She had ran all  the way at top speed, a pink lightening bold across the campus until she slammed into the door of the Spica dorms and stumbled back onto her backside.

Sh, so she was here already. She got up and dusted herself off and went to sit on a bench, rubbing her temples. Maybe it wasn't so bad, she'd just tell Zuko what happened and explain calmly. She had no excuse as to why she hadn't protested more, she was afraid, but more importantly it hadn't been fear that kept her still so much as terrible and unwanted desire.

She was so ashamed, that picture, Haru was going to use it to keep Zuko and her apart. The idea made her stomach hurt and she was going to cry again. She opened her book from her bag and held it up, faking like she had fallen asleep reading on the bench, it was an excuse to cry in public without anyone really noticing. But someone had noticed her, a certain firey lioness.

Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don't you see?
You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting
Bye bye, beautiful

There was a lot to think about right now. That night with Tori, how to confront Tora and her parents, The Student Police setup and exam, all of it weighed on her mind right now. As such, she decided it was time to take a breather and think. Stepping away from the problem wasn't her natural state, but considering just how many problems had come up, she had no choice but to handle them one at a time apart from each other. To access this breather, she donned an outfit she owned but had never worn before - denim jeans and a black band shirt from the one concert she had been to in her life. This was not natural for her at all, but maybe that was good. She needed to be away from all things Raion and all things Spica, and look objectively at this. However, that was putting quite the sour spot on her mood.

In a naturally angry mood, it was hard for Raion to be okay with what was happening in front of her. Even if it was her cub, this kind of display was simply unforgivable of a Spican. She would fix this problem immediately - Even if she was in street clothes for the first time in her life and had no room to talk, she would do so anyway. She couldn't tell right away that Kisumi was hurting, due to her own mindset, but upon further prodding she was sure to adopt the problem into her laundry list of things to do. For now, she would Tsun it up.

"Straighten your posture. You look like a slacker." she scolded sharply. "I won't be having any slackers under my rule. Even friends."
