After leaving the training grounds, Selene made her way to the nearest bathroom.. Which, for some strange reason, happened to be in the girl's dormitory. It was very inconvenient, but there was nothing to be done. She knew she was late for her next class, but she needed some time.. She just needed time to calm down. Tears dripped down her cheeks, which she roughly wiped away as she walked down the hallway until she reached a bathroom. Her eyes remained downcast as she walked inside, though she needn't have bothered. There was no one else here. Well, good. She didn't want to be seen like this anyway. She made her way to the sinks, hands gripping the edge of this sink to lean against it. Her nose was already growing too stuffy to easily breathe from, forcing her to breath through her mouth. She sniffled quite hard despite the uncomfortable pressure it created just behind her eyes and in her nose.
With no clock, she wasn't sure how much time she spent there. Eventually the tears slowed to a stop, leaving her only sniffing heavily. She turned away to get a paper towel from the dispenser, for once glad that the school had yet to upgrade to the air driers. Holding it to her nose, she blew hard. It did little to relieve her nose's stuffiness, but it was something. She folded it before blowing again onto another clean part. She would do this a few more times, throwing out the paper towel to replace it with another when she couldn't fold it over any more. It almost didn't feel like that had helped at all. After throwing the thin paper away, she faced back to the mirror. Her vision was still rather blurry, but she could see enough.
She looked pretty terrible, in her opinion. Her eyes had that telltale red look that came from crying and rubbing them. Her nose looked shiny. Her face felt far too warm, clearly flushed in her reflection. The beginnings of a headache was starting up behind her eyes, a throbbing pain that came and went with the beat of her heart. She was going to need a painkiller or something.. Those usually helped things like this. She took off her glasses, placing them down to her right. A heavy sigh slipped from her as she leaned over the sink, closing her eyes for a few moments. It felt like her life was just slipping beyond her control this year. She was trying.. She really was, but it was so hard, especially after.. No. She wouldn't think of that. She wanted to forget it ever happened. A fresh wave of tears stained her cheeks, taking still more time to abate and leaving further traces.
When this most recent fit was over, she turned on the water. Fiddling with the taps to make it warm, but not hot.. Cold water, she thought, would just aggravate her headache more. It felt like she might be starting up a fever.. The water still felt chilly when she splashed her face with it. Most of the water fell back into the sink. A few droplets hit the counter instead. It didn't feel like it did much to help.. But she would cup her hands under the faucet and bring the water to her face a few more times. Maybe she felt a tiny bit better. As she reached for her glasses, she heard the bell ringing again. Her stomach dropped at the realization that she had completely missed her second class.. It really was becoming a pattern, established since the first week of school. She missed her glasses slightly, hearing them clatter to the floor.. A floor that was dark enough that she could see no telltale blurry shape no matter how hard she squinted. She frowned, but knelt and reached out with one hand to carefully feel along the ground. Touch was her best option for finding them..

While Selene was feeling around for her now missing glasses, someone entered the bathroom. She didn't notice this new arrival, too much of her attention focused inward and her search for her glasses. Feeling around, what she didn't notice was that they had bounced closer to the wall under the sink than she had thought. She expected to find them in the more open area. It was only when the girl came to crouch by her that she became aware of her. She jumped, flinching away from her hand with a quiet yelp as she looked up with an alarmed expression. She couldn't make out much in the way of detail of this other girl's features. Her face seemed cast in shadow. Dark eyes and dark hair on paler skin. She barely took this in, or the quiet words spoken, as she scrambled back away. Her mind immediately sprang to the worst thoughts. Was this someone dangerous? Was it her..? No, no. That woman was somewhere else, she knew this.. But still, her heart had picked up to a quicker pace, beating nervously against her rib cage like a trapped bird. The sinks were behind her, slightly to one side. She was almost under one of them. She could almost feel the coolness against her shoulder through her shirt. It was probably her imagination. Funny the things one notices at the strangest times..

Selene huddled away from this other girl, her breath coming quickly. She was not hyperventilating.. Not quite. Fear showed in her wide, grey eyes. Her gaze was fixed on this blurry figure, scared to look away. It was strange.. She felt almost numb, like she wasn't even quite there. It just seemed distant. She could feel how her heart hammered in her chest, the slight tremble running through her slender frame, but it did not feel like it mattered. She was just so tired.. She should move. Just sitting here was foolish, but she could not quite find it in herself to get up or attempt to flee. She was frozen in place by fear, shock, and the exhaustion that crept over her body now that she was sitting down. She just could not move.
The other girl's voice sounded just as distant as she felt, at least at first. A soothing tone, like what one might use with a skittish animal. She blinked slowly, simply continuing to stare. It took her a little bit to realize what was being said. With that realization came a sudden awareness of just how pathetic she was being. Here she was, cowering away from what seemed to be just another student.. If she was some kind of monster, then this girl would have attacked her already, right? It was an overreaction, and one she silently chided herself for. Finally, she lowered her gaze, looking off to one side as her cheeks burned with shame. She could already feel more tears beginning to well up, even as she tried to blink them away. She had cried enough for one day.. Briefly, she considered speaking. Her lips even hesitantly parted, for just a moment.. But she could not think of anything to say, nor was she sure her voice would even work if she did.

