Sakura, who was already on campus due to the fact she had spent the summer with her parents, who, by some weird coincidence (namely, being sensei here) had already been living in the area. She carries her two bags into the room she's been assigned, placing them on the bed. She starts to unpack, taking out her rather basic wardrobe, putting it away in the closet and dresser, a daisho stand which is placed above her desk, along with the swords, books (mostly on theology and the Tao) and...well...that was it. Unpacking took Sakura all of fifteen minutes, which leaves her plenty of time to stand around, waiting for her roomate to arrive and read one of the books she brought along.

The other part of the room was already filled with said dragon's room mates items. It was by no means as spartan or bare as Sakura, but it was tidy and neat which gave the illusion of less than truly existed. Of course, nothing gave away whom the room mate was or what clan she belonged to. At least not unless one were to dig around.
That mystery would never come to pass however as the door slid open and Tsuki paused outside it, realizing someone was already inside. She leaned in slightly as she caught a good look at who was sitting inside. "Oh, pardon me. I didn't think anyone else would be here just yet. This wouldn't happen to be the room you were assigned to, correct?"

Sakura turns and bows to the new arrival, "Hai. This one is Mirumoto Sakura, first year."

Tsuki steps in to the room and offers a bow in return. "It is a pleasure to meet you Mirumoto Sakura-san." She spoke cleanly as the woman rose from her bow and made over to her bed and a dresser. She opened one of the drawers and plucked out a picture, which she quickly worked over and pressed against the wall, adjusting the item until it was at an acceptable level.
The picture was set to a simple frame, and depicted three individuals beneath a tree, books spread out before them and a large bottle of sake resting delicately in the grass. Two of the occupants have white hair and matching blue pendants. The man, a sharp and severe look on his face, is buried in one of the books. The woman, on the other hand, has a hand raised to her mouth to cover a grin and a laugh. The third figure is as a mountain, his head kicked back in laughter with rosy cheeks, a book half forgotten in one hand and a shallow sake dish in the other.
Tsuki smiled slightly before she turned back to Sakura. "So, have you had a chance to wander the grounds yet and get a feel for the layout?"

"Ah. Hai. I've...actually had more chance than most. My parents both teach here and I spent the summer here with them," Sakura replies, rubbing the back of her neck, "Though I doubt you'll take classes with them unless you wind up wanting to study how to make pottery or how to solve crimes."

Tsuki smiled at the girls bashful display and shook her head. "I think both are useful in their own way, though I admit my lack knowledge in the former. If you don't mind my asking, who are your parents?"
She asked the question, but she knew only a couple teachers that taught said classes at the school. She pondered if maybe fate was having some fun by making unannounced plans.

"Mirumoto Aiko and Mirumoto Dairu, Kakita-sama," Sakura replies, immediately bracing for the half a hundred questions she anticipates about her mother.

"Oh." Tsuki acknowledged as her mouth came to a soft close. "Oh." She said again, this time in a more understanding manner. She stared at the girl, noting her anticipation before she smiled again. "I can only imagine the attention you might receive for being the daughter of those two."

Sakura nods simply. She didn't really know how to respond to someone showing understanding or sympathy for her situation, as in the Dragon mountains, she didn't meet many other children of celebrities or major historical or political figures. Most people assumed she lived a pampered and celebrated life, when really, all Sakura wanted was to be able to focus on her studies and live in peace. The Dragon tilts her head, looking beyond at the picture, and suddenly, she grasps why the Kakita understands. And now is even more surprised by the sympathy.
"I do not think you can only imagine, Kakita-sama."

Tsuki smiled again, her charming features and otherwise pleasant demeanor being enhanced as she did so. "Well, if I were to be a stickler on technicalities, and I will, then yes I can only imagine. Just as much as I will be when I ask to not be addressed as sama. I'll take senpai if you wish, but honestly, I'd be fine with san."
The woman knelt down slightly as a hand swung beneath her dress to properly pull the extra aside before taking a seat on her bed, across from Sakura. "If you have any questions for me, I'll try my best to help out. I'm sure you probably know most of the dorm rooms, but generally the dorm mother has a meeting with all the girls to just lay out the ground rules on what is and isn't okay."
