First Entrance
[Immediately Pre-Milliways.]
This? Is not her room.
Sandry hovers uncertainly in the doorway. She knows that Winding Circle is a center of magic, but she has a feeling that the sudden appearance of a tavern is strange, even for the temple city.
Still, being a curious and not particularly timid child, she doesn't hover for long. Sandry steps away from the door, looking around at this odd new place. She is a rather incongruous sight--and eleven year old girl dressed entirely in black, from her neat kid slippers to her long finely-worked dress to the sheer veil pinned over her light brown hair.
In addition, she is wearing a bewildered expression. And explanation of where she is would not go amiss.

But with Sandry, embarrassment generally doesn't last long.
"I'm just at school," she confirms. "My great-uncle is responsible for me, and he thought I'd be happier being educated with other children."
Sandry is very fond of her uncle, but she has to agree with him that Winding Circle was a livelier place to live.

Jamie's eyebrows go up, a very little, but he doesn't ask.
"That's generally the right idea," he agrees, instead. "Depending on the other kids, of course - but it seems to've worked out for you all right."

"I didn't care much for the girls in my old dormitory. They talked all the time, and always about fashions and marriages--never anything interesting."
"They've just moved me to a cottage on the temple grounds though." At the insistence of the dedicate in charge of her former dormitory who had deemed Sandry a disruptive influence. "I think I'm going to like it much better. My friend Daja is living there too. And two other children."
Granted, Briar and Tris have so far firmly rebuffed any overtures of friendship, but Sandry is not one to give up easily when she sets her mind to something.

Friendly, teasing: "What did you do to earn special privileges? Top marks in the class?"

She grins impishly.
"The dedicate in charge of my old dormitory wanted me to not be her problem any more."
no subject
Jamie was never much of one for school, anyways.
"Top marks in something else, then."
no subject
"Certainly not deportment, I'm afraid."
