"No, it's my fault," Ayumi said, biting her lip and watching her transmutation circle fade back into her skin. She felt ashamed of herself that she let her temper get the best of her like that. What if she had hurt her, a civilian? She probably would've gotten her license revoked, or something...
"She's right though. Alchemy is dangerous, and if you learn it, you're setting yourself up for a world of pain." She stared hard at the ground. "People are gonna make you do horrible things with your alchemy, trust me."
"But, y'know, sometimes...sometimes it's worth it. Like, knowing that I have this, well, power... it makes it all worthwhile." She shrugged. "So I guess it's your choice. Well, it always was, but yeah."
(ohh yeah, big dramatic speech yo)

"I... what is your teacher like, Ayumi?"

Ayumi blinked. "Huh?" She scratched her head. Totally not expecting that...
"Well, uh, well she's nice when she needs to be, like, y'know. Sorta cold, but she's really smart, and she really cares about her students. Like she'd yell her face off during a lesson but then makes you chicken soup and somehow the whole lesson is about chicken soup and how it relates to alchemy." She chuckled a little bit as she remembered that one lesson. "I like her."

Frowning, Kaylin shifted a bit where she stood. "I hate to say this but... I'm really unsure of whether or not I want to do this. To leave Fiebro and everything here. To leave Avira here all alone... to learn something so dangerous... so deadly."

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Ayumi gave her a pat on the head. "It's a big decision your making, a huge one. But...if we're gonna be in Amestres in a week, we really need to go now. Sorry to rush you, but..."

"I can quit training if it becomes too much, right?" Kaylin looked hopeful, though feared shined in her eyes.

"Of course! We'd never force you to do something you wouldn't want to do," Ayumi said reassuringly.

"Okay. Follow me, I'll pack quickly." Kaylin lead Ayumi to her bedroom.
Stepping into the small bedroom, Kaylin took a quick sweep of her room. A basket of unfolded clean laundry lay beside her bed, and her lamp was on, revealing a few of her school books on the desk.
"It's not much, but hey, it's home." Kaylin smiled.

Ayumi grinned. "It's better than my place back home," she offered. Her dorm room back at Central Headquarters was pretty much a jail cell, there was barely any room in there because her room was always being repaired for one reason or another, but what could she say? She liked experimenting.
She poked around a few of the school books, smiling at the little diagrams of alchemy. It reminded her of her childhood, only a few years ago, when she was just starting alchemy.

"Oh." Kaylin quickly threw a couple outfits in a bag and a book or two. Turning, she took a moment to watch Ayumi look at the school books, a small smile coming to her face.
"Ready to head out?"

"Yup, all set." Ayumi furrowed her brow. "Fastest way to by boat. We'll end up in Briggs, and then we'd have to cross the mountain into Amestres. It's gonna suck, just to let you know."

Frowning, Kaylin nodded, "This is gonna be quite the adventure."

Ayumi chuckled. "Yep." She started to head out of Kaylin's room, glancing down the hallway to make sure Avira wasn't coming out.

Avira glanced out of her room to watch them walk away, glaring at Ayumi the whole time.
"You better take good care of her." Avira's voice was a whisper
Kaylin had that infamous concentrated frown on her face as she followed Ayumi down the hall, clearly anxious about the trip.
((Hey ayumi, just letting you know the place im going tonight might not have internet so you might not get a reply from me until tomorrow - gomen!))

She flipped Avira off in response as she walked out the door.
"Okay. Supplies. Ah..." She looked down the almost unfamiliar streets. "Is there a hiking store around here somewhere...?"
