It was hard to be disciplined about something so boring, and it would be worse when the weather turned, but Vivi needed to get into the habit of running to increase her endurance. Sigh. But it was rather boring, especially when she passed the same couple of students over and over again. Did no one have to be somewhere?
When she finally caught up to the person ahead of her, Vivi was delighted to find she'd been chasing Hasty all over the grounds. Or not chasing, really, since it wasn't a race. Vivi dropped down beside the girl and flopped back into the grass.
"Ugh." That was breathless talk for 'hey there, old friend.'
Abby thought about taking a small nap before heading back to the castle. It wouldn't be weird.. right? To sleep in the middle of the grounds? Hm. It probably was. So the girl just remained sitting up on the grass, running a hand through her hair in an attempt to straighten it. She was sure she looked like a clown right about now.
In the middle of making herself a little bit more presentable, someone sat down beside her. An expression of annoyance crossed her face. SERIOUSLY? Why were people not leaving her alone? She hoped it wasn't Lex, since the girl had a bad habit of following Abby around.
Abby looked up to find..
"Genie?" She raised an eyebrow in surprise. Heh. She hadn't seen her friend in a while.
"It looks like you've been getting some exercise too." Good. Abby was quite impressed. And, that didn't happen often.
