She has cases full of jewelry waiting for her to play with when they get out.

They can both dress up. 

Perfect.

And a slightly less spectacular dressing up today, to celebrate surviving another year. 

And one more to go.

Off to the cafeteria, then?

Might be better to try to catch those two when they return to the floor after scavenging... There's a bit of time before lunch, still. 

Sounds like Liesel wants an excuse to keep Bea to herself for a while longer.

She's trying to be considerate of Higgins' girlfriend's clear dislike for being spoken to during meals.

Multiple purposes, as always.

It's how she operates. 

It's very attractive.

One of her many purposes. 

Heee.

Quick kiss, before setting up something to alert them when one of their targets returns to the floor. 

Then it's a waiting game.

They get alerted pretty soon to Luthien Higgins entering the corridor, at least. 

Her girlfriend's not usually far behind. Time to say hello?

She looks more 'high on adrenaline and endorphins' than 'exhausted,' at least, with an exceptionally and possibly unwisely large haul from the workshops in her arms. (She might be in trouble if a mal jumped her. But, on the other hand, 'very few mals are left' is why they're all relaxing a little today.) She's lightly singed, too, and her clothes are covered in a really interesting variety of stains she might not be able to get out later, but she doesn't have any blatantly obvious injuries.

She and El got a good haul, though. Things for Shinta - a forging apron, sandpaper, a new file; materials for their book chest - purpleheart wood, small gold bars, a coil of titanium wire, a LED strip, and a new fine engraving tool; and materials for a custom knife for Jialin - high quality magnetite ore is the big one there (much better for making truly quality blades than the pre-made steel the school usually provides).

She smiles at Bea and Liesel, good naturedly, and says, "Hello!"

"Congratulations are in order, I assume?"

"By the skin of our fucking teeth."

"This fucking school," she says, commismeratingly. 

She gives her sister a playful nudge. "Pretty sure we got it working at the end, though. But, yeah, it took a lot longer than anticipated..."

"The two of you are nothing if not resourceful."

"...We made it out. And - I don't know who survived. Some people collapsed. But... We got everyone back to their allies, at least."

"Find out next year. Later today, maybe, for some of the enclaves."
