((If there's spelling or grammatical mistakes, I do apologise. I'll fix it later.))
Klaus swung his leg round the scooter and took off the half-face helmet. Looking up the steps slowly to the doors of the old school, he smirked. So this was the infamous Orchid Hill. The old school building was about half the size of Sir Hargreeves estate, and at least 100 years older. For once in his life, Klaus felt that the next while at the school would be quite daunting, he would actually have to work. Lord forbid... He opened the seat of the scooter to put his helmet inside, the began wheeling it over to a car park he had spotted. There were mainly cars there, which he assumed to belong to teachers, so he was at a bit of a loss of where to put the scooter. Maybe I should just float it outside my room. Eventually, he found a parking space and went back to the steps. He jogged up them, taking in the students hanging around as he entered the door. Close to the main door, Klaus found the reception. A delightful little woman greeted him as he went in. "How can I be of help, son?" "I believe I must collect my information from you, I'm a new student. Klaus Erick Hargreeves," he smiled, drumming his fingers on his thigh impatiently. "Just a second, dear, and I'll find your sheets." Klaus nodded and then began looking around the office at the rest of the students. He didn't know if anyone else was new or if they were just there. Before he could ponder the thought further, the receptionist was back with his schedule and what not. "Here you are, there's a map there to help you too, dear." "Thank you, dear," Klaus said, with an over-sweet sarcastic smile. He turned around and lifted his Armani overnight bag off the floor. This was all he had as the rest of his belongings were being shipped up at some point in the next week. Staring at his map, he exited the office and began his way up the hallway. All he could work out was that his current location was the main corridor and his dorm room wasn't anywhere nearby. In his frustration he stopped in the middle of the hallway and swore under his breath. Not a well thought out plan in a packed corridor and he was soon knocked almost over by a fellow student. Idiot. Getting his balance back and lifting the overnight bag again, which had fallen out of his hands, he looked at whoever had knocked into him, "I do apologise, are you alright?" HA! Vanya owes me a pair of shoes. [/color]

"I do apologise, are you alright?" When Leia heard the voice it didn't register at first that it was directed at her. She'd been in a hurry to get away from the crowds of people in the main corridor and find some peace and quiet that she'd been banging into a lot of people. Not that most of them cared. It seemed to be a situation of every man for himself in the corridors of Orchid. Leia hated it. More than that however she hated when people apologised whenever it hadn't been their fault but hers meaning that she had to stop in the incredibly busy corridor and interact rather than escaping outside for a while. Leia sighed and turned towards the voice. At first she wasn't sure who'd spoken but the guy staring at her was the most likely. She hadn't seen him before therefore he was new. Well even if he wasn't he was new to her and that's all that really mattered. She smiled before answering... afterall, no harm in making a good impression. "Sorry about that, it was my fault... I tend not to look where I'm going when when I'm in busy places. In general I like to get out of them as quickly as possible... I'm Leia by the way."

Klaus chuckled quietly to himself, "How about we both take equally responsibility? After all, I did stop dead in the middle of the hallway." With a smile he took a couple of seconds to take in Leia. She was quite attractive, good dress sense, she seemed nice. Well, if all people here are like this, I think I'll like it... "Don't worry, I know the feeling, crowded hallways aren't exactly the funnest places to be. And I'm Klaus, Klaus Hargreeves. Pleased to meet you Leia," he smiled his slightly charming smile again, nodding his head as a sort of informal greeting now they were acquainted. [/color][/size]

Yeah he was definately new. He was too nice. Seemingly uncorrupted and that smile... though that may be just to put her off her guard? Leia sighed. She really had to stop judging people absed on first interactions. That would only lead to awkward situations. No... trying to withhold judgement... maybe she'd give it a go... "Ok then." She gave a slight laugh, "Leia Morgan. I take it you're new, you look rather lost to be honest. Do you need any directions?" Leia was new herself but she had already been here a few weeks and new her way around Orchid really well thanks to her nightly wanderings. No one stopped you from giong places at night, and to Leia it looked exactly the same anyway so the darkness wasn't a hindrance. Leia ran a hand through her hair and glanced at her watch to see how long until the next meal. It was generally quiet at mealtimes, unless you were in the dining hall, but Leia just went to the kitchens instead, having been taken under the wing of one of the cooks. They seemed to all love seeing her in the kitchens, no matter what the time. She'd even been down in the night once for a snack. Her friends had heard her and came out to help her find something. There was only theone cook who didn#t like her. Alma. She was a crotchety old woman who seemed to have a permanent scowl. Leia frowned. She still hadn't found out the reason why Alma didn't like her... She shook her head and turned her attention back to Klaus, tilting her head questioningly.

"Why yes, I am new. Is it that obvious?" Klaus laughed. He glanced down at his map again which was probably meant to help him, but so far failing horridly. "I was trying to find the dorms, and this map isn't exactly much help. You wouldn't know about the guys dorms would you?" He found himself growing slightly desperate to know where his room was. Although he did not want to go their at that particular moment, it was always nice to know what area you'd end up in. It suddenly occured to Klaus that he still had his sunglasses on, so he lifted them off and, after folding the legs, shoved them in his pocket so not to seem rude.

