That and she wasn't used to being surrounded by...a lot. Her social battery had drained.

Taking a walk outside, she drifted towards the fountain. She's always thought it was an interesting thing, but never dared get near it. Something about the cherubs and dragons made the hairs at the back of her neck stand. Were they staring at her? No. She had to be imagining it. Either way, she fished out a coin and tossed it into the fountain as an offering. Maybe a little sacrifice would make them not look at her.

Her coin never made it into the fountain. Her throwing skills were terrible and ended up bouncing off a boy standing near it. Embarrassed, Yulietta covered her face in her hands, face flushing.

Just. Her. Luck.

Kenneth was frowning at the fountain, still trying to determine the breed of dragon that had been carved. Or maybe it wasn't a real breed at all? He would be disappointed if that were the case, as he preferred realistic art to things that were completely imagined.

He'd shoved his hands in his trouser pockets, wondering if he had a spare sickle to toss in, when something bounced off his back.

Turning to see, he immediately spotted what he guessed was another student, face covered. Not 100% certain what had happened, he looked around to see what had hit him. He expected a rock, but was surprised to see a coin near his feet instead. The thirteen-year-old bent and picked it up, quickly putting 2+2 together. (4, of course).

"Did you drop this?" he asked, barely loud enough to be heard from the distance, holding it in the other student's general direction. If not, he'd count himself lucky and toss the coin in the fountain himself.
