After a few minutes, the janitor did show up, though he did not stay long. As soon as he caught sight of Kyriel curled up in the middle of the floor, he smiled faintly, pausing to brush his fingers once gently through the little Elf's silky hair. Not moving, Kyriel just watched the older Elf as he gathered supplies, mustering up a slight smile once he was leaving.

Eventually, the sound of the bell ringing reached Kyriel's sharp ears. A soft sigh escaped his lips, but he knew that he had to get up and head to his first class. He was already cleaning bathrooms; no more injury needed to be added.

It took little time to get to his first class, and from there things just went as usual. Half of the classes were enjoyable, the other half near-torture. Time in-between classes was better than usual without his main bullies there. Now it was mostly just the freshman and transfers commenting on how pretty "she" was.
