[/color] the brunette replied back to the neko with her cheeks puffed out, she also squeezed Ruby's hand a bit tighter but not so much to cause pain. Persia was a bit hurt that she questioned her declaration of rivalry. She tried her best to appear angry with Ruby but it was hard to do with someone so innocent. They only met just moments ago so all she could do was pout since Ruby did have a right to question her. Persia whipped her hair back around facing the tree that she was in prior to as that was their destination. [color=8493ca]"The hero field is full of competition, it is only natural to have rivals." [/color] She turned her head slightly to the right to look at Ruby, immediately noticing that she a bit taller than her. Persia was only 5'2 while ruby was 5'6. Once they reached to tree she let go of Ruby's hand and turned around with a smile on her face. She didn't know exactly why she was about to showRuby this, the girl was a complete stranger and the only thing known about here was her name and that she was in the hero course. She couldn't show her quirk just yet, it would be too weird and she doubt Ruby go to that empty space just yet. Persia began fiddling her thumbs as she got a little nervous. She wanted to show Ruby her quirk but a sudden change of plans left her empty handed. Her face turned slightly red out of embarassment. A cool breeze picked up in the momentary silence betweeen the two which gave her an idea. [color=8493ca]"T-there is a nice breeze blowing at the top of this tree, and an even nicer view. Would you like to go up and see?"[/color] She swayed back and forth as she awaited Ruby's reply, Her heart was beating Fast like a bongo hoping she didn't screw things up. [@melpaws]
