A light breeze blew strains of dark hair across her face as some of the words in her book became obscure. A gentle sigh came from Corrina's lips as her slender finger tucked the tendrils behind her ear. Her eyes glanced up between the leaves of the maple tree. The sun still felt a little to bright for how long she was captured. Selene had promised to show her how to use her powers. It was far from the truth as the woman used her instead.
The world had passed on as she used her powers to see into the future to help the woman gain more power. It was a blessing when Angie was brought into the same room. She had someone to talk to which was a great change. She welcomed it as she learned about the outside world. It was good to have a friend. It was even more surprising that she was rescued when the group came for Angie.
It was strange to be out of the room as she was carried away as she was a bit weak. It has been a long time since she got any sort of lengthy exercise. She was checked over and sent back to the United States. Angie had explained about school and how it would be beneficial for her to learn more about powers and that she would be safe to practice them.
On the trip back, she had gotten to know Ryuusei. He was an interesting character. She enjoyed swapping a few stories with him. She smiled as he had a nice way of speaking. It would seem as if he wasn't from around this planet. There were a lot of questions that she had but it never seemed to be the time. It was nice to have a friend around the mansion.
She curled her knees up to her chin. She put her book to the side as she enjoyed being out in nature. She sighed as she heard the other students in the background. It had been been a nice change from being on her own for so many years.

He'd seen Corrina reading under a tree, but not wanting to spook her, waited until she had put her book down before approaching. "Nice day, ain't it?"
He sat down next to her and looked over at the book she was reading, but couldn't see the title. "So, what're we readin' today?"

Corrina's hazel eyes looked over to where he sat down next to her. It was strange to have people around her all the time. She had gotten used to the dark and quiet. It was great as her powers didn't manifest when it was just her. She never truly learned to control the future sight as Selene had promised.
"It is prefect weather, than again anything is better than where I came from."
She looked down at the book as he pointed it out. She twisted it to see the spine. She enjoyed more of the classics. She was often told that she was an old soul which she was fine with. "The Odessy. I enjoy older litature like that."

He shuttered. "Yeah, even being in the path of an F-5 would be better than that...and we got someone here who ould whip one up if you wanted." And thumbed in the direction of the mansion; he could do some things with winds...but that was a 'bit' above his skill level.
"Isnt that book about the Trojans losing it it all because they bet on the wrong horse?"

Corrina nodded as she leaned against the tree as she chuckled. She enjoyed the comments like that. It made her smile and laugh which has been something that she's missed in her life. She smiled at him, "Oh yes a tornado sounds perfect for today. Do you think we will make it over the rainbow?"
She chuckled as she replied, "Close, though it is about one man's journey home from the war and his adventures. I enjoy the mythology to it."

He got a good laugh at both of her comments. "As long as I get my pizza...I don't care if it hits...speakin' of, I'm plannin' to go into town for a slice, care to join me?"
"It's all Greek to me."
...That was a lame joke, but he didn't care.
He did note that she like the 'Mythological' elements of the book...and couldn't help saying. "I bet something the book WONT tell ya, is that trying to blind the Cyclops is worthless; they got shitty depth perception so they developed strong senses of smell and hearing. If you're going through the trouble of blinding it...just take the head and be done with it."

She looked over at him as she smiled. The off brand sense of humor from Ryuusei was something that she enjoyed. It drew her to him after being hidden away for so long. She shrugged as she glanced his way. "I suppose I can eat. Though fair warning, I don't have any cash so would have to ask the professor or someone."
She looked back up through the tree for a moment. She was sadden that she lost track of her family. At this point, she didn't think they would want anything to do with her. She shrugged as she turned her attention back to the boy.
A giggle left her throat as she doubled over. She wasn't sure what about the joke which tickled her funny bone. It was perfect with what she was reading. As she settled down, there was a question she needed to answer. "How do you know about cyclops?"

He waved away her mention of a lack of money. "No need, it's on me."
It was nice to see her laugh...but he wasn't expecting her to find what he said absolutely hilarious. "Thank you! I do two shows a night on weekends."
As for how he knew so much about cyclops. "Oh, I've dealt with one once or twice (a week)."

The tightness in her chest instantly disappeared as she didn't have to beg money off of someone. Her smile brighten as she stood up from her spot under the tree. She smiled as she brushed the flecks of dirt from her capris as the book was tucked under her arm.
"Well pizza it is then. Do you know of a place in town? I don't have much a chance to explore the town outside of random trips."
She could not help but laugh even more. It could be the lack of contact though he had a strange way of tickling her funny bone. "Well as long as I get front row seats, I will be there. Just don't let Scott hear your plan of taking him down. He doesn't seem to have a great sense of humor."
She tilted her head in the direction of the manner. "Let me drop off my book and then we can head out. Sound good?"

"Yup! A Pizza Hut." It wasn't fancy or anything...but it was one of the RARE few that still allowed 'dine-in'...So it was kind of special. Hell, with aggressive enough marketing, the place could be a gold mine! There was the novelty of being able to eat inside one, but the real reason would be the food tasting better.
"I'll do you one better and give you a VIP Pass...and that'd be ALL-access, eheheh."
...THAT was probably cringe as fuck...
