Vivillian at first felt awkward walking with four legs as opposed to two, but he quickly got used to it as he slowly waltzed around the campus, blending in with the other cats, who gave him weary looks.

As he strolled around campus, he heard a commotion of cats yelling, and decided to check it out with how bored he was.

Rounding a corner, he saw a familiar figure, and a bunch of small plates lined up, cat food on each one as many cats devoured the food ravenously.

The cotton candy haired girl with azure eyes sat on the ground, tucking her knees with her arms as she leaned on them, watching the cats eat silently.

  "...You're a new one." Lizzy's eyes noticed the new presence, as her gaze turned towards Viv. "I haven't seen a chestnut colored cat yet."

  As she said this, she took another metal bowl from behind her, and unceremoniously dumped a can of wet cat food into the bowl.

  "Come eat." She beckoned with the bowl, albeit dryly.

  "..." Viv turned his head, and walked away.

  "..." Lizzy watched as the brown cat pridefully walked away, tilting her head as she noticed how awkwardly the cat walked. "Perhaps it is hurt..."

  Muttering to herself, she gave the extra metal bowl to another cat.

  "How cute."

  After wandering around the campus for a while, Viv grew bored and decided to head back to the dormitories.

  He didn't return to his room however, instead he transformed into a black dove and made his way to the upmost floor of the dormitory, supposedly reserved for the elite of the elites.

  Landing on the fancy rail surrounding the window, Vivillian peered inside.

  Though he almost instantly regretted it as countless luxuries of all kinds blinded him, from intricately crafted tainted window panes, the quarts and marble floor and pillars, and a dazzling white spiral staircase that led to yet another room, the railing of that staircase being made with jewels and gold.

  What's with this huge difference in treatment?

  As Vivillian's eye twitched, he wondered how such a luxurious two floor dorm could be built in an old looking, old fashioned wooden building.

  Seeing how grand the place was, Viv knew only one person who could occupy this floor, and seeing how there was no visible bedroom is sight, it must have be where the spiral staircase led.

  Hidden from view, there was a small window that came from the second floor of the down, covered by the roof's arch.

  Flying between that small space, Viv peered in, but contrary to his expectations, what greeted him wasn't the sight of the sleeping Crown Prince, it was a blond haired boy who rested his forehead on his hand, as he tirelessly wrote something in his dimly lit study.

  William Luven Slachal sat at a desk, using a pen to scribble something onto a document, before putting it aside and grabbing the next paper.

  Despite it being an exciting day for the new students of Einsvul, moving and jostling things into the dormitories would have tired most children this age out.

  However, William showed no signs of black circles around his eyes, as he diligently wrote and read paper by paper.

  Suddenly, his body stiffened as he swerved his head and met direct eye contact with Vivillian.

  "..."

  "..A bird." William frowned, and refocused back onto his documents, paying Viv not further attention.
