It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Giselle. I'm Alric, a new student. Alric Caelegart. I arrived a day early, myself, to begin learning my way around the grounds, and I've plenty of reading material of my own, but the kindness of your offers is certainly appreciated.

I'll be looking forward to the opportunity to get to know yourself and the others better.
