"I'm glad you're here, too." Well, not at this exact moment, but as she's already here Amelia will let that pass. She really is glad that Adia made it through all the intense things that were happening on her world and is now safe, or at least as safe as someone can be in a situation like hers.

Another scribbled note for herself as she shrugs half-heartedly. "Research about elemental magic, mostly fire for now. And, hopefully, some protective magic as well, if I feel up to it today." Which she doesn't, but that's why people are allowed to check books out from the library, right? Glancing back down at her book, she shrugs again. "I'm not sure my research is getting me anywhere. I'm still unable to do much with what little skill I currently have aside from lighting candles from across the room and other trivial things." That's the most frustrating part; She was supposed to be able to learn how to protect those she cared about with her magic and yet she can barely manage anything with it after a year. If she knew anything about protecting others, she could have done so much more when Khan attacked the Nexus. She could have been there to protect--

The feeling of heat rising to her face stops her thoughts as a sudden panic sets in. Crying is normal and allowed when she can do it silently and alone, but not in the library. And certainly not in front of Adia. She takes in a sharp breath and shakes her head, looking at the wall - and away from Adia - quickly.

"Probably just overthinking it," she says quickly. "I'll get there eventually. I have to." Before she loses someone else she truly cares about.
