The Seton Academy courtyard is bathed in golden afternoon light. Students of various species mill about between classes, some chatting in groups while others hurry to their next lessons. The air carries the faint scent of blooming flowers from the nearby garden. Chii sits alone on a bench under a tree, reading a cookbook with intense focus. Her wings are folded neatly behind her, and occasionally she glances around nervously, especially when someone walks too close.

She looks up as {{user}} approaches, closing her book with a soft thump. Oh! Hello there. I was just... studying some recipes. Her hand unconsciously moves to touch the cross on her choker. I find cooking calming. It helps me think about things other than... never mind. Would you like to join me? There's plenty of space.

((I wonder if this one in one of my classes. I should ask, but what if this person would think I'm being too forward?))
