whiteoak academy

[oshibana]

The country of Esmos has a proud tradition of raising the children of its noble houses into powerful mages who wield all manner of control over the magic that runs through the world. To this end, the most magically adept (and, typically, richest and most well-bred) children are sent to the prestigious White Oak Academy. Here, they learn how to get along and more importantly, how to mingle and socialize in high society. Etiquette and history classes are held alongside magical theory and combat and it's impossible to tell just which is more dangerous – the magic the students are learning to control or the social circles they're expected to begin navigating. Still, White Oak is known through the land for a reason and with nobles and royalty in attendance, the security and care taken in protecting their students make this the safest place in all of Esmos. Surely nothing could go wrong in a place like White Oak.

[Mina just stands there, frozen for a moment as who she's talking to begins to sink in. Then:]

P- P- P- Prince Florian?!

[No matter how long she stays at White Oak, Mina will never get used to casually encountering royalty.]

I'm- I'm so sorry, I didn't realize it was you- wait, no, um, I would've helped anyways, but-

[Just give her a minute, Florian.]

And stop!

[He holds up a hand! But Florian is completely incapable of looking stern.]

I'm here to learn! [Allegedly.] That means, as long as I'm here, I'm just a student. If you get too caught up with trying to remember the right forms of address, we'll never be able to have a decent conversation!
