Given the circumstances, it seemed to make a lot of sense that a hero would be there, especially since she seemed to be a relative of someone who was a friend of Roy. Considering he was also a classmate of Roy, Ruby had to know him! It took her a few second to connect the dots, but she did so eventually upon thinking about her lastname again. [color=92278f]"So you're Acion's sister then? I guess that'd make sense..."[/color] After all, Acion was one of the few students she had actually talked to properly a few times already after they had faced off in the first exercise that Ruby was allowed to partake in. Since Acion was her first real encounter during the exercise, he was quite memorable for the nekomimi. Before leaving, the grown-up decided to leave some words of encouragement, especially for Ruby. It caught her a bit off guard, especially the winking part at the end, but it was a nice feeling nonetheless to hear these words from someone in Aurelia's position. Ruby awkwardly scratched the back of her head with one hand and replied [color=92278f]"Of course."[/color] Just like Aurelia, Ruby turned her attention back to her old teammate after he had so carelessly teased her. This time however, the neko decided not to let his cheekiness get to her! As if his words barely had any effect on her, Ruby decided to play as if she felt insulted by the belief that she would not be worried about him, even though she understood that he was just teasing her. [color=92278f]"Of course I am worried about you! It is only natural to worry for one's classmates isn't it?"[/color] The neko had decided not to call Roy a friend since she wasn't exactly sure whether he'd be okay with Ruby considering him a friend. As depressing as that sounded since it might have been natural in Roy's mind, Ruby just did not want to risk anything so she decided to stick with this rather neutral way of saying it. Before long though, the boy claimed his worries about Ruby's hands which were wrapped in bandages thanks to her training just a few hours ago. She was quite baffled by the fact that a boy with so many injuries, who can barely move around without the wheelchair he was sitting in was worried about a few bandages on Ruby's hands despite the fact that she can move them well as she had just displayed so the injuries couldn't be that severe. [color=92278f]"It does not matter what happened to my hands... have you looked at yourself? You're in a way worse shape than I am."[/color] Before he had a chance to reply, her cat-ears actually twitched as they picked up on the noises behind her at the other end of the hallway. Ruby recognized Kaida immediately upon turning her head to check out who was there and then looked back to Roy. Without saying much she made it clear that she'd follow him to her room by nodding to him. If necessary, she'd even push his wheelchair there!
