Lola watched from her spot on the couch as Aloysius rearranged her boxes for her, a gentle small playing on her lips. He did have a point, someone had to keep their mum somewhat in check and Aloysius had much more bargaining power with her than Lola did. Besides, he was her older brother, it was his job to protect her, right? That's what their dad would always say at least. That was when Al snapped Lola out of her thoughts when the mention of the hydromage exercises the guild gave her. 

Although she wasn't as powerful as Salem and Aloysius was next in the Leighton line thanks to both age and power rating she was still a Leighton, great things were expected from her. She didn't feel like a Leighton though, she wasn't strategic or cunning. Although Aloysius was relatively decent there were moments where cracks would show and the potential of a ruthless and pompous person would show, Lola didn't seem to have that. Not to mention she didn't feel powerful, seeming to be somewhat on par with the higher rankers from normal magi families. Honestly Lola wasn't sure if she even wanted to be a magi, part of her wanted to run from it all.

She gives an exasperated sigh. [color=FFDDFD]”Not really. School's been a lot and the SATs are coming up."[/color] Only a half lie. Registering to do her SATs in Junior year was an almost tactical affair for the young woman, knowing it could be an excuse to get out of bulk training as she figured out where she stood with her powers.
