Arcturus got into an easy rhythm as he kept the stones moving. The Faunus began making clicking noises with his mouth. He started showing off a little, ducking to let a stone swing past his ear, and using his legs and feet to push their strings as much as his hands and arms. When he felt it was enough, Arcturus made his way off the platform and took the blindfold off. He noticed the two freshmen looking at him a bit oddly.

"Train yourself properly, and you can use your ears to echolocate. One of CRES' members, Sahara Zerda, showed us how last year. That's what the noises were about, making sound to "see" with. Now, it's your turn on the stones. Time's a-wasting, so hop to it.", he explained. A human brunette with a Dust whip coiled on her hip walked over and hugged him. She seemed a bit shaken, but relaxed as he returned the embrace.

"Thanks, Arc. My nerves are shot to hell. I can't believe I almost...", she said, trailing off.

"I know, Rowan. The others probably aren't feeling so hot either. Why don't you go tell everyone to take some time off and walk the town together? Maybe eat something at the Byrd House and crash at one of our places for a bit?", Arcturus told her.

"What about you? Don't you want to spend time with your partner and girlfriend?", Rowan replied.

"Of course I do. You can stay and help me watch the freshies over here till they're done. Besides, somebody has to stay here till the repairmen show up, and it might as well be me since I didn't make sure Aiden's team knew where he was like I should've. I promise we'll have some couple-time soon, deal?", Arcturus proposed. Rowan nodded and left to relay the message. The others began filing out, and Rowan returned to her boyfriend, who had sat down on the floor, and curled up sideways on his lap and nuzzled his neck a bit while he wrapped his arms around her and continued to surpervise the freshmen as they worked in the hanging stones.
