Victoria, having nothing to do, simply took a walk outside and sat down on the floor, brewing another cup of coffee as she pulls a cigarette from her pocket.

"Yeah... thank you... really." Palaria said, looking seriously downSena took her seat next to Palaria again and took a sip herself. “Nothing like a nice drink after working up a sweat.” she said.
"Yeah... thank you... really." Palaria said, looking seriously down
"I'm glad you feel that way..." Palaria said, finishing her water "How are you doing with your magic and whatnot?"“Don’t mention it. I’m really happy do be able to do something like this for you. Even if it isn’t all that much.” She said trying to keep the mood up.

“My magic? I’d say it’s coming along pretty well. Of course, there’s always room to improve but I haven’t hit any major roadblocks.” She said thinking back to the ideas she had come up with earlier for training."I'm glad you feel that way..." Palaria said, finishing her water "How are you doing with your magic and whatnot?"
"What are your issues right now?" Palaria asked“My magic? I’d say it’s coming along pretty well. Of course, there’s always room to improve but I haven’t hit any major roadblocks.” She said thinking back to the ideas she had come up with earlier for training.
"What are your issues right now?" Palaria asked
"Gravity magic is challenging, if you want a version of it that is easier to use, but is less effective, id recommend Magnetism. Get it to a High enough level and you'll easily throw individuals around, I'm still getting there though." Palaria said“Biggest one is my gravity magic. I can use it on myself perfectly but I still haven’t gotten the hang of using it on others as well,” she said, “Only other thing I can think of is my teleportation. The range is a bit short but I only developed that skill recently so I think training with it a bit more will help there.”

"As for Teleportation, I'd keep it short-ranged, because long-range can disorient you badly."
"If you really want to specifically do Gravity magic though, start with creating gravitational poles, from there you can "Slingshot" individuals and objects, and slowly work those gravitational poles to be on individuals and objects in order to throw them around, since it gets more tricky as you do it on objects." Palaria advisedSena listened intently and nodded. Any advice to improve herself was welcome to her, “Thank you. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.”

