Rin stopped and looked at his hands. "Ah, shit!" He shook his hands and took a few deep breaths, in doing so the aura died down.

While Rin calmed down, Soren went back to his poor book, running his thumb over the edges of the pages and 'tch-ing' to himself at the few that crumbled into ash. It was an older book, more prone to damage then most. How wasteful.

"..animal." he grumbled under his breath, the first sign of anything other then annoyance in his tone.

Rin let out a breath once he was completely calmed again. He worked to rewrap his tail around his torso. As much as he preferred to have it free people had a habit of pulling it and that hurt. A lot.

"Whatever, you shouldn't read expensive books out where people might be passin' by anyway." He wasn't to blame for this. There was no way he was taking the blame for it.

Soren made a rude 'hmpth' noise, not even bothering to turn back around to face Rin.

"Think whatever you want. I'm done arguing with someone that can't even acknowledge that they might be wrong. I have more productive things I could be doing, like trying to break down a brick wall with my head."

"Yeah you go do that." Rin stuck his tongue out before turning to go find something else to do. As he did he sneeze again, luckily no fire sprung up this time.

"Damn I need to go to see the doc." He muttered and continued walking.

[Lee gives a shrug. With his own brother having a strange power that can destroy lives with the ability to shift into a demon form, being cold was nothing after fighting someone like him numerous times. If he didn't think he could take it, he wouldn't have offered.]

Your choice. I'm not afraid.

[She peels off her right glove to reveal the Nether made hand beneath. The energy is never still even though it takes on the form of a hand.

Without hesitation she takes his hand and true to her word it's cold. Not like ice but still cold. And unlike flesh it doesn't heat up from a touch. It's also leaves the person feeling light, tingling feeling.

Obviously a situation like this doesn't other her, she's calm and in control like this.]

Happy now?

[Despite the cold, he shakes her hand and smiles comfortingly.]

It's finally nice to meet you, Dalial Galloway.

[It didn't seem to bother him at all either. In fact, it was something more akin to warm curiosity than shock and his brother was far worse even if Lee himself was adopted into the family.]

Yes, I'm happy now. Thank you.

[The handshake is a little awkward as she lacks the ability to tell exactly how much pressure she's exerting. Not to mention her movements with her arms are still not as smooth as they would be if they were her real arms.]

Good. [She pulls her hand back works to put her glove back on.]

So what kinda trainin' did y'have in mind?

[He nods his head and flexes his fingers.]

What have you been able to do so far?

Wouldn' that be in m'file? Or are you jus' wantin' me t'say?

[She eyes him as she waits for his answer. She's not suspicious of him, in fact she's actually feeling a little bit at ease, which shows with how much her accent is slipping out.]

-Hell no. In fact, he just starts walking faster and pretends to not even notice her.-

Young men shouldn't rush so much. [ That voice is a lot closer than it should be. In fact, how she got to the point where she was walking out from a tree near his new trajectory was anyone's guess. ]

[Action: Outside Gardens]

When not teaching a class, Robin liked to sit and observe the rest of the school. During lunch, she usually found herself sitting under the same tree, eating her lunch while watching everyone else interact and enjoy herself. It wasn't that she liked being alone, not at all. Just just enjoyed observing, since that is what she has always done.

She thinks back to some of her previous travels to India, walking down a street on the way to some old Hindu ruins in the jungle. The kids playing on the street, oblivious that the lady walking past them was a mutant. She compared them to how these mutant kids in front of her were playing just the same way.

She smiled. If only people could realize that they were not so different from each other.

However, she was interrupted from her thoughts as an object goes flying towards her head. Without even flinching, a hand grew from her shoulder and caught it. She turn towards the direction it came from, and smiled at who caused it to fly toward her.

"I believe this is yours."

[Action: History Class(right after the NYC incident)]

[As you walk into class the teacher Miss Nico Robin is sitting at her desk, reading a book titled, "Utopias: A Brief History from Ancient Writings to Virtual Communities" Behind her There is a arm coming out from the wall, writing down the days assignment. Seems to be a continuation from last weeks class on Mesopotamia.

When the bell Rings, Her arm finishes writing on the board, and she closes her book. She stands up and walks to the front of the class.]

Welcome again. I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. Before we start today's subject, I wanted to talk about what happened last weekend in New York City. Can anyone here tell me what they know about the Brotherhood of mutants?

-To say that Reimu jumped was an understatement. He practically leaped back, falling right on his ass. Which, really, was just stupid and embarrassing because, duh, of COURSE she wasn't normal. She was at the school. Hell, they had students who could do shit like that. But still, if it was shock she was aiming for, it worked.-

[He shifts his weight to the side with one hand on his hip, the other hand raised with a slight tilt to his head and a smile.]

Oh, now what kind of teacher would I be if I didn't read on every student I teach? I want to hear it from you. What's on paper and what you are confident with are two different things. Yes?

[Elian's hands are working the invisible tablets. He can see them but others would see him as just making weird actions of sweeping and poking at nothing.]

The information you seek is in an open file inside the school's database. Accessing.

[The technopath brushes aside one window and expands his hand to bring up another. He then finds what he's looking for and blinks, bringing up the data on the flat screen television as if it was a normal thing.]

Chika couldn't help but stare for a moment as she saw a hand grow out of this woman (who Chika was pretty sure was a teacher, but she didn't know which class and considering that she was only 11, ) and grab the ball that went flying away when one of the older kids kinda threw the ball too much.

Of course, the staring was only for a moment before she let out a huge grin and ran up to her. "Wow! Thanks! Who knows how far that would've gone if you didn't grab it!?"

[action: hedge maze]

There's a bench along one of the least-traveled parts of the maze, close to one of the most twisting, turning, dead -end paths. And on this bench, Yvette sits, crouched like an animal and watching the leaves at the very top of the hedges flutter in the wind.

She remains still, like a deer, her wide blue eyes transfixed above her head. She feels the wind on her skin, blowing through the quills that make up her hair, her claws idly scraping at the stone of the bench. Unless she hears a noise nearby, she remains nearly oblivious, lost in thoughts no one else can know.

[action: classroom]

It's pretty clear Yvette's not comfortable sitting in the desk, but she tries, seeing all the other children doing so. She keeps shifting, though, trying to find a position where she feels comfortable without hunching over or perching on top of the desk itself.

When papers are passed out to each desk, she cocks her head, attempting to understand just what's been placed in front of her. She still knows very little English, and can read even less than that. So when it comes to understanding the assignment? She's lost.

Her face leans closer as she scrutinizes the page, trying to discern any meaning to it.

[ At first, her own surprise is apparent. If someone fell on their rear so suddenly, wouldn't that be the natural response?

But there is just something about that face of his...

No. Her luck couldn't be this good. ]

[Class only just begun, the teacher has barely gotten a word in, and Kida Masaomi is already fast asleep at his desk, his only saving grace being that he's not snoring or drooling. Forehead resting on his folded arms, he obscures his closed eyes from view, his only movement the rising and falling of his chest.

...Who really needs History anyway? Totally not important.]

[Robin chuckles slightly.]

Well, I supposed I didn't say you couldn't look it up. Elian, why don't you tell the class about their leader then.

Robin smiled as she lowered the ball to Chika. "Given some of the powers you kids have, this ball could have went all the way to the moon."

[ Just like that, the expression is gone, replaced with an amused one as she crouches down and peers at the boy. ] See what I mean?

[Unluckily for Kida, Robin is quite astute, and watches him for a moment as she walks towards the window. She then smiles, and crosses her arms.

A pair of arms bloom from Kida's back. They then proceed to poke Kida in the head.]
