It hadn’t really turned out how she had thought it would though. They were both in the wrong, fighting each other outside of training was just idiotic in her opinion but Dakota had failed to be the bigger person and was the instigator this time which was a bit shocking. Hana has tried to stay out of the situation and she kind of felt guilty she had done so. Summer didn’t deserve to be called the bad guy when it was her bracelet that Astro had thought was pretty enough to swipe which was innocent but what happened to Dakota wasn’t on the up and up either. It was just a bad situation all around. A gentle blush lit on her face, eyes widening when Alayna asked her the simple question. She hadn’t expected it though and she felt awkward at the straightforwardness but it wasn’t so bad to answer. [Color=F9499A]”I g-guess I do. I just can’t stand seeing people suffer.”[/color] Hana answered, rubbing her arm softly. [Color=F9499A]”I’m glad you weren’t troubled. That puts my mind at ease.”[/color], she smiled and was about to suggest they head back when she felt the first drops of rain. She looked up to the darkened sky, looking at the light clouds covering the glittering backdrop of night. Hana quickly pulled at her magic, getting used to the new rush of power under her fingertips as she held the water in the air to form an invisible umbrella, letting it pool and slide everywhere but where they were standing. She loved the rain but the two of them didn’t need to be soaked. Hana only held the magic until they made it under one of the larger trees for cover. How did they get so unlucky to be stuck there? This night had been far from the camping adventure she had hoped for but at least she wasn’t alone. Alayna and her didn’t have much in common, sure, but at least the conversations had been good so far. They stood in a content silence for a bit, watching the drizzle of rain and waiting for it to pass. She looked over at her companion, biting her lip before deciding to speak up, [Color=F9499A]”So, any plans for the summer?”[/color], she questioned. Just that one question was the start of a fairly good conversation. They got to know each other more which was nice and worked to build some form of acquaintance other than just seeing each other in a crowd. Hana didn’t know if it would continue past them returning to camp but at least this was much more preferable to the chaos that was happening before or the confusion at Arken’s new behavior. She could only hope that when the rooms were assigned that she didn’t get unlucky. Could you imagine if she was stuck in the same room as Summer and Dakota at the same time? She would be sleeping in the hallway if something like that occurred. Separate they weren’t bad though so if it came to rooming with either, she would be alright with it. For now, she just had to wait for tomorrow and for this rain to pass so she could get some much needed sleep. [/i] [hr] She wiped her forehead with her arm, being careful not to smudge her face with dirt. Hana had awoken at the crack of dawn and decided to get [Color=F9499A][url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/558670401048412183/759167620741857291/image0.jpg]dressed[/url][/color] for the day before going on her usual morning run. It wasn’t that hard to sneak away from the group, having made sure to be more alone when placing her sleeping bag the night before just in case she had arisen early. She didn’t tend to find dreams relaxing or wanting to stay in their embrace. Nightmares always plaguing her from the past but ones she had gotten used to over time. She naturally found herself at her little hideaway from the house. A simple garden and greenhouse she had built from scratch with old parts and pieces. Nothing official or beautiful but she was proud of it nonetheless. Hana was currently doing some weeding, watching as the birds fluttered and pausing to clean off her hands as well as check the time. A familiar weight on her shoulder drew her attention away from the phone she had been about to pull out to the raven that decided to grace her with his presence. [Color=F9499A]”Well, hello there my pretty bird.”[/color], she said in a soft loving tone while stroking the feathers about his neck. He cawed gently, making a smile light up on her features.[Color=F9499A]”I have missed you. I hope you have been well. Let’s head back to the house, shall we? I’ll give you a special treat once we arrive.”[/color], she stated as she stood, making her way towards the house. Strath took off, following close behind her and watching over her from above as she took the trek back. By now, she was sure the others had been awoken and had already started eating. Hana was known to get lost in her tending and it was hardly the first time. Sister Lark knew not to worry about her and would have found a way to reach her if needed. It would be a moving day anyway if she had to guess or at least she hoped so. It had taken a bit longer than normal, taking a slow relaxed pace and watching the house come into view. She smiled at Kate on the front porch with a small wave, watching the raven land on the railing. [Color=F9499A]”I’ll be right back Strath. Be good for Kate and don’t cause trouble.”[/color], she ordered which got her a loud caw as if stating the insult of having to be told to do so. It was as if he was saying ‘when am I not’ which made her laugh happily as she entered inside, stopping only a moment to look at the assignments on the board. It was a relief to see Cass’s name on the board with her own, a familiar face she saw everyday and knew well. Kate she didn’t know as well but at least now they would get the chance. She made her way to the kitchen, snagging some pancakes and dousing them in syrup before opening the pantry. Hana pulled out her stash of unsalted peanuts, taking out a handful and sealing it back up before placing it back in its rightful place. She grabbed her plate and headed back towards the front porch, having a seat on the railing so she could give Kate some space. She placed her plate on her lap and uncurled her hand to place the peanuts beside her. [Color=F9499A]”Here’s what I promised.”[/color], giving him a pet before working into digging into her own meal. It was at least a peaceful morning so far and always a good day when Strath came for a visit. She could always work on switching rooms and her things once breakfast was over.
