Beacon's airbus terminal was a few steps above the one at Signal, probably becausse this was one of the besst hunting academies in Remnant, but the main functions were the same. Buses would dock on a platform, at which point their loading doors would be synced with the one in the terminal. When the pilot signalled the bus was ready to load, the terminal door would open, and students would cross a hybrid street-landing strip to reach the bus or the school.

There were few students lined up at the door today - a given, considering it was only the first day of classes. There were maybe four students on a bench on the adjacent side of the strip, but other than them it was just Glaukos and Elise. Quiet. Awkward.

I wish Sialis was here, she found herself thinking, and audibly sighed. Elise immediately grew embarrassed, covering her mouth with the tips of her fingers, attempting to find something they could converse about to break the tension. They were probably already a spectacle judging by the group of people on the bench who kept looking over and whispering. Considering everything clashed about them at the moment - Elise: small and dressed in her uniform, Glaukos: much taller and still wearing the underarmor from his battle costume.

When the low hum of the airbus filled the air she looked up, watching as it pulled in from the distance. The little girl swallowed and gripped fistfuls of her plaid skirt, adjusting it on her hips.

She really, really hated airbuses.

"Would now be a bad time to tell you I am deathly afraid of airbuses?" She whipped around, hair frantically following the path of her head. Her voice was quick and if she listened hard enough she could practically hear the echo of her heartbeat thumping behind the words. She was giving it her all to sound calm, but....

"Remember when we first saw Chartreuse and she called me 'Sickly Sally'? Well, see, that's because I have a tendency to get, er," She stumbled over her words now, bringing her hand to her chest and twiddling her thumbs. "ThepointisthatIgetviolentlyillwheneverItakeairbusesandIdidnothavethechancetocheckthecampusinfirmaryforanythingthatpreventsairsickness."
