Rainna's day of classes had been everything she had expected - being swamped with remarks like "Awesome party," and "You were gone like, forever," as well as with questions such as "Where did you go?" and "What happened to you?" from fellow students who had obviously been at the party the night before. They came up to her in the classrooms, along the corridors, basically anyway she went. Of course, remembering how she and the others who had witnessed the 'incident' had agreed to keep it among themselves for the time being, she had to come up with some excuse for her disappearance and proceeded to repeat it to anyone who asked throughout the day. She could not even remember half of the students who had spoken to her, and made a mental note to start asking people for names the next time she opened her dorm to the student body.

The late afternoon saw the student cohort of Skyline where they would usually be on that day and time of the week - at their regular power training session in the middle of Roxgeo Forest. As she made her way over to the clearing where the rest were gathering, Rainna realized that it had been the longest time she had been left alone for during the day, and concluded that anyone who wanted to speak to her about the party had already done so. The steps for the session were very routine for any student who had been at Skyline for at least a month, and Rainna found herself searching for her name and image on the large hologram screen like she always would to find her assigned partners. Well, she remembered who her past partners were, at least.

Despite not having been paired up with her current partner before, that trench coat which he almost always wore ensured that she recognized him right away. It had also been how she had identified him the night before. Surely there was no point in pretending that neither of them saw what they did then, but what good would come out of discussing it anyway? He was not difficult to spot in the crowd of students, and she immediately approached him with a warm smile gracing her lips.

"Adam Hill," she began. "It's great to finally put a name to the face. How about a special ability as well?"

Rainna reach down and picked a piece of bark off of the forest ground. She then blew on it, channeling a stream of white mist through her lips and onto the wood. The contact emitted a subtle hissing noise as the bark began to disintegrate, and she casually dropped it before the effects of the mist ate it up completely. A faint floral scent lingered in the air for a moment and then vanished as she turned back to Adam with a grin.

"Your turn, Sweetie."
