But he is here at long last. He pays the cabbie before his large green duffle bag and departing. He takes a moment to take in the site of the academy grounds, wondering if his mother felt like this. Either way, time to go. "Ma'assalama." He bids farewell to the cabbie in Arabic and heads toward the front gate.

There's a familiar name. Not one his parents were very fond of, either, when he heard them say it, but what's the point in judging?  "Aaron Silverman. Welcome aboard, it's good meeting you." Murdoch would probably like to handle his own introduction, so Aaron won't impose. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

He really can't say more than that. Silverman and Ó Caiside weren't names that he'd been told anything about. "Tour? Yeah sure, that'd be cool."

He grins before turning toward the academy and courtyard. "It shouldn't take very long. To start this is the courtyard. Obviously." He brushes his hand through the air like a model showing off a new car. "Not much to do out here, but it's a nice place to relax."

Aaron lets Murdoch take the lead on this tour! He sounds like he knows what he's doing. He'll stick by, ready to pitch in and help Taner feel welcome.

Aaron gestures to where it extends all the way to a part of it that is, in fact, boxed in by the Academy proper. "Courtyard" seems to be just a term they use for the front end of the Paradigm campus.

Though Aaron has a point, but is an enclosed yard a 'courtyard'? He continues following given the campus a last sweeping glance as they head for the door. "Super agility basically. Nothing fancy." But it allows him to do plenty of fancy things. "You guys? Throwing fire balls around or something?"

"That pretty much nails it. It's useful for both information gathering and expanding my skill set, but the most apparent cost is that anything traumatic or near that can have a very lasting impression." As they entered the school, Murdoch would start heading toward Tutorial. "SO we have an auditorium, and regular classrooms, but if you're looking to work on anything physical, our training room is usually the best bet. Also, you can find the staff offices around here, like Director Gavyns for example."

Taner jokes lightly before continuing to follow Murdoch around. He knew to well the problems of memory and trauma from his mother. He takes special note of the Director's office.
