[color=f7941d]“Peony...”[/color]  Callie set her eyes on her as one would tear off a plaster – quickly, to hurry through the pain.  [color=f7941d]“You’ve got power a lot like Lei Qingshe’s – a Zodiac defector, one of our teammates.”  [i]She of jade-spun hair and fire opal eyes.[/i]  “She’s missing right now and none of us can teach you like she’ll be able to – and she wasn’t one to share secrets about her [i]own[/i] power,”[/color] she added with a soft laugh – [color=f7941d]“but we’ve all seen her in action.  Maybe we can walk you through some things.”[/color]

Peony looked up at her A-rank senior and felt… conflicted.

“It’s not that I’m not grateful but…” She looked down at her hand, the one that had been and would yet be metal, “I barely understand what my Arm is capable of. It’s like I’m feeling a rushing current through a film but I can only gather what leaks through.” While it was a somewhat melodramatic depiction, it was true to what she felt.

Even so, she trusted herself to unlock its power and her Arm to provide. Of course they would, they were one and the same.

She looked back up at Callie and placed the hand over her heart and smiled. “I accept though. I’ll listen to anything and everything you can tell me. At the end of the day, we’re in this together.”
