Luna ‘s attention returned to Alicia as she turned to face her, she felt her mouth curve into a lopsided smile one that allowed a sharp canine to peak out from under her top lip, though she had forgotten her friend’s tendencies. She looked taken aback and stiffened a little as Alicia pulled her into a tight yet friendly hug; with a somewhat awkward expression she returned it as best as she could...Luna wasn’t exactly the ‘hugging’ type. She was actually pleased at how happy Alicia seemed to be to see her! It was a completely new response to her presence... “Very well thank you” Luna answered lightly once Alicia had released her, she kept a smile on her lips as Alicia looked between her and Rory. “What about you?” Luna asked, whilst Alicia was looking at her...she looked like she was thinking over something before she announced they should all hang out tonight. She raised a questioning eyebrow at Alicia, why tonight...what was wrong with right now? She didn’t question Alicia however, just nodded in agreement, finally relaxing out of her smile when Alicia turned back to Naka, she took note that she had also forgotten Alicia's smiling was rather infectious. Luna took the opportunity to steal a glance at Rory as she greeted her; she offered a smile though it faded into a smirk at Rory’s light statement. “Thanks, a change was needed” Luna thanked her she was toying with the idea of saying more but Rory’s attention had returned to Naka...without giving it much thought, Luna set Naka with a scrutinizing gaze trying to judge how bad the damage was, her eyes lingering a moment on Naka’s busted lip she could detect the sharp metallic scent of blood on the air, a slight yellow hue circled her chocolate eyes. She looked away as Naka spoke to Rory, content with being in the background of this situation, she had no interest in getting involved and something told her Naka wasn’t in the mood to be trifled with and Luna wasn’t very good at holding her tongue. She turned her attention back to Alicia with little difficulty eager to spark up some conversation. “So Alicia, did you get up to much over the break?” Luna asked her, catching Rory look back at them her eyes drifted up catching the wave to follow she nodded at Rory moving around Alicia to follow, making sure to stay even with Alicia if she followed.

She was about to respond to the ground around her when she heard another familiar voice chime in. Her head turned, and for a brief moment, Rory was distracted by the appearance of Luna. Luna was familiar, of course, but over vacation, it seemed that she'd gone through a wardrobe change. "Hey, Luna," Rory replied, as her eyes skimmed over her bold outfit choice, "You look good," she said, but it was stating it lightly. It was obvious from some of the side-long stares that Luna was getting that this look for her. Rory was impressed. Thankfully, Naka spoke again, reminding Rory that there were more pressing matters at hand here. "Oh! Of course!" She recollected herself, "It's just down the hall from here. They'll be able to take care of you there. I've seen them handle -much- worse." She gave her friend a grin. Of course, Naka was showing her defensive side. But Rory understood. Knowing Naka before now, and having experienced coming into this place without anywhere to go home to, she understood that certain situations just required you to be strong in order to feel safe. In order to feel like you had some sort of control. She didn't challenge her on it, but instead simply said, "Follow me." Her hazel eyes flashed towards Luna and Alicia, who seemed content conversing, and she waved them along, signaling for them to come along for the walk. As they passed through the doors, she spoke to Naka again, voicing the thoughts that had buzzing in her mind since she had unexpectedly found her here, "So...I had no idea you were a...mutant." She approached the subject a little hesitantly. It was strange discussing mutation with someone from her past, who had never known that side of her.

Alicia "Ali" Taylor

Alicia followed behind Rory quietly when she waved both her and Luna to follow listening to her friend talking to Naka, not wanting to disturb her friend Rory from getting reacquainted with Naka. Alicia looked at Luna who was walking alongside her and smiled before shrugging slightly when she asked about her break. "I mostly just stayed at home, been trying to avoid any skin contact with anyone, wearing gloves helps but it's annoying to be wearing them all the time." Alicia answered with a sigh she brushed a stray strand of her brown hair behind her ear. "But I did go out and hangout with my little brother and my summer was pretty nice went on vacation to my parents cabin for about two weeks. What about you, what did you do over the break?" Alicia asked, she looked towards Rory for a second and asked her friend. "So have you and Naka known each other for awhile?"
