"O-ok master." Troubled as she is, or perhaps because she is in that state, sleep finds her soon.

Jacob had left not long after that, and Elia spent most of the rest of the night locked back inside that room. She was harshly scolded at one point for not eating, but the rest of that day had been rather uneventful.
The next morning however was very different. She woke up to find that the important woman from the day before was there, and learned she was someone from the academy Elia would be attending. The woman told Elia exactly what was expected of her, and the schedule she would follow. And she assured Elia that if she deviated from that, she would be severely punished.
Very shaken by the ordeal, Elia just wanted to get the day over with. But when she came out of the room wearing her clothes fron the monastery, things turned even uglier. She was promptly sent back into the room and told to wear the normal Cleatian apparel to blend in.
I'm already off to a horrible start...
When Elia returned, she had indeed changed, wearing a light blue tunic and beige pants, but she still wore her travelling coat. After some negotiating, she was allowed to wear it if she would agree to wearing the Cleatian clothes as her normal outfit.
At least I can take something from my old life with me.
As she was escorted to the academy, Elia pulled up the hood on her coat to try and hide how nervous she was. Her hands were trembling and her legs were shaky. For once, she was more scared of what she did know than what she didn't. She couldn't make others suspicious, or she would pay a hefty price.

This time Jam woke up first. She got on top of Arcturus and started trying to wake him up. "Master, school time. Master? MASTER SCHOOL TIME!"

"Uuhhh..." Arcturus moaned as he turned over in his sleep. "Pearl, what are you doing?"

Placing her hands on his chest, she innocently replies, "Waking master for school. Time eat breakfast and monster fight!... Jam also need clothes new. Jam follow master from here." She waits for his answer in the same position.

Why do you have to sit on me like that?
Arcturus slowly got up and rubbed his eyes before replying to Pearl.
"Oh right. Hopefully we can get some help at school before we go. Professor Rhynn would be ecstatic under normal circumstances, but I'm not too sure he'd be all too happy with me after leaving him at our front door. Anyways, could you please get off of me? I'll see if I can buy or borrow some clothes from the academy."

Pearl looks at him confused, but ultimately does as he ask. She exits the room and heads downstairs to the kitchen where she waits. Only getting up to retrieve her weapons from the wall she left them on.

Wait, I think we have some of mom's old clothes.
After summoning his own clothes from his pocket dimension and putting them on, Arcturus followed Pearl downstairs and into his father's room. Luckily, he had already left, so Arcturus was free to browse the closet for any woman's clothes.
This will do.
He pulled out a woman's tunic and a matching hooded robe from the closet and brought them to Pearl.
"Looks like we're already set with the clothes." he told her as he presented the clothes.

"Jam change then." Disrobing in front of him, she puts on the new clothes and reequips her weapons. She gives him a twirl before asking, "How get school? Jam lost last time looking."

Arcturus felt a slight increase of pressure within his pants, but kept it hidden from Pearl as he spoke.
"It's uphill, I'll show you." he spoke as he grabbed her hand and walked out the door.

Jam followed him happily, occasionally inquiring about the different parts of town. When they got to Grandgold, she brought up the subject of his cat who did not receive food yet again. "Jam talk with cat yesterday. Mr.Fuzzballs not like name. Also say master not feed enough. But cat also say master cook very good. Jam eager to try it!" She beams up at him, with her usual smile.

"I can cook when we get back." Arcturus told Pearl as he looked up at the school. "However, your tastes in food may differ very heavily from mine. Also, tell Mr. Fuzzballs to deal with it. He's kind of a jerk."
And with that, Arcturus lead Pearl into Grangold.

"Wow! Very nice looking place!" Pearl exclaimed as she was led by Arturus through the school. She gets a couple of odd stares from some of the students as she walks by, but she mostly pays attention to the decor. "Not nice like castle, but still nice." She sees a familiar girl, barely recognizable with the hood. "Elia! It Jam! You remember? Master this Cell Girl. How you get out cell girl?"

After entering the school, Elia was trusted to nake it to all her classes by herself, and on time. She was already stressed out, being around so many people and trying to figure out where to go, but things only got worse when the nymph from the day before called out to her, calling her a 'cell girl'.
No, no, this is the last thing I need! If anyone finds out, who knows what they'll do...
"Huh? I-... I think you're mistaken," Elia stuttered out, before taking a deep breath and trying to sound more sure of herself. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get to class."

"Jam not mistake!" She says stepping in front of the girl. "Jam sense Elia spirit. Jam see in cell yesterday when look for Natasha. Jam know cause she have nature power. Jam also no find person look for Elia. Jam sorry about that." She hugs Elia right after that. "Jam also sense much sorrow in heart."

"Wait, hold on." Arcturus stopped Elia by grabbing onto her shoulder but was careful not to hold it too tight. "Pearl, you did mention something about a 'cell girl' last night. Also, I don't think I've seen you here before. Are you that new student that people are talking about?"
She does seem rather shaken. It looks to severe to just be first day jitters. Better keep an eye on her.

"Then I'm afraid your senses are off,"
Elia began to pull away from Jam, and she then turned to Arcturus.
"Yes, I am new here. But I'm about to be late for class," she stopped to think for a moment, carefully choosing her answer, "and I wouldn't want to... make a bad first impression."
There's an excuse about why I can't be late for class. I'll need many more in the days to come...

"Okay." Arcturus replied as he waved his hand at the girl. "My name's Arcturus Galatine, come see me if you're having any trouble."
She's hiding something.
He gave a fake smile as he watched her walk away before turning back towards Pearl.
"Why are you calling her cell girl?" he asked as he brought her towards the west wing.

"Grr... Cell Girl lying. Even if she suffering inside, outside is mean." She turns toward Arcturus with the anger slowly dissipating, "Jam go look for Natasha before know it lance. Jam walk in between houses and see Elia behind bars. Jam talk to her there. Elia say far from home. Hope someone look for her. Jam look into cell girl heart, much fear and sorrow. Very negative in there."

"I see." Arcturus responded with a sigh as he reached their destination. "Anyways, it's my free time right now, so we're going to see Professor Rhynn and ask him about werebats."
He slowly opened the door to find a slightly disheveled Professor Rhynn sitting at his desk reading a book on vampires.
"Professor Rhynn, this is Pearl." he introduced the nymph to the professor. "She's one of the water nymphs from Nivian Lake."
"Water nymphs?" Rhynn replied confusedly as he set down the book. "What water nymphs?"
