Lilie let out a tiny sound of protest as Salem messed with her hair, taking a second to fix her earmuffs and ponytail. Well, at least he gave her a compliment, so she would give him a pass there. As she smoothed out the top of her head, she thought about what he said. A lot did happen in a short amount of time, didn't it? She hoped she had improved, but she felt like she had to work on it every chance she had single day just to keep up with everyone. Her affinity was still super clingy, and if she wasn't careful and got too comfortable, she'd probably end up regressing or something.

But that kind of thinking was only going to slow her down--she still had every intention of having excellent grades across the board with one class as an exception--so she put those thoughts aside as Salem admitted he was nervous. [color=deepskyblue]"Hey, we've worked our butts off, and this practical is [i]the[/i] time to shine. You already have the right thought process, all that's left is to just do it,"[/color] She told him. [color=deepskyblue]"You're gonna be great."[/color]

As she took a tiny pause to drink more, she flashed another grin at him. [color=deepskyblue]"Now that you've given me some of your famous secret magic tea, I've got no worries. Everything will be fine,"[/color] She winked.

Once Dr.Arjin's announcement was made, Lilie felt the excitement come rushing back: it was showtime! [color=deepskyblue]"Hey, look, this is you,"[/color] She told Salem, pointing to his name. [color=deepskyblue]"I'll see you at the finish line, then!"[/color] She said, spotting her own name nearby.
