Kathy smiled as she received the third hug of the day, and yet another warm welcome by a familiar friend. Wrapping her arms around Carmen as well, though keeping her grip slack enough that the skylark wouldn’t have trouble moving away later, she returned the embrace until the Carmen stepped back again. [color=brown]“Ah, well,”[/color] She raised a hand up to the back of her neck in a sheepish manner. [color=brown]“I wasn’t too certain I would be able to make it back to see you either. But… I’m really happy I could make it, and to be able to see you again too.”[/color]

Hearing a sigh, she turned to face Criston again and waited until his announcement ended. She looked a little troubled as the white-haired lad was approached by others wanting their questions answered, her own having long been forgotten since they joined up with Carmen. [color=brown]”Um… Have you been keeping in contact with any of the others?”[/color] She asked, looking to Carmen. [color=brown]”Like… Well, just everyone in general…”[/color] Apparently the years hadn’t taught her to be more smooth with her words. There was one specific person she wanted to ask about, but after so many years of being out of touch with everyone she knew at the academy she couldn’t bring herself to show such blatant favouritism.
