[u]Poppy[/u]

Only when she was a good twenty feet away Poppy began to think about things like where she was going to go now. She didn't know her way around the academy so she should probably take another seat. The further end of the table from Gabe seemed like as good spot as any. Her hunger still hadn't returned so she didn't bother to get more food. Instead she put her elbows on the table and supported her head with her hands as she waited for the meal to get over with. Saline droplets rolled off her chin and formed a tiny pool on the table bellow.

[i]Why me.[/i] All she wanted to do was go back to the house and forget all of this. Have the servants tend to her needs. Mask the void within her with material wants. Poppy had given up on trying to be happy long ago, at there she was comfortable. But now she had no where to go. [i]I hate this school.[/i] Something obscured her already limited vision.

It was that boy again. Poppy blushed as she took it from him. She turned away and hastily dried her tears. When she pulled it away she was horrified to see that some of her makeup had come off on it. "No I'm the one who should be apologizing, my makeup seems to have soiled your handkerchief..." Poppy sniffled.Her nose wrinkled. [i]Something smells like ass.[/i] Nothing that she would dare say aloud, especially since she realized it must have been him. That's why he left. No matter, he was treating her very nicely and that was more than she could say for the others thus far.

"Maybe there's a bathroom to rinse it out!" [i]The one person that is decent and this happens. Hopefully he has another...[/i] Then she realized that she still hadn't introduced herself. "Oh and my name is Poppy. "Thank you and sorry again."

[u]Vespera[/u]

When Vespera saw the boy who later introduced himself as Felix approach she tensed. Sure enough he butted in replacing Red as her current biggest annoyance. Worse was that after answering her question Nikki turned her attention to him. She clicked her fingernails against the table once then looked up and down it once as she waited.

There was nothing of too much interest. Her gaze rested on Henry a hair of a second longer because her instincts told her he was the biggest threat. However she knew that everything was not as it seems. He nor she were not the most powerful mutants here. Thus the reason for her cloak and dagger antics. In her mind the academy and the world for that matter was dog eat dog and she was willing to do what it takes to be on top. For now that meant playing nice. An opportunity would present itself soon enough, it always did.

[i]What an idiot[/i] was Vespera's initial impression after hearing what he had to say. People who use slang any words, even more so ones as short as 'you' sounded uneducated. Furthermore she found his analogy of throwing baseballs at j-walkers particularly distasteful. Speaking of which she spotted Red coming back in. He stopped over by where the sheltered redhead ran off to. Maybe he'd stay over there, that'd suit her just fine.

The movement under Nikki's clothes didn't go unnoticed. This gave Vespera an idea for if and when her patience ran out.
