Nox seemed like a fairly educated and courteous woman, and so she stepped a little closer, only to be mildly shocked to see her eyes the color of neon red and slit-pupiled. It made her hesitate for a second... but then shook her hand with a firm and friendly grip. She had never seen such a plain difference between humans and faunuses before. After shaking her hand she looked around, and it seemed that they were the only ones there, "Well, it's nice to know that I don't have to be re-assigned." She said, eyeing the taller woman before her, only slightly noticing her hand was a little colder than her's, "So tell me, Nox. What are your semblance powers and your faunus class?" Then she then looked sheepish, "I didn't bother to check the data." She scratched the back of her head, "I wanted to find out for myself, I guess." She said with a hint of embarrassment, "But it's nice to know that I get to train with another capable team leader." She sounded polite and concise. There weren't a lot of things she could say to her without sounding intrusive, but she was genuinely curious what her capabilities were and how she intended to spend these planned hours with her. "Where do you suggest we train?" She looked pointedly now, gazing disdainfully at the gym. There were too many guys and gals in there sweating like a bunch of hogs, and she wasn't too keen on training there.
This day was going to be interesting, to say the least. But, she was keen on getting started as soon as possible so they'd have free time later to just do whatever they wanted later on. She had never seen someone who didn' feel like most people's presence did. She could almost feel her large reserve of aura bubbling on the surface. It was almost menacing and assaulting to her senses, "Wanna walk?" She gestured away from the gym. "You have alot of aura." She began almost admiringly, "I almost always run out of aura whenever I activate my semblance." The snow began to fall again in earnest, noises from the gym rung out as she heard some guys playing basketball and some girls training in gymnastics. She wanted to be far away from the commotion, somewhere nice and quiet for them to focus on what they were supposed to do. She knew Auburn had been helping around the gym lately, but she supposed she doesn't need an unexpected visit from her. There weren't alot of places that they could train in. Except for the spot in the forest that Auburn trained in. But she never did come around to asking her where it was, exactly. She looked up as she walked. The snow kept gently failling like windless rain. The silence around them seemed to resound and rebound, and all she could hear was the soft 'crunch' of their feet on the solid, frozen ground. She looked over to Nox, who seemed to be fighting her instincts to not be out in the cold so bearingly, "You don't like the cold, huh?"

__They rate me at (26) 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
___ Reikka took her hand and shook it in response to the offered shake. Her hand was warm and the heat was most welcomed. Nox had noticed that she seemed to surprised about something though and that she had hesitated because of that. She wondered what she had done that took the other girl off guard. After they shook hands Reikka made a comment that drew a grin out from Nox. Afterwards she posed a question about Nox herself. She focused on the easier of the things to answer swiftly. She lifted her right hand and placed her index finger against her cheek. The motion would draw Reikka's attention to notice more than just her eyes. In this case it was that her cheeks were covered in scales. Though she probably wouldn't be able to see it Nox was actually pointing to something in particular hidden in the scaly area. "My faunus class is snake, pit viper to exact. It was a bit of shock for the little bunny girl on my team. She's got a bit of a fear of snakes, though she has warmed up to me fully now." Her eyes took on a slit like appearance for a moment as she made use of her pit organs to overlay infrared over her vision as she answered. This of course caused Reikka to turn into a glowing mass of heat in her vision until she discard the information.
___"As for my semblance. That is a bit more complex. My semblance is called dust diffusion. With it I can draw out the dust that naturally exists in the environment. Though you don't need to worry, it can't pull the dust from your body, or anything else alive either. But what freely fills space or comprises aura is fair game. After I got it I can re-purpose it just like if you used a dust round from your weapon for example." Nox explains her semblance in mostly simple terms and as briefly as possible while not really excluding anything. She seemingly ignored the signs of embarrassment that Reikka was exhibiting. She just smiled again when she said it was nice to know that this would be an endevour between team leaders. She added a soft vocal affirmative as well. She didn't make any immediate response as to where they could do their training. Instead just thinking about it until Reikka asked if they she walk while they considered it. Nox nodded once and started to walk in the direction Reikka had gesture in.
___ A few moments after Reikka joined her her eyes seemed to fixate on the snow flakes that were becoming more common. Her gaze as she watched it was complicated. An appreciation for beauty was there but at the same time a cold stare that seemed to be telling it to go away. She finally voiced her opinion on the training spot. "I have a place, but it is close to water. So it would probably be colder there than places more removed from water sources." She turned her head to look at Reikka as they walked when she started to talk about Nox's aura and her own semblance. "I'm surprised that you could see that. Most people don't seem to notice another's aura all that much... It could be a blessing I suppose to have so much, though I think it probably has something to do with my semblance. I have to push my aura out to create a zone of control so to speak with it to work with my semblance. I had to focus a lot of my training on controlling aura to make use of it. It was a bit of pain honestly." She chuckled softly at the end. Then looked into Reikka's eyes as she continued. "So what does your semblance do if it is such a drain on you?" She asked, taking advantage of the conversation reaching a point where she could bring it up as well.
