The boy assaulted who now?! Did Sunny finally break under the pressure? Eris couldn't really stop his jaw dropping from shock, but he did miraculously hold back the hollow laugh that was about to follow. Huh, the kid snapped a lot sooner than expected, Eris figured it would've been maybe at least a year. Oh wait a second, Ismene [i]did[/i] mention he had called, didn't she? He expected that much, but he didn't think the kid would lose it like [i]that[/i].

[color=ccff99]"Mmm...the dedication is admirable,"[/color] He replied slowly, albeit his expression wasn't too impressed. [color=ccff99]"Better than finding out he had a secret celebration, I suppose."[/color]

But he wasn't going to get into that. Unfortunately, Eris didn't have too much to offer. [color=ccff99]"My grandfather wanted to see me about exchanging some assets, but aside from confirming that Adonis' investments went down faster than a mortal with whisky, it wasn't what I had hoped for,"[/color] He rolled his eyes. As fun as it was seeing his cousins try and fail to reach his own magnitude of success, he had seen that one coming from a mile away. 

[color=ccff99]"I'm more interested in the meeting tonight,"[/color] He stole a glance at his watch, trying not to grin. [color=ccff99]"It'll be the first time Malek and Ismene interact without us around. I'm [i]very[/i] interested to hear how that goes."[/color] He was all too aware that Ismene was essentially losing her seat at the top, and no amount of smartassery or lying was going to convince him that she was just okay with the changes. But he was extremely interested to see how she would handle it, that much was for sure.

He took the blindfold and wrapped it around his eyes. [color=ccff99]"I can take solace with knowing I have a lot in the pipeline. I'm going to end up making that debut sooner than later, too,"[/color] He may or may not have already set out the rumor that the two were going out in preparation for his next hunt, but that was something for later. For now, he'd pop in the earbuds, smoothing his shirt as he readied himself.

Lilie was glad Esi was just as excited and ready to go as she was. She had no idea that there would be two teachers this time around, however. What interested her the most, however, was the mention of resonance research--her eyebrows shot up so quickly they probably looked like they were going to fly off her face. For some reason she had always thought of researchers being the type of people to get locked away in labs, or placed in cities--she honestly never imagined she'd get the chance to actually meet one! He wasn't exactly what she was expecting, either, but that wasn't really so much as a bad thing as it was, again, surprising. 

Once the time came for the class to start, however, she shelved all those thoughts. The girl practically bounced into place, her heart racing with anticipation as she listened intently. Manipulating an element with another person sounded a little tricky, but it was still a challenge she was eager to step up to. She still felt like she had something to prove, so she made sure to mentally go over everything she had learned so far as she approached the barrel. 

[color=00bfff]"Let's do our best!"[/color] She told Johnathan as she decided to take the lead. He already had practice, so it was up to her to catch up. She didn't want to come off as too cautious, but she did dip her fingers into the barrel, pulling up a handful's worth. The sooner she tested their limits, the better, right? With that in mind, she took in a deep breath and sent it over.
