Lash was a little bit distracted, admittedly. Not just with trying to unravel her old nation's mystery and the whole White Dwarf deal, but waiting to see what would happen when Hawke would ask Jake about a meeting with Hachi (Lash had a much smaller patience. It was good that she wasn't the leader) She had a feeling once things took off, it would be hard to keep up. Of course that was nothing to the mess that was her emotional life right now (or you know, how she felt about it. Leave it to the wunderkind to think her love life was more important than her old nation being a near lie). Everything felt new and confusing again. There was some guilt too.

So what better way to ignore both of those things by making an overly complicated class involving tanks and a game of paintball? There were so many papers and permission slips to fill out, it gave her a way to tamper and change her mind to other subjects. Besides, tanks were awesome. It was for this reason that Lucas' voice didn't register right away until she caught the 'up' part of his

"Great, thanks." And that was true. With Valentine's Day having come and gone, Jeff's absence was pressing a little less heavily on his heart. He had always been the kind of guy to try to keep his chin up, even if he did constantly spew angsty walls of text SOB dwell on things. Having something positive to focus on did make it a lot easier. So thanks for that, Lash's many confusing hormones.

Might as well at least make an attempt at smoothly sliding into the topic at hand, though. It never hurt to be polite, engage in a little small talk, etc. "Um... what are all the papers for?" He asked. "...Do you want some help carrying them?" He added, after a pause. Papers weren't heavy, but it was still a lot to carry.

"Oh just a bunch of permission slips and release forms I had to fill out (sometimes forging for certain people who didn't hand them in) regarding this week's class," she explained, appearing somewhat grateful to nearly shove half of them in his arms. "Thanks. There's a lot of tank diagrams I had to double check and safety standards and so on and so forth...."

They walked outside and to her dorm, where she quickly opened the door, waving her arm for the canons to shut down.

And then the carefully filed papers were flung on the small table in the front entrance before she took the ones Lucas was holding. She stretched her arms. "Man! Sometimes being a teacher is completely boring!" Because for some reason she needed to reaffirm that paperwork was boring, even if she had purposefully done this. Image to keep and all.

From the brief glance he managed to steal, Lucas... had absolutely no idea what Lash was planning, except that it was probably something that would have had him immediately excusing himself to go lie down in the nurse's office. That was just Lash for you, though: never a dull moment.

"Well... why not take a little break?" Lucas suggested. "I know about an ice cream place that's got some pretty good sorbets." Lash, after all, lived with Kumatora. While ordinarily Lucas would have been delighted if they were joined by one of his best friends, he kind of had a feeling Claus probably didn't want word of his romantic entanglements to spread around to too many other Tazmilians just yet. A little discretion wouldn't hurt, especially if it involved delicious frozen desserts.

If only Lucas knew about Kumatora finding out about it already, he might have changed his mind. "A break does sound nice..." Lash could appreciate going for sorbets; despite the cold weather, working on the tanks to check their safety measure was most certainly a lot of hard work. It could prove a lot more fun as a distraction than filling out another batch of papers.

"Just gimme a minute, I'll take a quick shower. Feel free to use the TV or play a video game while you wait!" It didn't quite cross her mind that Lucas might not be into those things, but she was true to her word. Before he could look over, she had already tossed the dirty clothing in her room and the shower was running. In a few minutes she was already out, drying her hair and putting on a pair of clean clothing.

"Okay! Let's go!"
