It was when Skylar fully unfurled her wings that Howl's instinctive wish to feel them took over. Where he was able to stop himself short earlier, he was no longer able to reign in that much control. Letting his fingers trace the outline of the feathers only for a few brief moments before pulling away startled. "Sorry, that was rude." He corrected himself, feeling invasive. The appeal behind actually being able to make physical contact with things he was curious about without immediate repercussion proved to be too influencing upon his actions. He would need to keep himself in check before he ended up going around the entire school with the urge to greet every student in some physical manner.
As she listed off all her ideas in order to help him, Howl seemed to be paying close attention, nodding intensely to a few suggestions. A number of them had already been crossed off his list, however some of her thoughts seemed valid enough, they could be worth a try. "I'll try some of these when my semblance returns, they might beat a pair of rubber boots and gloves." He gave a small laugh, his way of dealing with the semblance was a little more old fashion and not as outside of the box as some of Skylar's were. However perhaps the ones she gave him would prove more practical or a better option. It would be worth looking into once things were back as they should be.
"Is your Nana the one who inspired you to be a huntress?"
Howl couldn't deny his curiosity. It was always interesting to him, the various reasoning behind why the hunters and huntresses in training were doing all of this. Some of the stories behind things like this were amazing tales. Howl couldn't relate as he had lived a relatively normal life up until his semblance had arrived. Since that moment he figured there was no better route for him to take than a hunter. It let him surround himself with like-minded individuals, and he was learning how to dispatch the Grimm as well.

Pa, Ma, Nana, and I were the only Avian Faunus in our community. I'm used ta people wanting ta feel 'em. An' it weren't like you were touchin my chest or butt or nothin.”She smiled as he considered her suggestions before he spoke about her Nana. "Sorta.

Despite being given permission by Skylar herself to inspect the wings on a more intimate scale Howl wasn't able to reach out again. There was a lack of comfort and confidence in his mannerisms, even after everything had been said. Instead he focused on the female student and her continued story telling. It felt as if he was learning so much about her life back home, it was refreshing to him. The easiest way to feel like you know someone is to understand their roots and where they came from. It made Howl happy to hear everything about her family back home. "A family of strong minded individuals, hm?" Howl commented with a small smile. By the sound of it Skylar's entire ancestry were all very much the leader type. He had little doubt that she would end up anything but strong minded and tough herself. It seemed to run in her blood, she almost felt born for hunting and heroic acts. He envied that slightly, being born from parents who were so lacking.
"I lost my family the day my semblance manifested."
He explained, seeming rather surprised by his own openness. It was hard to keep things quiet and brooding like normal when he was engaged with such a bubbly personality. She was rubbing off on him slightly and Howl wasn't sure how to feel about it. "I've been on my own since then." He finished rather vaguely. It seemed his semblance had been a burden upon him for a long time and it was little surprise why he was so content with it being taken away from him. He couldn't blame it all upon his powers though. Howl himself had made a point to avoid getting closer with others, he found life less disappointing when the only one he could rely on was himself. The rest of the world continued to let him down and it had drained much of his belief and patience with humanity.

— I'm Sky. Sky Hiraga. Sky would say to the two, even though Remilyn was still holding onto Sky's hand. Even though it seemed awkward, he really didn't do much against it, as no harm was being done. As far as meeting the other two his age, Sky wondered what it was that they were talking about, as he didn't really feel the full effects of his semblance disappearing. But then again, he did feel something was off a while ago, seeing as he hadn't felt the usual glow of his runes that would happen. Guess that might mean that his aura was a little low. Which in itself would be weird too, since he needs it all to even function. So you two switched semblances, huh? I guess would have to know if mine switched with someone here or whoever I been in contact with, but my semblance would literally drain me! Sky would say to them. Thinking about it entirely, something or someone must have done this. It's rare for semblances to just outright swap with anyone elses. Okay! Instead of joining the clutter of the infirmary, how about we just investigate this whole thing? Sky asked Ko and Vance. Like for instance, has there been anyone or anything who has been in contact with you lately? Something that could cause the guys here to just outright lose their semblance in the first place? Sky asked the three. —
☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁ Skylar listened as he answered her. So, he was really on his own then. Well, he gave off that feeling. One of normally secluded in his own world, intentionally apart from those around him.”Well, I ain't gonna say I know what that's like, or that it were easy to overcome neither. Only person I lost were my Pa. and it were to to a work accident. Went an got hurt pretty bad an some sorta infection set in. We ain't got a lot o' people out there, an a doctor ain't one. We went an' sent for one, but, by the time they found one willin ta leave the city, the fever took him. I can't understand what it's like ta be in your shoes. I understand that. But, I know it ain't gonna get easier if ya dwell on the past an don't try an move forward. Ya take what ya got stuck with, an ya learn from it, improve from it. An' like I went an' said. Family ain't just about blood nor genes. Ya can have a Pa, but, if he beat ya for no reason, he ain't bein family, but your friend who went and called the police when they noticed, they are bein proper family to ya. Family are those who care, who try ta understand an' help. An' who ya let do so. But, you have ta let them be family. Might be hard ta trust, might be hard ta put yourself out there riskin bein rejected. My situation ain't the same, but, I understand the fear. I like boys an' all, but, honestly, I like girls a little more than boys. Took me a bit ta get comfortable sayin that, an' I was scared o' bein judged. But, Just like me acceptin who I am, you havta keep tryin. It's the only way ta make it easier and move on. Ya know what your semblance does now, so, it shouldn' cause too much issue with ya gettin close to others, scpecially here.” ☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█Team:XXXX█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁

Her openness only continued to refresh him as she spoke. He couldn't deny the truth in her words either, he was doing it to himself. It was more comfortable being on his own and not risking rejection. People were frightening, difficult to read, not many were as compassionate as Skylar had been thus far. Perhaps it was something he could work on in the future, putting himself out there. With the right group he might be able to open up more himself and enjoy himself here. "I've always had trouble with risk. I suppose you're right though- I can't hide forever." Howl agreed with her sentiments thus far. She seemed incredibly good with people. The way that she was helping him come to terms with his own ability and the frustrations that encompass it. This was by no means a quick fix or immediately relieved him of all the struggles he had gone through, and would continue to go through in the future. However it was a start and he appreciated the sincerity she was displaying toward him. It made him wish he could help her even more, although her semblance issue seemed more of a minor setback or inconvenience to Skylar, not something she couldn't live with. She had a much stronger frame of mind than he did, seemingly unable to be brought down.
"The people you care for is your choice alone."
Howl agreed, understanding with the idea of Skylar enjoying the company of females over their male counterpart. Personally he had no preference, or at least no real desire for close relations with anyone. Perhaps deep down he wished for such a connection although he didn't see any point in pursuing one. You could only get so far in a relationship that lacked physicality. Something that Howl was unable to provide regularly, once his semblance returned this would be the case yet again. "I suppose I'll be forced into closeness with others soon, once I've been assigned to a team." Howl thought to himself openly. The academy still hadn't been able to place him, he was curious to see what kind of group he would be working with in the future. Even if he preferred to work alone he knew that it would be more beneficial to stick to groups, he would learn more that way. Learning to better work together as a team was also a good skill to carry, once they all became licensed hunters and huntresses the ability to work in groups and on your own would become incredibly useful.
☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁ Skylar looked at him as he considered and commented on her words.”Most folks got trouble with risk ya know. It's jus a question bout how far they're willing ta go. I'll probably have trouble with fightin' ta start with. I never went and got myself inta a fight before. But, ain't no point in jus dwellin on reservations. You gotta move on and try your hardest.”As he reasserted that only you could decide who was important to you and voiced that he might have the opportunity to work on his isolationism after being put on a team.
Skylar smiled as the flames finally sputtered out. She had no doubts they'd come back, but, she remembered her hands began to itch before ignighting, so, she had some warning. She flared her wings and began plucking the burned feathers from her wings. She placed her thumb at the base of the feather to press down on the skin as it helped with the discomfort of plucking the damaged feathers."It'll make it easier yeah, but, only if ya let yourself trust em and care. You'll be on a team. That means ya gotta work together. Trust each other. If one fails in that, the rest do too. I just hope I ain't put on a team o' all boys cept for me. Sharing a bathroom with a bunch o' boys and pullin out my underwear when one o' them around, don't sound so appealin..." ☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█Team:XXXX█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁

κόκκινο Βασιλιάς
Company: Vance Remi, Sky Location: Gym
Remi seemed to hold onto the hand of the male that helped her up. Along with this he noticed that Vance was fidgeting with his camera has he took charge in the conversations and introductions. It’s not like he tries to be dominating, but rather he just has no filter and often just speaks his mind whenever. She doesn’t know what an infirmary is? Maybe she isnt from within Vale. I mean she doesn’t really look like she is. Ko thought to himself as he faced Remi. “An infirmary is where you take sick people or injured people.” Ko said as matter of factually before turning his attention to attempts at coming up with a plan of attack. “The problem with walking around and asking is where do we start. Are we positive this isnt isolated?” He took a moment putting a finger on his lips. “However going to the infirmary could cause a pile up, but it might be the best place to look.” He said as he looked around and scanned their reactions.
