Alice nubmly nodded in response to Merel's question, allowing Darian to be taken away from her. It wasn't until Helena had asked her about her time at Forge. The question gave her something else to think about and forced her mind to readjust. "My time at Forge...was hard..." Alice trailed off as she thought back. "The teachers were always tough and demanding. They pushed us to be the best and refused to take anything less."

Alice paused again as she thought back to how each of the teachers had helped her develop after she had joined the school. "I didn't need help with how to fight, but they taught me other things. They helped me learn to deal with the normal world. Sergant Dartmouth helped me out with physical training to get as strong as I am now." While she spoke, Alice's mind cleared up further and allowed her to calm down.

"Forge focuses on real combat, not on dueling or tournaments," she explained, looking back on how she had been instructed. "Thats why the instructors let the students fight like they do. Professor Quince feels like alot of the other schools out there don't properly train their students to fight in real world conditions, so she doesn't let the other instructors step in until they have to like earlier."

Darian followed Merel away, down the random hallway that she was dragging him down. Finally she stopped and posed him a wuestion that he wasn't too eager to answer. "It's...complicated," he attempted at first, hoping she would take that answer. After a few seconds of staring from the girl he sighed and crossed his arms, leaning against a locker. "I was trying to....meet up with some family to discuss...family stuff," Darain explained vagely, not wanting to try and deal with all the explanations about the White Fang and his connection to them. "Your dad tippped off the police and they ended up screwing up my own planning. Beyond that he ended up putting Alice and Egil in danger. So, yeah, right now...not my favorite person."
