[quote=Eklispe] After running for what seemed like forever Sol arrived back at the junction where Meruin had been reading her large collection of books, panting he walked up to her and leaned against the wall to catch his breath, "So what you reading there Meruin? Looks like you getting some serious studying in." Sol said still winded. [/quote] Meruin's eyes looked up from her books for a picosecond, and then returned. "Haven't been able to study since I got here. I'd fall behind my standard performance if I delayed any longer," she said quickly. After browsing for a few minute she spoke again. "Also I need more knowledge to help me make my gr- er, project of sorts." Another pause. "So, how about you? You look tired."