With Sky’s question about the bumping into someone which may have caused the switch Ko looked at him with thoughtful eyes. “That could be a possibility, but to my knowledge Vance and Remi never knew each other outside of what has transpired.” Ko said as he turned to look at Vance and get his input. I dont ever remember bumping into someone who had lights for a semblance. Ko thought to himself as he allowed himself a moment in time to not be taking charge of the conversation. “Whatever choice we make we should act on it. Too many cooks in the kitchen gets a bit irritating*” Ko said as the lights started to appear around the top of his head much like a halo. This made Ko beam with pride and then get a devilish look on his face. Level: 0 Posts: 5
Vance remained silent as he tried to put the new pieces together about what was going on. While he did that but before he took the picture of the newcomer, the young lady approached him once more worried about him. The boy was find but before he could respond, Remi had caught the glance of him checking on his camera and asked about it as well. This butterfly was a very caring person and her innocence made him question if she should be here, as maybe it would be for the best to guard her, and protect that innocent look in her eyes. Vance would smile to here as he spoke after she asked what was the thing he had in his hands."It is called a camera, and don't worry, it isn't broken and I'm okay." He would say in a soft tone as if talking to a child, mostly because he saw Remi as a person who was just getting to know the world. Such a image would make such great imagery, and took a few mental notes about what the art could look like. The boy would then show the camera did work when he took a picture of the newcomer, who was introduced as Sky Hiraga.
Sky seemed like a nice person, and he hoped that he wasn't the next person to slam into him. He would move his attention to the other two as they began to talk about the how this swap worked. Sky had a good idea about it might be a contact thing, but like Ko said, Vance had only met Remi today, and had no contact with her before this. More importantly, it hadn't been a direct swap as the girl didn't have his ink creation powers. The boy was taken out of his thoughts when he heard Remi again asking about what an infirmary is. In a way he did feel bad for the girl as the girl had a lot to learn but that could be said about many people here, including himself. As Ko started to explained what an infirmary was, Vance went back to thinking about the situation they were in. The problem was when Ko mentioned about that there were too many cooks in the kitchen, his body stated were it wanted to go as the others would here a sudden growl coming from the white haired youth.
The boy would cough as he tried to try and quickly move pass what had happened and tried to calm his blush. "Well then, I suppose we could go with my original plan and see if there are other students in the cafeteria. I'm sure there will be plenty of people to ask about this when we get there." He said as he began to make his way from the group in the direction of the cafeteria. Though this wasn't meant for him to lead the group, but that he was hungry and was embarrassed that his stomach growled in the middle of them. So, Vance wanted to silent his stomach while also finding out what the others students were going to. However like before, each step he took caused the grass around him to overgrow and caused different plants to grow. Remi would recognize what was going on as it was her semblance trying to tug her to follow the vessel it was in. The boy could only hope that they would find someone that could help them or he would have to open a nursery for the new plants.
““Don’t say you don’t care. That’s the one thing you should never say. You will surely regret those words"
Location: Beacon Academy Gym > Mood: Calm, Inspired, Excited, Embarrassed Thinking: Why did it happen then? With: Ko, Remi, Sky.

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A wave of relief would wash over Remi as Vance affirmed that both he and his camera were just fine and dandy. Energetic, bubbly, and perhaps a bit of a ditz with all of this strange new technology, but right down to her very core Remi was sweet and caring. Exceedingly so. They butterfly had always cared to much, too strongly. Paired with her tendency to trust much too easily, she'd found herself in precarious situations for it time and time again. Often times it ended with her getting hurt, because to her that was preferable to herself being the cause for another's pain. Each precarious situation gone wrong had left its mark on her body. Little scars, most faded to not but pale white lines with the time that had passed. However, the most prominent of which were the three long slashes across her back, a match those carved along her right thigh, as well as her left forearm, all of which clearly visible with the minimalism of her outfit. Clearly not from any sort of human adversary and obviously fairly recent in their freshness. Rather than white and faded. The raised lines were still red and tender, just barely healed over. One might wonder how such a sweet girl had gotten such horrible looking injuries. Others might wonder how it was she was still so carefree and overly happy. Remilyn was a truly interesting specimen in that case. No matter how many times she got beat down, no matter how many times she was injured to due to her own nature, no matter how many times her trusting proved to be dangerous, the butterfly never changed her outlook on life or on the people inhabiting this beautiful world. Even now, with the pain and regrets lurking in her heart from her last dangerous encounter, she couldn't seem to be any happier than she was. After all, she finally passed her trial and not only that, but was allowed to come to Beacon with her sister as well. Gentle, sweet, and happy. It matched both her semblance as well as her seemingly harmless weapon. In truths her abilities were not fatal, but they had proven to be useful to her tribe, and perhaps one day they would be helpful to her team.
