"This is one of the more relaxing places to go here in the area of the school, Jensen. I think you may find it a very peaceful place to reflect on things."
Samuel had said that before the flying fish caused him to move his hand from where it was. He noticed his surprise, and then eased up a little on his idea on him. He was not used to some things, as the surprise seemed to share. He smiled, one of a hearty welcoming for the younger man.
"You are not the only one, Jensen. The first of the year they have surprised like that, but so not the only one. They caught me off guard the first time I walked her alone, so do not be worried about that. There are many surprises that always are in store for first years. Some of them just happen, and sometimes they are planned by members of the faculty or Heads of Houses.. or so forth. It is all meant in good fun and all."
He didn't know why he felt he should talk about things like that, but he felt that he should give the younger man a little warning about some of the more.. jovial.. goings on at the Uni.

Ashley was behind Alice and Samuel, to Nickolai's side so that she was in position to get the better view in ways. She was absolutely stunned at her surroundings, but also was listing to what was said. She heard about the surprises, and when she picked up on how Samuel was speaking, she had to ask.
"Wait.. you don't mean practical jokes do you?? That would be kinda mean... they try to get to know you around her first right?"
Her words, do to her empathetic nature, projected that she was not just talking for herself but also for both Nickolai and Jensen as well. Not talking for them in place of their own thoughts, but rather that she did think that sort of thing would not be nice. She had five brothers, and it took her five years to get them out of that.
