[h2][color=DarkBlue]Sapphire Rode[/color] - Infirmary[/h2]
Sapphire shook her head annoyedly thinking about Shiro. If he'd talked to Emerald about it all of Team Codex would know soon enough. Perhaps the damage would stop there but the realist in Sapphire suspected that wouldn't be the case. Shiro was too socially inept to even recognize that it might be a sore subject for her. With their mission otherwise going off without a hitch Sapphire's aquaphobia would be the first thing the tiger faunus vocalized every time someone asked "How'd the mission go?" And being that the missions were a school wide event of significant excitement that question would be asked often by many different people.

All of that flashed through her mind in a second as she resolved to let no one know that either her aquaphobia or its sudden common knowledge in any way bothered her. For the moment though her own social problems weren't especially relevant.

[color=DarkBlue]"I've heard the coastal towns can be rough. Often makes me wonder why people stay out there."[/color] It was not as though her own living situation growing up had been especially pleasant but the factors in her life had forced her to remain despite the possibility of bodily harm. The outer town villagers didn't have the same sort of defense. [color=DarkBlue]"I suppose an argument could be made for sticking by what you've built but it makes you question what was going through the heads of the people that first settled those towns. I'd want somewhere safer to raise my family. Though you'd know better than me whatever charm that kind of life holds."[/color]

As Oswald described his personal mindset regarding training an image came into her head of the aftermath of Oswald's previous mission. The punching bag in the training hall stained with his blood from his split and bruised knuckles as he beat the thing so badly that his hands suffered worse than the bag he was fighting. [color=DarkBlue]"There are other ways to train hard and live up to your obligations. Your way of training..."[/color] she sighed and shook her head trying to find a way to vocalize what she meant. She wasn't all that good at this. Cecily was the sensitive one in the family and Demetra the insightful one. Sapphire was more the violent one of the three. She was better at settling things physically than emotionally. It worked well enough, most of the time anyways.

[color=DarkBlue]"I just mean... you might try easing up a bit. If what I walked in on last week was any indication your kind of training is going to burn out your body before you manage to graduate. You wouldn't be a help to anyone like that, least of all yourself. Doing more isn't always as effective as doing better."[/color]
