✥ Grace trekked all the back to the Academy from the meadow in city. She was originally planning to go to her dorm, since it was getting rather late, but she kind of made a detour to the Academy's garden. She didn't have time to explore the entire campus yet, and so she was curious about the garden. It looked rather enchanting. She walked around the garden, admiring the beautiful flowers and plants that people took the time to plant and water and take care of. After a while, she went under a nearby gazebo and sat on the cold, stone bench. She sat silently, just taking in the calm atmosphere. Yet, at the same time, she felt a little sad and lonely, wishing her parents were there with her.

Jace wandered into the garden, taking in the sight as he entered. It was beautiful. So many different colors, flowers, and smells surrounded him, he just felt an overwhelming sensation of calmness. Izan cleared his throat to get Jaces attention, snapping him back to the real world. Jace began to walk through the garden, inspecting many of the flowers as he went. He could see a gazebo not to far away from him and, noticing it was occupied, he began to make his way there.

✥ Grace remained silent, letting the gentle breeze lift her silvery hair up, and simply soaking in the quietness and tranquility. Her face was towards the setting sky, gazing at the beautiful display of colors. She closed her eyes and breathed in the calm air. She felt so.... At home. And so nostalgic. However, Grace still felt a sort of serene nostalgia, something she couldn't quite describe. It wasn't a bad feeling. Her gaze was directed at the sky and her focus wasn't on anything else. She didn't even notice that there was company, someone other than her was at the garden.

Jace saw that it was Grace, and was about to greet her. He stopped himself, noticing how calm she looked. He stopped walking, standing about 10 feet from the base of the gazibo. She looked so beautiful in the light of the setting sun, Jace couldn't stop looking at her. Izan looked at Jace, then at Grace, his eyes giving an expression of wickedness. "You find something you like?" Jace sputtered, jumping a bit when Izan spoke. "What the hell!? What are you trying to say!?" He was somewhat flustered, and blushing. Izan couldn't help but laugh at Jace, and he tried to save face.

✥ Grace jumped in surprise upon hearing a sudden voice in the garden. Her attention was torn away from the setting sun towards the source of the voice. Her burgundy eyes wide as she looked around the garden fo the owner of the voices. When she laid her eyes on Jace and Izan, she relaxed a little. "Oh... Hi there... Jace, Izan...." She greeted them with a small smile. "Fancy meeting you here..." She thought about what a strange coincidence it was; the two had only met an hour ago and here they are, meeting again.

Jace turned to Grace, quickly regaining his composure. He returned the smile, nodding as he did. "I was just wandering around for now. I didn't mean to interrupt you. He walked into the gazibo, sitting across from her. She still looked beautiful, especially now with her eyes open. "You looked like you were thinking about something. If you don't mind me asking, what was it you were thinking of?" Izan followed close behind him. If Izan had a mouth, he would be smirking as Jace tried to act cool.

✥ Grace's burgundy eyes followed Jace and Izan as they made their way to the gazebo and settled down. She was a bit surprised at his question, and wasn't sure of how to answer. "Um.... I was just thinking of home... And the Academy..." She replied with a soft tone as she looked down at her hands.

Jace nodded in reply. "The Academy is a good place for people like us. They can nurture our skills and make sure that we can use them properly. And thinking of home..." Jace thought of his family for a moment. "Feeling home sick is only natural in this situation." He folded his arms, thinking to himself. Izan drifted around, watching as things progressed.

✥ Grace smiled softly, turning her face towards the sky once more. "Yeah..." She replied, her gaze directed a the sky. But even so, there was no "home" for her to return to. Her home was destroyed, which was the whole reason she's at the Academy now. Grace averted her attention back to Jace and smiled. "So... Uh..." She muttered after realizing she had been silent for a while. She tried her best to think of a good conversation starter. "Err... How are you?" She asked, her hands fidgeting.

Jace smiled kindly. "I'm doing just fine. Thank you for asking. How are you doing? He noticed how she fidgeted and he thought she seemed uncomfortable, so he tried to speak in a calmer voice.

✥ Grace nodded at Jace's answer. "I'm, um, fine too," She replied, then gave him a smile. She looked down at her hands as they continued to fidget, a habit she had whenever she was either thinking or nervous. She really didn't know what else to say, and how to continue the conversation. She let the silence between them settle; her gaze remained on her hands.

Jace sighed as the silence went on. "Not one for social interaction, huh? That's fine. I used to be like that." Jace looked at the sky, noticing that it was getting darker. "It would appear that it's getting late. Shall I walk you home?" Izan raised an eyebrow, but Jace Shot him a quick look before he could say anything.

✥ Grace pursed her lips together at Jace's comment, not sure of how to reply. It was true though. She was never really good at making friends or talking to others. Grace followed Jace's gaze towards the sky before returning her attention back to him. She shook her head. "It's fine. I live at the Academy's dormitories, anyways," She replied with a small smile. "You can go ahead though... I think I'll just hang out here a bit longer..." She continued to smile as she stared at the beautiful flowers before her.

Jace shrugged. "I would if I had any place to go to, so I might as well hang around here for awhile longer." Izan crossed his arms, glaring at Jace. "I did tell you that you should of registered for a dorm room when you applied to the academy, but no, you wanted to deal with it later. Lazy punk." Jace smiled sheepishly. "You don't have to put it like that. It's not like it'll be that hard to get a room. Even temporarily."