"All right... thank you, again, anything else you want to know?" Palaria asked“I’ll give that a try when I have more time to train.” She said, already thinking about different exercises she could do with that idea.
"All right... thank you, again, anything else you want to know?" Palaria asked
"All right..." Palaria said, putting a hand on Sena's shoulder before getting up and shaking herself hard“I think I’m all good for now. You’ve given me some things to think about.” Sena said.
She sees Victoria outside, smoking as she sits on the ground, looking up at the sky."All right, I want to have that one on one now Victoria, do you still want that?" Palaria asked
"All right..." Palaria said, putting a hand on Sena's shoulder before getting up and shaking herself hard
"Shalai, are Victoria's wounds tended to?" She called out, walking over to them
"I think so!" Shalai responded
"All right, I want to have that one on one now Victoria, do you still want that?" Palaria asked
Palaria looked back and smiledSena waved and said “See you around. Oh and remember what I said, if you need something done or even just someone to talk to you can come to me.” As she watched Palaria go.
(It isn't yet)She sees Victoria outside, smoking as she sits on the ground, looking up at the sky.
(Idk if it's night time)
"Hm?"Palaria looked back and smiled
(It isn't yet)
"It's less then safe to be out here you know..." Palaria murmured as Shalai went back inside to help the rest of the injuries and to make the sweet thing
"I want to talk to you one on one. I said I wanted to hours ago." Palaria said"Hm?"
Victoria had spaced out, being bothered by her own thoughts as she glanced at Palaria.
"What're you doing here now, kid?" she asked slowly before smoking to her joint as she exhales smoke.
"Uhuh... What's this about now... Kinda forgot what you told me..." she replied slowly, taking a sip of coffee before throwing it to the trash can nearby."I want to talk to you one on one. I said I wanted to hours ago." Palaria said
"Your issues up here..." Palaria said, tapping the top of Victoria's head"Uhuh... What's this about now... Kinda forgot what you told me..." she replied slowly, taking a sip of coffee before throwing it to the trash can nearby.
Victoria slowly swatted her hand as she slumped on the wall, taking another smoke."Your issues up here..." Palaria said, tapping the top of Victoria's head
"To me you're easy to read, Victoria. There's problems, and I want to help with them." Palaria responded, sitting next to herVictoria slowly swatted her hand as she slumped on the wall, taking another smoke.
"Issues... There's no such thing as issues... in me..."
"I barely met you for hours... What's in it for you to help? It's not like I need any...""To me you're easy to read, Victoria. There's problems, and I want to help with them." Palaria responded, sitting next to her
"You're my teammate first and foremost, I want to have a good relationship with everyone so we work together better and to support eachother, and if that means trying to get into this kind of thing, ill do it." Palaria responded"I barely met you for hours... What's in it for you to help? It's not like I need any..."
"We already did just that with the fight against your boss... What's there to do? You're not trying to be a therapist now, are you?""You're my teammate first and foremost, I want to have a good relationship with everyone so we work together better and to support eachother, and if that means trying to get into this kind of thing, ill do it." Palaria responded
"Llarinus is not my boss, and I'm not trying to be a therapist, I'm trying to be your friend." Palaria responded"We already did just that with the fight against your boss... What's there to do? You're not trying to be a therapist now, are you?"
Victoria's dead eyes glanced at her, before looking back at the sky, taking another smoke.
"Friend..." she repeated slowly."Llarinus is not my boss, and I'm not trying to be a therapist, I'm trying to be your friend." Palaria responded
"Why would I lie to you? Our lives are on the line, plus, I pretty much know who you are, a Lot of the people who researched magic loved to gossip." Palaria said, shaking her head, clearly disagreeing with the way they handled it"Friend..." she repeated slowly.
"That's nice way to spell liar... Don't you think?"
"If you know me then you should understand... Helping me is pointless...""Why would I lie to you? Our lives are on the line, plus, I pretty much know who you are, a Lot of the people who researched magic loved to gossip." Palaria said, shaking her head, clearly disagreeing with the way they handled it
"I know you enough to understand that it isn't. So be my friend, Victoria." Palaria said, holding out a hand for her"If you know me then you should understand... Helping me is pointless..."
She spoke without sadness or grief, as if she's telling a script with a straight face.
There was little emotion to her words.
"What good will it do if you become my friend? What's so interesting about me that you want to become my friend?"I know you enough to understand that it isn't. So be my friend, Victoria." Palaria said, holding out a hand for her
"Because you need it more then anyone else." Palaria responded "I don't care about power, or how interesting someone is. I want to help people, Victoria.""What good will it do if you become my friend? What's so interesting about me that you want to become my friend?
Why not ask Rakih? He's clearly better than using Magic. Why not ask Neron? He sure is an interesting fella...
Those people have clear goals to join, barely even made it here...
So why me? What's so special about me to be your friend?"
"I need it? That's funny..." she said, slightly chuckling."Because you need it more then anyone else."
"Help people... Maybe you should go helping those in need... Not to those who's gone too far..."Palaria responded "I don't care about power, or how interesting someone is. I want to help people, Victoria."
"That's just the thing, you aren't too far gone. I know that." Palaria responded, pulling Victoria's hands so they could face eachother "So don't give up on yourself yet.""I need it? That's funny..." she said, slightly chuckling.
"Help people... Maybe you should go helping those in need... Not to those who's gone too far..."
Victoria's face was painted blank as any emotion one could see to her are gone. Her face was as pale as they've always been, her lips dry despite the incessant drinking of coffee, her hands cold as ice, and her breath all the more chilling."That's just the thing, you aren't too far gone. I know that." Palaria responded, pulling Victoria's hands so they could face eachother "So don't give up on yourself yet."
"I know you haven't, deep down." Palaria said, an old fire not previously present burning in her eyesVictoria's face was painted blank as any emotion one could see to her are gone. Her face was as pale as they've always been, her lips dry despite the incessant drinking of coffee, her hands cold as ice, and her breath all the more chilling.
Like a corpse given life, she looks at her for short moment, then looks down.
"I've already did, kid... I've already did..."
"What's the use if I told you about it? It's not like something you can brag about... Like some person telling their tragic past just so that the others would sympathize.... What's the point if I told you about it?""I know you haven't, deep down." Palaria said, an old fire not previously present burning in her eyes
