(Figured I'd just mention this here, to avoid some confusion with the PM system: Virgo, G-Mess? I was planning on just having Amber snatch up Winter to take her to class, but there is a possibility of introducing my other char by having Regina be the one to find Telluria and Winter. Which would you guys prefer? and Please, let me know when the connection can happen: With Amber on the move, I can have Amber find Winter at any point.)<br/><br/>[Avery and Amber]<br/><br/>Amber makes another leap across an intersection, sniffing intently. "Hey, I think she's actually headed toward the school! We're getting closer!" the big purple alien sniffs again, curiously trying to confirm something. "Hmmmmm... is that Telly I smell?"<br/><br/>She does seem to notice Avery's discomfort when he buries his face in her tail. "You know, if you're feeling sick, I coooould stuff you up my butt. I'm not sure that would help though, cause I gotta keep moving. I'd run, but the streets are packed and we're in a rush here!"<br/><br/>00000000000000000<br/><br/>[Winter and Telluria]<br/><br/>Telluria raises an eyebrow at Winter's casual dismissal of school. She was fairly certain that attendance was mandatory in human education systems, at least for children Winter's age. Her own enrollment and housing in the Apollo Academy ate up most of her provided funds, so there had to be some standards. Still... humanity was not Elvendom. She still had much to learn.<br/><br/>"I am afraid I have had some difficulty in asking. Thank you for escorting me back to campus." The tall elf pauses and turns to look at the young girl floating beside her, regarding her carefully before speaking.<br/><br/>"Many seem humans find me intimidating, and I did not want to mis-represent my people by imposing upon them inappropriately." Telluria admits at last, and lets a small smile cross her face. "While our meeting was unexpected, I found it heartening that you did not let such preconceptions color your courage and actions. Whatever your feelings may be, you have done me a kindness, Winter. For that you have my gratitude."<br/><br/>In that moment, Winter would realize that Telluria means every word she says. Because despite her flowery language, her eyes have weight behind them, sharp and solid conviction, not childish naivete. Telluria has already guessed at Winter's less than kind thoughts about her... but she thanks Winter anyway, without hesitation or reluctance. Even with the elf's own preconceptions, she's treating Winter with honest respect, completely unasked, even if that respect is scorned.<br/><br/>"Perhaps our paths will cross again some day." Telluria offers a large but slender hand toward Winter, her green eyes keen, and just a bit hopeful. Perhaps that respect would not be scorned at all, if freely extended.<br/><br/>0000000000000000000000000<br/><br/>[Jules and Nicholia]<br/><br/>Nicholia's panic only rose as she felt and heard her inadvertant prisoner yelling for help inside her.<br/><br/>"Shhhh! Shhhh!" she hisses, awkwardly rubbing the slightly moving bulge in an insane attempt to calm the young man down. She doesn't even know why she's doing so. her eyes dart around the empty park, quickly landing on the scattered clothes.<br/><br/>"I've got to get out of here... can't let anyone see this!"<br/><br/>She forces herself to her blue feet and begins picking up Jules clothes and cell phone, bundling them up under one arm before she starts walking quickly out of the park, constantly looking over her shoulder.
