The midday left little for the girl to do short of hang out with Lucas, her dorm room was now spic and span spotless and her laundry had been folded and put away. Even Damion had gotten a full brush out. As such she decided that maybe he'd want to take a walk with her. Her dark maroon skirt fluttered with each step and the white button up she wore was crisply pressed. Her sandals thudded lightly upon the tiled floor as she made her way to his room. A smile on her face.

The day was comfortably warm, and it certainly was not the kind of day you'd spend inside for it's entirety. that would be a waste of a great day, and who knew how much longer days like this would last anyways. Her feline companion sat upon her shoulder in his housecat form, trying to get used to the lack of bulk it provided. At least this way he didn't have to walk. That was a plus.

Upon reaching the correct door she lifted one hand and knocked twice. Why didn't she just port in? Well normally she would, but she was in the mood to walk, not teleport. Silly. She turned her back to the door and waited, smiling and bouncing on the balls of her feet a bit. She was so very excited to see him, but then, she always was.

Come at Me, Bro!
Stella had been lying on her bed reading, her legs crossed behind her as she flicked over the pages in turn. It was in preparation for survival class, something Stella couldn't imagine she would be very good at. Stella had had a case of Princess Peach syndrome and she desperately wanted to find a cure. Her copy of How to Defend Yourself in 15 easy steps had been well thumbed by now, and a little crumbled. The cause of that was quickly discovered when at the knock on the door, Stella quickly stuffed the book under the covers. It was secret, and while Lucas was still not speaking to her, she didn't want him to see and think she was mental or anything.

Then again, would Lucas knock? Unlikely, he came and went as he wanted, as he should since it was his room too. Unless he'd forgotten his keys... Amber, maybe? Or, and Stella fought back a shiver, Ayeka...

Swinging her legs off the bed, Stella brushed down her blue dress and pulled the door open. It was none of her guesses! "Hi Zxaine," the star girl said cheerfully, pulling the door open wide. "Lucas isn't here right now, but please, come in!" Moving back so the other girl could comply with the invitation, Stella would wait until the girl accepted and close the door behind her. "You're welcome to wait, we have, ah, juice and water?" Stella sunk back onto her own bed after dragging out a chair for the other girl to sit on. Ankles crossed demurely, she curled a lock of lily white hair around her finger and smiled. "So, how are you finding classes?" she asked after a moment, not wanting to just pick up her book. That would be rude.

She had been waiting patiently, humming a little tune as Damion licked his paws from his perch on her shoulder. She heard the door start to open and turned, a bright smile on her face. As she came face to face with Stella she looked a bit confused.

"Hi Zxaine,"

"Oh, hello Stella. I wasn't expecting you to be here..." she looked genuinely perplexed but shoved it aside as the other girl continued.

"Lucas isn't here right now, but please, come in!"

"Oh, thank you." The door was pulled open wide and she shifted her weight nervously before walking in at the offered entry. Glancing around it appeared that Stella had moved back in, it explained Lucas' mood considerably. She smiled politely at the offered chair and sat, sliding a stray bit of hair behind her ear. This was going to get incredibly awkward.

"So, how are you finding classes?"

"Difficult, but that's to be expected with the type of teachers we have. How about you?" She didn't want to come across as rude, but she wasn't sure what to make of this, and as she glanced around the room questions were clear on her face.
"So, you got put back in here with Lucas huh?" Her voice lacked acusation or malice, but it was obvious she was surprised at it.

This wasn't awkward at all.

"Difficult, but that's to be expected with the type of teachers we have. How about you?"

Stella nodded, wincing in sympathy. "About the same," she admitted. "Honestly, I find most Ms Kudo and Professor Stein sort of intimidating." By which she meant wholey and utterly terrifying in every single way. Watching Zxaine curiously, Stella raised her eyebrows. Why did she look so awkward and uncomfortable? Clearly she had been in Lucas's room before, so that wasn't it... Was it her being here? But surely Zxaine had known Lucas had shared a room with Stella for a year without any funny buisness happening?

