"Raven, can you keep it down? Training doesn't start for another hour.." Nai muttered, still tired from yesterday.

The night before the graduation, she didn't get any sleep since she was too excited for the upcoming ceremony. Now, she felt the full force of the exhaustion the day had placed on her. It didn't help that she was up for several hours after she had assumed the others had gone to sleep based on their breathing. The reason she hadn't slept as quickly as she usually did was because something had been bothering her. Her conduct had been unacceptable and she had wondered whether or not to apologize. Finally, she had decided to just act nicer and keep her emotions in check. It was barely enough to settle her conscience.

Now, she rolled over, realizing where she was. She silently prayed no one had heard her, although she saw several beds already empty, and quickly got out of bed. After a quick check to make sure she was ready, she went over to meet the others.

“Good morning,” she greeted Xeroux and Jove, followed by a low bow which was much more formal than yesterday. She didn’t stay much longer, eager to scout out the location, but just long enough to flash an apologetic grin at Jove before leaving the ship.

There, she saw two knights approaching, paying special attention to the one in white. Her face went completely blank for a moment before a smile appeared.

“Ah, good morning!” Nai greeted the two knights cheerfully, making a small bow as she usually did. It was a little bothersome doing it to every time she greeted someone but she was taught that it was a sign of respect and humility. Besides, it seemed like the right thing to do considering she knew one of them.
