Sepia watched Skyra go, scrutinizing her as she went out the door. As much as she'd like to be able to shut off her semblance and focus on recovering, she had already decided that she might as well use it given that it showed no signs of going away any time soon. Reaching out tentatively in her mind toward the cat faunus, she almost jerked back when she made contact. There was...a lot going on here. Keeping her position as purely receptive in the few seconds she had before she'd lose track of her teammate, she gently plucked along a few strands of feelings. Not thoughts, mind you. That would be more invasive than she was comfortable with, and Skyra would probably "hear" her if she strengthened their connection too much. As it was, she might notice an unfamiliar feeling, but nothing indicative of its source being another person, as Sepia couldn't recall ever having used her semblance (at least not in this way) on her teammate before. 

Chewing on her lower lip as she finished off her breakfast, the brunette quickly tried her best to smooth down a few rough edges in her friend(?)'s mood, as temporary as it might be. No one could fix Skyra's problems but Skyra. There was something else, too. She gave a small smile as she noted a small, but unmistakable feeling of warmth somewhere buried underneath all the conflicted prickliness. [color=Sienna]"Sunrise orange..."[/color] she murmured under her breath. Withdrawing gently with a relived and somewhat satisfied sigh, Sepia stood up and did her best to tidy up so Yue wouldn't have so much to do. [i]"She does seem to like to please, though. I guess that means I have to work on her too."[/i]

Sepia had no illusions about her intelligence when it came to school and studying. All of that factual blah-blah just went through one furry ear and out the other, and sitting still for so long was dreadfully boring. However, she liked to think that she got to have good "person-sense" in return for her shoddy grades. Slinging her at last found dress, undergarments, and leggings over her shoulder, she plucked a sticky-note pad and pencil off of her bedside table and started scratching out a rough list:

[b]
Sky: Extra patience. Prob. needs to have a listener.

Krys: Nothing right now. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders. Observe.

Yue: Build her up. Needs more self-worth to be good teammate (if that's Beacon's idea).

[/b]
Sepia paused thoughtfully for a moment, then added:
[b]
Shiro: Worries me :(
[/b]

[i]"If anyone sees this, they're going to think I'm nuts."[/i] Even the ditzy dog could tell that much. She needed it, though, if she wanted to remember any of her thoughts later. After taking a shower and getting ready for the day, she folded it twice and tucked it into her bra. Deeming herself presentable, she grabbed Orthus and headed into the hall, intending on making her way outside to practice with its grappling function.
