It had been at least an hour or two until the presentation had ended, though for some students, it admittedly felt a bit suffocating, and Kyra just needed some air to breathe in. "Finally out! Gosh, it felt like a sauna in there for a sec!" Val complained, hearing Kyra groan in agreement. They sighed before another purple-haired cat kid rushed up to them in a hurry right before panting from fatigue, it was Frostbite. Val was confused about how tightly the boy was hugging his little sibling, though soon made the connection that the young lad was probably Kyra's brother and an older one at that. "I'm guessing you were looking for her?" she asked, watching how Kyra was absolutely struggling to wiggle herself out of her brother's strong grip as if she were stuck in a hole that was too small for her.
"Yip! She's my little sister, we both got lost in a pretty big crowd of girls a few minutes ago." Frost quickly explained as Kyra finally pulled herself out of her older brother's hug, right before hissing at him as a threat to not surprise her that way.
"Hour actually." she corrected, crossing her arms as Frost rolled his eyes. Kyra and Val then looked at each other, right before looking back at him, though annoyed Kyra was a bit glad that no one was harmed in any way. Though, while the siblings chatted with one another, Val took out her schedule and looked at it closely, reading whatever classes she took for the week and possibly the weekend.
"Hold on Kitkats, what do you both have?" Sunloo confidently asked, showing her paper to the two.
"I think I have Astrology." Kyra answered, though wondering if her straight answer was wrong in itself as she scratched bits of her lilac hair, its recognizable bangs coming down like an upside-down triangle that seemingly covered her forehead. It was a lot softer than Frostbite's bangs that's for sure. Val was a bit surprised by Kyra's answer as she looked at her schedule once more.
"Oh my gosh, I think we're in the same class!" said Val, the two then smiled brightly at one another before Kyra's heels bounced up and down in celebration, it was a tiny habit that Frost always thought was adorable of her.
"That's great, and Kya, sorry for the scare."
"Don't mention it." Kyra simply said, forgiving her brother instantly since she knew that her own sibling had a habit of not thinking that clearly when in danger. Val was quick to point out that the three of them had to get to the clubs, though it was only Kyra and herself, but that was beside the point. The three then chatted again, the two new friends getting along quite nicely as Kyra spotted something odd right under Val's phone, a sort of bracelet that had a pendant in the shape of a butterfly, fitting the young teenager who was more outgoing than Kyra herself. It was strange because of how the shape inside looked like that of a keyhole of some sort.
"Um, Valerie." Kyra started, Val hummed in response. "Your bracelet, I feel like I saw it before." Valerie blinked before glancing towards the bracelet as its thick bangle covered her wrist like a cuff. Her friend was right and she then showed it to the siblings.
"Maybe you did, it's my key-chainl~!" she answered with a shrug, Kyra was still a bit confused. She had heard of the term being used around where she grew up and that it meant something to an Unlocker, but never knowing what for as family never properly introduced her to the subject. So, she felt a bit late. "Never heard of it?" Val then asked, obviously reflecting on how weirded out her new friend was.
"Sort of." Kyra answered as her fluffy ears flopped a bit down in shame as she blushed.
"Key-chains are bracelets that keep an Unlocker's magic sealed until they need to transform again. So, cool magic circle sparkly stuff in a pocket~!" he explained, though Val was surprised that a boy like him knew information like that when she could've just explained it herself. "What?" asked Frost, giving Val a cheeky smile.