Although Selene tried not to let herself cry again, blinking quickly, she just couldn't seem to force the tears away. Her nose was beginning to feel kind of stuffy, causing her to sniffle quietly. Salty drops would slowly start to roll down her cheeks despite her efforts to keep them back, leaving damp trails. Pathetic. Completely and utterly pathetic, yet there was no helping it. She hated this. She completely loathed how she was. How she couldn't help being.. It was amazing how quickly she slipped into this after realizing the other girl was not about to hurt her. She silently scolded herself with more harshness than any other may have. After all, there was no one who was harder on herself than she was. Here she was, after all her resolutions, failing them barely hours later. She loosely hugged her knees to her chest with her left arm, making no move to leave the corner in which she found herself.
It was probably a good thing that the other girl, Arneth, didn't approach her. It wasn't so much that she was dangerous. Selene was not strong enough for that.. But she probably couldn't handle a person being too close right now. Tiny shudders ran through her thin frame. She heard the introduction, though it was not to be acknowledged. Silence was all that extended between them for several moments, broken only by quite breaths and sniffles. She would answer, at last, the second question. A long pause served the prelude her own weak voice. "M-my g-gl-gl-glasses.." She mumbled quietly with some effort, rubbing at her eyes with the back of her right hand. She sniffed again, harder than before, an an effort to clear her nose. She knew she really should blow it, but she had nothing to use for that.

Even in her miserable state, Selene noticed the other girl get up and walk off. She didn't know where she was going.. Maybe she was just going to leave her alone. Her fingers curled around her right sleeve, pulling it up so that she could rub her eyes with it as she snuffled quietly. Her breathing had long grown into unsteady huffs and shuddering inhales. For those precious seconds, she truly thought she would be left alone, as she almost felt she should be. It wasn't just that feeling that she absolutely should not be allowed to What a sorry sight she must be, huddling away in a corner and sobbing like this. She was well aware of that, which was only added to the growing list of what she considered her failings.
Then, to her surprise, Arneth came back and offered her a bundle of toilet paper. She hesitated, but slowly reached to take them. She cringed as her hand brushed against the other girl's, quickly withdrawing it. She rubbed at her eyes with them for a moment, trying to dry up the steady, slow leak of her tears. She then held it to her nose, took a deep breath, and blew *hard*. Quite a lot of clear mucus escaped her nostrils into the toilet paper and some stayed under her nose. She would blow her nose a couple more times, folding the paper over and wiping her nose as she did. Her nose still felt stuffy even after she didn't think she could use it anymore.
Upon hearing Arneth's question, Selene only shook her head. She did not want to talk about it at all, let alone to a stranger.. She didn't really want to talk at all. She lifted her head when the other student asked her about her glasses, surprise flickering across her face before she nodded and reached for them. Who else's could they possibly be? Upon getting them back and placing them on her nose, she realized that the lenses had some smearing across them that made everything look a bit funny, but other than that, she could see now. She lifted it to rub at her eyes again before glancing up at this other girl. "Th-thank you..." She really was being much too quiet. Would it kill her to speak up a little??

Selene was surprised to hear an apology uttered for her smudged glasses. She straightened them, pushing them up back up her nose to sit more securely, then she just shook her head. She could see well enough that it worked. There was a slight jerk back when Arneth offered her hand. The black haired girl looked from her hand, up to the other girl's face, then back to the offered hand. After a moment, she slowly reached with her free hand "Uh.. I.. I d-don't.." She hesitated at the suggestion of seeing the nurse for a check up. She didn't want to deal with something like that.. Besides, she doubted the nurse could help at all anyway. They never had..
She closed her eyes as she shook her head, letting herself be pulled out from under the sinks. Her legs felt a little wobbly, but not so much that she couldn't stand or walk. Once she was standing, however, she gently pulled her hand away. "It's f-fine.." She mumbled, steadying herself with a deep breath. But did she really want to be alone? Where would she go, anyway? She didn't feel up to going to class.. Returning to her dorm would be closest. No. In the end, what stuck in her mind was to go to the chapel. She needed help and she didn't think anyone in the school could, so maybe praying wouldn't be a bad idea. "Th' Ch-ch-chapel..?" She waited for a moment, then unsteadily made her way to the door. That seemed like a good place to go.. A safe place, or so she hoped. She was just going to go there..
