The witch in the ad smiles back rakishly, her truly enormous breasts spilling out of her top as she holds up a see-through bag of flower petals in one hand. 

"Heliopolis Ingredients; fertility charms to polymorph hexes, all reagents 25% off in Kiss or in kind! 1 weekend only!"

She strolls through the square, examining the display and the figure depicted with equal focus.

She hums thoughtfully, and produces a notepad to quickly sketch down some thoughts. So many things to buy, even with the meager options she has from her fresh start, here.

Her eyes are finely cut gems. She wears a plain tightly fitted halter top that clings to her rather robust bust, accented with gleaming cyan stones peeking out along the trim and in a suggestive shape tracing her firm abs, with a similarly sexually bent set of yoga pants wrapping around her ass. 

Audrey notices the Luxal woman wandering through the square. She seems friendly, and not too busy - she floats over to her. 

"Um, excuse me, I'm looking for the... student housing board? Do you know where that is?"

My eyes look with hers, for a moment as I take her in, raking them along the rest of her body.

"I believe it's just... here." 

She gestures forward at one of the main buildings - a medium sized space of rustic red brick.

"Regardless, I expect there will be a question desk that can direct us to where we need to go."

"I, um, hi. I'm Audrey. You're... from around here? No, you said you needed to go somewhere too, um. What's your name?"

"I'm Sapphire - a first year student. Like you, by the looks of it." 

I offer my hand to shake. 

"A pleasure to meet you."

Audrey shakes. 

"You seem, um. A lot more at home here than me. Are you from a witch family, or are you just... naturally like that?"

I smile softly, and lock my eyes with hers, taking the time to see if she minds a quick suggestion to let the edge slip off her nerves. 

"It was... bracing, at first, to find out that I am in fact a witch. I'm as new as you are, in all likelihood, but that doesn't mean that I need to be particularly skittish about that fact."

Audrey's gaze slips away from Sapphire's. "I, um. I see. Do you want to go... see about housing together, then? I mean, I don't want to like, move in with you, but, you know -" She looks down. "I want to have some backup."

"I'm happy to help a fair maiden such as you get appointed place." 

I squeeze her hand softly, and lead her onwards.

"Fair maiden? Are you... coming on to me...?"

Audrey retrieves her hand from Sapphire's grasp.

I laugh softly and warmly. 

"That's a perfectly fair interpretation, if you so desire it. The world of the witches is not exactly a timid one, or so I've heard and... seen." 

I nod my head towards the advert. 

"I, uh. I'll get back to you on that one. You said the housing board was over that way?" She points.

I snort faintly, and nod. 

"Indeed. Onwards?"

"Onwards."

There's a witch sitting at a desk in the red brick building, with a long line in front of her.

A half-fox woman is standing near the back of the line, her tails flicking back and forth behind her.

Next to her, a deeply gothy-looking witch is leaning against the wall. She waves. 

"You two looking for registration?"

I nod. 

"I am, and I believe Audrey here is as well." 

"You're in the right place, but you're kinda late. I hear they're running out of house assignments."

"We'd better get in line now, then."

I nod sharply.

Audrey goes and gets in line behind the gothy girl and the fox.

I settle into the line myself, fidgetting idly. 

"I'm glad we got into a reasonable part of the cycle, at least."

"I mean, classes are kind of catch-as-catch-can anyway, it's not a big deal when you join."
