[sup] [color=D25167]"So where do you come from?"[/color] Jade's question rolled down her spine. Mora let her eyes settle to the soft ground below her, rocking back onto her heels. What was she going to tell the girl? That she came from Krolva? The town didn't exactly have the [i]best[/i] reputation. It's also probably why she didn't recognize any of her fellow cadets. A stray ribbon of hair escaped from its hold, twisting in the gentle breeze and tickling her cheek. She scraped it beneath her fingertips and attempted to tuck it away. 

Maybe Jade noticed her hesitation or maybe she was just impatient. Either way Mora let out a soft sigh if relief as the smaller girl motioned for them to walk together. Movement was a welcome distraction from her growing discomfort. [color=A0522D]"No where special really. I doubt you've even heard of it,"[/color] she began to explain while the two begun to pick their way across the field. Mora noticed her companion's stride falter midstep; those lavender eye's growing round while her mouth fell softly a gap. [color=D25167]"No way,"[/color] Jade whispered. 

[color=A0522D]"Huh,"[/color] Mora question, her brows knitting together in confusion. The petite girl's dark head turned to face away from her, scanning across the field. Mora looked out over in the direction Jade was faced but saw nothing unusual. Was she missing something? [color=A0522D]"Are you okay?"[/color] Her voice was laden with confusion and worry. But as she looked down at the smile that graced Jade's upward tilted face Mora found herself even more confused. 

[color=D25167]"Oh, Mora, would you like to meet someone?"[/color]

[i][color=A0522D]Meet someone?[/color][/i] Her eyes traveled around the many faces around them. Who? Where? She felt her confusion rise another level as Jade sprung into high spirited waves and cheers towards another girl. [color=D25167]"Lauren! Come on, Mora,"[/color] she said, a delicate hand reaching back to grasp hers with a surprisingly solid tug. Mora lurched forward a half step before the girl quickly released her ans sprang forward. She trailed behind eyeing the pair of girls she bounded towards; one was a rather tall blonde girl whose long hair was put up in a much neater fashion than Mora was able to accomplish. The other being the smaller brunette, her face flushed a soft pink from being sent out on a punishment run earlier. 

Mora couldn't stifle a grin while she watched Jade practically leap into the brunette's arms. [i][color=A0522D]That one must be Lauren then.[/color][/i] She picked up her pace and closed the distance between them as Jade apologized with a, [color=D25167]"“I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize . . ."[/color] Her face burning bright with embaressment once again. 

She lifted her right hand and rested it on the nape of her neck, the other planting firmly on her hip. [Color=A0522D]"Ah, so you're Lauren. Jade's spoken highly of you."[/color] It was a lie of course. Mora didn't know any of these girls from atom but she wanted to help ease past Jade's obvious discomfort. [color=A0522D]"I'm Mora by the way. And who might you be?"[/color] She cocked her head to the side and locked eyes with the blonde, flashing her best grin at her.[/sup]
