It was possible the older girl didn't know that she was named after a car. If that was the case, Arlie didn't want to be the one to break the news to her.

Noticing the change in the girl's facial expression, Arlie frowned a bit. That was weird. And random. Where was she going?

"I've never been to a magical school before," Arlie said, following Cedes' few steps towards the stairs. "Is there anything I should know before class starts? Advice from someone who's been here already?" Hopefully Cedes had been here before. Otherwise, Arlie would feel rather foolish to be asking her advice.

She... didn't know the origin of her name? How peculiar. By the time she could talk, Cedes had already known the origin of HER name. Though it never really occurred to her that no one really cared about the origin of their name. Mercedes figured that names said a lot about people, including the origin. AND their taste in music. If someone liked a rap? Gang member. If someone liked country? Mhm... that was hard to say, some country was good.

"Well that's nice. Thank you. And you can call me whatever you like, really. Though I do prefer Cedes because all throughout elementary school, people made honking noises whenever I passed by. Truly annoying. Don't want to relive that again," she said, smiling slightly as she shook her head. The horror. That was probably the only time that she absolutely dreaded going to school. And probably what confirmed her theories of cooties. Men became unbearably cranky and moody and mischievous when they got them. Which was why Cedes had suspected Professor Kaziman having it. He was... an interesting... person. Maybe children and elderly people were particularly vulnerable to it.

Oh. She was following her. Heh heh. Cedes wondered if the girl would notice if they climbed the stairs and all the way into the Girl's Dormitory. Probably. She forced herself to stay where she was.

And then the girl asked her a question but Cedes was slightly distracted, not enough to not know completely what the girl was asking. But Cedes was partly psychic so it wouldn't be too bad if she hadn't heard. "Oh... well if Kazimeriz was still here, I'd say... don't get stuck in a room with him. In fact, I'd just avoid him period, but thankfully he's not here anymore. We pretty much have new professors this term. All I can say is... do your homework. Attend class. Try not to get lost on the moving stairs because the name says it all. Annddd be nice to the Squid at the lake."