"So, you got put back in here with Lucas huh?"

Everyone seemed to forget that it had been her room first. That thought was a little uncharitable, and she chased it away quickly, but her fight with roommate had left her feeling angry and confused and sad about that blue haired boy. "Miss Ada informed me after the assembly," Stella explained, "I'm glad. It's like I was never gone, now." She looked around to where she had unpacked all her things and smiled fondly.

"About the same, Honestly, I find most Ms Kudo and Professor Stein sort of intimidating."

She nodded her head, just the thought of Mr Stein made her skin crawl. She glanced out the window before becoming acutely aware that Stella was watching her, her eyes glanced back to the other girl and she tipped her head slightly. Zxaine couldn't figure out why Stella didn't seem the least bit put out with her, it made no sense and her finger ran through Damion's fur absently as she thought about it.

"Miss Ada informed me after the assembly, I'm glad. It's like I was never gone, now."

She froze. Solid. Eyes wide. What did she just say? Like she was never gone? Damion looked up at his mistress, mewling to try and catch her attention. She didn't move for a few moments, emotions flashing through her eyes too fast to place. Fear, hurt, anger, confusion, rage.

"Is that.... so." she finally said, slowly. "Don't you think it's a bit ... unfair... seeing as how things ended last year? After all that hurt?" She continued, her intonation very careful. She didn't like where this was going and she almost wished she hadn't come here at all.... this was not something she needed. Still. Best to clear the air, right?

"Mistress?"

"You do realize that he's mine now, don't you?" Her tone was guarded and quiet, eyes calculating possible answers as she looked down at Damion then back to Stella though she didn't come off as angry, just careful. The small feline twitched his ears. This could get foul quickly, where was that boy?

"Is that.... so. Don't you think it's a bit ... unfair... seeing as how things ended last year? After all that hurt?"

And there it was again! If it was to be believed, Lucas had been in some kind of agony after she left, which still made no sense! Why would being apart be that traumatic? Stella's mouth twitched, or, to be more exact, a muscle to the right corner, and her eyes flickered for a moment as she tried to think what on earth could have hurt Lucas that badly, that he had been so short and upset, and that Zxaine would look so shocked. He had other friends to see as well as her, though they had been used to spending most of their spare time together...

Her eyes flicked towards Lucas's bed again and Stella shook her head and saught out her necklace. "No, I don't," she said, because she didn't think it was unfair at all. She thought the way Lucas had talked to her had been unfair, and the way Zxaine was looking at her like she was the enemy was unfair, but she didn't think moving back into her own room was unfair at all and she wished someone would tell her why everyone else thought so.

"You do realize that he's mine now, don't you?"

How dare she! The hostility bubbled up before Stella could really process it, her eyes darkening to midnight blue. But she checked herself. Her own reaction was so out of bonds with what the sitation called for! Within a moment, the anger seemed to drain away as she found herself explaining to herself why it had no place there. It was most likely in reaction to hearing someone call another person 'mine'. People were not property, but it was no need to be so upset.

Fantastic. She had just been thinking about people having inappropriate reactions to little things. Now it was happening to her too!

"I think it's great you two are dating," Stella said honestly. "Lucas is one of my best friends, I'm thrilled he's found somebody."

"No, I don't,"

Sheer, utter disbelief plastered itself across her features, even the feline in her lap looked shocked. Surely she jests, she could not be so callous. Even Zxaine was not so cold as to clearly force her company on someone she'd betrayed so severely. Clearly what everyone thought Stella was like was an elaborate ploy, Zxaine now saw right through it. This girl was just as devious as Zxaine was thought to be.

At the girl's next comment she got the reaction she was expecting. She saw the deepening of the girl's eyes, the hostility that boiled there. Her own gaze became focused and her whole personality turned to ice. If that girl thought she would back down after all she went through, after being there and having to see the devastation she left behind. She was sorely mistaken.

