The gentle tracing of digits over the smooth surface of pearl-colored orbs conveyed the absent-minded curiosity of the Orb Junctioner as she sat at her seat. With their instructor not yet in, Eika was experimenting, so to say. Seeing how far the Orbs could traverse around the classroom had become a consistent thing as of late. Oh, to joy, one of the Orbs would be bought into her arms to allow her arms to cradle it oh so gently. ...Right, someone had asked her yet another question today, having found her in the class early as always. Another fortune to tell, another future to give light to. 
[i]"Yes...Let's see...The love you seek will find you at this upcoming test. Take care to cherish what will come, yet...do not take what is given to you for granted. Should you treat it without appreciation, it will disappear before it ever even comes 'round. Is that understood?"[/i]

The ever-so common "squee" of delight fell from the questioning girl's lips as she thanked Eika and ran off to tell her friend, a small "donation" junctioned into her orbs prior to leaving of her morning "regular". Ah, it was a normal life. She'd finally gotten used to the majority of the machinery here to the point that she could use it, but...Nothing quite bit fixing things with her Orbs when she could. ...Oh! Their instructor had come in. Quick to stand, the small blue PuPu doll that had clung to her shoulder would hop on top of her desk as they would both salute the male proceeding over them. 
[i]"Good morning, Instructor Duncan."[/i]

Nom-Nom -- her "pet" PuPu doll -- would rush over to perform it's daily little task of dropping an apple on his desk before hopping back up her leg and crawling it's way onto her shoulder. Whether it was a subconscious thought, or just the will of the doll itself, it had taken to nabbing apples from the cafe to give to him ever since the fifth day of class. ...Well, now that that was out the way, she'd drop to her seat as quietly as she could, bring her orbs down to roll underneath her desk, and keep one on her lap to hold as she waited. Today would be the SeeD field exam...As far as she knew, she was the only one that Specialized in her area, but would that make it harder for her to cooperate in a team with other students?...She couldn't tell whether it was terror, anxiousness, or excitement anymore.
