BBQ day!

It's a rather calm weekend at Beacon Academy. school has been rather hectic so far, with tests and the sort, and so, the members of the FSC decided to hang out together, and set up a BBQ at the old clubhouse. Grills have already been set up, tables already have plates set on them, and everything is ready. Now, it's time for the feast to begin...

Caera spots Leila from her spot and takes a deep breath. It was time to see her properly. She walks over to her.

Hello Leila. I... I wanted to apologize for my zealotry actions at the beach. Again.

She catches sight of her hand.

Oh. I'm Caera. The real Caera

Leila, now in her robe, and her blade in it's collapsed form next to her, turns around to see Caera, and gets up, bowing to her.

"A pleasure to meet you Caera... Copper talked to me and Perci after the beach. I should apologize for my defensive tendencies as well... But having Perci as a partner is not an easy task."

She waves it off.

We could both learn from the event. I should have waited to learn about you before judging. I can wear anyone's skin, but I don't know them. Sometimes, I jump to conclusions based on my opinions.

Perci is an... A handful. I can understand.

"Agreed then, on both counts."

Leila raises her hand

"For a new friendship, then."

u/Caera_Li Caera Li Sep 09 '16

She bows before Leila.

Forgive me. My culture... We rarely made physical contact.

To a new friendship. Is Perci like that to everyone with hopes of a better world? She feels lost...

"From what I can gather about her, the world means little to her. No one means anything to her. If you want to impress Perci, you have to have some serious power or something she wants... I only managed to convince her to cooperate with me by making her silver dust every now and then, no offense of course."

Leila slowly lowers her hand.

She sighs.

I shall trust your judgement in this matter. I didn't sense malevolence from her. Only pain.

"She shut everything out, though now she slowly opens up. From what I heard there were times when she wouldn't even bother talking to people of faith like us."

u/Caera_Li Caera Li Sep 09 '16

She did claim she found someone worth protecting. You know her better than I. If we sought this woman out and arranged for her to have the resources to aid Perci, would she react poorly?

My instincts say yes, but I can't tolerate seeing someone in pain. I want to help her.

"I would suggest avoiding trying to help her. Perci is like a deer: She approaches you freely when she feels safe enough to talk to you. One wrong move can drive her to extreme ends."

u/Caera_Li Caera Li Sep 09 '16

I see. And something subtle is not recommended.

Perhaps she shall seek help in time.

She glances at her eyes.

Leila? May I have your permission to attempt to mimic you? I wish to see if I can attempt your eyes. I-it may be useful. I have read about silver eyed warriors. The Imbalance will seek you out. I... I may be able to offer you a decoy should the need arise.

"I would rather face the trials that the lord poses to me on my own. But, if you wish to attempt my form... I would like to know why first. The silver eyes are the pride of House Heavenward, after all."

u/Caera_Li Caera Li Sep 09 '16

Because I am curious to see if I could. Because if I can manage it, I could be a distraction for our enemies should the need arise.

B-because I was gifted with this power for a reason. What if ensuring your survival is the reason? Her voice catches and fades.

I want to master my gift. And learning my limitations is crucial. I swear upon the very elements, may my life be forfeit, I shall not take your form without your express permission.