"I think it's great you two are dating, Lucas is one of my best friends, I'm thrilled he's found somebody."

Her normally balanced mix of amber and ivy eyes seemed to turn to molten gold. This girl thought she was stupid! Her gaze turned hard and and she sighed. It was time to take off the kid gloves that everyone treated this girl with.

"Best.... friends? Right. Listen. It's great you're back. I looked for weeks after you left for Lucas, if only to make him happy. And clearly others here missed you. But let me make this perfectly clear. If you hurt him again. If I have to see that destroyed look in his eyes again because of you.... I will make you pay." her lips pulled tight and she got up shortly. "Other people may buy into this 'I'm innocent. I have no idea what you're all talking about' thing. But I don't."

"Mistress? Are we leaving?" Damion purred, assuming his true form and fluffing out his thick fur.

"Yes. We're leaving. We'll seek out Lucas on our own, I have a few ideas where he might be." She looked to Stella, eyes softening a touch. "I say what I say out of my affection for Lucas. You have absolutely no idea what he was like when you vanished, how he had to find out. That he can tolerate being in here with you.... astounds me. He's truly more patient and kind then I can possibly imagine being." She shook her head and placed her fingers on the doorknob. Pausing a moment, contemplating some sort of appology, but really. Was she sorry. Damion looked over at Stella, his ice eyes just as confused as Zxaine's had been. How on earth could she act as if nothing had happened? "Come on Damion. I believe we've worn out our welcome." With that she opened the door and stepped out.

"If I have to see that destroyed look in his eyes again because of you.... I will make you pay. Other people may buy into this 'I'm innocent. I have no idea what you're all talking about' thing. But I don't."

But she didn't know what Zxaine was talking about! Stella's eyes had grown wide in genuine amazement. Lucas had been destroyed? Well that would explain why he had been so angry with her, if he had been honestly worried, but it still didn't make sense... It wasn't as if he'd been in love with her, she had proof to the contrary sitting, or well, standing opposite her. But the blatantly obvious threat made her eyes narrow with concern. That, she did not appreciate. She was trying to be friendly, because this girl clearly meant a lot to Lucas, but having someone threaten her was... it was very unpleasant. "No need for that," she said instead, hesitantly. "I'd never hurt him intentionally." That was heartfelt, even Zxaine would have been able to tell that.

"Yes. We're leaving. We'll seek out Lucas on our own, I have a few ideas where he might be."

"You don't need to leave," the star girl said earnestly, also standing up. "Really, I haven't, I mean, I didn't want to offend you..."

"I say what I say out of my affection for Lucas. You have absolutely no idea what he was like when you vanished, how he had to find out. That he can tolerate being in here with you.... astounds me. He's truly more patient and kind then I can possibly imagine being."

That last bit did not surprise Stella in the least. Lucas was kinder and more patient then anyone... well, he always had been. So how had Stella managed to push him past that? "It was urgent," she tried to explain, thinking back to 7 months ago. "But I left word, of course I did!" She had left a message, she was sure she had. Maybe she hadn't told him face to face but she would never have just vanished without word, not unless something horrible had happened. "You really don't have to leave, I mean, I can go. I was just reading, I don't mind."

Maybe that would be best, actually. Zxaine had said a few things that were not fitting together properly. Lucas shouldn't have been devastated, or destroyed, and she would have thought the other girl was just being protective or over dramatic if the green eyed boy hadn't been so strange when he'd seen Stella. But why did everyone have a bee in their bonnet over her going on holiday?

"You really don't have to leave, I mean, I can go. I was just reading, I don't mind."

She paused out side the door and glanced back in, shaking her head slowly. She wouldn't run Stella out of her own room, she'd said what she felt needed to be said about the situation. Now she needed to be out of that room. Knowing that Stella lived there would only trouble her if she stayed.

"No no. It's your room." She responded, all of the coldness of her personality vanishing. "I wouldn't feel right making you leave." With that she turned and pulled the door shut behind her, walking towards the stairs.