"The guys dorms? Yeah that's no problem, come with me." As Leia led off, shoving her way through the packed hall, she thought about her first visit to the boys dorms. The rules clearly stated no girls in the boys dorms and no boys in the girls dorms but Leia had seen both in both so she figured she may as well explore. As usual she had gone at night and she had been lucky not to bump into anyone. It seemed to Leia that most of the boys at Orchid snored. Really loudly. Still she had peeked into one of the rooms and she had also discovered that Orchid boys were messy, at least the ones she had looked at were. "Which room are you?" Maybe she would surprise him sometime, turn up in his room or something. Probably not, Leia had a big personal bubble, so she didn't much like invading other people's. But it was nice to have the option.

"I am in..." Klaus frowned and shuffled through the papers in his hand, trying not to drop them. In his confusion about getting to the dorms, he hadn't actually looked to see his room number. He found the right sheet and let his eyes scan quickly over the page for the number. "Room number fourteen, I do believe." After a couple of minutes, Klaus and Leia finally reached an area of hallway that wasn't so packed. He took the oppurtunity to fold his sheets and put them in the side pocket of his bag. "So, how long have you been here?"

"How long have I been here? emmm... About a month or two... I'm not really keeping track of time very well." Leia smiled. Also because they were now in a side corridor, a back way to the dorms she had previously discovered. "By the way, there is an easier way to get too the dorms but this way generally has less people. It's also a longer way, but it's not too bad." Leia hoped Klaus didn't mind having to walk a bit; Leia didn't really see distances the way other people did. Then again she didn't really see the way other people did. "So what brings you to Orchid; I mean, what can you do?"

“Oh it’s quite alright, I’d much rather go a way with no people than have to fight through the packs. Longer routes tend to be the more interesting ones too,” Klaus smiled. He was growing weary of his bag though. It now occurred to him that bringing straighteners, 2 pairs of shoes and his leather jacket may have been too much, but you can never be too careful. He let go off the bag handle and levitated it along beside him. “So what brings you to Orchid; I mean, what can you do?” Leia asked. “Well,” he started, glancing at the floating bag, “As you may have guessed I can levitate, both myself and other objects. I also have telekinesis and am a Psychic medium, with that I specialise in Clairaudience. What about yours?” Klaus gave a small sigh after telling Leia what his powers were. He always thought that he got the bad end of the deal compared to his siblings, well except for Van.

"Ok, I don't have any idea what Clairaudience is, but the others sound really cool! I wish I could levitate. It would be so useful. I have really good vision - I can see throuhg fog and see at night like its day, that sort of thing. But I can't see through objects or anyhting like that. Another gift of mine is air. I can... sense for want of a better word, the sound waves, the vibrations, when people talk. I can pull them towards me or stop them from reaching other people, that kind of thing. I can also walk through walls, or things like that, or let substances go through me... like a bullet or a punch for instance. That one I have found very useful... not for dodging bullets or anything like that but for getting throuhg locked doors... Yeah I probably shouldn't have mentioned that I do that. But hey, I like to explore. And I imagine that it will come in useful being a Spy... Speaking of which, what group are you in?" Leia smiled after her speech. She did love her powers, but levitation sounded so cool... hmm.

"Clairaudience is being able to hear spirits, so for a while I thought I was schizophrenic," Klaus chuckled, then letting Leia's powers mull over in his mind. "So if we were to have a fight, though Lord forbid we don't, then if I were yelling at you, you could manipulate that so I wasn't so loud, and then if I were to swing a punch, it'd go straight though, oui?" He nodded and smiled to himself, "They sound really cool! Extremely practical too. And I'm an Academic. Don't be fooled though, I'm not that intelligent."

"Well not exactly. I as of yet havn't worked out volume adjustment but its something I'm working on. So yeah in a few months maybe. If you did that now though, I would probably just stop the sound from reaching me. I do gfenerally take hits if I desserve them though. I feel its only fair." Leia grimaced when she thought of the first time she'd let a punch go through her. Boy, that had surprised her supposed friend. It had been a wee bit hilarious. "Yeah they have been useful alot. Academics then...can't say its something I would have gone for. But then again, each to their own." Leia turned onto a staircase and started to lead Klaus upwards.

"Hmm..." Klaus mumbled, thinking of how interesting Leia's powers were. To be able to manipulate sounds seemed utterly fascinating. He wanted dearly to inquire further, but didn't want to seem odd. Pulling up his legs and crossing them, he floated along beside Leia. "I only picked it because the rest seemed like too much work. What made you pick to be a spy?"

Leia watched enviously as Klaus floated along beside her. "I guess it was my powers. I figured that they sorta lend themselves to spying ... I mean I cna get into locked rooms, hear whisper... that sort of thing. I suppose it will be useful so I chose the Spies. It seemed appropriate." Leia paused a while before adding, "I also used to want to be a spy when I was a kid... I guess you could say that's always what I've wanted to be. I guess this will give me a taster."

((Sorry it's so short =( I'm epic failing because, well I dunno why. I'll make it longer next time))
Klaus nodded and smiled as he listened to Leia, resting his chin on his palm. "So do you think you would return to your homeland to pursue a career when you're older or would you move somewhere else?" He asked, intrigued by Leia. Most girls wouldn't have spy on the list of future careers, well, except for other spies maybe.
