Flower was walking in the quad.
It was a free period for her, she didn’t have much to do. Her homework was already done because she had decided to finish it a soon as she got it rather than wait. She supposed she could start studying for her Math for whatever pop quiz Professor Jay decided to throw at them again. He seemed to like those a lot.
It was a good time to simply walk around the campus. She liked doing that. It was a nice day outside. Winter was coming to an end and it seemed to be an especially comfortable day outside. Flower was wearing her school uniform. She liked the uniforms at Haven, simple and clean. Her bottom half had her dark leather, knee high boots with light lavender laces and her regular black leggings. Around her neck was her usual ribbon with its ends trailing behind her. Her light lavender grey hair was tied up in its normal ponytail, darker patches of purple colored hair could be seen in layers and in the bangs that framed her face. Violet eyes wandered the campus, she was still just enjoying the fact that she was there at Haven. There were few other students walking around, she didn’t recognize a lot of them.
She reached into her pocket, pulling out a shiny black stone that shone with a red tint. It was Qiu’li’s stone, something he had given her to remember him by. She liked looking at it. It was very pretty. She always wondered why he gave it to her, even when he had told her the very reason. She remembered that Mika had given her something as well. The herbs had a nice aroma and it filled her room with that natural essence she missed from her late mother’s flower shop.
But as she rounded a corner, she suddenly recognized two students, charging toward her.
Qiu’li and Mika.
Flower blinked, standing very still. The both of them their normal school uniforms on as well, but it seemed that their jackets and shirts had been… ripped away? Just what were the two running from? She supposed it would be something that would have scared them both, and simply by a conclusion, it would have to be something very intimidating to frighten those two very big men. They were running very fast.
The girl noticed that the two were disturbing the relative peace of the campus. Many other students had to jump out of their way or were perturbed by their charge. Flower didn’t move. Her fist curled around the black stone in her hand, moments later her body was encased in the heavy stone material. She reached her arms outward, standing like a wall.
“Please stop.”
It was a practical thing to do of what the girl thought to do, and really the only way to stop the two of them.

Leaves fly in the air as two men run through the courtyard of Haven Academy.
"I swear once I catch you two-" The rest of the threat is lost to the babble of the crowd to Mika's ear as he's already diving through another crowd of students.
"Should we split?" Mika asked his fellow fugitive feet beating a hasty retreat. Though the hunt was thrilling with the chase being so close as the Faunus had yet to relent in her tracking of them, Mika was growing rather annoyed at how hard it was to hide.
Yet before Mika could hear a response from Qiu'li a small figure made of some dark stone stood in their way! Strangely it was wearing clothes, what was even queerer was the fact it spoke in Flower's voice!
"Please stop."
Truly the wonders of technology were a marvel to see, though Mika was concerned as to why the school had a robot made in the form of his friend Flower. Might be best simply to carry it along to show to the girl, it'd make for a grand tale if nothing else!
Course set in Mika called out to Qiu'li who was easily keeping pace with the larger man, "Grab her arms!" With that quick bark of command, he surged forwards as a yellow glow erupted all along his body. A small clap of thunder echoed out from where the larger man had stood only to stop on a dime before the Flower-bot in squat large arms spread wide.
With a pap of flesh on stone, Mika wrapped his arms around the Flower-bot's legs and heaved!
@#$@!(
How was it so heavy!? It came in such a small size!
Gritting his teeth as he would not be bested by such a paltry thing as Flower-bot being too heavy Mika felt the yellow aura of Bolt intensify as he struggled. Suddenly the weight was far more bearable as from behind Mika heard the grunt of exertion of Qiu'li assisting him!
Huffing from the effort Mika grinned despite it as he bellowed, "Onward!"
The formerly duo now a trio of students pushed forward through the crowd heading towards the woods!
The power of Falling Ashes allowed Qiu'li to soar over waves of students between leaps and bounds as his fellow friend simply barreled through the crowd, knocking down any poor sap that dared get in their ways. If they weren't going to suffer a concussive blast from Qiu'li using their shoulders as a springboard, they would surely get sent flying by the sheer force of mass that was Mika. Despite their best efforts, the Faunus was in hot pursuit glaring daggers at them. At some point it truly did feel like he was home again in Forever Fall, being hunted by Grimm or pursuing bandits all over again. It was an exhilarating type of pursuit, however. One that he hadn't felt since he left his home.
