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.

[illuminance]

... If you speak to Mandricardo, be delicate with him.

[wtfox]

Okay! I will.

[unfortunately she knows mandricardo as rider, and she has not been delicate]

[illuminance]

[ dammit. well, lux tried. ]

What do you make of all that we learned today?

[wtfox]

Mm, well... it kind of seemed like the dorm heads wanted to help us, but didn't have much more information than we did.

[illuminance]

I felt the same way. They were able to give us information, but much of it seemed... Unhelpful. Like... Miscellaneous facts that don't help with the situation itself.

[wtfox]

I mean, I guess if the situation really is as unexpected as they made it seem like it was, they wouldn't have answers either. They'd be just as confused as all of us, right?

[illuminance]

It seems to be a mix.

They're aware of us being taken from other worlds, but unaware it wasn't by choice. Aware that we're on campus, but unaware that the campus loops and prevents us from leaving. Each thing they know seems to come hand in hand with a detail they didn't.

[wtfox]

If they're going to be on campus themselves, soon, they'll be able to see the looping for themselves, right?

...wait, no, but they should have seen it already when they were dropping off the welcome baskets.
