"Yeah, I guess", Ylva said. Judging by her expression she didn't seem to be too enthusiastic about being here. "Well, my stop is right here", she told him. "Thanks for the help."

She nodded to Gabryel and then continued to enter the girls' dormitory. An Imperial and Breton girl already seemed to have made themselves comfortable. Then shortly after her there came another Breton, this one wearing a cowl even though it was complete sunshine outside.

She put her sack down next to an available bed before she was interrupted by Juliana.

"Oh, sorry sweetie, but we have another bed reserve for you", the Imperial said.

"Huh?" Ylva said askingly.

"Well, we've been told about your... condition. And as such we had to make preparations."

Ylva cocked her head and her heart seemed to sink into the bottom of her chest as she saw the bed she was being presented with. Though it appeared to be comfortable and clean enough to sleep in, it was surrounded by some sort of... fence which could be adjusted.

"Mind you, this precaution is only taken by night while you are asleep", Juliana said when she saw how devastated Ylva became. "I am... I am sorry, sweetie. Though the Heroes' Guild is supposed to be a place for all of us sharing the trait, some of us just happens to be a bit... you know... different?"

Ylva felt as if she wanted to cry, but she was then reminded of her brothers. How they would laugh and make fun of her. And her father... he would be so disappointed if she couldn't pull her time here through. Instead she struggled to crack a smile, turning to Juliana.

"It's... it's great!" she said. "Really! I... I love it!"

Juliana was no fool. She could see that this child didn't like to be treated differently like the rest, and could she blame her? The girl was a werewolf and was more likely to rip others to shreds rather than just go and cry about someone being mean to her.

"That's great, sweetie", Juliana smiled. "Don't hesitate to call upon me should you need something."

Ylva reluctantly sat down on the bed, looking with jealousy over at the beds belonging to the other girls present and entering the dormitory. Though she didn't loathe what she was, she found it damning that more than likely would make her a victim of bullying here.

As if I would let that happen...

"And this bed here is for you, my dear", Juliana told the girl with the cowl, escorting her over to a bed with a shade screen. "You don't have any trouble eating normal food do you? No? Then you should be fine."

''What's her deal? ''Ylva reflected with a shrug, feeling yet again that sting of jealousy. Would gladly trade for her shade screen with this animal cage.

The girl uttered an inaudible "thank you" and then just sat there completely still on the bed in the shadows, with her rucksack right next to her.

Juliana then wandered over to Taera. "I... read your papers", she said softly, knowing that the slightest personal information that was spilled about these kids could easily result in someone becoming a pariah. She just wished that there had been a simpler and more discreet case with Ylva and Bethany. "The dormitory will be completely dark after 10 pm, but I could arrange it for you so that there is always one candle lit until you fall asleep?"

"I see", the Guildmaster said bitterly, running his hand through his beard. "An individual with his power can however not remain loose without being supervised. He will stay here, whether he likes it or not."

The grey, old man, cast a glance at Gait. "Maybe you should look after him personally, seeing as you've already made your acquaintance with each other. I believe we have room to spare at the boys' dormitory, no?"

The boys' dormitory was just as well-cleaned as the girls', though arguably more noisy; most of the sounds coming from the second and the third floor. It sounded like heated arguments or just hearty laughter.

As the children entered the door they were greeted by an energetic Breton in his early twenties with a friendly welcome gesture. "Hiya", he said. "Name's Pierre", he said. "I will be your friendly helper and all-in-all. You've got questions? I am your man. You in need of anything; such as books, equipment, or just someone to talk to concerning your training or girl troubles and whatnot, I will be here. Consider this dormitory as your home away from home, yah?"