Straightening back up, Remi would smile sweetly at Vance, before watching him take a picture of Sky, that same look of curiosity lighting up her face. She would watch with an almost childlike wonder, almost bouncing with an excited giddiness when the shutter went off. Her attention however would quickly be drawn by Ko however, as he explained what an infirmary was. Her head would slowly Bob up and down, pale locks swaying bust her hips and bushing against the ground with her movements. "ooOOHHhhh." One could practically see the gears turning in her head as she connected the dots in her mind, compare this so called infirmary with the medical tents back home and making a mental not of it for later. It could still be assumed she would ask questions again at some point, after all, she was in a completely new world. For now though, she seemed content. "Too many cooks in the kitchen..." She would mumble softly to herself, tilting her head to the side as if she were trying to figure out exactly what he meant by the odd metaphor. After a moment though, she would shrug it off and listen to the input of both Sky and Vance as they spoke about the strange condition of their sembalnces. Surely she would come to miss her flowers at some point of things weren't set back to normal at some point, but she didn't seem to be nearly as concerned with it as she should be. However, that was proving to be a trend with the girl, nothing could damper her spirits for too long. It seemed to be nearly as difficult to keep her focused on one thing at a time. Proved only further by the wide eyed look that dawned her expression as the bright lights began to flare above Ko's head once more. With the sudden flutter of vibrant wings, Remi would diminish the significant height difference between herself and the red head, already forgetting the lecture he had given her on personal space to get just as close as she could to the halo like glow above his head. "Ooo... how did you do that?" She would murmur, examining the light, reflecting softly in her sea-foam orbs, likely left Ko in a bit of an awkward situation, bit that she seemed to notice.
Luckily for Ko, the awkwardness wouldn't last long as her attention was once again drawn else where, this time by the low growl coming from the belly of the white haired boy. "I think your tummy is trying to talk to you." Dropping to her feet, she would let out a soft giggle. Once again it wasn't something she did to be rude, rather she was just enthralled by the situation. Much like she had with Ko, delicate fingers would reach out, poking one of his reddened cheeks softly before brushing off his jaw and falling back to her side. "You're cheeks are so warm!" Clearly oblivious to the fact he was embarrassed and she was likely making it worse, she would watch him with that same awed look in her eyes, a wide grin tugging on her lips. As he turned to make his way towards to cafeteria, the smile on her lips would only grow as she noticed the patches of flowers and plants trailing behind him. "I haven't had breakfast yet either! You two are coming too, yes?" It was a question, but she wasn't exactly giving them a choice. Another soft laugh would escape her lips before she suddenly reached out, attempting to grasp Ko by the hand, her other arm would do the same to Sky. Unless they objected in some way, she would try pull them along with her. Remi wasn't the strongest of individuals, her strength lay elsewhere, so if they refused to follow there was really no way for her to make them. Whether they followed suit or stayed in place, after a few moments her fingers would slip from there's. Unable to help herself, she would begin leaping from the coaches of flowers and plants like it was some twisted version of hopscotch. Using her wings to carry her the longer distances, she displayed much more grace than she had in their previous affairs. "Wait up, Vance! Not so fast!" She would call out to him, clearly detirmined to not let her feet touch anything but the patches of leaves and grass the entire way. Even so, despite her seemingly carelessness, she never squished or stepped on a single flower.

"I'm scared to fight, I've been told it will pass- but the Grimm terrify me." Howl admitted quietly to himself. It wasn't something he liked to share, however Skylar had been nothing but open with him thus far and he wished to return the sentiment himself in he could. Howl hadn't fought before either, neither another human being nor one of the Grimm and he worried his inexperience would show. Although that was why they were here at beacon, in order to better themselves and develop their skill sets into the arsenal of hunters and huntresses one day.