___ The snow was picking up slowly. It was still unworthy to even be called a flurry. Just a specking really but if it kept this up it would be there soon enough. She shivered again and looked at her again with a nod. "I don't hide it very well."
Reikka listened to Nox's explanations that revolved around her faunus and semblance, peering idly at her cheek when Nox pointed out the little bumps, cracks and ridges on her face. It took her a few seconds to realize that what she was seeing were scales. Then she said that she was a pit viper, and suddenly everything made sense to Reikka, " I see. That's rather fascinating! I never thought I'd be afraid of snakes all that much." She said, nodding and agreeing at seeing her faunus features to indicate that she got it, "But a snake girl with aura powers is somethin' else." She said it in such a practical manner that it seemed downright impossible to tell if she was teasing or if she was just saying what she really felt. She wasn't sure herself what she meant by such an overtly honest commentary. Then she watched as Nox's eyes shifted again, looking at Reikka with a stoic, flat expression. She guessed that must've been her pit viper senses activating. Reikka didn't know if whether she considered it creepy or cool. They walked in silence for a bit before Nox answered her question regarding her semblance and what it did. Reikka also listened intently to this, nodding every once in a while so that she knew that she understood the key points and details, "That's a very interesting semblance." She remarked, looking at her with astonishment, "I have never heard of a semblance that relies on dust for it to work." She mulled over this for a few seconds, thinking just how they could put that to good use for this training session. "We just have to keep moving around to keep warm, tis' all." She said in a determined voice.
"Me?" Reikka sounded incredulous for a second as if being asked about her semblance was like being asked what her deepest, darkest secret was, "I, uhh... This may sound weird, but I make ectoplasm. It is generated by my Aura and I can extract it from my body to create certain things." She answered, seeming shy at first to talk about it, but gradually warmed up to speaking more openly, "So far it only comes out in a vapor that improves my performance on certain things." She glanced at Nox, wondering if she understood what she meant, "I can't make guns or anything like that." She said in a fast, defensive manner, not trying to cover up the fact that she couldn't make metal with her semblance or her disdain for guns, "But I can increase my potential by quite a bit for a certain length of time. And only one type of 'boost' at a time." She now seemed calm talking about her semblance. "Not a lot of people understand what I can do, and I haven't had the opportunity to use my semblance in months mainly cause of the swapping incident and because of its draining effects." She didn't seem scared to admit that she has a relatively small aura pool to draw energy from right now, simply because it would be useless to hide it. "I'm not exactly sure how it works. Most aspects of my semblance remain vastly a mystery to me, mainly cause I'm not sure what I can do and what its limits are." She paused for a moment, thinking about what else to say about her powers, "I can also randomly make a certain kind of ectoplasm that glows." She added, feeling rather tingly at that moment, signaling that she was probably making that type of ectoplasm even as they spoke.
"So what should we train for?" Now she seemed like she was back to her usual self, "I recommend that we could possibly practice our weaknesses." She perked up at the idea, "Tell me, what is it about your semblance that you find so hard to control or master?" She asked whilst walking briskly, trying to move enough so the cold wouldn't get to her. "If you mind me asking, that is." Reikka added, intending to be polite about it. Then she checked her bag to see if her Tonfa was still there, briefly lifting the covering flap to see the thing sticking out of her bag. She always brought her Tonfa for training. And she trusted that Nox wouldn't think too much on her strange ways. They may or may not have needed it, but Reikka wanted to be prepared just in case they were going to need a little accuracy training. And martial arts is her specialty, after all. It would be a shame if she couldn't show off her skills or have an opportunity to hone and sharpen it.

__They rate me at (27) 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
___ Nox tilted her head at Reikka's comment about it being something else. "Maybe. I don't really know anything about her since I've never had one of her classes, but isn't one of the teachers here also a snake faunus?" Nox wasn't sure if Reikka actually was aware of that or not. She only knew about it since other students would mention it because of them both being snake faunus. When it came to her semblance Reikka seemed to be able to follow the explanation. More over she was surprised it seemed. Nox smiled a little when the other girl commented about it being unique in her knowledge since it relied on dust. "Yeah. Though it might be more accurate to say it can manipulate or control dust. During that incident recently I ended up trading it with that bunny girl I mentioned before. She ended up with mine and I with hers. There was a point that she turned into a complete neat freaks trying to..." Nox paused in the middle of her story. Was it a good idea to actually talk about that. The truth on that matter was something she generally kept secret to avoid unwanted attention. Though in the context of the story it should be fine... "Well, when I asked her why she was suddenly sweeping all over the place she said she was trying to sweep up and collect all the dust she could see. It was rather amusing to watch, but I had to tell her that it didn't work that way." If Reikka had a confused or questioning look about what she meant Nox added a quick explanation that her semblance also allows her to see the dust that occurs naturally, it is that particular that can be found floating about where ever that generally powers the semblance. Since Reikka could see what Yenna was seeing she made no mention about how she deals with being able to see it unless she asked That would be hard to understand without understanding what it looks like to someone not used to seeing it all the time.
