The regal gentleman is surprised to see Sorin's boldness. Not offended, just surprised.
"Sir will suffice. So let me see if I have a good handle of this. You all said you wanted to do something fun, and rather than, say, playing some sort of sports game, or a trip around campus, he opted to take you all to the gardens, which none of you had any official training or preparation for, without getting any permission from his superiors? I admired your desire to protect your friend, but this is clearly a situation that merit repercussions."

Secus eyes up the stern man, but remains respectfully silent, his hands held behind his back in the cuffs of his robes, and his poster upright. This man is clearly important, and it would not due to make an error of manners, or interrupt what looks like it is going to be a tirade. He does note the sword however, and mentally prepares himself to defend his party should the need arise.

Sorin blinks up at the man in front of him. He can't find a fault with his logic other than that everyone apparently made it out...but apparently that was just a barely thing.
"Oh....well, yeah, that's true....I guess this is farewell Alfa, hope you survive your punishment!" He turned and patted the poor boy on the head, yep, Alfa was gonna die. It was nice knowing him though!

Alfa was initially scared when Sorin came to his side, but he also felt a warm feeling of joy for it. It was wonderful to have someone there to support him, and perhaps if Sorin helps explain the situation, he could-
-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Sorin has left Alfa to his doom. Well, that was short lived
"I-I'm sorry. But! But they got to experience alot of great things about the gardens! They even caught some monsters on their own! I know I shouldn't have taken them without permission sir, but we ended up safe, and I think they had some fun right? . . . Right?!"
The man looks over to the rest of you
"Yes I heard one of you caught our ninetales. That one will be . . . difficult to replace. However, new experiences is the whole point of this academy. All right new students, how did you enjoy your visit to the gardens?"

Uri nods when floaty-sword-man mentions him catching the ninetales. "I can definitely see why the gardens are good for training- it was rough." Seeing Alfa's sorry expression, Uri backpedals a bit "But yeah! Fun. Super fun, I'm glad we went. And yep, the ninetales is part of my team now. I don't think she appreciates it very much, though. Also...who are you?" He laughs at his own awkwardness.

Following the etiquette model of "speak when spoken to," Secus is ready to say his part when the man addresses the entire group. "Our trip through these gardens was a valuable educational experience," he says in a level tone. "Our group was separated; we," gesturing to himself and Sorin, "had a much easier time, but it was still useful as a way to get to know our new partners."

Bedwyr grouses "Torn muscles, heavy second degree burns, mild skin necrosis brought about by heavy solar radiation but that was countered as soon as I dealt with that hit. Fun is not a word I'd put for the trip. But it was a good stress test for dealing with emergency situations so I'll give it that. "

Sorin let's everyone else have their moments while he continues to pet Alfa's head, this was the last time he was going to see him, at least for awhile, he was going to be grounded...probably worse. After everyone said something, he twisted around, posing with his arms held high and his legs apart in an X-formation. "I caught two monsters! And other than that I got to talk with the bee queen and relive my phobia of wasps!"

As the other members of the group continue to enlighten the man with their tales, Sorin was grooming Alfa's head, receiving a good deal of protest in response. Initially he didn't understand why, but that's when he started feeling something peculiar under his bandana. Two spiky bumps protruded from his scalp. He could best discern them as horns, but why was he getting so antsy about them? Even the man looked pretty surprised at Sorin petting Alfa. After hearing the stories, he pretended to not notice it, and continued with his rant
"Hm, early exposure to monsters, positive learning experience, and you already taught them how to catch monsters. This may be a good thing after all. However, I still can't condone your actions Alfa. So as of today . . ."
The rapier flies between alfa's eyes before making contact
". . . These 5 are your responsibility. I'm assigning you as their homeroom teacher. I assume that is all right with the rest of you?"

Uri is so excited, he lets Ninetales out of her pokeball! "Yaaay!" he says to her, jumping up and down. "Now Alfa's never going to be rid of us!"

The ninetales was last barrel rolling in a tantrum before she was captured. When released, she was still doing so, while screaming
"MMOOOOOMMMYYY! MOOOOOOOMMMMMYYY!!! THIS WASN'T THE DEAL!!!! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE PRINCESS!!!"

Uri, nonplussed by the firefox's outburst, continues smiling and jumping up saying "Yaaaaay" while Ninetales rolls along the floor. This creates a bizarre chorus of despair and excitement in the air around the party.

