Xion’s room was on the same floor, and only about a dozen rooms away from the room shared by Deana and Zara. Naturally she had no clue about the events that had transpired as she was spending the morning practicing her martial arts.

Charlie had recently expanded the patency of her Ren Vessel from 40% to 100%, increasing her overall strength exponentially. She practiced hard, taking full advantage of the foundation laid for her by Charlie. Xion exercised this morning in her sports underwear, covered in sweat from the strenuous work out when the doorbell rang. Hoping it was Charlie, she excitedly ran to the door.

As she reached for the door a voice came through from the other side, “Miss Banks, are you awake?” It was Isaac Cameron.

Her hand froze in midair, and with a feeling of disappointment she asked, “Is there something wrong, Mr. Cameron?”

Isaac politely responded through the door, “Our young master is here with a few acquaintances in another room. He would like you to join them if it’s convenient for you.”

When Xion heard that Charlie was looking for her, the disappointment was replaced with excitement, and she quickly replied “Please wait a moment Mr. Cameron, I need to change first and then I’ll be right out!”

She ran back to her bedroom and toweled off her fragrant sweat, ignoring the need to take a shower and changed her clothes. She looked at herself in the mirror, and although she had a radiant face with full red lips and white teeth, she felt despondent and a lack of delicacy. She’d never learned to apply makeup, having focused her life on martial arts, and didn’t even have lipstick or pencils to help doll herself up a bit. In desperation, she dispelled the notion for the time being and hurriedly left her room. Isaac Cameron was waiting at the door for her.