___ As they left the gym area Nox took on a role more like following Reikka's lead. Reikka moved the conversation on to her own semblance and made no reply on if she had a place in mind. But since she kept walking with purpose Nox assumed that she did and there in she followed. "Ectoplasm?" This time it was her turn to sound surprised. She actually sounded more surprised than Reikka had earlier. "As in that stuff you hear about in ghost stories?" Nox was eyeing her and thinking that she did look a bit like a ghost with the color scheme she wore, her fair complexion, and white hair. Though she was definitely as warm as any other human when she looked earlier. Plus the cold air had her nose and cheeks turning red to boot. No way she was a a ghost or anything of that like. That ability was out there though. Nox could see how it could drain away her aura really quickly though.
___ When asked about a weakness they could train in regard to her semblance Nox stopped walking for a moment. The cold forced her to resume though very quickly. It was a difficult question. Nox really felt that her semblance was largely a strength. The downsides it had largely were outside her control as well. "Um... Maybe defense reactions? My area of control doesn't extend out very far from my body as far as being able to break down aura attacks. So it requires fast reactions to deal with things before they reach me." She said after finishing her thinking. That was of course assuming entirely that those attacks complete lacked any physical component too. That was the real weakness of her semblance and the reason she trained her weapon skills so much.
Oswald decided it was time to start doing some training once again. He knew that it is time to get faster, far stronger, and absolutely better than he is now. He entered the gym and had a sense of preparation in his mind. Trying to get the flow and be ready for what he is about to do. He plans to be in the gym for several hours doing all kinds of training for the day and other days to come.
Oswald started to do some stretch exercises. Bringing in his left arm across from each other and even doing a perfect split. He made sure to stretch his muscles before his exercise for today. He followed being flat on the floor than flipped forward with ease. Now he was ready to start his training session. He was inconsistent but he will be better than ever.
Oswald went to the basketball line. He bent forward and had his hands touch the ground of the gym. He then forced his legs upward, this made him handstand on the ground. What he planned was do handstand push-ups all the way to the other side of the court. Every four 'walks' on his hand he would go down three times. This was going to be a long day for Oswald and he hopes it would be. The longer the day, the more time for training.
Oswald wasn't even breaking a sweat for something like this. Normally, people would have dropped when they reached half of the court. But Oswald was able to reach the end of the court while doing more than fifty pushups while on handstanding. Oswald was able to complete his exercise without resting and felt a great blood flow in his body. He has completely warmed up from this. He was on the line of the court and then he flipped from an upside down position to his feet landing on the ground. Though his knees buckled from the dismount. Now that he was finished, he would now prepare for the next session.
Oswald was feeling the blood flow after that exercise. He was ready to go serious. Oswald thought about what he should do. He thought about some weight training. But he thought of something better. Instead of using some equipment. He should use the assistance of mother nature. He decided to go to the forest and city outskirts to help him train.

Her heels would make a noise against the Gym floor. In her hands, she had the book from the Library. She had checked it out, and was happy to be able to read it in near peace. There were others around that were wandering. Late comers like herself. She didn't see many faunus though. She had heard that there were people like her, but with fuzzy ears and tails. She was so Curious about it, she wanted to see it for herself!
She went over to her bedroll, and would put the book with her stuff. She would then sit on it, wondering what she should do. There were students on missions, but people like her weren't given any direction.
Sváfnir entered into the gym dressed in his shabby attire a decent training uniform Agmundr had gifted him just before he set off for Beacon, that seemed to hug him in all the right places but left much of the moving parts of his upper body exposed such as the arms as well as the neck and lower abs leaving very little to the imagination in terms of his figure. Many would give the young slayer weird look but would be met with a simple smile and wave. After a good 5 minutes of weaving through other students Sváfnir found a spot that seemed unused and just big enough for him to fit, As he approached Sváfnir noticed a female who was sitting near wearing one of the most pretty dresses he had ever seen.Excuse me little one is this space taken? And if not would you mind if I took refuge here?Sváfnir says baring a gentle smile crouching a bit as to get to eye level with the female as he spoke one of the ways Agmundr taught him to show respect to strangers.Please do not feel obligated to say yes out of kindness for I don't want you to feel uncomfortable with my being hereSváfnir said grinning a bit more now as he spoke

Male's were subservient right? They were in her tribe at least. Their clothing had one thing in common, it revealed a lot of their bodies. Her wings would flutter open and closed for a moment. He had yellow eyes, while her's were Hazel. They both had black hair, but at the end of his, it was red. She would reach a gloved hand towards his stomach. She wanted to see if it was real.