Howl watched with intrigue as Skylar fanned her wings and began to pick away at the charred remains of some dirtied feathers. She seemed slightly uncomfortable doing so, it likely hurt her somewhat. "I hope to rely on them once my trust has been earned." He replied sharply, not being a very big believer in blind trust. Luckily an explanation wasn't necessary as the scraggly blond male was approached from behind by one of the faculty. A tap upon his shoulder caused him to turn and give his attention to the female aide. "Sorry." Howl remarked in a rather small voice as he cocked his head toward the student he had been conversing with and gave her a tiny nod as farewell. It seemed his presence was required elsewhere.

Before she could reply though, a faculty member came to collet him and he hurried off.”Oh. Well...it was nice ta meet ya.”But, he was already gone. For a moment, she sat there, looking after him, but, the possibility of her hands catching fire again got her to refocus on plucking the damaged feathers free. After a few minutes, she managed to get rid of the damaged ones and stood up, folding her wings as she made for the halls. While her hands were behaving, she figured she might as well get something to eat. -EXIT- ☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█Team:XXXX█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁

__They rate me at (24) Level 0. ______My aura is.. inactive, and my semblance is.. down. ______I fight with teamDECO. ________My status is.. calm ___I am at.. the Gym_______Currently I'm in the company of.. waiting for Reikka
___ Nox trotted along the path to the gym. The tail and hem of her long coat was fluttering along behind her even though she wasn't in that much of a hurry. Just enough to make sure she was on time. Though as she came to a stop outside the door it didn't look like there was anyone else here. "Guess I got here first." She commented softly to the emptiness. Since it appeared she was the first one at the meeting place she moved over to the wall. She would take up a place leaning against it just to the side of the door where the door wouldn't be able to hit her if it was thrown open. Now she just had to wait for this Reikka person to arrive. Nox hadn't asked any of her companions if they knew the girl. Nox wasn't sure but she might of seen her around. Who knew about Yenna, that girl seems like the type that could get around quite a bit. That could be an over estimation of how outgoing her personality is. One thing is for sure though, Cali wouldn't know. Besides she was more concerned with Eli right now. So Nox would just wait here at the meeting point.
___ As she waited her mind wandered. First came thoughts of the extra credit. The teachers were really leaving this wide open weren't they? It felt a little like free study time in a class than an extra credit assignment. Nox closed her eyes as she reviewed what could be done. Normally in situations like this she would go out to her secret place to meditate and practice using her semblance or something. Perhaps she could take this other girl out there. Then again that place was more tailored to be useful for her. She had invested a lot of time hunting for it. Not that it couldn't work for other's to use. It was certainly big enough that she could take her whole team out there to relax or practice. Either way it would depend on what the girl that was assigned to be her partner had to offer. Nox had decided that it was a girl based on the name Reikka. She'd be shocked if it turned out to be a guy. Now that her line of thought had wandered there she started trying to imagine whole this person was. Not that just a name provided much guidance to imagining the person themselves. Reikka might have more luck in that than Nox. Nox after all was a name that meant black or void. Physically speaking Nox was fitting what with her hair color and wardrobe.

Rҽιƙƙα Cҽɾυʅҽαɳ : Team CHAE
Reikka woke up this morning later than the usual, and realized that she was late to do this extra credit assignment mentioned by the teachers last time they were in class. Then they received a scroll text to be reminded of what she should do the night before. She struggled to get up, tempted by the warmth and safety of her own bed when she should be on her way to meet this 'Nox De Luca' person. She was told she was waiting at the gym entrance for her. After much negative muttering and grumpy complaining on her part, she was finally bathed, dressed and ready to go. It was going to be exceptionally chilly today, and she would need her winter clothing. She felt almost pure disdain for this weather, but living in Vale her whole life, this was far from being unusual. She just never had been called to do something in the wee hours of the morning to train with a total stranger. She had been thinking about her team the most, hoping the whole fiasco with the semblance swap mishap had already settled into the dust, and that everyone had their semblances back to the way it was. Asger had been knocked unconscious into a coma and was resting at the infirmary. Maru was back to normal, shifting his form involuntarily like always, and Auburn was back to her old self, fighting to live in the moment. She gave all this some thinking as she exited the dorm rooms and into the wide-open campus streets. She wore a white double-layered coat that was water resistant and kept the heat in, a white scarf and some leggings beneath her pants. She also wore knee-length dark, brownish boots along with high-socks that kept her warm.
