Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[bigdamnprincipal]

So, the heat meant that many of the tables and chairs had been set up in the shade, and someone had found outdoor table umbrellas in blue and gold, god help us all. But hey, a little heat never hurt anyone who wasn't a vampire, right?

Ahem. The picnic was open for warm, sunny business.

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Alas, Khadgar only had the pin on his cloak, a simple, functional circle that kept the fabric from falling around his shoulders. "Yes, I just arrived today. I'm Khadgar," he said, giving her a small smile. "It's good to know I'm not the only one who might be feeling a little overwhelmed."

"Just a touch," Margaert agreed, trying not to let her disappointment show when she saw he was free from any sort of signage. New friends were still new friends, even if they persisted in being from faraway lands.

"I'm Margaery." She returned his smile, deciding at the last moment to continue her abandonment of her title, at least when replying to an introduction in kind. "Every time I think I've got this place half figured out, today, someone reveals a new puzzle, and I'm left feeling disoriented all anew. You're far from alone."

"Did the school assign someone to you to explain things? Mine is named Eric, he said he's supposed to be like a sibling. He was very friendly, at least," Khadgar said. "Still, it's nice not to be alone."

"Mine's named Ringo," Margaery said, nodding. "And she's been enormously helpful. Where are you from, Khadgar?"

She leaned forward with a smile, as though confessing a secret. "I have to admit your clothes got my hopes up - I've talked to a few men today who fashion themselves like the men of my home, but hail from faraway lands. Don't you go disappointing me, now."

Oh goodness, he didn't want to disappoint her now, and his voice was a little shaky as he answered. "Um, I'm from a city called Dalaran? It's... I had to leave recently, but where I'm from, it's where the mages are trained," he said. "I don't suppose you've heard of it?"

Margaery, who had expected as much, heaved a dramatic sigh and clutched a hand to her chest. "Not at all," she admitted, "but that's nothing new today, as I've said. We don't even have mages in Westeros, where I'm from."

She reached over to reassuringly touch his arm, if he'd let her. "It's all right. I forgive you if you've never heard of it, either."
