The sound of chatter and laughter rang out through Lemony's ears as the other young people were stood around chatting about Dexter's victory and Lemony's defeat. Lemony stood up taking a few steps forward she stretched and rolled her shoulder blades around as she locked eyes with Erica who showed little to no guilt laced over her face. Lemony couldn't help but glare at her.

"You did well for you first fight." The unmistakable sound of Izabelle's voice pulled Lemony back to reality.

Lemony looked away from Erica and down at the young girl giving her a small smile.

"I think Chiron wants to talk to you." Izabelle said gesturing behind her.

Lemony nodded, her eyes went to where Erica was stood but now she was gone. Lemony sighed, making her way passed Izabelle to Chiron, ready to be penalised.

Ignoring the laughter and chatter that was no doubt at her expense, she walked toward Chiron. If she had looked however she would have seen the look on Dexter's face, he was impressed at the fight she had put up.

Chiron walked away from Mr. D who sat on his dramatic vine covered ivory throne. Mr. D had an empty wine glass in his hand, while is free hand waved Chiron off as he walked away. He made his way to Lemony.

"Don't." Was all Lemony could say with the lump that sat in her throat, she bit back tears of both defeat and anger directed towards her ghost friend- well exfriend. "I know I messed up, I don't want to reflect on it. Just let me wallow in self-loathing." Lemony wrapped her hands around herself. "It's one of my few talents."

"You didn't mess up, Emily." Chiron explained. "For your first fight here you did incredibly well, Dexter didn't even land a hit on you. You took him down first." He reassured her.

Lemony just nodded, her mind continued to wallow in her failure. ((<<A/N: If that isn't me... then I don't know what is))

"Anyway, now we can begin to teach you better, knowing your skill level." He explained.

The two of them began to walk back to way that Lemony and Izabelle had come, the two deep in conversation with Izabelle trailing on behind.

"Take some time for yourself, Emily and I will see you later." Chiron suggested.

Lemony looked up, eyebrow raised. "For what?" She asked.

"We're having a campfire later, plenty of food, some music, and maybe dancing." Chiron explained. "I, myself don't join in with the dancing but I will be there. I also think it would bee good for you so-"

"-so people don't see me as a sore loser shut in, who doesn't know much about this world?" She finished for him.

He just nodded. "Just don't beat yourself up." He said one last time before turning and walking off in another direction.
