[B]"Good morning all!  To celebrate the successful completion of your first week in the facility we're going to start some group sessions! We'll be mingling this in with your individual ones to help you work alongside others with abilities.  Please make your way to the auditorium instead of the coaching rooms for the morning session.  I'll catch you all there!"[/b]

Mara's eyes fluttered open in annoyance as the bubbly-sweet voice permeated her silence. She wasn't asleep, no, Mara had woken up awhile ago but her body had decided it needed to lay there and adjust to the tedious day ahead of her. [I]'A week, huh?'[/i] The days melted together. Only the drone of announcements had given her any sense of time or regularity since she had woken up here. 

Life here was; calm? Was that the word? 
Yes, it seemed apt enough. Especially since life at home was always so hectic. Her early mornings would meld into a throng of chaos as she prepped breakfast and gathered scattered school supplies. Then she'd rush to stir awake the mini army from their slumbers all while still trying to get herself ready. Though Mara didn't mind the crazy. She was greeted by sleepy smiles and sly giggles as toast and jam would occasionally fly through the air.  Mara welcomed the mess, the noise and the thrill. It was just part of her life. 

But here? Here, there was calm. 
There was no rushing. 
No urgency. 

The rooms didn't echo with the chorus of laughter. There was no petty squabbles over who got what color lunch box or who's turn it was with the television. Instead it was filled with silence. Sure things were lively when Uriel was around. His sarcastic nature was relaxing and his quips often brought Mara to tears as she tried to hide her fit of giggles. Everyone here seemed rather nice despite the reason why they were brought here. Though she still blushed with a fury every time she came across Irina. After the girl had revealed that she was privy to her internal monologs Mara had tried to keep her thoughts calm around her but her subconscious was more or less of a prick.

With a groan Mara rolled out of bed and shimmied out of her night gown. She had wanted to go to the pool after an hour or so of laying there but she supposed that wasn't in the cards today. [I]'You just want to see Arthur.'[/i] The demon voice quipped sleepily bringing an angry blush to her cheeks. Mara gazed at her still healing wound. He had been a god send in the kitchen that day. Mara would've just simply thrown some gauze and taped it up but Arthur made sure everything was clean and properly dressed. All with the same nonchalant attitude she had noticed that first time in the hallway.

By this point she wasn't sure if anything actually ever phased him and while it wasn't entirely [i]unpleasant[/i] to run into him in the pool area she didn't go out if her way to find him. Or anyone actually. Mara enjoyed quietly sitting near or around the group of teens. Listening to them engage with one another and quietly laughing at jokes that would fly. 

Mara nabbed a soft black dress from her closet and stepped into the bathroom. She was going to at least get a decent shower in before their first group session. Plus, the water pressure here was excellent and there was no fight for the hot water. 

There was something about being in water she found freeing. The warmth felt good on her skin as it burned away the latent traces of lethargy that still clung to her body. Just the sense of scrubbing away the day before offered a small bubble of freedom.

Mara hurried through the rest of her morning ritual. Her ivory locks still dripping as she hastily dressed herself and stepped into the hall. Once again she refused to wear any shoes. It wasn't like she was going outside anytime soon, so she didn't see the point. 

Plodding down the hall Mara didn't even bother to look at the signs anymore. She had been to every room they had opened to the teens and even tried to open a few of the locked rooms to no avail. She preferred to stick to the game room or the pool area when not in her training though. Her pool game had even improved some.

Her session with Felix hadn't proven to be very fruitful with [i]how [/i] they were going to train her. Every time she had pried he just shifted the conversation which she found odd. From their first session she pegged him to be blunt, almost painfully so, but she had put it down to the fact they probably didn't know what to do either. It's not like she knew how to activate it herself. In fact most of their sessions was just her talking and there was that one time where she had to run on the treadmill. Now that wasn't a pretty sight.

She had run out of breath rather quickly as sweat poured down her face causing her clothes to stick to her form. Mara might look the picture of health with her slender body but fit she was not. She remembered how her legs ached for the rest of the day and had made a silent pact to work on her muscle strength. A promise she had no intention of actually keeping.

As she arrived she noted she wasn't the first. Stepping in she noticed Irina, Arthur and Nikolai. Her usual flush faltered as Irina's pale complexion and over all weariness caught her eye.  Concern riddled her face as she stepped towards her, [Color=teal]"Hey, are you okay?"[/color] Mara's voice was soft like she would use for a sick child. It looked like Irina hadn't slept at all since she had arrived there and it seemed to be taking its toll.