He asked if he could join her here. "Oh, yes, you can join me." Her voice was soft, but kind of excited. "Sorry, you are the first human to ever talk to me, without wanting compensation!" Her voice was still excitable. What kind of things did they like? Did they eat like her? Did they like sweet foods? Did they knew where to get fresh honey to make Honey treats? She loved honey treats. They were little batches of hardened honey. Her Father used to bring them home for her all the time.
Sváfnir eyes shimmered from his excitement of what he saw the wings of the female flutter into view as upon his first approach he felt rather docile for not having seen them. watched the girl curiously as she seemed to study him Sváfnir followed her eyes as she looked him over. The young hunter was surprised as the female reached for his lower abdomen but Sváfnir simply played it off with a smile not wanting to offend a custom or anything like that so he did not shy from her touch.Thank you, I am Sváfnir Nuntis only child of Agmundr I am rather pleased to meet you. Don't take this the wrong way but your wings are rather prettySváfnir replied graciously his eyes going back and forth from the females Hazel eyes to her wings before he rolled out his cot and sat turning his attention to the female again a bit bewildered by her words 'without compensation' Sváfnir frowns bit before thinking 'Why would any do such a thing What is it you meant by the only human to talk to you without compensation?'Then it dawned on Sváfnir looking to the girls dress and wings again "She must be a her tribe leaders daughter" Sváfnir then gave a respectful bowAllow me to apologize I didn't know you were the daughter of your tribes Alfa, Unfortunately I have nothing of value to give at the moment but please allow me to compensate for the time you have given me in another way. Sváfnir said sincerely awaiting any suggestions from the female.

It was real! That was cool. MOst of the men in the tribe had weaker stomachs, but his seemed strong! He was actually a warrior. It was odd for her, but that was fine. She was in a new place, to learn to be a warrior. That's what she had to do to pay back the tribe for her wings. They opened and closed again, with her thoughts.
Her wings would open again. "Oh! I'm Periwinkle Flutterfly, warrior from the butterfly tribe." She wasn't an official warrior yet, but she was working on it. He would then mention her wings, they would droop a bit. "Oh, thank you...they were my mothers." Her mood seemed to flatten at when she said that. Indicating some sadness. However, the words that he was saying was weird. "I'm not the daughter of one of the elders? I'm the daughter of a warrior."
However, there was something that he had to give to her, company. "Even though I'm not one of the Elder's daughters, there is something that we can give each other! It's company, and to be honest, I'm very lost in this world." Wait, maybe she had to explain why there was always compensation in her interactions. "Oh, I've only really talked to humans to make trades, mostly for books!" Maybe that would clear things up? She had no clue...
Sváfnir was rather relieved Periwinkle felt comfortable enough to also give her name to him. Sváfnir stretches and takes a deep breath releasing bothThank you Miss Flutterfly you are the first I have truly made conversation with since leaving my tribe and it pleases me to have met someone so kind on upon just arrivingSváfnir again with a small smile that would soon fade as he noted the sudden drop in in Flutterfly's wings Sváfnirv could feel he brought back a few unwanted memories that held a deep sadness, Not wanting to let such a moment be broken but such sadness Sváfnir smiled once againJudging by the looks of those wings I am sure your mother was the most beautiful of butterfly warriorsSváfnir says genuine in his tone now deciding to speak not more of the subject as to make sure Flutterfly would not be saddened. Sváfnir hearing Flutterfly was not a tribe elders child made him a bit embarrassed as a slight red hue would be visible even if just for a moment, The young slayer listened to all of Flutterfly's words before he answered finding where it was he made the mistake and readied himself to correctSorry for the assumptions Miss Flutterflys I shall try to be more astute in future conversation.Hearing Flutterfly had little interaction with humans reminded Sváfnir of home in a way the seclusion and independence of his tribe from his experience made him proud as it helped the tribe learn to depend on each other and keep the old ways relevant in younger generations. I see well although I am unable to supply trade for a book my company is yours to have if you would have me, As for being lost I am afraid I am in quite the same circumstance for I know very little of the world outsidemy tribe and from what I do know I was told by my Fathe Agmundr but I am overwhelmed with the amount of excitement I hold for exploring this new world!Sváfnir spoke his words seeming like that of a child that can't wait to see what he got for his birthday present. Sváfnir's eyes would shimmer again at the thought of different kinds of meat dishes he has yet to discover
