We'd just finished our conversation professing a withdrawn and humble attitude, an attitude that all the others seemed trained to take. I suppose experience and age does that. That and the person. It wasn't my place, or it shouldn't have been, I tried my best to treat my thoughts obliquely in order not to scare myself by not being scared by the adult socialising world.

Multiple eyes were still on us when our lecturers for the basic inter world appeared. Administrators. Masked and wrapped in customs that seemed to capitalise their inhuman factors. A way to show off ability- I'm sure.

It worked well, as I looked at the cloud-like first administrator who would be teaching actual basic inter world language. He looked soft to the touch, but intimidating. His quiet soft voice sent a shock down my spine. "Come along. It's going to take a while." he commented dissatisfied, "Don't be so shocked that I won't let you out until you complete class work and homework properly... Unless I like you~". His looks could take the female actress from the classical types of silent movies and turned her into a male doppelganger who stood in a pure cloud. It was unsettling how he seemed so wise in that young body with dark brown hair that was styled with brown eyes.

The second Administrator came to the middle of the stage. They had earlobes that had holes in them and reached their ears, their skin was white and aged. The man also had a hunched back and a bald head. Something charmed me about such a disposition and made me feel sick of myself for thinking of the words 'henchmen'. I watched as he spoke, "I'll not speak much, but you'll have enough work to help you learn intermediate and above in the language." His voice was squeaky and high. A sort of voice that begged pleasantly with the blatant tone suitable for brown nosing. Again, should I be disgusted or disappointed with my thoughts. I felt like I was being too much, even with my mouth closed.

The third and final administrator stood not in front of me. They were right next to me and had chosen to pick me up in a princess carry before walking in front of the other four in my language course. Audible intakes of breath and unnecessary silence filled the room. I had seen this wooden man before who was masked. His mask had changed and his energy advanced a bit, but I recognised him. My realisation made me more relaxed then I should be and I ended up breaking the silence to talk to him.

"How can you be skipping and swimming at the same time? Are you bullying me?" I accused with a greatly annoyed look on my face and my lips almost performing a pout. All done whilst in this administrator's arms.

"Hmm? I don't know what you mean dearest Aeon~" He sang nestling his cheek, which became exposed under his mask through his use of energy, next to my cheek and neck. My eyes narrowed and he giggled happily.

"What are you going to start with teaching and are you going to divide us like the second language teacher for the inter world classes? I'm the worst at the language, especially where literature, history or etcetera is concerned" My voice carried off with me being in deep thought. I didn't move my cheek from the administrator. I didn't care about what the people in the room thought of me and what I was doing. Truthfully the administrator's cheek was warm, giving me a nice feeling.

"Fluent, Aeon, pay attention to your words when using such a lowly language like that. You can be that way with inter world language, because the language doesn't need you to talk to other people to communicate as much. Hmm. I suppose I'll start with you all speaking inter world with me constantly, I dislike other languages and won't be critical with the language especially with those who've reached fluency without proper instruction into the etiquette of the language." He berated me by hitting against my energy shell I had crafted since I've interacted with other people. It was a rather playful action, but more consuming and banter-like from my receiving end. I switched to the inter world as he instructed.
