First Day of School
The first day of school has been stressful for Avalon. Very stressful. The only bright part of the whole day was when he found out that he was placed in the same grade as Henry, though that didn't really mean a lot. It wasn't like they had any classes together.

Avalon had been horrified when he found out that Josh and Katima wasn't going to share any classes with him, but soon enough he had to get over it and try to get along on his own. Being empathic also didn't seem to help at all, and by the end of the day, Avalon is worn out and sore from having to block himself for the majority of the hours he has been at school.

Luckily though, the day is finally done, and Avalon is standing outside where they all agreed to meet, his back against a tree as he idly itched his back. His wings are aching, and he can't wait to get them free and stretch completely, but he knows now is not the time. So, he waits, and tries to not be too troubled by his day at school. It was horrible, and his English caused him to have quite a few misunderstandings. And then there are these boys who made fun of him, calling him names that he didn't even really understand - though they are easily ignored.

He's been worried about Katima and Josh the most though, and so he watches for either of the teens to emerge from the building, his heart in his throat.

Josh blinks a few times and then smiles slightly. "Katima...that's not a lie," he says. "Humans just aren't that advanced yet."

"But for me it is! For me to play along, to act like I am learning when I am not! That is dishonest of me!"

She continues hugging him, crying on his shoulder.

"Katima...how many people do you actually think are learning or paying attention or even retaining any of that in your classes?" Josh asks, honestly confused. He ponders a moment and then lets out a thoughtful noise. "Hmm. Did you know before the class that humans thought physics worked that way?"

"No! I thought humans understood but wanted a more simple existence than the chaos of space offers. I thought perhaps this place was a place of great peace from such things." She sighs. "I just don't understand."

"Then you did learn something, didn't you?" Josh asks, blinking. "Maybe you should look at it less like a physics class and more like...information on Earth or something like that?" he suggests awkwardly. There's a pause and Josh glances at the house. That red tint comes back to his cheeks for a moment but he gets rid of it quickly and takes a deep breath. "Don't understand what?"

"This planet. Everything. Everything is difficult." She pulls back from him. "I'm making you uncomfortable as is what is going on in the house. Perhaps I should fly for a bit."

Josh blinks several times and then shakes his head. "No, Katima...you're not. And it's...not going on in the house. Henry and Ava flew off. I just sensed more than I was expecting from them," he explains. "And yeah...things are difficult but that's why you have all of us to help you and we have you."

"I'm pretty much only good for opening up emotions and fixing injuries, Josh." She smiles a little. "I trained a bit with the warlords on Okara. I found that I am an able nurse."

"Are you okay?"

Josh blinks. "I have no idea who they are," he says honestly.
"And I wouldn't say that. You certainly kicked Red Lantern butt," he says with a smile. "And fixing emotions is a very good thing."

The healer blinks. "Me? What?"

"I just adapted to the Red Lantern. My ring lets me be nearly any color temporarily in proximity. And yes. Are you okay? You're blushing much and I worry that you are uncomfortable with my presence so close to you right now."

Josh shivers slightly. "Yeah...that was kinda scary when you did that but," he smiles. "That doesn't mean you still didn't kick butt. And you beat that crazy purple girl too. You're a lot stronger than you're giving yourself credit for, Katima," he says.

"Naw, it's not you. I just picked up on what Henry and Avalon were doing to one another and that kind of thing tends to linger up here," he says, tapping his head. "It'll fade in a moment or two."

"Sapphires need their butt's kicked. Regularly. Their rings make them insane."

Katima shook her head a bit and smiled.

"Between you and me...I don't really want to know what you boys do to each other for the most part. That's private. I try to block it out."

Josh snickers a little. "Insane? I dunno about that but their rings really do feel more...intense than yours, Henry's, and Ava's. Like the Red Lantern's did actually," he shrugs.

The healer than blushes furiously. "I umm...wow...um..." he babbles a bit.

"I'm serious. Your experiences are private. Should you ever choose to include me in the room, that would be different, but what you do together or even if you do things as a trio...is sacred. I'm the odd girl here. Don't mind my presence." She smiled softly at him.

Josh's eyes go wide and his face goes bright red. Oh the thoughts that were just put in his head.

"Okay," he squeaks out.

"And if you don't mind me hugging you, I'd like that."

Josh replies just by reaching over to hug Katima tightly. He's careful not to hurt her of course.

"Hugging is good."

She hugged him tightly.

"Thank you. Thank you."

Josh smiles as he starts to stop blushing. "You don't need to thank me."

"Yes, I do. You've helped me so much, Josh. I would have just sulked out here but what I really needed was a friend."

Josh smiles in a shy manner and chuckles a little. "Aww...I'm glad I could help."
