"Again, I'm seized with jealousy," she smirked taking in his very open and relaxed posture. Even if his outward changes had not been so noticeable, his body language alone spoke volumes about his new conclusions to his self evaluation. Smiling slightly, she pushed herself up to her feet and went to the kitchen to grab two bottles of water.
"I got to get away for a little while not too long ago. I went to visit Jess down in Osaka. She was in a pretty bad car accident and won't be returning to Aquila. It's going to take her at least a year to be able to recouperate completely from it. Her drawing arm was broken and one of her knees was messed up pretty badly. But she's totally fine otherwise. The same ole snarky sensei," she smirked as she plopped back down on the sofa next to him and reached out to hand him one of the bottles. She snapped the bottle cap off and reached up to take a sip, her sleeve slipping a little ways down her arm at the action. Realizing it, she dropped her hands back down into her lap and gave him a smile.
"I got to meet her boyfriend too. He seemed really nice. A bit quiet, but he suits her well," she smiled, realizing she was probably boring him to death. She couldn't help it though. It had been ages since had held a for real conversation with someone it seemed. Well... at least since she had gotten back from Osaka.

Ra listened to her speak about visiting Jess and watched as yet again she covered her arms.
"I heard about all that, I'm glad she's o.k and found someone to calm her down a bit." He gave a small snort of laughter. Of course he had heard the basics from Kayne before he graduated.
"What happened to your arm?" Ra asked nodding towards her long sleeves. He knew the signs that she was hiding something, having done it himself so often.

Obie watched him for a moment, then gave him a half hearted smirk as she tucked her bottle of water between legs and lifted her arms. She pushed her sleeves up to her elbows and held them up so he could see the ugly scars. She had been extra careful to keep them hidden from Isabel. That was seriously a plate she didn't need filled, but there was no point in hiding from Ra. He knew more about her than he probably wanted to.
"Seems that you are not the only lucky canidate to get a taste of Izumi's insanity," she said, flushing slightly and dropping her arms back down to her lap. She shook her sleeves back down in case Isa decided to return.

Ra looked at her scars and felt a wave of anger wash over him, he suppressed it quickly. Who the hell did Izumi think he was, harming girls now as well as guys. It just wan't right.
"They're good." He said with a smirk. "I have better though. If you ever need to feel better about them come and ask me nicely and I might just show you." He gave her a grin and opened the bottle of water so that he could take a sip. "Seriously though, I don't think they look as bad as you might think. They'll fade."

"Better?" she asked without thinking as she twisted her bottle cap off again. Her eyes swept over his bare arms, truly noticing the silvery scars that graced them for the first time. If that was what he meant, then she really didn't have much to worry about. They weren't that noticeable and hers were much smaller. She just wished they weren't in such a conspicuous place. She always got the impression that she had just botched a suicide attmept whenever she looked at them. Which, in effect, wasn't far from the truth when Izumi was involved.
"I know. They're still a little ugly though and right now I really can't afford to have Isa see them. That would not go over well," she shrugged slightly and took a sip of water.

Ra nodded,
"Yup, they're nothing. I have some gorgeous ones on my chest. Couple on my back, legs. You are still in the minor leagues for the grotesque stakes." He took another sip of water and smiled warmly.
"I hope they're not too painful though? I have some stuff to help with the scarring if you want it?"

"You could hardly qualify for grotesque," she smirked and arched a brow. She looked away for a second, then smiled and gave her head a small shake.
"They don't hurt much anymore. Only sometimes when I do something I really probably shouldn't yet, like archery or something. But if you have something for the scarring, I would really appreciate it," she said with an incredibly grateful look on her face.

"Heh, wanna bet." He said with a playful grin as he pulled the bottom of his t-shirt up a little to reveal the start of the large discoloured patch on his tanned abdomen. "see it's gross." He replaced his shirt and took the bottle of water in his hands again.
"You know what, I thought it might feel good to be back at Aquilla, but everyone has dissapeared."

Obie arched her brow again at his playful display. Um... what had they been talking about again? That's right... scars, she remembered as she suddenly registered that his chiseled abdomen had much larger silvery scars etched across it. Okay. She had definitely been spending too much time with her sister. She was starting to act girlie. Giving her head a shake, she gave him a smile.
"Not gross," she said simply as she took another sip of water.
"I know what you mean, though I was thankful for the reprieve. I was looking forward to some solitude, then her royal highness was dumped on me. I'm glad you're back though. I hope you don't mind, you've just been appointed to be the person that keeps me sane and from killing her while she's here," she smirked.

"Aww no killing?" He laughed as he took another sip of water. "And I was looking forward to that part."
Smiling he held her eyes and felt a twinge of something as helooked into the crystal blue.
He took a breath and looked away.
"Well, you know where I am if you want to hide out. Whether is be a chat or a place to read in a comfortable silence."

Obie joined in his laughter. Sulky Ra had been alright to hang out with. This carefree version was actually very enjoyable.
"You shouldn't make offers like that so freely," she teased. "You might regret it later. I might abuse the privelege." Even more so since Isa wouldn't tell her when exactly she would be leaving. She really did not understand their way of thinking sometimes.

"Not to sound like a room whore but abuse away." He said with a shrug. "It 's not like you'll be disturbing my oh so exciting social life." He fell into one of his more usual silences for a few moments ad stared out across the living room.
"Seriously Obie, It's almost a desperate plea for company on my part. Othewise I'm going to start talking to Scarlett's plants."

Obie tilted her head to the side as she studied him for a moment when his mood shifted slightly.
"And what's wrong with talking to plants? I talk to my bonsais all the time, considering they've been my only roommate this entire time except for that short lived moment I would rather not dredge up right now," she smirked and took a sip of her water. "You know... the offer stands for you as well."

"Mmm, yeah. I'd love to come an subject myself to another round with your sister." He said giving her another grin. "Not exactly my idea of fun."
He looked down at his denim shorts and swigged some more water.
"I'm thinking of breaking it off with Chii." He said as an almost random outburst. It was something he had been thinking about a lot and their chat today had made it all seem so close.

"Hey... she won't be here all the time," she smiled. "But I definitely get your point."
She shifted slightly and allowed herself to sink more comfortably into the sofa cushions as another silence fell over them. She noticed suddenly how their silences always felt more companionable rather than awkward. It was kind of a nice revelation to have.
When he suddenly spoke, she turned her midnight eyes up to his and weighed his words for a moment. "Why?" she asked simply.