Following Mika's gaze forward, he heard him suggest splitting up. Having the idea of going laterally, his thoughts were stopped by the incoming human-shaped stone wall that suddenly appeared out of thin air. Having no ability to stop suddenly in midair, all he could do was crash into the figure. While the stone figure didn't stop, Qiu'li certainly did, as he sustained a significant amount of damage and having the wind knocked out of him. Falling back down, he looked up to see Mika squatting down. Ah- he intended to pick this thing up? And carry it!? He didn't know for what reason he had to do so, but it seemed like he was determined, which Qiu'li respected.
Seeing as he could hardly even knock the statue, which strangely resembled Flower upon close inspection, he decided on the next best thing: Using Fennu to hoist the statue up with the help of Mika. Right, the damage he suffered from the collision was more than enough, and as he knelt down to assist Mika, steam erupted from his body and escaped from between his lips as his skin turned into a deep shade of red-purple as he hoisted the statue up and over his shoulder. Without so much as a noise, he gave a loud grunt to indicate he was ready.
"Onward!"
"Raagh!"
Forward they charged towards the wooden area, but actually seemed to be just a patch of forestry just for decoration which actually happened to be heading towards the entrance of Haven Academy!! The forest would have to be just beyond the walls of Mistral and towards the outskirts of the city, where the remote villages were located. Regardless, the Faunus was still in pursuit. Despite the increased weight, Mika's and Qiu'li's Semblance made up for the difference as they barreled forward, except with a battering ram at this point as the students knowingly got out of the way or risked a fate worse than being trampled on.

"I try to be understanding because I think that most people are actually quite surprising."
[attr="class","flowerfiotext"]
The girl wasn’t sure what to expect.
Surely, she didn’t expect them to pick her up. She saw both Mika and Qiu’li glow with the respective auras, but she simply stood still and allowed them to grab her by her very stiff arms and legs. For all intents and purposes, the girl was practically a statue and now the both of them had picked her up for apparently no reason at all.
She was amazed at how fast either of them could move whilst carrying her. Flower estimated that she was nearly 400 lbs thanks to her fully stone transformation. She wondered where they were taking her, the campus seemed to be going by very fast. Many other students were rushing out of the way from the wild pair.
Her blank face additionally made her look at lot like a statue. She also began to wonder if either of them realized that it was indeed herself, Flower, and not a literal statue.
“Can you put me down please?”
Her voice remained rather monotone. It was just naturally how the girl spoke. She figured it wouldn’t hurt to try and ask. She wasn’t sure if either of them could hear her or were really paying attention. She didn’t exactly like being towed around the campus like a battering ram, or whatever else they intended to use her as. Well, she did hope they weren’t going to use her as a battering ram. Though, she also supposed that whatever the case was, she wasn’t really to be hurt drastically in any way thanks to her semblance.
“Can you also tell me what you are running from?”
She added another question, still very unaware of how this entire situation came to be or why she was suddenly roped into it. She supposed it was exciting, not the usual kind of outing with friends that she would expect to go on. She thought to herself again, that yes, she considered both Mika and Qiu’li her friends despite the very confusing situation that was going on.
And indeed, it was all still very confusing.

If Mika had heard Flower he didn't seem to acknowledge it though thanks to her vantage point atop of the two men Flower would catch a hint of what was chasing the duo that was steadily gaining on the trio. A wolf girl faunus normal in appearance by all accounts through the fact her aura was in use and the eerie blue glow from her eyes was concerning. Those same spooky eyes locked onto violet eyes and a mighty big frown pinched the girl's face as her steps looped after the party.
"The woods!" Mika huffed out as his arms were steadily growing heavy from the rather hefty golem over his shoulder, "Lose her there!"
Hopping over a small decorative fence the giant continues to lead the way to the woods though Mike had to stutter step as he realized the woods here was simply a grove and not the primeval mass of ancient times like he had expected. Right, they don't have forests as big as they go back home, did they?
Hearing the pointed growl coming from behind the sparse amount of vegetation that they had passed through had Mika double down on his plan. Keep running!
Beating steps through the small grove and passing through a small clearing that held a few stone benches the end of the woods was soon apparent as the trio burst through the foliage trails of leaves following behind in their wake.
"You can keep running, but you'll only die tired you hooligans!" Cried the faunus girl not far from behind the group.
