Aruna had been thinking of what to say to anyone who asked what had happened almost since she woke. It had been in the underlay of her thoughts throughout her trip with Deven. So, when the Centurian woman asked, in her own way, what happened, Aruna was ready with a steady reply.
"After the demonstrations I went to go for a small flight. It," she had to grit her teeth as they set her down on a nearby table, "helps to calm my nerves. When I was out there, Gods I must have been more distracted than I thought, because I clipped a building. Then fell and managed to slow my decent using my wings, though not without further hurting myself. I believe I landed on a rake or something when I crashed, I'm not sure because I was unconscious. Then Deven found me and brought me here."

Aruna was positive that her position at Twilight college would be in much danger if she told them she had been involved in what was sure to be an assassination attempt. She needed this school because, ironic though it was, it was imperative to her survival. She needed the skills that were taught here. She also hoped that Deven caught on to the lie and, she prayed to no one in particular, that he was [i]good[/i] at it.
