Zhu-li smiled thinly at Asper's comment. "No, i don't want to hurt anyone. Not anymore..." she trailed off at the end, recalling all the innocent lives she'd been forced to take all those years ago.

Asper was one of her closest friends. She always felt a strange sense of security around him, despite his menacing demeanour to everyone else. She trusted him enough to show him her true side, the painful past which she tried so hard to hide from everyone else.

Knowing that she'd have someone who truly understood her pain to share with made her relax. She glanced over to Dawn and Kinaver. Maybe someday she could open up to them too? She didn't know how they would react, would they be as accepting as Asper?

She snapped back to reality and noticed she had drifted awkwardly close to him during her flashback. Blushing slightly, she took a small step back. "Promise me something Asper. Promise me you won't lose yourself later, you won't hurt anyone just for revenge."

Dawn glared at her struggling teammate with an acid glare. A million rebukes coursed through her mind and her jaw clenched and unclenched repeatedly as if a torrent of abuse would burst out at any moment. In the end, she stood up and took a deep breath.

"I need...to use...the bathroom..." she stuttered with obvious self restraint through gritted teeth. And promptly left the cafeteria.

A few seconds later, a deafening scream of fury echoed from outside the room, followed by an equally loud BOOM. Several students looked up from their meals in surprise, gaping at a trail of smoke coming from a crater outside in the courtyard.

Having vented her semblance, Dawn reentered the room and returned to sit opposite Kinaver, her attitude less stressed and almost cheerful now. "Apology accepted." she reached over to grab a blackened....thing....off his plate and chomped down.

"Hmmgh.... tastes like crap, but it's good crap."