When she got closer to the gym, she could see a lone figure in the distance and knew it must've been her partner for the day. As she made the long trek she began to wonder just exactly what kind of person this Nox was. Was she nice? Was she hardened and trained in combat like Auburn, virtually defensive like Maru, or more into tactics like Asger? Whichever the case, she hoped she wouldn't be so incredibly different from her and that they would at least agree with certain things. If they couldn't she didn't know what she would do. She also began to think about the kind of semblance this person had. She had seen so many different kinds of semblances during her stay here, anything was possible. Especially when it came to the uniqueness and variety of these semblances. How would her semblance function? How did they develop in their early years? If there was one thing she learned about people such as her teammates, is that you can never expect what a person is capable of, much less weigh someone's potential based on your own hapless opinion. She didn't want to judge, and she didn't want to argue. She just wanted to get this over with and be back with her team in their warm dorm room. Then again, she didn't want to rush this person nor tip them off the wrong way, seeing as they'll need to work together to get things done. So she shoved the notion of getting things done as quickly as possible and thought that' she'd probably get to know this person a bit.
When she finally got to the gym, the light drizzle of snow died down, and she was finally clear to look at this person she had been so keen to find out about. She was a girl who wore a large black coat and ballerina shoes. She had long, black hair and there was something about her that made her seem rather scary or unsettling to Reikka. Right now she had been minding her own business and been preoccupied with waiting, that she had failed to notice Reikka at first. But then Reikka took a deep breath and walked forward, closer to the door, and tried to remain unamused so as not to seem imposing or like she's expecting too much. It really was best that she didn't expect anything from this encounter, even though she expected herself to behave accordingly, she thought. And others to return such civility. "Hello?" She waved a hand in her direction, "Are you Nox De Luca?" She asked plainly, trying to catch the girl's attention. She bundled her scarf tighter and watched as her breath came out in puffed steam when she spoke. The girl didn't seem very comfortable in this weather, even though she was dressed for it. She couldn't quite put her finger why she thought so imposingly of her. She felt her scroll device in her bag and cursed why she didn't read those faunus and semblance details as she should have. But she didn't seem so bad, and so she attempted a little smile before the girl could see her face.
__They rate me at (25) Level 0. ______My aura is.. inactive, and my semblance is.. down. ______I fight with teamDECO. ________My status is.. calm ___I am at.. the Gym_______Currently I'm in the company of.. Reikka
___ Hmmm? Were those footsteps? If they were it seemed whomever was approaching was certainly light footed. Might just be a leaf caught in a breeze. Then again leaves and gusts of wind don't talk. A voice had definitely called out from close by. Upon hearing an inquire about her name Nox lifted her head a little and opened her eyes as she pushed off from the wall to face the individual approaching her. Her eyes were a vivid red. Not the color of rubies thought, the color was darker and heavier looking like a garnet. More over for a split second as her vision settled on Reikka those eyes had horizontal pupils. Soon enough they widened to look like the normal round black cores of a that all humans and most faunus have. Nox's immediate impression was that this girl was that she was far from the image her imagination had constructed based on the name. Except the eyes. She had eyes that matched the shade her last name implied. The rest of her was not blue though, but predominately white. She was bundled up for the weather and her outfit looked stylish. A faint gentle wind stirred up as she examined her for that second. With it her black hair stirred though it mostly stayed put, unlike the red ribbons decorating it which were much lighter. Nox also had a muffler on which was hidden by its color which matched her hair and would of been hard to notice from the side.
___"Indeed I am." She responded as she stepped in closer to shake hands. "I'm the leader of Team DECO. If you're here looking for me then I presume you are the leader of Team CHAE, Reikka Cerulean." Nox's voice had a very even temperament, sounding neither like someone who is soft spoken nor someone who is prone to boisterousness. It carried a mature business like vibe for the time being as well. Nox looked around for a moment, feeling grateful that the wind was relatively calm today as she noticed all the steam floating about her head from the warm air she was exhaling as she spoke. It all reminded her of the cold and made a shiver go up her spine. Again a bit of gratitude welled up for the lack of wind as it made keeping her coat in place easy. She fixed her gaze onto Reikka once more. "So then, for this extra credit, what kind of ideas do you have in mind for us to do? The message from the teachers left it pretty open ended, but from the feel of it I don't get the impression they were expecting too much. While I can't say for sure since I can't read minds through a scroll I get the feeling this is mostly a team building exercise kind of thing. But less orientated towards internal team cooperation than inter-team cooperation." She inquired towards a suggestion for what they could do now while giving a opinion on the matter of reasoning the two of them are out her freezing.
