Oka watched Fran gently gather a caterpillar from among the plants, and carefully give it to her, the teenager cradling it in her hands, smiling. As she kept a careful eye on the caterpillar as it slowly began to crawl up her arm, not wanting to cause it to fall, she hummed as Fran talked about she thinks was an imaginary friend?
Then again, this is a world with magic, so maybe this large ant gentleman is actually real. "I see. I hope he's enjoying his retirement." Oka said, smiling. As a young woman who enjoys horror stories and the like, insects were nothing all that scary to her, honestly.

Fran smiled wide at her, she really like the company of this girl. It was the sister she didn’t had. She didn’t have to say much words as she hugged her on the sudden. Maybe it was quite spontaneous or she did it without no meaningful reason. Either way, she make the interaction unknowing if Oka shall be pleased.
”Fran...?” The words of Mr. Midnight had to wake her up as she lowers the hug and she separated with a small shy and embarrassing face, mostly as she say more than any word she can think right now. She looked at her with a thin smile while look away.
”...sorry...” said in mutters

Oka blinked in surprise as Fran suddenly hugged her, but the teenager smiled and gently pat the girl on the back, or she at least tried to before Mr. Midnight called out to the girl and she quickly stepped away. Oka could see she was embarrassed by how forward her actions were, but Oka continued to smile at her. Her mother, Morioko was much like that as well, suddenly hugging her husband and daughter when she was overcome with affection. Her family never minded, though.
"It's alright, no need to apologize." Oka reassured Fran, carefully reaching forward to pat Fran on the head, making the girl saw her hand moving so it didn't come as a surprise.

Fran didn't meant to make such movement on her, it was wrong invade others' space without asking, but the sweet and warmth pat of the girl over her head was the signal to know she didn't do nothing wrong on her. It was going to be hard to understand that thing. She hadn't really interact with other person. She might have a chance with some students around but really a real interaction where she could say it was real. She sighed kinda in sadness.
It feels when her mother was alive. She didn't showed it but she tried to not cry in front of her.

Frowning worriedly at the sudden downward turn in Fran's mood, Oka wondered what had caused Fran to become sad so suddenly. The girl was doing her best to put up a brave face, but at that age, it was always a bit hard to really hide emotions. Maybe she could somehow cheer her up. But first, Oka gently picked up the caterpillar up from her arm and placed it carefully on a plant where it could hopefully eat it's fill, the teenager then turning her attention to the young girl in front of her.
"Fran, would you like to help Mr. Midnight lead me to the dorms? I'm afraid I don't know where anything is yet, but I'm sure a smart girl like you knows the way." Oka said, smiling kindly at her.

“Oh, sure!” Fran smiled at the petition of the girl that was before her, she hide her sadness and replaced with a happy smile as made a cute and soft movement with the head by touch the shoulder. She summoned Mr. Midnight once more. ”Can you accompany me to show her the dorms?”
“It would be a pleasure” Mr. Midnight mews as looked on Oka. “Please, follow me” the cat stretches to walk at the entrance and pass through the door. Fran just walked there, to open the same. Revealing the cat waiting at the other side.

"Thank you, I really appreciate it." Oka said, smiling.
Unsurprised at Mr. Midnight's phasing through the door, Oka picked up her luggage and followed close behind the duo. Shadows often did whatever they pleased, so she just took things in stride most of the time nowadays.

She wasn’t wrong on that last part, the shadows that wasn’t joined at Fran were wandering around. Making small trips using the columns or the visible corners of the rooms to travel by. A few of them looked on Oka, some didn’t even know why she is following Fran... yet they kept a careful and secure vision on the girl if she tries something else against the girl.
”Mr. Midnight, can you tell them there is nothing to be afraid?” Fran asked
“Apologies, but the shadows are here to protect you. Even if the girl is foe or friend, if they see she is going to attack or have intentions, they would rather disobey your command and attack her anyways” The cat didn’t want to sound harsh, but since they are there to protect her. It is quite obvious they are not going to make it easy.

Oka smiled reassuringly at the girl after Mr. Midnight explained the shadow's intentions to his mistress. "It's alright, Fran. If they're just making sure I won't hurt you, then it's fine. It's good to see they care so much about you." The teenager said.
As they walked, the teenager truly paid no mind to the shadows. While she felt these particular ones watching closely, so long as she didn't do anything they perceived as a threat to Fran, they would let her be. Besides, they didn't scare her or make her wary, she's definitely seen some scarier stuff in horror movies.