With that wonderful incentive Mika could see the road leading out of Haven and to the forest just past the walls of Mistral, perhaps the city might be a better way to lose their dogged tracker. It was only the distinctive thwap of displaced air that warned Mika enough to halt their running as an overly large ax flew through the air to smash into the road ahead of them!
The runes upon the axehead looked almost familiar to Mika, but that was soon forgotten as the chill from before returned with a vengeance.
"You're not escaping me that easily, not with my eyes on you." The faunus said hands still outstretched from the heavy throw. "Now are you tw-three going to behave now or will I need to bring the professors into this?" The girl asked hand resting on the cocked hip as she waited for a response. Her eyes still glowing with the eerie blue, some type of semblance no doubt must be a tracking type, there'd be no other reason for her to be so sure to find them.
Mika took the chance then to softly rumble to the others, "Fight or flee?"
As steam continued to emit from Qiu'li's body, he let out another huff as more steam billowed into the air. Since his back was turned, he could not get a look at their pursuer's face and couldn't tell whether to be afraid or not. While he could maintain the pace due to his running, he couldn't say the same for his larger companion as he was huffing and puffing. It seemed like he intended on heading straight for the forest, but there a couple problems with that.
One, they were practically in the Cloud District, which meant that they would have to run through both the Wind District, the Ground District, and then through the outskirts to the forest.
Two, Qiu'li couldn't maintain Fennu form for a whole while longer and Mika seemed like he was running out of steam too, unlike Qiu'li who still had some steam left, figuratively and literally. Suddenly a blur of metal and wood flew past Qiu'li and hit the ground in front of them with a loud Crrk. It seemed like they were stopping, and as soon as they did, he saw what had narrowly missed their heads. A runic axe bound by a worn cloth.
Upon turning around to see the Faunus, she was breathing pretty heavily but fairly intimidating as she was able to hurl an axe that size towards the two of them. Qiu'li glanced over at Mika who whispered to him whether or not they should fight or flee. Considering that he'd rather not try to injure a student that hadn't even had said anything yet and threatened to get an Instructor's intervention, he decided that the best course of action is to cease resistance. Though he hated it, there didn't seem to be a good action to take at the moment. Plus the statue continued to hold them do- wait a moment.
Did she said three? Qiu'li furrowed his brow as he thought to himself what she could possibly mean. There was Mika, himself, and...
“Can you put me down please?”
Oh.
Oh.
Looking up, he realized that the reason why this statue seemed so familiar was because it was Flower herself, using her Semblance. Though it seemed like it was much stronger than the first time that he had seen it. He turned quickly to Mika and shook his head.
"No plan. Also, Flower is here." He murmured back. This was awkward on many levels.

"I try to be understanding because I think that most people are actually quite surprising."
[attr="class","flowerfiotext"]
It seemed for the most that she was being ignored.
Maybe they didn’t really notice that she was really herself and not some statue they decided to randomly pick her. Her blank stare reminded, but she was curious about what their intentions were. She still had little idea of why the two were running away in the first place…
"You can keep running, but you'll only die tired you hooligans!"
Ah.
Flower’s stone eyes caught sight of what exactly was chasing them. A very disturbed Faunus of some sort, a fellow student it looked like. Though Flower still had little idea why she was so very angry to the point of chasing the two across campus. She had to think back to the mannerisms of either of the two boys. She couldn’t think of a reason why either of them would offend the girl on purpose. After a moment, she did realize that the two of them tended to be very blunt individuals who had little concept of formal social etiquette. It wasn’t that hard to imagine that their very simple natures could turn into a detrimental situation.
Something whizzed by. An ax? Well, the Faunus girl wasn’t messing around.
Finally, the pair did seem to stop.
And with the Faunus girl said, it seemed that Qiu’li finally got around to realizing that Flower indeed was a real person and not a statue.
“Yes, I have been here the whole time.” She responded to his very obvious statement with an obvious statement of her own. She wasn’t surprised that neither of them had noticed, they had been very preoccupied with something else. With the moment of reprieve, Flower decided to take matters into her own hands.
“Now please, put me down.”
While she didn’t have much technique, she did have raw strength, which was actually superior than both of the young men despite their natural physicality on top of semblance boosts. Perhaps if the two of them had been focusing on holding her, they could have overpowered her, but on their own and currently distracted, Flower was confident she could wrestle herself free of their grips if they decided not to let her down after she asked politely. That was the thing about Flower, she didn’t like not like a lot of things, but she rather preferred not repeating herself. She had requested it once, she was not going to do it again.
