"Um… I'm k–" The rest was an inaudible mumble. The embarrassment, however, was clear in her voice.

He tilted his head, frowning. "What?"

"I'm….kinda…..grounded" she muttered, face burning with embarrassment even though he couldn't see her.

He groaned. "What did you do?"

She looked around her trashed room. "Cinthia told me not to do something. I threw a fit. Might have wrecked a few buildings. Definitely trashed by dorm room. And suspended."

He sighed. "Is no one allowed to see you?"

"No. I'm just not allowed to leave. June could probably smuggle you in. YOU HEAR THAT SHORTY??"
Junia looked up from where she sat on the ground, messing with an unfinished necklace. "Hm? Yeah, sure."

He flinched. "This is in my ear, you know."

"Oops." She started her poor attempt at cleaning her room. A few things feel and crashed against the floor.

"Why did you break so much stuff?" he asked again.

"Because I'm a very violent person, Runner." She said reasonably. "You can't expect a violent person with anger issues to sit idly by and clip flowers like a good little girl, twiddling her thumbs."

He sighed. "So you were mad at me."

"No, I was pissed at Cin." More things crashed. "Sonavabitch, that's heavy!"

He turned to Junia."So you can take me there?"

"MmmmHmm." She held up the necklace, testing it against Runner from where she still sat on the ground. "Not bad. Needs more metal," she muttered to herself.

He tilted his head. "You…channel your magic through the gems?"

"I'm a Giant," she said, still inspecting the necklace she had positioned around Runner's neck from where she held it up. "And an Isic. My magic and very being is closely tied to the earth and its creatures. I happen to be a jeweler, so I default to gems and metals. I know them better than anything else."

He gestured to what she was holding. "And that?"

"A necklace." She smirked and went back to tinkering with it.

He turned his attention back to the earpiece. "You still there?"

A grunt. "Yeah. Just cleaning up my mess. Getting kinda crowded."

"It sounds like you're just throwing shit around."

"It's my own form of cleaning. Shut up." She indeed chucked a shredded pillow into the closet and kicked a trashcan out of her way.

"You can only call it 'cleaning' when you actually, ya know, clean."

"Shut up." she said again, but a small laugh escaped unannounced. She tossed around a comforter that was leaking stuffing and attempted to shove it into the closet as well. "Get. In. There. You. Piece. Of. Shit! Ah!" She fell forward with the comforter with a yelp, crashing into the closet.

He turned to Junia. "Might wanna hurry up, her dorm room's attacking her."

"Good." Junia said with a small smile. She stood up, tucking away the necklace and pulling out a swirling purple gem. "You get nauseous easily?"

He shook his head. "I'll be fine." He pulled the headset from his ear and handed it to her.

She took it, turning the communication system off while putting it back on, and chucked the purple gem. A portal appeared where the gem shattered. She swept a hand towards it. "Guests first."
