Lounging in the midday sun, Hino Rei was stretched out on a folding chair in the small lawn in front of the dormitory. She heard a vehicle in the distance, near the main gate, but with it being the Summer semester new students were already beginning to make their way to the campus. Thinking little of it, she stared idly into the clouds, a small part of her wishing that she still had access to her friend's private beach house in Japan...or at least that she would have thought to remain in Hawaii for a few extra days instead of immediately returning with Liz and River.
With a sigh, the raven-haired girl closed her eyes as she soaked in the warm summer's day. But her spiritual sense remained as sharp as ever, and she again became aggravated as she Saw the aura of a classmate approaching. This is just great, she silently complained. What's so relaxing about sunbathing when people keep walking past all the time?Violet eyes opened and peered out from behind darkened glasses, wanting to see just who felt the need to bother her. Her

Spotting her raven-haired friend, Utena broke into a casual lope, devouring the space between them easily, despite the heavy luggage she carried. Dropping the bags unceremoniously on the lawn in front of Rei, she smiled brightly, showing white, even teeth.
"I don't know about a nice time, but we did a lot of training. It was great!" She turned her body and did a mock-bodybuilder pose, showing lean, firm muscles.
"What about you, how was your summer?"
Leaning forward, she gently tugged Rei into her arms for an affectionate hug.
Unable to hide her smile any longer, Rei attempted to return the hug as best she was able with her body stretched out. "I thought it would be something you'd like. I don't train as much as you probably did, but I've been to that area in the past for meditation."
Releasing the embrace, Rei pulled her darkly-tinted glasses away from her face, now able to look at Utena more directly. "Well," she started, not sure how to describe how much could happen at a magical school such as that in two entire months. "A lot's happened since you've been gone. You know how things can be..."
Utena nodded, and dropped into a squat in the grass, elbows resting on her knees and hands dangling in front of her casually. Tossing her pink hair out of her face and flashing a smile at her friend, she settled in to hear the news.
"Yeah, I know...wanna give me the high points? I'm not in any hurry," she grinned.