Landing on the ground with a large thud, the earth beneath her seemed to make a miniature crater due to her being made of solid stone.
She stood tall, though perhaps she was the shortest one in the standoff of four and then she stepped forward. She was raising her hands to prevent either of the two boys from advancing.
“Stay.”
Flower ordered and she was not going to be questioned.
She looked to ax on the ground and pixed it up, having no trouble with it despite it being as large as herself. Flower held it out, a peace offering. Her stone body was very sturdy, her aura was still glowing with a light lavender. Flower then gave a small apologetic bow to the Faunus girl as she offered her the weapon.
“Please, you must forgive my friends’ actions. They both are foreigners and are not aware of natural, civilized social etiquette. I can assure you, neither of them offended you out of malicious intent.” Indeed, she hoped that it was the case, and she was nearly certain that was exactly what happened. Of course, she had taken notice that both of them had their shirts and jackets completely torn. “They are both oblivious and somewhat muscleheaded.”
She added the words that seemingly satisfied the Faunus girl with a short hmph of agreement. Flower had to resist the urge to think that the girl was cute, what with her animal ears and rather flustered appearance. Flower’s words were successful in calming the Faunus girl down, once flaming with indeterminate rage, she seemed to now calmly, if not cautiously, accept her weapon back from the grey haired girl.
“Tsk. Yeah right, whatever. Figures.”
Her words still had a large twinge of annoyance.
Flower was able to breathe out, though her appearance still remained to be that of stone. For the girl who so often held a blank stare, being made of stone hardly helped her make any more expression. Nonetheless, she was getting her point calmly across to the Faunus girl.
“I request that you do not go to faculty about this incident. If possible, can verbal apologies and short physical discipline administered by myself be sufficient?”
The end of Flower’s inquiry made the Faunus girl perk her animal ears up. And a short smirk soon decorated her face, her eyes flashed with a light aqua blue aura. She snickered, placing a hand on her hip as she leaned her weight on her large battle ax, also shining with the same aura. Perhaps she already saw that Flower’s physical strength far surpassed her own and she was ready to see where this was going to go.
“Alright, sure.”
Flower nodded once, now turning back to her two companions.
“Let me hit you.” Her words were simple and direct. “If you do not, she will fight you and I will not help. If you run again, she will obviously come after you and she has the semblance to track you both and to fight you. Regardless of the outcome, we will all be disciplined and we will all be sent to detention. If you are not aware of what detention is, it is like prison. Normally I would not intervene like this and allow you two to receive your proper punishment, but since you literally dragged me into this I would receive the same discipline. I do not wish to go to detention for actions I was not originally complicit in.” Flower looked to them both with a literal stone cold stare. She may have spoken in her usual monotonous voice, but if the two boys had ever heard Flower be angry, then this was the first moment they would have perceived such a thing. Her words were simply, fiercely logical and this was the best solution for all of them.
She only waited a moment, but in short, she wasn’t giving the boys a choice or a chance to really respond.
She immediately reeled back her right arm and punched Qiu’li first. It was straight in the chest, the height that Flower could reach without overextending herself. Simultaneously, her left arm came back and hit Mika, due to his sheer size and stature, she would be hitting him more in the gut. If Flower really was holding back, then either boy would have a hard time telling. And once again, if hit squarely, they would be reminded strength of Flower when she was transformed.
She was not someone to be trifled with.

It would take a few moments for Mika to realize that things may have not gone to plan. The first hint was the frankly large ax in the ground, then Qiu'li voting for not fighting when the golem started to speak in Flower's voice! When Flower began to break free Mika would let the girl slide down off his shoulders with no small amount of relief. That relief turned to astonishment when the petite girl landed on the stone and caused small craters to nearly have Mika lose his footing at the sudden depressions!
Off balanced Mika would pitch forward only to reel back with a sudden jerk of motion as Flower's stone hand came up and the order to stay put. Caught on the back foot Mika blinked at the sudden command feeling a touch like a dog sent outside after tearing up the house. That worry continued to grow as Flower began to speak with the Faunus she-devil that had been chasing after them. Mika tensed up as Flower handed the ax back to the Faunus before the faintest sheen of red grew on the giant's face as Flower explicitly listed their faults with more fancied civilization.
They weren't that bad, honest!
