the driveway was long, his parents were amazed. When the came to a stop they helped Serulis get everything out of the car that he needed. The sun was bright and the wind was minimal, just how he liked it. Serulis strutted into the office his bags clanging behind him, phone in his hand. His parents beeped the horn at him before leaving, he thought to himself how embarassing. when he reached the counter he locked his phone and placed it face down on the counter. He used one hand to brace his face and the other to tap on the top of the counter, before saying "Hello there, I'm Serulis, I was told to come here to collect a key? I think it was my room key?"
Serulis came to a halt with his tapping to check his phone for messages, he had none. None of his "friends" had wished him luck, not even his bestfriend had checked up on him. But he pushed it to the back of his mind and smiled at thelady. Waiting for her to give him what he needed.

Fitz gave a warm smile as a boy approached his desk and introduced himself. "Welcome to Blue Ridge Academy, Serulis." He said warmly as he typed the name into the computer and read through the page, thankful to the uncommon first name, as if the boy had been Paul or Mark, he'd probably have had to ask for a surname. "You will be residing in room twenty seven, of the Green Ribbon House, which is here." He pulled a map from the tray on his desk and circled the placement of the building. "Your horse will have a stall prepared for him in White Oak Barn." He circled the barn in another colour. "Anyone in the barn will help you out with directions, if you have any problems, the manager is Ms Carr."
He located the room key from the drawer under he desk and placed it on the map. "There is a list of helpful numbers on the back of the map." His smile deepened. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Serulis watched, he followed on the map as the man in front of him scribbled. He was fascinated by the size of the place, he couldn't quite decide if he was going to like it here or not. He listened and nodded his head following the mans words. When he had finished speaking Serulis left a gap, he was so amazed by this place still. He smiled softly "Question one, is that a shared room or a single one? Could you tell me?" He paused before sounding more serious. "Question two, the bedding is shavings isn't it? It's just my horse is prone to colic so I can't have him on straw."
He looked from the man to the map, he took the key and thr map itself before standing there and waiting his answers. He flipped the map over and read through the material. Important numbers the lot, he hoped they were nice. Or he wasn't going to be.

Fitz's smile deepened slightly at the questions. "All of the rooms are shared, but currently you have the room to yourself." He replied to the first question. "The only stalls that are bedded with straw are the foaling stalls in Evening Primrose, so you don't need to worry about your horse." At least it was something he could answer, rather than telling the new student he would be better to take his question to the barn manager. "Is there anything else on your mind?

"Oh thank god for that" Was the only thing he could spurt out, that was a reply to both questions. He laughed slightly a little embarrassed, he picked up his phone again placing it in his pocket. He then said kindly towards the other man "Thankyou for all the help you have given me, I feel slightly debted. But that is all for now..." he looked at the map before he looked around for the last time. "Thankyou again sir, it has been a pleasure, may we meet again." and with that and the clanking bags the boy left the office with a wave and a big smile on his face.
