"You're welcome..."  The silence that followed Synna's reply was an awkward one, even with the secrets revealed between her and her roommate it seemed there were still no small number of bridges to cross before they would truly know each other.  Aoi was first to break the silence with her suggestion and Synna was grateful for it, finding the uncertainty between them almost painful in that moment.  "Explore?"  Trepidation showed in her voice but as she recalled the uniform she now wore the memory of the stares she had received before seemed faded enough that it provided nothing beyond a feeble protest before giving up the ghost.<br/><br/>"Alright...  Let's explore."  Synna was more curious about the gyms and the arena itself, to know the land she might someday have to do battle upon.  Setting out, the pair made their way down the stairs towards the front entrance of the building again to emerge into the sunlit afternoon.  Of course they didn't get far before a pair of boys hailed them, one of them dark haired with tan skin while another had a mop of deep blue atop his head to contrast with his much fairer colouration.<br/><br/>"Hello..."  Synna wasn't really sure what else to say beyond an awkward response to the greeting the taller boy delivered and she latched on to the question that the other asked.  "Actually I don't know...  I just put this on since it seemed like the thing to do..."  She gave a questioning look to Aoi.  "Do we need the uniforms for the ceremony?"  It wasn't like Synna planned to switch back to her old clothes but she felt a little guilty at being unable to answer the question.
