What was Xin thinking? To talk about that subject in such a public place would be the end of both of their careers here. And what would his sister think of that. Glancing around her, in a paranoid nature, Eira lowered her voice as she commented back on his thinking. “I’ll tell you. But you better keep a close eye around here. You don’t know who is listening.” Glancing at the building, a teacher moved softly from one edge of the window to the other, watching her. No less, her thoughts knew that one like all the others was probably trying to red her lips. “Whatever you do, don’t let anyone in the building.... Ah! Idea.” She said, pointing her finger up. “Walk with me away from the building, will you please? Back to the building and just looking like we are walking with nothing more to do.”
Picking up her pole arm, the Crab slowly started to walk near him. “Are you coming?” The teacher had stayed in place, his/her eyes burrowing down into the back of her head. She had figured as much. Eira tilted her head backward, playing with the teacher’s head before they went on a rampage to get her expelled.
Hand on her weapon, she began her speech. “To be honest, I agree with what you say. What is the point of them keeping us as a constant war. Like I mentioned before, my mother was banished from here because she was a Taurus. To take a mother from her child...” She hiccuped for a minute, realizing how horrible it sounded to know her mother could have been banished for that reason. Eira sucked it up. “Needless to say, what happens if a woman gets preg..nant...” Another word that did not flow off her tongue easily because of what happened to her mother. Holding onto her chest, she shook her head before continuing on. “But it still stands, even though our side is more mentally savvy than the other side, we are still told that Maelstrom students are savages and it is best to keep them separated. Why would my mother risk it coming here if she was a savage? What do you think that would be for? What if there are other women like that? Hell, even men. You would think that Tempest would have taken over Maelstrom with their water supply and Maelstrom here to ‘weed them out’ so to speak. But really, does Tempest think Maelstrom is so stupid when they know what it takes to survive?” Eira stamped the ground in anger. “Tempest won’t last a day in the Tournament without putting that into consideration. That’s why I broke the social norm of this school and went towards a more physical fighting style...”
Damnit, she was talking about herself now.
