[h2][color=DarkBlue]Sapphire Rode[/color] - Infirmary[/h2] Sapphire could feel the almost palpably uncomfortable atmosphere dissipate as though the topic both of them had been skirting around had dissolved into thin air. When Oswald brought up their trip to Vale Sapphire smiled slightly. [color=DarkBlue]"Perhaps not your smoothest maneuver but it was still fun."[/color] Though she'd been a bit annoyed at first Sapphire hadn't minded Emerald and Diamond's company. Emerald reminded Sapphire quite a bit of Shiro but despite that she didn't find the cat faunus annoying. Maybe it was because she was female or physically smaller or maybe because despite Emerald's airheadedness Sapphire was sure when the chips were down Emerald wouldn't fold. Either way Sapphire found her to be good company, most of the time anyways. Diamond on the other hand... well her need to flaunt authority was a little obvious for Sapphire's taste. It would likely come back to her in the end. A slight smile graced her face at the thought of what Sapphire's Uncle would have done if he'd seen Diamond brandishing her aura daggers. She shrugged at Oswald's assertion that he wouldn't be able to enjoy Monday's events. [color=DarkBlue]"You never know the difference a couple of days can make. You might not be well enough to take part in the events but you should be able to sit in the stands at least. If you're lucky your parents will be there to cheer you up. Think they'll make the trip?"[/color] [@Multi_Media_Man]
