A day later back in the infirmary Nyx just sat there hugging his knees to his chest. He was livid beyond livid that she ran off on her own again. He didn't know what to do sure they completed their assignments but their team work sucked and he was getting sick of it. Kayden was laid up in bed thanks to being beaten up by his own soul resonance. Nyx suddenly caught a couple coins flung his way snatching them out of the air. "Some change for your thoughts boy?" Asked Stein appearing.
He sat down and Nyx just shoved the coins into his pocket before saying, "I think I might just drop out..." "But why you're a straight A student in fact you're even on the honoroll this year so why back out now." Asked Stein. "Because... I have a partner who acts like she cares but she doesn't listen or take anything I say into consideration... I mean I don't care if she'd a hybrid or about what she is it's the fact she's obnoxious, impulsive, and above all she nearly got us killed back there... My strategy wasn't perfect but because of her look at Kayden he won't be able to recover for weeks now thanks to her..." Nyx said softly. "There's an old saying that goes by you reap what you sow Nyx... Do you remember when you were first brought to this academy after nearly ten years of being away from society becuase you were a captive..." Stein asked.
"Yeah... I wasn't exactly thrilled in fact everything was so overwhelming and intimidating and scary I just isolated myself..." Nyx said. "See that's how you handle things but you need to look at things from her point of view. She's young just as you are her father is dead and her mother is who knows where... I believe she acts the way she does to cover up the pain of not having anyone to call a family. If you up and just leave her behind you'll regret it that much I can say Nyx. You're all she has and give in due time she should change you just need to give her that chance is all..." Stein said.
Nyx just looked at him a little shocked and he hadn't realized that much until just now. Sighing he said, "You're right... maybe I'm just the stupid one... I'm far too stiff and keep my feelings at bay... OK I won't drop out... You win this round professor." "Good to hear now then as for he class you'll be missing I prepped some extra work for you two for a week ahead. Just come back when things calm down okay." Stein said leaving the books and papers by Nyx before standing up.Going to the door Stein said, "Oh by the way Kayden should be up and moving a lot quicker thanks to me. So you don't need to worry about him being down for the month." Stein then left and Nyx flopped back onto the bed with a sigh.
