@Aisling@NinkittyShe was free now, it seemed, but for the first time it seemed that her thoughts had strayed. Wei, her dear friend, was what Elizabeth thought of. "Wei", Elizabeth thought, "I can bear all things, yet without you they feel heavy." No other things were worth missing. The only thing that made this one worth it was a sense that Elizabeth maybe could be thrust into power, without barriers inhibiting her rise. "Wei," Elizabeth thought, "Watch me as I ascend from student to prince."
There had been moments before this one that she had made conscious decisions, but this moment was greater than those. It was when Elizabeth felt some kind of spark. She was unsure why of all moments, but Elizabeth only assumed it was because, as the Lady said school would start tomorrow, she would also start in earnest.
"Thank you, Lady Violetta," Elizabeth said, her mind half in another place. "Ayaka, you may always explore, should you wish to find something."
In regards to those around her, she held certain opinions. The Lady Violetta was a strong individual, if not seeming particularly inspired or inspiring, but she was the greatest other person in this room. Ayaka was not interesting, and of no concern of Elizabeth, and she had no reason at this time to concern herself with her. Of Mystique, the same could be said.
"I will look around, if I may," Elizabeth said. "We might find each other, should you wish to do the same."
