I'm glad to hear it!

[but, hmm... she nods and takes a seat on the grass next to her.]

It felt like a lot and not a lot at the same time.

[illuminance]

I hope you're doing well?

They gave us a lot of answers... That raised even more questions. Or a lot of information that was not useful in any way. It was just there.

[wtfox]

Mmhm, I'm alright! I'm a little nervous about tomorrow, but like, who doesn't get nervous about the first day of school, right?

[she shrugs]

Some information is better than none, but still... I wish we knew more.

[illuminance]

[ lux has never been to school, but gets the idea! so she smiles back, hopefully reassuringly. ]

We can hope that tomorrow's lessons will be full of information. It is school, after all. And nothing to be afraid of, when you've already met so many of your classmates!

[wtfox]

Hehe. That's true, you're right! Thanks, I feel a lot better about it now.

[illuminance]

Sometimes it helps to have someone shine light on the positives. There are things to look forward to, and little to fear!

[wtfox]

That's a really good way of looking at it! I'm glad I ran into you.

[illuminance]

Anyone could have provided the same meager service. Truth be told, I'm a little nervous as well, since I've never been to school before.

[wtfox]

Never?

[she looks surprised]

Well - stick by me tomorrow! I've been to tons of them, because I had to move around a lot because of my mom's job, so I can help you out.

[illuminance]

I had private tutors.

You attended multiple schools? [ that's a thing that can happen??? ]

[wtfox]

Ohhh... homeschooled, kind of?

[she nods to herself]

Mhm! My mom is a diplomat, so she travels from country to country for her work. It's not like she can just leave me home alone, so I go with her.

[illuminance]

Something like that.

How lovely. It must be exciting to see so much of the world! [ lux does not perceive how lonely that would be. ]

[wtfox]

...yeah! Yeah, it is.

[illuminance]

I'll be relying on your expertise to get us through it!

[ hmm. to make conversation: ]

Why don't you tell me about your most recent school?

[wtfox]

Oh, sure! It's called Collège Françoise Dupont, and it's in Paris. Students go there for four years before moving on to lycée, which prepares them for either going to university or getting a job.

[illuminance]

Did you like it, there?

[wtfox]

...mostly, yes! Most of my classmates are really nice.

[illuminance]

That always seemed like the best part of attending school.

[wtfox]

Yeah, the people are the best part.

[illuminance]

Can you tell me a little about them? It might be interesting to hear what sort of people attend the schools in other worlds.

[wtfox]

Sure! I made a lot of friends in my new class, I get along with almost everyone...? I'm really close to this guy, Adrien. We work together sometimes, since he's also a model.

[illuminance]

[ since photography doesn't exist in her neck of runeterra, she's very ????? about what model could mean? like she knows the concept but. that's a child? so?? ]

It can be hard to integrate with a new group, sometimes. But after talking to you, it's no surprise that you've done well.

[wtfox]

[god i hope lila gets to teach lux about selfies soon]

Aww, thanks! I think I just got used to getting along with people because I moved around so much. It's easier to make friends if you put yourself out there.

[illuminance]

It's hard for some.

[wtfox]

It takes practice! And that's okay. People will understand.
