It was so much more comfortable in the moonlight than in the sunlight. While the sun posed no threat to her, she'd never liked its bright intensity. The moon was soft, delicate, and didn't threaten with bright light or unwanted heat. Amaya glanced up at the night sky, a gentle expression on her face. Had she not come to this school she could enjoy the night sky, bask under the stars and watch the clouds as the rolled across the heavens. But she did not have that ability. Instead she was to live out her days wondering if she'd have to battle a hungry vampire or chase a tenacious human. It was all a bother. There were perks, such as the interesting people and her improving knowledge of vampires, but all in all she felt distant from this school.

Her attention flickered back to Masaru when he began to speak. His words frustrated her. Be cautious? What was she to him, a child? If she wasn't strong enough to hold her own against a vampire then she wouldn't be in this position. Blood rushed to her cheeks and made her hot with embarrassment. Her doll-like features broke for an instant, childish frustration breaking through. What a lie. Faudi was not a spirited creature; she was a hot-headed bitch who didn't know her place. The prefects did their best to work alongside the vampires. Never did they speak badly against them unless the situation called for it. And yet vampires were allowed to show their distaste for their prefects?

Suddenly the situation with Faudi seemed more important. Amaya felt as if she was being looked down upon and that was a feeling she hated. She hadn't come all this way to put up with being looked at to be a child. She didn't work hard every day of the school-year to be treated as if she was the one who didn't know her place.

"I disagree," the blonde said bluntly. She crossed her arms and cocked her head to the right. "You say that you cannot counter her until she has done something to harm me? Do tell me if I'm wrong, Masaru-sempai, but does her hurting my pride as a prefect not count as harming me? You know very well that I work very hard to work to keep the peace between my prefects and your nobels. If I must use my energy to keep my prefects respectful then I expect to be met halfway with respect from your nobels."

She felt hot and annoyed. "Forgive my slip of the tongue," she said after a moment, amber eyes flickering out over the balcony, "but if you are so keen in keeping the peace between vampires and humans, perhaps you should start with controlling the vampires around you."

Amaya crossed the balcony to stand beside him, hands upon the railing. "I am glad that your nobels will keep their eyes out for the intruder." She turned around, leaning her lower-back against the railing and looking up at the sky. The wind caught her hair and brushed it out from her face and neck. "I guess I should be getting back," she murmured to herself, sighing.
