Kaya smiled at the statement that he’d only go without her was if she were sick, and tuned to look away from him, blushing slightly. As they arrived at the bus stop she followed him on, sitting beside him as it took off towards school. “I may be able to guilt one out of dad because he’s away so much and has missed so many birthdays… but I don’t think I’d be able to go through with it.” Kaya was pretty sure she couldn’t guilt anyone into doing anything without feeling bad. 

“As for the bike… I think it’s more an issue of my mum… she’d never let me get on one of those things when school was so close. ‘too dangerous’.” After her accident her mother and father had moved out here to the suburbs and although it doesn’t drastically affect her life Kaya’s mother had always been just that little bit over protective, not wanting her to do things that were unnecessarily risky. In a way she understood it, but it also made her wonder how she’d handle it when she moved out. The bus pulled up to the school not too long after that and the pair disembarked together and Kaya smiled despite herself.

“I know it’s not really your thing, but I’m glad to be back.” Kaya said as she made her way inside. “It’s one of the only places we get to use our powers openly.” She shrugged slightly not that she really used her powers all that much; it was still nice to know she didn’t have to hide it. Studying wasn’t overly difficult for her either and she found herself able to remember things she read easily, though the circles and intricate details and strange language of alchemy were always the easiest to memorise. “Now all I need is for alchemy to be a subject on its own and I’d be fine. But I guess power practical is the closest I’m gonna get again this year.”
