She peers back to looking forward and sighs.

"Skipping..." was all she said. It was almost fun, enjoying this nervous girl's company. It did her some good in her own confidence and cocky pride. Her eyes slowly trail back to the other woman's face curiously.

"This is a stuffy place to be with two people talking like this...are you uncomfortable any?"

Kori brightens a bit at this. "Yes, a bit.. do you know anywhere better to talk?" Kori asked questioningly.

"How about the small clearing behind the school? It will do us both some good in getting some fresh air. Wouldn't you agree?"

She gives a soft smile to see Kori brighten up a bit. Oh well, reading books and studying didn't always have to consume her time. Unexpected things like this were something to cherish about. This girl probably needed some company above all. She shouldn't mind being the company and walking with her.

Her head tilts into a bigger smile, her eyes close to express her happiness towards the girl. It was a change in her personality, but when someone keeps poking at her cold and calm facade, she can't help but feel flattered someone would try so hard to talk normal to her. She suppossed it was almost like a challenge for anyone. But whoever breaks through, should be rewarded with kindness.

"Yeah, that sounds perfect!" Kori chirped happily, returning her smile. "I haven't spent a good amount of time outdoors in a long time."

"Alright then. Follow me if you will," she says softly and gets up from her seat. She waits momentarily for Kori to rise before she turns and walks towards the exit of the library.

"Its...been awhile since I last spent time with someone alone besides..." her mummbled voice trails off as she continues forward. Kanoe needed to get out more as well. She was well aware of that. Always crammed in her room with no company aside from her own. She must feel lonely lots of times. She understood her dark arts would make her personality fit it, but still...she would have to remember to take her lover out more often. She smiles inwardly, thinking of how motherly she was being. But it didn't matter. Even if she was so modest of herself, Kanoe needed her and she to her too.

Kori walked swiftly behind Clarice, quietly listening to her talk, enjoying the idea that someone would talk to her in this crazy place.

It took little more then minutes before they reached the backdoors of the school. As if to open a treasure, Claire took her time opening the doors and allowing sunlight to warm her skin. She walks out with few steps and holds the door for the girl behind her.

Her eyes had drifted closed, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the chilling breeze that played with her air. It felt wonderful to breath fresh air. She felt no words could be spoken at the moment as she held the door open. She didn't peer up for the sun to hit her face. Her bangs shaded her soft complection from the heat. She could feel her mood lighten some. It was pelasent to have some company.

Kori let the sunlight hit her skin, a rare occasion. She felt herself warm as she stepped outside, the breeze blew her hair slightly to the side, making it brush up against her face. She couldn't remember the last time she felt this elated. Suddenly she snapped back to reality and graciously thanked Clarice. "Thank you for holding the door." She smiled at Clarice.

"Of course," she answers gently and lets her hand slowly slide from the door as it closes with a soft click behind her. Finally she lifts her head to bask in the warmth for a short moment. She returns back to reality quickly and nods to Kori.

"This is much better then the library. Tell me, is there anything you wish to talk about? Aside from the school I mean..."

Kori thinks for a second. "I'm not really sure what to talk about, I'm not great at conversation starters." She looked slightly embarrassed, as if remembering something.

She tilts her head in curiosity to the girl's shift in her feelings. Emberrassment was there, as expected...but something esle was lingering within her.

"I know you have just met me...but if you wish to speak of what's troubling you, I will listen."

"No, its okay.. my problems are a long way from here." Kori smiles quite sincerely. "Do you know a good place to sit out here? We can't just stand around, well we could, but I just don't don't want to."

"Mmm, I don't believe there are chairs here, but the grass should provide some...form of seating you want?" she suggests and leans against the wall of the school before sliding down gently to seat herself. She looks up to Kori with curious eyes to see if she would accept the offer or just stand.

"Sounds good to me." Kori said with a smile, sliding down to the grass next to Clarice. Kori relaxes and sits peacefully, lost in thought.

"...I've been at this school for approximatly eight months today...it feels as if its been longer then that," she says, breaking the silence between them. She pulls her legs close to her chest and sighs as she props her hands and head onto them.

She just closes her eyes and thinks back on the memories she's had here.
