#anywhere

Earl chuckles at that

"Well... we would likely have to go to some classes..."

"Oh yeah" Zenobia says with a sigh "I guess they're gonna furkin insist." She eyes the library like she's been asked to step out of paradise and settle.

"If we get accepted, though, we can come here whenever we wish. Trust me, I could get in this place after hours..."

"Me too...locks aren't that hard if you know what you're doing" She says

A lopsided grin. "Aye. Uncle Ratchet taught me to keep me out of trouble..."

"Oh me it was a cousin... and it was not to stay out of trouble " heh

Bachdion says "Perhaps Zenobia would like to join us on this part of the tour?" A look to Earl and Zara

"We're invading." A grin.

Zenobia smirks "Sure. Why the furk not?"// Earl nods as well, "Then please, " Happy Zara has made, if not a friend here, someone who shares an interest.

And the group of them head out.

"Earl and I were discussing renting a place - not sure if the dorms would be best, nu?"

"I hear you, you're a whisperer, they need fricking privacy and quiet" Zenobia says "Be like me being in a place that didn't let me improve it. Drive me nuts"

"Aye...."

Earl smiles "We'll find way to make it work"

"Also, mortals mean you gotta keep your guard up, right of ignorance and all that"

"Also true. I wonder if any kin are landlords..."

"Search me " Zenobia says with a shrug

"Well, worthwhile research..."

A glance at Earl. "Mayhaps... a larger place, split more ways... I checked, tis expensive here..."

"Uh huh" Earl says , glancing at Zara, a very brief questioning glance from Zenobia to Zara again.

"I might know a few contacts," Sir Bachdion says "If you wouldn't be offended by a bit of aid, Miss Zara. After all you've done for Earth Runes and it's library, the baroness would see it as repayment I'm sure rather than you being indebted"

"Wait, you work at a library?" Tone of respect from Zenobia

"Aye. An Eiluned's collection, now in the hands of a Lioness. A respectable mix of mundane and magical rarities."

"Huh... any books need binding?" She says

"Mmm... a few would benefit, aye. I would gladly discuss rates."

"Sure, we can exchange contact info..." they move thorugh the old buildings of Vassar , new ones too, but there is a sense of antiquity and heritage here.

earl points out some of the older buildings "Okay, this is so much better than SUNY"

"Aye. So long as they aren't all insufferable snobs..."

"If they are, I got devices that desnobify" Zenobia says

Her eyes sparkle. "Aye?"

"Glue traps , I didn't set out to make my first one, but I got it down now" A smug look from the nocker

"Troubled, " Bachdion says "not so much snobby, but some are troubled." He gestures. There's a mortal girl, putting on a brave face for her mom as they tour a different part of the campus. But wnen her mom looks away, the girl looks scared. It's a big world now, but she's not going to let her mom notice her trepidation.

Zara fiddles with her braid, echoing the strangers expression herself. "Aye"

"Huh..." The nocker ponders "If we see her aroud we should look out for her, make sure she doesn't furk it up"

Earl raises a brow, then gives Zara a squeeze, "I'm sure she'll be fine,and very brave, but yes, she would probably appreciate help"

"Well, it will be different. But change is good."

Bachdion looks curious about something but says nothing else.

A sigh. "This place is beautiful..."

"It is" Earl says. "is it just me, or is there a feminine energy about the place?"

"Vassar was originally all girls. It is co-ed now, but I think still mostly female..."

"And thus frickin Nlightened" Zenobia smirks

Earl smiles at that/"Good feel, Earl. Your Kenning is strong." Bachdion says "That sort of sense will be very useful to you "

"You can craft your own major... they don't have a proper library science one, but that's really for graduate school anyways..."

"So you'll get what you need here ?" Earl says making sure

She nods. "Aye. And they have Victorian Studies. And Jewish Studies..."

"Hey, the Jews knew their stuff, that's why Nockers have a soft spot for those guys they..." A pause "Crap. You're jewish aint' you? And I'm talking about your people? I'm better with my craft" A sigh from Zenobia

Bachdion chukles/ Earl is just happy Zara might like this place, then "We should warn others about Harvard."

A soft chuff. "I am, yes."

"Well.. uhm.. I'm sure they have a kosher vending machine here, if they don't, I got a ex- we broke up on good terms"
