It was dead silent in the classroom. Fitz and Sophie sat facing each other avoiding eye contact and Tiergan was just sitting and observing.

"Are we going to do anything?" Sophie asked impatiently. She just wanted to disappear and get away from this, but unfortunately out of all the powers she did have, invisibility wasn't one of them.

"Miss Foster and Mr. Vacker, I sense a lot of tension between you two so we will be starting off easy today. A simple back-and-forth question-answer trust exercise."

They both nodded, Sophie was already wondering how quickly she could get through this.

Sophie stretched her consciousness over to Fitz and transmitted to him, Ok, let's get this over with.

She waited for a reply for a moment before realizing she was blocking him, "Sophie what's going on?" He asked.

"Hmm, no idea. This happened with Forkle too. Should we just do this like we used to: in your head?" Sophie tried not to smile, she loved knowing how to block Fitz from her mind. 

"I guess," He looked extremely skeptical. Sophie risked a glance over at Tiergan, he just looked puzzled.

She transmitted to Fitz again, So would you like to ask me the first question?

Sure, Fitz agreed. He took a moment to think. Apparently, he decided to go with the pretty deep question to start, What are we now? I know you said we aren't dating, although I hope that isn't a forever decision, but are we friends? Are we even acquaintances?

Sophie sighed, I'm not sure, Fitz. To be honest, that day you really scared me. I honestly thought you were going to hurt me and it might take me a while to get over that. She looked at Fitz, watching the understanding hit his face. He honestly just looked disappointed, not remorseful or guilty.

At least his mind isn't in danger of breaking, Sophie thought sarcastically.

Fitz sat there for a moment before responding, You're turn.

Sophie started thinking. While she was doing that she pushed back in her chair the front legs coming off the ground. She asked her question, Do you think punching Keefe was wrong?

No. Fitz answered quickly, he didn't even need to think about it.

Sophie's surprise at his response was evident because she lost her precarious balance on her chair and fell backward banging her head on the ground.

She sent a transmission to Keefe right before she blacked out, You know me, super clumsy. Meet me at the Healing Center.

Sophie woke up to lights flashing in her eyes. "Sophie, you're awake!" Elwin said excitedly. "I hadn't seen my favorite patient all week and I was starting to miss you. You realize you can just come visit me, right?"

Sophie laughed. Then she heard Keefe's voice, "You know Foster, there's a reason her picture is above this bed."

Sophie allowed herself to look around as Elwin laughed at Keefe's joke. Keefe was sitting right next to her on her left and Fitz was sitting on the cot next to her. He didn't look particularly mad, but he didn't look happy either.

Elwin turned back to her, "So it seems like you have a mild concussion. So, no school for a little while, and try to keep light leaping to a minimum. Your brain is going to react badly to any light and it will give you headaches. I have a couple of elixirs that should help take most of the effects away."
