Anita quirked a brow as Kenji wandered off without a word, she was starting to get a bit of a complex about that. "No worries." She laughed softly, looking back to Kano, appreciating his social skills. "I suppose I shouldn't keep you two from getting situated. Have you met any of the other staff members yet?"
Daniel's attention went to Elly's arm as it grabbed toward him, staying as he was despite that, he wasn't afraid of it considering. He could tell how ashamed Elly was of the arm, which was no surprise to him. While he wasn't a fan of showing off his own demonic limb, he'd grown used to using it as a tool of convincing students they could, in fact, get control, even when it seemed impossible. Without saying anything, he reached up to pull off the black glove covering his entire right arm, revealing the purple, demonic appendage, his clawed, indigo fingers flexing a little bit as they were freed, "You aren't alone in this, believe me...you shouldn't be ashamed."

Kano sighed, crossing his arms, before he smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid not, we didn't get much attention I'm afraid. Admittedly, we look more like the students than any staff member here." He pointed out with a light tone, easily making a joke mixed in with his answer.

Elly watched him as he took off the glove. His eyes went huge, and his face went into shock. I'm not alone... He thought to himself, his hand soon stopped grabbing, and seemed to 'look' up at his hand, and tilted slightly like it was a human head.
"Your.." Elly started to say, then stood up in a jolt, leaning over the table. "You're like me?" He whispered, as if knowing something wasn't right with these arms.

"Well you're most definitely the youngest among us." Anita smiled light-heatedly, not meaning it in a bad way, "But we're like a family here, you'll fit it nicely soon enough." she offered reassurance, regardless of whether or not he felt he needed it. "I must admit I'm not the biggest fan of science personally, but if you're ever looking for someone to talk to, there's our head doctor here, Kuan-Yin Shen. Everyone tends to call him Mr. K, though."
Daniel smiled gently to himself as Elly seemed so surprised and somewhat relieved to see his arm. He nodded in response to his question, replacing the black glove over his arm after a moment since he didn't much like having it out in the open. "It seems so...and I would like to help you learn to control yours. It took me some time, but I've managed to gain dominance over the presence in my arm.."

Kano nodded, "I've never been one for Science either, its Astronomy that really interests me. And often thats usually a Science all on its own." He chatted lightly, recalling his three year trip into space... He wondered if everyone really knew about that. A couple of teenagers living in space for a few years, who would buy that? It isn't like they brought anything back to the press.

Elly stared at him, then sat back down, looking at his arm, it twitched, then settled down. Looking back up to him, he tilted his head to the side, then frowned.
"So.. you can help me control it? no more fearful nights of going to bed and waking up with blood everywhere..?" He muttered, had quite a few nightmares like that.

"Astronomy, huh? Well we're so far removed from the city that you get a beautiful view of the stars at night here." Anita mentioned, that really being her only connection to astronomy that she could think of. She'd heard the rumor of the twins going to space, but wasn't sure if that was only rumors, so she didn't mention it. "After a year you may be eligible to teach your own courses here, if you're interested."
Daniel's features seemed to sicken a little bit as Elly mentioned the blood, not out of disgust, moreso from remembering his own experiences as a child. He shook his head, putting on a reassuring smile, "It will take some time, but yes, I can help you learn to control it. Nothing is impossible."

Kano lifted a brow, he had to hold back a laugh at that, but only because looking at the stars just made him feel like he was homesick. He had to appreciate the consideration at least. "Teaching sounds great to me. Sometimes I really gotta hate my age though; Nobody allows me to publish textbooks of my own. And teaching from someone else's work is a bit of a bother." He conversed lightly, shrugging it off.

Elly soon smiled faintly. He was glad to hear it was possible, instead of hearing how he should just be gone, the rest of his family besides his dead father and his brother, whom he didn't even know was still alive or not.
"Thank you.." He mumbled, and soon looked at his arm, rubbing it slightly. That always seemed to make it more calm at times.

"Oh? Well we hold no such age biases here." Anita smiled, noticing his slight amusement at her suggestion, which she could only assume from his intellect level, "You're allowed to teach whatever you like here, so long as it's within our ethical guidelines. And we'll see about that textbook, I'm sure I can work something out for you."
Daniel smiled softly himself, seeing himself in this boy, and was glad that he would be able to help him. He only hoped he'd be able to succeed. "No need, I teach Basics of Ability Control here at the academy, after all."

Kano nodded, smiling, "That sounds fine, I'm glad that we can be taken seriously. I gotta admit, if I was in your position, I probably wouldn't have even hired a 16 year old at all." He pointed out light heartedly, "I must respect you, to have confidence and good judgment on who you hire. It's never easy to run a school, but I suppose it is rewarding, especially this school."

Elly smiled, and nodded his head. He suddenly had a huge boost from this male, and viewed him as more of a guidance figure now. Looking down, he kicked his feet some, and then looked back up.
"I should get my class times and see when I have you..." He mumbled quietly, now half hoping there wasn't a class that you had to have your powers active to pass.

Anita seemed vaguely amused by Kano's words, "I like to believe I have a good judge of character." she mused, hinting at what her abilities were, as she often did, without fully explaining what exactly they were. "It is very rewarding, with as many kids as we've helped so far, I have no intention of letting anything get in the way of that. And I'm confident that with your help, and the rest of my staff, that will go smoothly."
To see this boy's entire demeanor change so quickly just from the hope of gaining control, was a very good feeling to Daniel. He returned Elly's smile, "My beginners course is in the morning, so it may be your first class of the day. I'll have to check my new roster."

Kano nodded, he'd heard this before from other teachers. At first he thought they were half joking, he doubted teaching or even school in general could help kids so much. That was only because he already felt like he knew everything. Now he understood differently. It was still amazing how so many teachers, if not all of the ones he met, all said the same thing. "I can imagine it will." Was all he could say to add. "I plan to further my career-if I can cal it that at this age-into teaching in some point. Gotta share what you have, I suppose."

Elly nodded, that would be good, first in the morning going to see him.. Very good, in fact, that's what he thought, anyways. Smiling, he soon stood up, looking like happier than ever now.
"That's great!" He said cheerfully.