As Flower continued to talk Mika felt his semblance fade away the yellow aura no longer straining to make him move faster through the quad, the faint hum caused by Bolt was enough to drown out what Flower had said next when she came to a stop before him. Opening his mouth to ask what had happened Mika was caught off guard as the small girl of stone suddenly struck harshly into his unprepared gut! Spittle flew as the sneak attack for what else could it have been neatly bypassed most his aura and he could feel the aftershocks travel through his body. Staggering from the blow acknowledging somewhere in the far corner of his mind Qiu'li being struck first, Mika took one step, then two. With a hearty inhale of sweet air and moving his aura to aide in the healing of the no doubt fist-sized bruise on his stomach, Mika grit his teeth to hold the pain at bay.
"Ha, you've got spunk kid, I like that. Keep it up when it comes to combat class and you'll go far. Just make sure your two boy-toys are kept in uniform, can't have them traipsing around the campus in just their pants." The faunus girl says slinging the ax over her shoulders letting her arms rest upon the wood of the weapon.
"Not, my fault. The school only had the one size and it broke." Mika said quietly to himself looking disheartened.
With the authority of a terrifying instructor, Qiu'li stayed put in after being ordered by Flower to do so. Seeing her apologize in his stead for his own behavior filled Qiu'li with an incredible amount of shame. So much so that he almost wanted to die of sheer embarrassment and humiliation. Not only had she fully explained what he had done wrong, but also had to explain to the woman just why he acted in such a way, which made him realize what exactly he had done wrong.
“I request that you do not go to faculty about this incident. If possible, can verbal apologies and short physical discipline administered by myself be sufficient?”
Before Flower could even open her mouth to explain what she was going to do to him, Qiu'li got on both of his knees and slammed his his forehead full force into the concrete, creating a relatively smaller crater compared to Flower, but one nonetheless. Steam continued to eminate from his still beet-red skin as he placed both hands on the ground and prostrated before the two of them.
"I apologize for my actions!" He shouted. "Know not of my action, but cause great deal of trouble to Flower and you."
While Qiu'li wasn't one to speak much, he knows when he had messed up, and was trained since young to admit his faults when needed. Perhaps that's the source of his discipline, but frankly, he seemed almost childlike in this regard with how he acted.
As he sat back up, with a minimal amount of blood pooling on his forehead, he was met with the full force of Flower's stone punch to the chest, which knocked the wind right out of him. Having no defensive capabilities, the impact sent Qiu'li back several meters as his body crumpled from the force. His Semblance petered out shortly afterwards as his skin returned to its normal hue and steam no longer emanated from his skin.
All he could do was stare at the sky in shock while gasping for breath from the pain. He dared not shout out in pain or complain about how hard she had hit him, since the blame of causing major disturbances also fell on him. Qiu'li decided that he would meditate somewhere later in order to reflect on his actions, but for now he would struggle to get up slowly and and slowly make his way back before returning to his knees, his head lowered in shame.

"I try to be understanding because I think that most people are actually quite surprising."
[attr="class","flowerfiotext"]
She wasn’t particularly a fan of hurting her friends. But what needed to be was what needed to be done. The faunus agreed to Flower’s suggestion, and so, she hit them both.
Both of them took the hit with about as much grace as they could, which really was hardly any at all. Qiu’li was sent flying backward, while Mika was doubling over in pain. Flower breathed out, letting her arms back down to her sides as she turned to hear what the Faunus had to say.
"Ha, you've got spunk kid, I like that.”
She was satisfied. Flower was satisfied enough as well. The Faunus girl left, making some comment about Flower’s ‘boy toys’ but really Flower was more worried about the state of Mike and Qiu’li themselves. With Mika still standing, Flower walked over to Qiu’li, reaching out to help him up. At this point, she was still made out of stone and would not have much trouble picking him up and setting him on his own two feet, however, dazed the young man was.
“You need better clothes.”
She tilted her head, dusting off Qiu’li’s remnants of his clothes. His uniform was quite dusty from the dirt. Turning to Mika, Flower quickly saw that his top half was bare. Flower kept a blank stare on her face. So, that was what offended the Faunus girl.
“You need clothes.”
Holding Qiu’li up, the girl steadied him until or if he was ready to stand on his own two feet again. “We will go to the school supply store. More uniforms are there, but you will likely need more specified tailoring.” She was speaking mostly about Mika and his muscular body size, of course, his clothes and jacket had ripped because surely normal school uniforms weren’t made for giants. As for Qiu’li, he was tall and quite muscular, but still, a lot more on the average, expected side than the giant before them.
