Goodness, Rowan LOVED the dorm. She liked that they got to share with enough people, because she did back home so it would be strange if she didn't get to here. She was still working on making it feel like home though, because everything was so different here, so it was gonna take some time.

For now she was content with decorating her bed. She was glad for curtain rails that went all around it, because they meant she could hang things. Specifically, feathers and charms on long pieces of thread or string. This one would bring luck, and that one was for good fortune, and this one meant she would stay in good health.

Rusty sang softly to herself as she decorated, stood on her tiptoes on her bed so she could reach the rails...

"As above, so below. Spirit and matter in a dance so slow. As within, so without. Great mystery that spirals in and out..." It was one of the songs they sang back home, and it eased the homesickness a little bit...
