arms theatrically "The Great 'Carousel of Tears' doesn't do opening acts," he rasped with mock foppishness before letting his arms fall to his sides and chuckling. "What about you?" he was looking over his sister as if considering a car "Decide to get a desk job? Looking to win a big harassment lawsuit?" he gave her an eyebrow wiggle to which she gave a snobbish head turn.<br/><br/>"A lady has to keep up her appearances." she was pulling poses "I am a businesswoman after all," she could barely deliver the line without busting out in laughter. She punched Lee in the arm before turning to walk "Nice moves by the way, looks like that Judo class wasn't complete bullshit after all," she shouted back to him as she moved.<br/><br/>Lee recovered his bag and started towards the office. He glanced around himself a bit as they walked "Ain't gonna do us much good 'round here, what with all the fairies and their fireballs," Lilly stifled a snort.<br/><br/>"I'm not too worried about that, I've got some fireballs of my own"<br/><br/>__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>The pair had been excited to see each other, but questions were starting to pile up in Lee's head. Three years without a word, and then she suddenly appears at one of the least like times and places. He wanted to know why the hell she had disappeared for so long. What was she doing here? His internal turmoil must've been apparent because Lilly let out a sigh "Later" was her only response. Neither wasted their time looking for their rooms and instead headed directly for the common room. The room could fit half a bus of people without a problem. It was populated by a good deal of people. Some of them Lee had the distinct pleasure of watching bumble around like idiots on the metro. He hopped over the back of the couch and plopped down in a nice center-spot.<br/><br/>" 'ey, Bust out some fighting games!" he nearly barked "ain't played one in years man," he sunk back into the couch cushions as he enjoyed the feeling of being without responsibility for a little bit.<br/><br/>Lilly walked to the back of the couch and placed her hands atop it for support. She was less than impressed by all the screens against the back wall "See, this is why you kids have shit eyesight. Who even needs a screen that big?" she made a scene of pointing at a particularly large TV. Lee looked up at her as if she had grown another nose.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Impressive collection."</span>a formal voice rose behind the group,<span style="font-weight: bold">"I've played a few of these before, but my thing is books mostly."</span>he took a seat at one side of the couch before speaking again<span style="font-weight: bold">"Oh, I'm Cam. Sorry, I'm not used to socializing much. I lived with the Humans for a long time and I'm used to being secretive."</span><br/><br/>"Don't think that'll be too much of a problem around here," Lee tapped his sister before motioning at the potpourri gang that had all gathered around the bruised cyclops girl. It was easy to tell who was the ring-leader in that situation. The plainest looking of the group was at the forefront with all his underlings gathered behind him like a litter. "Can't do worse than asking a stranger for a quickie," Lilly's eyes went wide and she leaned down, now very interested.<br/><br/>"Yer shittin' me, really?" Lilly was hungry for the details.<br/><br/>"Not even, he walks up to another mutt blood and goes" Lee straightened in his seat to get the flat expression correct "'My name is Shenra. After we arrive, we should have sex sometime.'" he mocked the formal tone. To his surprise, Lilly doesn't burst out in laughter but instead gives him a smack on the side of his head.<br/><br/>"'ey, he's one of those fuckin', what are they calleds... from those big-ass old families," Lee can't place the name either but he understands what she means. Those families usually had a lot of ties, but a good deal of them had opposition too. The Tong definitely were not a fan of them. Lee had to admit he wasn't either.
