"Ok just mimic what I do. Try to keep the pressure even." Grieves said grabbing a delicious looking piece of chicken and lifting it up. "It doesnt take much pressure, just enough to grip it"

Nioelle smiled and moved next to Shinu.

I got lost trying to find this! The Garden's bigger than I thought it was!

Maybe later on today I'll show you the rest. Not too much more for us to see though. The only thing I haven't showed you is the monster range. I'm not so sure that's the best place to go on a full stomach. But I could show you me and John's room!

Shinu looked over at John and Kairi, he was glad his roommate was a good guy. They would have a nice year sharing a room.

Nioelle nodded.

Okay! And I can show you my room, too!

Nioelle paused to finish the last of her chicken before pushing the plate in front of her.

"ah i got it." she said shakily pulling a piece of fish up to her mouth and smiling

"yum!" she said and smiled brightly at him after swallowing

"thank you so much. im sure i will get better. thank you for teaching me though" she laughed taking another bite licking some salt off her lips after she finsihed chewing

Grieves smiled when he saw her succeed.

"You can only get better." Grieves said as he lifted the bowl with rice left in it, shoveling it into his mouth. Definately not the best manners, but he was very very hungry and it was the quickest way to eat all that rice. When he put the bowl down rice was left on his face. He quickly rubbed it away with a napkin and laughed.

"So what are you studying here?"

"eehh..." she said and pulled another piece into her mouth and blinked at the question

she swallowed and blinked "healing." she smiled

"what about you?" she asked and smiled pushing one of the longer strands of hair behind her pointy ears

"Healing? Thats a great field to be in. To be honest I wish my study was as honorable as that." Grieves said reclining in his chair a bit more, "I study blades. How to wield them, make them. Mostly know how to use them."

Grieves couldnt help but smile, even though his area of study was a very violent one.

I'd love to!

Shinu smiled and listened to Kairi and Johnathan learn more about each other.

You two should be friends! Johnathan likes to beat things up, and things beat him up some too, from the look of it anyways. We could sure use you around though, our missions are tough and dangerous. Good thing Johnathan is here, he's our leading blade specialist.

A half wink was aimed at Johnathan. It was certain he knew what Shinu was doing already.

As if that weren't enough, Nioelle is studying magic, so with these two around, Balamb Garden has nothing to fear!

"ah. well im here to make sure if you end up knicking yourself i can fix it" she smiled "i would like to do all i can to help so..." she blushed

"please do come to me if you get a wound. it would be good practice for me" she said and smiled

"i spend alot of time down at the sparing ring just in case of accidents. its like my own personal excersizes" she smiled her eyes shinning at the thought of healing. it was her true passion
