Aster burst out of the room she shared with Alisea, feet skidding strangely as she equipped her shoes while running. She wanted to call "wait up!", but imagined that there was little she could do that would be more mortifying than that. Even so, she couldn't be left behind...

"Alisea! Reylan!" She stopped short of the two, equipping her armor with a faint "pop" as she did. "Sorry, I didn't realize that the plan was to head out so quickly." She blushed, an involuntary reaction that was becoming far too instinctive.

"Reylan, I'd be happy to spar with you, if you still need a partner. It'd be good for us both, right?" she noticed the dark-haired stranger, and nervously extended one hand. "I'm sorry, I interrupted you, didn't I? I just woke up, so I'm afraid I'm a little bit out-of-sorts. I'm Aster, a swordswoman. What did you say your name was?" She instinctively positioned herself near Alisea, without any conscious choice on her part, but just because her friend's presence made her feel more at ease.
