Hildegard von Krone (Hilde)

I must say, finding an suitable costume was more work than it should have been. I don't want to sound as though I'm being judgmental, but--all of them just showed so much skin! I could never feel comfortable dressing that way, and, frankly, I cannot imagine it being appropriate for me to do so in the first place.

Nonetheless, I did manage to find something I liked well enough to purchase--I think it's quite nice, really, with the possible exception of the wig that came with it. My hair should be fine as it is, though, so I won't even have to worry about using it.

Hm. I think, perhaps, the quad could use a little more cheer. Maybe some flowers in the kitchen? It's something to think about, at least.

Today was certainly a good day--I couldn't hope to deny that. However... I'm afraid I feel a little guilty now, as I neglected the reading I had planned to do earlier because of it. I'll have to make sure I complete the section before bed. I can't be getting behind on my studies so soon after classes have begun, after all.

Perhaps after the week is over, though, I'll devote some time to something... fun. I must admit, the longer I stay here, the more relaxed I become. It's not as though there's any need for me to remain so formal, is there? Maybe I'll shop for some less constricting clothes this weekend. More and more, I find the dresses I brought with me aren't practical at times. I don't think I could ever be comfortable wearing what some of the other women here do, but a few pairs of trousers wouldn't hurt.

There. Those courses should be suitable in helping me with what I came here to learn. I... certainly hope so, anyway. I would not want to have abandoned my country for a waste of time. I considered not taking so many, as this will be my first time attending a school such as this, but in the end I decided that if I cannot handle the responsiblity of a few classes I do not deserve my standing in Wolfkrone. I am sure that I will be able to handle the workload.

Well, hopefully this will be a pleasant surprise for him when he returns. Because he will be coming back. He will. And if he doesn't, I'll find him again; he's so conspicuous he couldn't hope to hide from me even if he tried.

...After everything that's happened, the silence here is eerie.

Siegfried, would it be a bother if I stopped by to see you now? I simply... am not in the mood to be in an empty quad.

I did not think I would be donning my armor by necessity again so soon. However, such matters of fate are not up to me to decide.

Should anyone be in need of my sword, they shall have it.

Hm. This... device I've been told to use is so very strange to me. I've never seen anything like it before--but, regardless, I suppose I'll have to make do. If everyone else attending the Academy can read what I'm writing... Well, that does seem quite convenient. Perhaps I could even learn to enjoy using this 'computer.'

Ah, but I suppose if others can read this, I should introduce myself. My name is Hildegard, but you may simply call me Hilde. I would prefer such, actually. I'm sure it will be a pleasure to meet and learn with all of you.

I'm roomed in Cattelya South, it seems. Eve, Kaoru--I'll try not to be a bother to either of you. If anything I do is at all inappropriate or inconsiderate, please don't hesitate to tell me so. I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes.

...I suppose I'll leave unpacking my belongings until tomorrow. The trip here was tiring, and I would like to get to bed before too long.
