Breeze nodded thoughtfully as the added on weight made the girl groan soon after, using both hands to lean back from where she was sitting. Better to get use to the weight now rather than later with there being actual stakes.
[color=#F59A44][b]"Y-Yeah, I h-hope so too..."[/b][/color] A barely visible smile pulled at her lips before she reached into her bag yet again and pulled out a book this time. Most of her training boiled down to getting accustomed to various weights, so she definitely had enough downtime to get some reading or homework done. Her dad would kill her if she spent any waking second relaxing...

Unfortunately, it looked like Keri's hopeful words weren't going to come true any time soon, a least from the way Eira saw everything. Breeze never got the chance to speak on it, nor was she going to as Freya and Renard made their way into the gym, just in time to hear Eira's cynical words. Everything just seemed to fall apart after that.

Everyone was just...so high strung. Either really upset, or really angry. Gabby even resorted to physically letting out her anger on the unsuspecting punching bag, green eyes wide as she toppled to the ground, Kerianne on her feet in seconds to go help the other. Breeze on the other hand, was practically frozen, hands clutching tightly on the book she planned to making a dent in. It would be too hard to focus with everyone being like...[i]this[/i].

The regular anxiety building up in her little frame surged, body shaking ever so slightly while all of this was happening, and even more so when she caught sight of Yi sliding down from the roof on a rope; she should honestly be use to this, but her nature made it impossible.

And while she didn't want to admit it, she felt like she was at home right now, the one place she thought she could escape all of it, even if it were just for a few hours.

As Eira took her leave, Breeze honestly felt like doing the same, but where would she even go? Plus removing all the blocks in her body would take too long and resort in people asking her questions. Luckily, Gabby was there to have her stop, wanting to say something to everyone. Most of it had nothing to do with the green haired girl, but she could still feel the gratitude and thought that went into each sentence. Of course she was grateful that all of her friends made it out alive from such a scary and dangerous situation, and the reason she hadn't spoken to Renard was because she didn't want to accidentally trigger him, but Breeze still nodded slightly (although it could be mistake for for more trembling) in agreement.

Her nodding became more and more noticeable as Kerianne, then Freya gave their two cents on it all. And they were right. So right in fact, that even Breeze let her voice be heard.

[color=#F59A44][b]"Th-Thank you for treating us so nicely a-all the time. I-It really means a lot...and makes it less painful to...to keep going. Y-You mean a lot more to us...to m-me than you c-can ever imag-gine. A-And then some!"[/b][/color] She didn't say as much as the others, but her words held an underlying context she was still nervous to let the other knows about. Regardless, the normally downcast eyes, looking over at Renard as a shaky smile pulled slightly on her lips.

...Maybe what Keri said earlier did have some merit.
