[b]time skip; afternoon of the sparring tournament[/b]
Lan was sitting in an external classroom at Beacon, at a desk made from a carefully sculpted tree. Still a bit fatigued from her earlier sparring match with Viola, the lemur tailed girl yawned.
 Across the room, a somewhat effeminate teacher spoke [colour=39b54a]“The Jewel Tree is one of several species of plant which has evolved specifically to feed on aura. In most cases this is reflected by a handfull of leaves changing to the color of the source aura.”[/colour] he gestured to a bonsai in a pot on the podium at the front of the room. [colour=39b54a]“As you may have noticed, this specimen has been exposed to many auras throughout it’s life, meaning no two leaves reflect the same properties.”[/colour]

The red haired girl pondered [i][colour=crimson]“Wasn’t Tsuki meant to be in this class?”[/colour][/i] she tilted her head, staring absently at the small, decorative plant Umuthi Iqhawe was discussing the properties of animatedly, allowing her attention to wander across the room, passively observing other students for the duration of the lecture.

Around an hour later, the girl stepped out of the small classroom into the sunlight. She checked her scroll, confirming she had no more classes for the day, and elected to return to the dorms. After walking in silence a few minutes, she began to worry over the absence of her teammate Tsuki, and drew her scroll, attempting to call the missing girl.

After several attempts with no answer, she gave up, pausing at a bench near the library to send out a hastily typed group message

[colour=crimson]”Hey, it’s Lan, Could you two meet me at the library? Tsuki wasn’t in any of our shared classes. I’m a bit worried.”[/colour]

After sending the message, she considered a moment before dialing Viola. She tapped her foot impatiently as it rang, speaking the moment her friend answered [colour=crimson]“I’m worried about one of my teammates. I haven’t seen Tsuki all day, I’m not even sure she was in the dorm this morning.”[/colour]
