Iri walks out of the shadows of the trees. There's a definite slouch in her posture, very out of character for her. The usual sundress is a little dusty and frayed. Despite her worn-out appearance, though, there's a hint of a proud gleam in her eyes. Whatever she's been up to, it's been worth while.
The tired girl makes her way onto the porch. She unhooks her tessen from her belt and tosses them and her book onto the wooden planks. Then she flops into an empty seat, letting her wings fall to either side of the chair. Her right wing looks as though it may be shaking a little, and red tinges the feathers surrounding a small wound.

Ally had finally managed to get her vision back and folded the blanket leaving it at the bottom of the bed. She slowly walked out towards her room thinking again. She walked in seeing a yellow cieling and rubbed her eyes looking at it again.
"did someone paint my cieling.....?" She asked herself seeing that it had been three days, but she doubted she'd get the training after what had happened. She sat on her bed bringing her fingers slowly trough her silky hair.
She saw a mess of her hair and combed it crying when it went over where the wound had been. She slowly seperated her hair revealing a mark and a scar left by the hit to the head and then finished combing her hair trying to leave her head in the least ammount of pain possible. When she finished she got dressed into family robes, with her family symbol engraved in gold on the back.
"how can i stop what i'm susposed to, when i can even stop myself......?" she asked smashing her fist into her pillow. She walked over to her vanity and opened her jewelery box and put on her family necklace and earings, for some reason she felt like wearing it today, yet she had no idea why. She walked out to the main room lookign for Seph and the other person who had been there, but was having no sucess in it at the time. She continue looking, wondering where neko was as well.

Reeve's hands cup together, as if he's holding something tiny. Blowing through a tiny interstice in his hands, he succeeds in making a harmonica like sound. How? We're not quite sure. But, finding the ability, Reeve sits lazily on the steps of the porch, playing a morose, plaintive solo.

Iri leans forward to grab her book and weapons. Not noticing a convenient little table anywhere, she sets the items in her lap. Best not to leave them where someone else can trip over them.
When she leans back, her right wings moves just the wrong way. She cringes, then looks over to the wound. The wing slowly moves so she can examine first one side and then the other. Sure enough, it's a through and through. For a wing of that size, it isn't a significant wound. It will make moving and flying quite painful for a while, though. And through and through wounds take a long time to heal.
Music catches Iri's attention. She looks toward the steps, noticing Reeve for the first time. Is she really that out of it that she didn't notice him before? She shakes her head and leans back in her seat, too tired to start a conversation.

~ Are y'allright?~
He does his best not to sound too tense and awkward, still playing the psuedo-harmonica.

...Up. Get UP, Nyl.
She rolled over, covering her eyes with one hand. She still couldn't tell whether that was her voice or the voice of her past telling her she had to get up. She was angry at either one, regardless. Sleep was something she valued, after all.
It persisted, though, so she rolled out of bed - a bed she could hardly remember returning to - changed out of pajamas, and headed to the main room with a barely-covered yawn.
~Good morning, academy. Anyone home?~

Iri rolls her eyes and grins sheepishly. "I just had my first real accident since you found me passed out in the forest. Nyl has me practicing a powerful wind barrier, and I made the mistake of getting my wing caught in it. A stick went right through it. Nothing serious, though."
"I'm here! What's up, Nyl?"

Nyl Phairen ...Up. Get UP, Nyl. She rolled over, covering her eyes with one hand. She still couldn't tell whether that was her voice or the voice of her past telling her she had to get up. She was angry at either one, regardless. Sleep was something she valued, after all. It persisted, though, so she rolled out of bed - a bed she could hardly remember returning to - changed out of pajamas, and headed to the main room with a barely-covered yawn. ~Good morning, academy. Anyone home?~ She heard her but still didn't undertsand how to respond, she had gotten lucky the times she had. She thought hoping it would get to her. ~I'm here sensei.....~ She said in her mind not knowing if it had gotten to her or not as she walked in the main room still seeming to be pacing.

Seph torched the final defense, this one happening to be the post with the Mizu symbol etched on the mask. He grunted and clapped his hands together. Six handseals and an inaudible muttering of a jutsu, a single pebble popped out of the ground. This also had the Mizu symbol.
"Byakougan." After a thorough examination, he felt safe enough to go ahead and place it in the earth. No one was around to see him do it, and it should stay that way.
He yawned and made his way back towards the Academy.

~Why hello, Iri. How's that wind barrier coming?~
Nyl was grinning shamelessly, both in her mind and physically. She wondered if it was this way for all her students, once they got it. ...It was quite the feeling.
Suppose I should start on that letter, then...
~You outside?~

~ Here, Lady Nyl~
Reeve stops playing abruptly and lays out his herb kit.
"Want I should do what I can? I'm nae good as Nyl, but I can 'elp, that I can."

~Evening, Reeve. Nice music.~
She came out onto the porch, stretching and breaking into another victorious grin.

Iri quirks a brow. The mere mention of that technique is enough to make her wing twinge at the moment. "Yeppers, I'm on the porch. As for the wind barrier, it's going well. Got a little banged up, but I think I'm starting to get it under control."
She reverts her attention back to Reeve. "I'd appreciate it immensely. Bandages won't stick to my feathers, but some peroxide or something like that would be a big help."

Reeve nods and takes a stoppered bottle from his pack.
"Got some righ' 'ere. You want me to do it, or should you?"
He grins happily at Nyl's comment about his music.
