"-Each of you will be given teammates..today."

Tuckyr tapped his boot impatiently against the stone-grey platform beneath him, growing restless as both Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch combed through the particularities of initiation. He dipped in and out of listening to the old guard rabble on.

His focus was on the Emerald Forest itself, from their vantage on the cliff edge, the trees below almost seemed like an ocean of vivid greens. He stared intently down into its depths, already imagining himself running through the boundless overgrowth. This is where his first mark in the legacy of the Gainsboros would be made, everything before was just prologue.

"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years..."

Ozpin's words caught him by surprise, and Tuckyr's head snapped to look down the row of his peers. Each and every one of them clearly a disappointment in one way or another, especially when compared to him. And yet, one of them would be lucky enough to call themselves his partner, it was almost funny how that almost made this hypothetical person his equal in standing.

They'd know soon enough who was really in the spotlight, and that was enough to put a determined smirk on his face.
