Rhee listened politely as Keilan spoke, his face also contorting into one of worry when she began talking about the three powers that now controlled much of the world. He wasn't smart, but he did know the continents, and having that much control over that much territory... It was worrisome. However, when Keilan mentioned that he would have to attend classes, he scowled, plopping his head on the desk.

Seeing the duffel bags, he stood up, picking up the one that was for him and Lilu. He took off their backpack, and rather than unpack, simply put it inside the duffel bag. There, packing all done.

He didn't want to walk all the way to their tiny cottage near the beach, so instead, as others filed out of the room, he sat down in his seat, contemplating all that had been said. The World Government, the New Chinese Empire, and the Muslim Empire... So these were the powers now at play. Very troublesome. If their mother had survived the storm, then she would most likely be residing on the eastern coast of North America, or in any of the now-submerged islands of the caribbean.

Deciding that he had had enough being in control, he rested his head on the desk, and went to sleep.

Soon after Thaddeus had arrived at the meeting spot, the bouncing figure of Lilu came onto the scene. Though the differences were slight between her and her brother, they were there: wider blue eyes and a more feminine frame, as well as how she carried herself. Unlike her slow, slouching sibling, Lilu walked tall and proud, with an almost regal air about her.

She set the duffel bag down and placed her hands on her hips, looking about. So, this was where they would be training? She would probably have to talk to the woman in charge, Keilan, to fill in the gaps for her. Rhee had explained to her what he had understood, but of course, he couldn't remember everything. Lilu also didn't share her brother's cautious nature and worries of the outside world, rather, she was perhaps the most eager to leave their island home and explore the other lands.
