Irina Ivanov
Auditorium: [@Lillium][@SheriffLlama][@Thundercrash]

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. If it were possible to be able to hear her mental shouts echo, that would probably be the case for Irina. From her peripheral vision she couldn't see any changes on the faces of the teenagers around her which filled the young woman with disillusionment. 

Hope was nearly lost until confusion briefly flashed through Irina's mind. It wasn't her confusion though; it was Stasya? It worked with her? 

Irina turned slightly to look over at her with wide eyes. 

[i]'It worked! It actually worked!'[/i] She had completely lost her concentration and merely thought to herself, so she merely have Stasya a small nod before turning slightly at the sound of someone's voice in her ear. It was Abel and he heard as well. [i]'He heard too?!'[/i] 

Irina couldn't believe that she had actually succeeded at something by herself. On the outside she had kept herself rather collected with the occasional stare when she would blank out or concentrate. She wanted to respond either mentally or vocally to Abel but the woman in front of the group spoke, Irina froze. 

[b]'Discovered something interesting, Miss Ivanov?'[/b] 

Irina simply stared at Nilin with wide eyes as she was taken by surprise for being called out. Her first words were a couple of uh' sand um's. How was she going to explain what she had just discovered? Actually, [i]why[/i] would she explain it? No, she wouldn't. Irina cleared her throat and slightly shook her head, "Nothing interesting, just annoying. You made a big confusion and everyone has many questions. It is getting kind of distracting." 
Flawless. For the first time in her life she felt as if she had said a lie as effortlessly that even she would have believed it. She wasn't exactly lying but she wasn't telling the truth for sure. Everyone around was confused but that wasn't what she was focused on.

Her eyes didn't last too long in making eye contact with Nilin though as she began to create something amazing in her hands. Without even trying, Irina's mind completely blanked out as she witnessed the illusion that unfolded in front of her. [i]'Is this what she does? This is why I can't get inside her head...'[/i] It left the young woman completely astounded. Her green eyes looked on with great interest once the snowflakes dispersed. She thought of all the many possibilities of how it was possible for Nilin to have done what she did. It was difficult for Irina to rule out the possibility that maybe, just maybe, Nilin could do the same thing that she could do and was causing everyone to think that they were seeing the bird that had slowly changed into snow flakes.
