Lurai walked into the headmaster's office. She had a lot of questions to ask and she wasn't really sure what she was doing and the fact that the only other person that knew her was this woman was her only comfort. So when she got into the office she muttered a meek hello in her thick Irish accent. Coming farther into the room so that her presence was better known.

Noticing the young girl enter, Ms. Frost raised her eyes from the paperwork she'd been looking over and said "Hello Lurai...How are you finding things here at the school?"
She knew the girl had just arrived and hadn't had much of a chance to welcome her. This had been an eventful past few weeks, what with the Danger Room session and the holidays that had just passed.

"Sorry to disturb you" Lurai said in a soft voice, her accent evident. "I just was wondering if you were open for a talk" she said looking at the paper work she was looking at as oppose to her. She was a little nervous, after all this woman was the one in charge, not to mention Lurai wasn't the most sociable one in the first place. She was curious about a couple of things and was also just wanted to at least have one other person besides her brother to speak to.

Ms. Frost smiled at the girl and placed the papers into their folder and folded it up. "Certainly, I'm in the mood for a little chat anyway. What's on your mind?"
Ms. Frost asked out of a courtesy, if she had needed to know- or wanted to -she wouldn't have hesitated to reach right into the girls mind and pull out anything she might have a desire to know. "I hope there's been no problems with either you or your brother. If so please tell me."
She folded her hands together and placed them on top of her desk.

Lurai shook her head no. "I don't mean to disturb" she said taking a seat. "But I'm just a little confused about some of the things here. Like, if there was any books here I could borrow, and exactly what I'm suppose to do. You mentioned something about developing out powers?" Lurai blushed a little she felt kind of foolish asking these questions. She just was not comfortable with not knowing her surroundings.
She looked up at the beautiful woman in front of her and just cocked her head slightly, a line drawn across her face. No hint of a smile.

Seeing the rosy color fill the girl's face Emma said "You should never feel funny about asking a question, it shows you to be intelligent enough to put aside your pride. As for books, yes we have many books here, in the Library. It's downstairs, follow your nose. You seem to me one who trusts her senses first before much else and this is a wonderful thing to be sure."
Ms. Frost stood up slowly as not to startle the young one. She reached to a take up a small glass and a pitcher of water that was on the low table next to her desk. "Are you thirsty?" She asked. She watched the girl's movements to see where her eyes went and how her body language would convey things, sometimes reading someone's mind was unnecessary...their movements would tell quite a lot.

Lurai looked up at Ms. Frost and nodded slightly. "So this library is a place you keep books?" Lurai asked not familiar with the term. If there were lots of books there she knew she'd spend much time there as she loved to read very much. She let her eyes fall to the ground. She wasn't very happy, though she wished she was. She missed her home very much and the idea of coming to this place didn't excite her very much.
"So, what exactly are we doing when we try to improve our powers?" she asked very confused about how she would improve being a wolf anymore.

Emma poured a glass of water for Lurai and one for herself. She walked around to the front of her desk and handed the glass to her confused student as she sat in the chair next to her. "Yes a Library is the place where books are kept for anyone to use. I myself have many books here on my shelves, although these might not interest you and you would of course need to ask my permission before you were to borrow any of them. A Library however is for anyone to borrow books and as I'm sure you treat all books with respect you would be welcome to read every book you could find on any shelf of any Library."
She took a small sip of her water before continuing. "Now, as for your powers. I'm certain that you have a great understanding of what you can do. In fact your Mr. Flynn told me that you and your brother can more than take care of yourselves. The problem is not that so much as it is the people who would try to hurt you and others like you."
She looked into the child's eyes and spoke softly so she would know the words were meant to be understood and taken to heart, kept for the whole of her life. "You and I as well as everyone else here at this school are special. We are all the same in a way. We are called Mutants. Some people think this is a bad word, some people think it is a word that makes us better than regular people...but it is only a world that tells what we are. It makes us family in a way, and as a family we look out for one another. Like your brother is someone you love and protect, and how he loves and protects you- we strive to be able to do that here and we practice to do just that in case the need arises...and know this little Puppy~Love, beautiful child....the need will arise."
She paused for that to sink in before she said "There are people in this world who want nothing more than to see us all dead because we are different, because we are Mutants. I will never let that happen if I have power to prevent it, and so I practice with my powers to be able to do my best to stop them...to keep my children, my family, safe. Would you like to practice with us here?"

Lurai took a tentative sip of the water crinkling her nose as she smelled it before hand. This all made sense to her, after all Flynn had told them that they couldn't go out with out covering up their tails and ears. Lurai nodded at the woman. She wanted to become stronger. She'd sort of done what they do here in Ireland with the other wolves. Running and fighting each other. Though she was quiet she was fierce.
The thought of actually fighting others with her wolf like abilties frightened her though. She may have trained some in Ireland but she knew she'd never lose her life. Her ears slagged slightly. She was frightened for her brother and her. This place scared her and she wanted to be home with Flynn safe with the wolves. She felt a tear run down her face. She did not like being here anymore.

"Puppy~Love, listen to me" Emma said softly. "This is the way the world is, and you need not worry here. The teachers and students have fantastic powers and we plan on keeping each other safe."
She reached over and wiped the tear from her little cheek. "You don't have to cry, I know you miss home, most everyone here does. I'm sure that until you feel at home here you will miss your pack and Flynn, all the things you came to know- but you are among friends here, you only have to say 'hello'...Try it and you'll see." She smiled and asked "Are you OK? You need a hug?"

Lurai nodded. She felt oddly comfortable with Ms. Frost, like the mother she never had. Was this what a family was going to be like? She wondered to herself. "I'm scared" Lurai said softly, she wasn't this open normally, but she felt extremely alone at the moment and very vulnerable.
At a spur of the moment she jumped into Ms. Frost arms and started to cry. "What if they think I'm weird because of my ears and my tail" she said crying into her shoulder.

"Shhh- shhh...It's alright little 'Love. Believe me you're not the first girl to come through this school with ears and a tail. Ohh, shhh-" Emma said soothingly as she held the girl and rocked back and forth a little. "and honestly I think your features are quite beautiful. You must know that you are very pretty, don't you?" She stroked the girls ego as she patted her back, her words were truth even if Puppy~Love wouldn't want to belive them.

"I don't know what a pretty girl looks like. I've never really met any other girls besides the female wolves" Lurai said wiping her eyes. "I just don't know a lot about this world and it frightens me. There is so much here that I don't understand." Her ears went to the side as her face lowered. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hands. "It's very overwhelming." She looked up at Ms. Frost with a puppy dog kind of look. "Do you have anything that could possibly help me understand the world. I feel like I've only been exposed to the tiniest piece of the world, and it makes me feel alone."

"Yes actually, we have this whole place set up to teach students about the world. It's a place of learning, and for learning more than just things about your powers." Emma said as she pulled back away slightly, careful to be aware of Puppy~Love's body language, and keep hugging her if she needed it.

"I want to run" she said feeling the need to be running with the wolves again. "I want to go home" she said thinking about how she truly belonged in the forest, not with humans. The only thing that she every liked about this world was the books with pictures and writing. She loved to read and draw, but other than that she could care less about human interaction. "I don't want to make friends, I want my old friends." She thought about the wolves and how she use to run and play with them.
