I stood up again and curiously walked towards the door to the lecture room, following after Hailey. The hallway was quiet. It was the quietest I had seen the academy grounds in my entire time here. 'Eerie.'
I then turned to Hailey and then "Oof." her stature collided with mine as she hugged my torso tightly. "Thank you for your help today. I was so nervous. I am not used to talking to that many people. Sure, in the military I can command my whole squad, but this... All those eyes looking at me for knowledge... Did I do good? Was I clear? Ugh, I nearly threw up when I walked in. So many people. I planned the lesson out perfectly, but once I was inside, It's like I forgot everything. Your few interjections and hasty use of entering the Mindspace really helped me out. Thank you."
I smiled at the sudden hug. I liked my friends breaking physical boundaries, touch was more insightful than words in my mind after all. Wrapping my own arms around her back, I softly chuckled and replied.