“I would love if they can listen to me. It is quite hard to find out what are they thinking anyways. Mr. Midnight is the exception but others are more than willing to murder...” that words made Fran quite silent as made a sad sigh about it, yet she keep walking “...just like that night...” she continued with the pathway.
”Fran, the past is the past. You cannot change what you suffered. Nor bring those you love back from the death. It is better keep walking” Mr. Midnight spoke at the girl as small tears can be seen on her face. He looked on Oka “Apologies, Fran had a hard past. Unless she want to tell about it, we remain in silent. Of course, sometimes we envy others due have a much tranquility experience or less hazardous one”
The shadows slithered their way around Fran, like making a kind of circle that look as liquid dancing as she goes.

Oka nodded in understanding at Mr. Midnight's explanation, but remained silent, honestly unsure of how she could respond to that. She had gathered from what Mr. Midnight had said before that Fran had a hard and painful past, very likely traumatizing, so she already decided not to pry. But the fact that Fran practically said flat-out that some of her shadows are willing to kill, and might have done so before?
It did not inspire good feelings. Though, she could just be assuming! Fran might be talking about something else entirely, now, so she shouldn't just rush and assume things. Maybe when Fran's more comfortable with her, she could ask small questions about this. Regardless of whatever had happened though, Fran was upset, upset enough to get tears started and Oka just couldn't bear to see this sweet little girl cry.
Rummaging around in her pocket, Oka pulled out a hankerchief and held out her hand to offer it to Fran. "Here." The teenager said, smiling.

Fran looked at the handkerchief as the girl offered to her to clean the tears that kept falling from her eyes. As kept the walking through the hallways, she turned sometimes around corners and getting up some stairs as well, while Mr, Midnight and the shadows continued accompanying the girl around. She was not making no more commentaries nor wanted to talk back about the sudden small sobbing she did. She crossed around many parts until hit a part where there is a huge area like dinning room.
”Here we are.” She announced with that small and almost sad voice of her “we had arrived at the main lobby where the dorms are. This is the section to the girls, there is one for the boys” she give back the small soft tissue at Oka again with a thin smile on her...The shadows scattered as they reached the entrance while one remained with her as Mr. Midnight.
”May you need assistance to find the perfect place like bedroom to leave your stuff?” Mr. Midnight spoke at her “Anything you desire to be talked about? Pardon me, but I am like the ‘manager’ of Fran with the rules and schedules she might has. It is in my nature help her and help others”

Sensing that Fran didn't want to talk from her silence as they continued their walk towards the dormitory, Oka chose to keep silent herself, not wanting to force the girl into a conversation she didn't want to have. Besides, the teenager didn't mind the silence, her family was a quiet bunch most of the time. Once they were in what she assumed was the lobby, Oka set her bags down a for a quick breather.
Oka smiled at Fan as the girl offered her handkerchief back to her, taking and placing it back in her pocket, mentally reminding herself to give it a wash tomorrow, just in case it got dirty later. "Thank you for showing where it is, I really appreciate it."
"Actually, if either of you knows where this room is, it would help me a lot." Oka said, briefly opening one of her bags to pull out a paper that was sent to her in the mail by the academy, telling her the number of her room in the dormitories and the rules. She showed it to the two.

Fran sighed as she walked away to let her mascot and friend show at the girl where the dormitory might be. She didn’t go away she was around but not very talkative. The cat fused within the shadows to slither its way next Oka. As she mentioned the number of the dorm she was assigned. He took a quick check on the papers as going over her left shoulder to see it better. Then, turn into a much little like keychain size to look the paper as she was holding in her hands.
It took a moment to look at it. ”Oh my! This is unexpected! Seems the principal had made the choice already”
He jumped off her arms and turned into the normal size cat he is. “Follow me. It is not far from where we are” walking at the hallway where the dorms are lined up. Each door has a medium separation in between each one. “Despite how it looks they are spacious”

Oka smiled as Mr. Midnight came up closer to look at the paper, respectfully allowing Fran to keep her distance. If the younger girl didn't want to talk, she wouldn't force her. She knew how it felt, to not want to talk about things, even with someone who was trying their best.
"Thank you for showing me all this way, Mr. Midnight. Fran, as well. I really appreciate it." Oka said, picking up her bags and following quickly behind the shadowy feline. She truly did appreciate it, considering the fact that neither of them had to interact with her, but chose to on their own.
Not many besides her parents and her doctor did that, nowadays.
