[color=fff200][b][u]Aaron[/u][/b][/color][u] and [/u][color=8dc73f][b][u]Kathryn[/u][/b][/color] Kate couldn't sleep, the realization that school would begin tomorrow kept her awake. It wasn't that she dreaded going to school for in fact it was quite the opposite. The main reason Kate was at Orean was so that she'd learn more about her gifts and her people, and the only thing standing in her way was time. She got up from her bed and shuffled around the dorm, at one point she grabbed a poptart and desspite her best efforts to eat it like a civilized individual she instead devoured the pastry within seconds. Afterwards she received an idea which wouldn't make the time go faster but make its passing less monotonous. Kate grabbed a hoodie from amongst her other clothes and headed outside to the forest near campus. At the same time Aaron was just about to exit his dorm but was stopped by his newly discovered roommate. [color=fff200][b]"Yeah, sorry about the noise. Today has been a real [i]pain[/i]. Get it?...never mind"[/b][/color], Aaron hung his head low in embarrassment as he rushed out the door. On his way towards the campus exit Aaron caught by chance a glimpse of Kate as she headed into the forests nearby. [color=fff200][i]"What's she up to?"[/i][/color], he wondered before following her to a nearby forest clearing. Aaron had known Kate for a long time and he knew what she was doing when she sat in the grass. What he wanted to know was why she was doing this. [color=fff200][b]"Uhh, what are you doing?"[/b][/color], he asked after sneaking up right behind her. The sudden sound of a voice caused Kate to spring forward and away from the source. Turning around she was surprised and relieved to find it was just Aaron, [color=8dc73f][b]"Naraan, Aaron! You nearly gave me a heart attack! What are you doing here, anyway?"[/b][/color]. Aaron simply shrugged he shoulders as he approached saying, [color=fff200][b]"I was going to ask you the same thing"[/b][/color]. [color=8dc73f][b]"I couldn't sleep, I was hoping to pass the time here. And you? What's got you out?"[/b][/color] [color=fff200][b]"My dorm needs food, I was going to go get some. Wanna come?"[/b][/color] [color=8dc73f][b]"No thanks, I think I'll just relax here for a bit"[/b][/color] [color=fff200][b]"Alright, see ya tomorrow I guess"[/b][/color], Aaron turned back and headed towards Orean. In a matter of moments he disappeared into the foliage and Kate turned back towards the forest interior. Sitting down once again she made a connection with the plant life. Unlike before where she was only able to see events unfolding at campus, in the forest she could see for miles, her consciousness travelling across the vast expanse of plant life as she explored the wilderness free from danger. Kate watched as the nocturnal creatures of the forest scurried about unaware they were being observed by her. It was here that she felt most comfortable, not necessarily in the network but in the wilds where her kin were meant to be.
