Veronica barely paid any attention, more interested in the ends of her hair. The physical training they endured was starting to affect her in ways she wasn't appreciating, and she swore some of her ends were starting to split. A haircut was definitely due, but considering the shoddy grooming services the school offered, she wasn't sure she could trust them with what she considered to be her best feature. Besides, all the talks of Crests and the like were things she heard and found boring. She was already born with the divine right, did she really need to be lectured on it any further?

At Kayden's words, she openly rolled her eyes. [color=lightsalmon]"Imagine being concerned about the very thing that has deemed you worthy in the eyes of the Goddess,"[/color] She stated, flipping her hair over her shoulder. [color=lightsalmon]"I can't relate."[/color]

Meanwhile, Derec was hot on Lysander's heels as they gave themselves some distance, though his patience wore thin. Once he thought they were far enough, he ended up ripping into the Professor. [color=turquoise]"In what world could I possibly continue staying in the shadows when I'm enrolled in a class specializing in showing off [i]Crests?[/i]"[/color] He threw all formality to the wind, albeit there was visible panic as opposed to anger by the time he finished speaking.

Lysander looked at Derec, frowning. [color=plum]"On the contrary, I believed if you could control it now, it was better than the symbol appearing during combat without intention,"[/color] He replied, keeping his voice down.

[color=turquoise]"Couldn't I have been put in a private class? Or...or at least I could have not been completely blindsided by this!"[/color]

[color=plum]"What did you think this introductory class was?"[/color]

Derec took a few seconds to collect himself before he continued. [color=turquoise]"Professor, I was promised safety while I attended. Don't you think this compromises that somewhat?"[/color]

Lysander stared at Derec for a moment. [color=plum]"No,"[/color] He answered honestly. [color=plum]"The truth of the matter is that the truth will come out, one way or the other. All we can do is prepare you the best we can, and I believe these classes will do so."[/color]