She paused another moment, but her body was already taking her to where they needed to go. “I have the ability to sew and tailor alterations to clothing. I will assist in making suitable uniforms.” Perhaps the two were just lucky that she was there, and that they happened to literally run into her. While it wasn’t necessarily a secret that Flower liked cute clothing, perhaps not many people would have realized that she also had some talent in altering clothing and making it for her own enjoyment. Cosplay and cute outfits were things that Flower just quietly enjoyed and it always felt better to make them herself. She just wondered why the two didn’t ask for better-suited uniforms in the first place. She could either blame it on Haven being unprepared or simply either of them being unable to make or request such a thing on their own.
And just as she began walking whilst still supporting Qiu’li, Flower’s own lavender aura began to flickering around her body. Her transformation was fading.
With her transformation, Flower had been easily able to withstand and overpower any normal human, but with it gone she was quite average in strength, if not just plain delicate. Flower was a girl after all, and a rather small one at that. Holding Qiu’li up would be very difficult if not impossible for her and certainly, that was what was happening.

A snort escapes Mika's lips despite the still throbbing pain in his gut, "You've got a point." he said to Flower's sincere statement on the attire of himself and Qiu'li. Standing upright with a grimace Mika explained further, "The quartermaster said this was the largest they had." A glance towards his bulky arms and then the to tattered remains of cloth that only remained by virtue of being tucked in with a belt that was on the last slot. A stiff breeze is enough to stir the cloth like ghostly wraiths of Mika's broken pride at his mistake.
With a huff of wounded ego Mika shambles on after Flower if only to avoid having the small girl emasculate him even further, though he could understand on a certain level that she was trying to help, the situation still burned. Thankfully, however, that Flower and Qiu'li both seemed to be a good sport about the whole awkward situation even with Flower offering to adjust the uniforms for them both. Now came the question of how to repay the debt as the slight girl did him a service, though that thought it put on hold as Mika notices Qiu'li and Flower both struggle to walk. The reason becomes obvious in hindsight as the statuesque appearance fades from the girl, reaching out with a hand Mika grabbed onto Qiu'li before he could slip free from Flower's grasp taking on the weight.
"I've got it." Mika said softly to Flower before shaking the young man lightly, lightly being a relative term as Qiu'li's head almost flops from the force used, "Come on, now you're making us both look bad."
The 'subtle' chastisement is enough to galvanize Qiu'li to shrug off Mika's aide after having his head shaken about, he stumbled for a moment Mika nearby ready to grab the young man. Grunting Qiu'li planted himself in some strange stance, legs spread before letting out a heavy breath. The act aides Qiu'li as he steps forward on his own power now without trouble though the bruise on the face is quite a shiner. Nodding to himself Qiu'li turned to Flower and bowed nearly falling forward, but catching himself, "Thank you. Please forgive me."
Flower, of course, could only stare for a long moment at Qiu'li's actions before a slight nod is given, "I do. Now, clothes." With those few words, the slight girl begins to lead the duo of foreigners out from the Quad towards the local store of Haven.
Mika nudged Qiu'li along the way and at the questioning glance, Mika would nod, "Did well. Have to pay her back."
Laconically Qiu'li responded, "Yes, how?"
At that question, Mika merely shrugged before motioning towards the woods, "Spot at camp?"
Before the Valean could answer Flower said, "Here." Before the trio was the student's shop and depot of Haven, done in the same stlye as the rest of the academy the depot differed in that the foundation of the building was of strong sturdy stone that towered over even Mika's head. Merging almost seamlessly with the stone was Haven's style of complicated wooden buttresses and multi-layered tower with pointed roof tops that curved outwards. From the outside, the depot hardly looked out of place amongst the rest of Haven only the stone ramparts being a major change from mostly wood buildings of the academy.
Soon enough the party of three has their new uniforms and Flower had already began to measure out the two men's sizes as they walked, only pausing in one of the small groves on a park bench. "Can start camp here," Mika said already starting to gather kindeling for a fire.
Only to be stopped by the small hand of Flower as she frowned ever so slightly, "Dorms."
The sheer confusion on Mika's face is answer enough as Qiu'li adds, "Didn't know."
Face blank at the strange antics of the two young men Flower sighed with the faintest of breathes, setting aside her measuring tape she motioned the two to follow.
