[h2][color=421A8C]Sapphire Rode[/color] - Cafeteria[/h2] Sapphire smiled at Ivan's attempt to defend his sorry excuse for a sparring match. He'd been essentially useless in the ring. Only two of his shots had actually done any real damaged compared to the twenty or so he'd fired. The only reason Merlin hadn't won was because Ivan had realized he couldn't score vitory and decided to take his opponent with him essentially committing suicide. It was both desperate and foolish and not really effective if you wanted to live to fight a second time. [color=0054a6]"Funny I thought a miscalculation of his abilities with dust was what put his aura in the red but don't worry about it dear, as long as you tried your best that's all anyone can really expect from you. And by the way the fact that you can't seem to see where you went wrong is the reason you'll never make it as a Hunter. You've gotta be able to learn from your mistakes and the fact that your arguing with me about how good you seem to think your utter failure was just proves that you are anything but adaptable."[/color] Sapphire flared with anger when Ivan called her [i]Sapphy[/i], no one called her that. Her sisters abbreviated her name to Saph and Sapphire didn't mind only because they were family. Rather than threaten him however Sapphire let the moment pass. If she made a big deal of the nickname she would [i]never[/i] hear her real name from his mouth. The next thing he said almost made her laugh. [color=0054a6]"So you think it would have been more respectful if they'd not offered me the food they did to all of you? Well whatever, I lost my lunch to Fuzzball's landing so might as well take them up on there offer. Incidentally You're partner seems to have run off, says something about what he thinks of your attempt to defend is honor."[/color] Sapphire said with a condescending grin on her face before turning her back on Ivan and walking up to the table were most of her team was waiting. [color=0054a6]"You guys still got some extras or should I go pick something new up from the caf?"[/color] It had been pretty clear from last night that none of them got along particularly well with her so if they wanted to refuse her a seat at there table it wouldn't really matter to her.
