Kalama paled noticeably as Caleb brought up Daria, panic rising for a moment until she realized he still didn't know anything else about the situation. Guilt started to replace the panic, and then Rowan opened his mouth.

[color=cadetblue]"Are you sure she would want to see us, Caleb?"[/color] The veteran asked, scratching his short beard awkwardly. [color=cadetblue]"I would be glad to visit, but I'm not sure seeing her ex would really be best for her healing..."[/color]

Luckily for Kal, the others started arriving before that conversation could continue. She thanked the other girls for bringing treats, feeling a little guilty that she hadn't thought of the same. Maybe she should have spent last night testing her magic cooking instead of her fire, in hindsight [color=purple]"What did you learn, Kyle?"[/color] She asked eagerly, hoping there would be something he had learned that could help her out too.

[color=cadetblue]"Here she comes,"[/color] Rowan interrupted, giving them a warning glance about the topic of conversation as the TA hurried towards them, the high heels on her black boots rapping sharply against the linoleum floors.

[color=silver]"Sorry I'm running late,"[/color] Bela Ward said to the group, shoving her armful of papers and folders into Rowan's open hands as she fumbled for her keys and unlocked the door, flipping on the lights and ushering them all inside. The TA was a tall and thin woman who looked maybe 25, with thin features and fine blonde hair in a messy pixie cut. She wore a rosey pink sweater dress and black tights, and Kalama couldn't help but notice that her makeup was impeccable: dramatic winged eyeliner, smokey eyeshadow, blood red lipstick without a smudge or flaw.

[color=cadetblue]"No problem, we were just discussing what questions we had,"[/color] Rowan explained, setting her things down on the large round table before pulling up a seat across from her. It seemed to make more sense to have the people with emotionally tuned powers sit closest to their target. [color=cadetblue]"I think we were all a bit confused about that one class over ritual and superstition. You know, the one where we did that chant or summoning thing."[/color]

[color=silver]"The ritual of awakening? That's not on the midterm, I wouldn't worry too much about it,"[/color] Bela advised, putting on a thick pair of glasses and sorting through her papers. [color=silver]"Fascinating to think that people used to consider things like that extremely powerful, isn't it?"[/color]
