[b][i][center][color=6ecff6]Diamond - Dentention?[/color][/center][/i][/b] SO the answer was 'roll the dice' You didn't need to consciously focus on not blowing up, but you mustn't be distracted either. Just wonderful, this stuff couldn't possibly be more random. Deciding to forego looks, Diamond let her aura flow freely rather than suppressing it, as she did to calm the glow in her eyes. With a longer blink of the eyes, she looked like a lich again. [i][color=6ecff6]Well, here's to hoping we don't get a stealth mission in a dark come Friday. Then again, I'll never set a tripwire with headlights for eyes.[/color][/i] Right. Back on topic. "[color=6ecff6]...Yeah. I suppose.[/color]" Diamond answered the last question. [i][color=6ecff6]Waste of resources? Losing a pawn too early? School losing face? Oh, society frowning, can never have enough of that.[/color][/i] Taking a breath she composed an answer that was the least likely to get her thrown out by the collar, but obscuring least of the truth. "[color=6ecff6]It just never crossed my mind - to ask that is. I'm still not used to this. Actually getting help when I need it. I've been on my own as far as I can recall. Trust doesn't come easily for me, and I expect it equally as little. I'll try to behave.[/color]" A thought occurred to her. [i][color=6ecff6]I wonder if she thinks of this as punishment? Hmm. Looks like more of a free lesson or a consultation from over here. Last teacher assaulted me with the output of a Bullhead's reactor as punishment. This one doesn't quite reach the bar.[/color][/i] "[color=6ecff6]Do what you need to do. But I did not have any ill intention doing this.[/color]" she ended.