Sorin's eyes widen as he stares at Alfa, that wasn't fair at all, he has ears and a tail, and horns? Sorin was just a human, he didn't get any of this cool stuff and Alfa gets all of it. He whispered in mild disappointment "Aw man, you have it all, don't you? Demons are so cool, why do they get it all?"
Well, Alfa might not be a demon, but if he's a Kin that just means he's the kin...of maybe a monster, that'd be cool too. Then he proceeded to flinch as the screaming finally caught up to his ears, his petting stopping for a moment, before he resumed like nothing had actually happened...he may not be paying attention to anyone but Alfa right now.

Alfa seems significantly different now. No longer flustered, or worried in an adorable way. Just sad. Pure unadulterated sadness. The guy's rapier cuts between Sorin and Alfa, seperating the two
"Let's keep this professional please. Well, it's good to know you're all so close to him already, because I was going to do it regardless of how you felt. Alfa, I'll be sending you transfer papers in a little bit. Be sure to sign those"
"Yes . . . thank you Prince Fionn"
"Headmaster Fionn Alfa. We've been over this"
Alfa looks back over to the rest of you awkwardly
"So um . . . I guess we're in it for the long haul? Y-you guys can go do whatever you'd like now. Feel free to explore the campus to your heart's desire."

Sorin gives out a harrumph as he's shooed away from Alfa,his lower lip quivering in a pout as he's told to be professional. He was keeping it professional, though! They had moments like this all the time back home while on the job.
Sorin's pouting ceases when he hears that this is apparently the prince, well, that was a surprise. And there goes Alfa, ignoring the prince again...maybe he should be reminded. "um...Alfa, Mr. Prince said something about handling...dorm stuff, maybe you should do that before you forget again?"

"Oh, right. How could I forget?"
Alfa reaches into his pouch and pulls out 5 ornate keys, giving one to each of you
"You each have a private room, though the bathrooms are communal. If you'll follow me I'd be happy to show you to them"
And with that you all follow Alfa to a large hallway of doors. It's pretty easy to figure out which room is yours based on the numbers on the door. Each seems to be one well sized room with a desk, bed, closet, and papers detailing all the rules of the academy.

In order to follow Alfa to his room, Uri is forced to return ninetales because she simply refuses to function. Then, he follows Alfa to his door, turns the lock with his fancy new key, and throws the door open with a sweeping gesture! It's beautiful, he thinks, honestly still mystified that he's even here at Windrider's. Uri picks Moxi up and places her on the bed, then he sits down next to her. He suddenly realizes how tired he is. Maybe a nap?
But first... Uri releases ninetales from her ball. She continues kicking, screaming, and rolling. After watching her for a few seconds, then locking eyes with Moxi and shaking his head, Uri flashes at the fox. "Listen! I'm sorry you don't like that you're on my team now. But that's the way it is, and I think it's time to accept that. So please, stop throwing a fit already. For someone who wants to be treated like a Princess, you sure don't act like one!"

Secus opens the door to his room, and steps inside, holding the door open so Parasect is able to follow him in. The space is about the size, if not larger than the tree house he had previously lived in, but with a few more amenities. The bed would certainly be something to get used to. He had slept on a this cot before coming here, and had roughly the same experience on his journey to Windrider's Academy. Noting the wooden desk, he eyes Parasect skeptically. "We are going to live in this room," he says, turning to the crab. "Please do not eat the furnishings."
He also removes the rules documents from the desk, and sits cross-legged on the floor to read them. As he does, he remembers, "Also," still speaking to Parasect, "some of the others have given their partners names. Would you like me to do the same? I have a suitable candidate in mind, I think."

The fox abruptly stops, and sits up making direct eye contact with Uri. Her eyes are no longer filled with tears, and her wailing has ceased. She cocks her head to the right
"I'm sorry, who are you again?"
Parasect slowly closes his mouth right before chewing on the desk, and waddles back to Secus
"I'd be happy with whatever you'd like. As long as it's not ironic, or some sort of pun."

Uri is taken aback by the abrupt change in pace, plus firefox's complete unfamiliarity...but no matter, he has her attention now! "Uhhh...aherm, okay, yes- hi. My name is Uri. You're right, we haven't been introduced. I'm a light mage." he says with a smile. "And, as of today, we're on a team together with Moxi here." he looks over at the cherubi, who's chilling next to him on the bed. Then, he looks back at the fox expectantly. His eyebrows are raised, and his mouth is slightly grinning with the most convincing expression of innocence he can muster. Come on, let's be friendly...
