After setting her luggage inside her dorm and making sure she was presentable, Cecelia had returned ot the administrative office for clarification on her classes, and a request to speak to Mr. Zack Asiv when he was not meeting with the Big Four, expressing it concerned one of his staff members.
When he had the time, there was a soft but even knock on the door!

Asiv was in his office when the knock came to his door.
"Enter."

Her nerves came back in a flutter at the permission to enter. Would it really be like Rose said, risking her life every day just by turning a corner? Looking at someone the wrong way? Would this man be shirtless and ready to attack like some...some...animal?
But he sounded so civilized! So polite! And she was keeping him waiting! Celia meekly slipped inside the office and shut the door behind her, clearing her throat as she took in the office and Asiv's appearance.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Asiv. I'm sorr to bother you in the midst of all the exam preperations, but i had something I wanted to ask you, if that's alright."

Asiv turned off his PT as she entered and put out his cigarette, folding his hands on his desk.
"Very well. Please sit."
He would wave a hand for one of his guest chairs in front of his desk.
"Ask away."

"Thank you." She took the offered seat, tucking her skirt under her legs and smiling her gratitude as he put out his cigarette.
"I realize I'm new to how things are done here, but my concern is of some of your staff. One, if I may be honest." She frowned slightly, remembering how she and another student...soldier? She honestly didn't know. Either way, they had both been terrified. Thinking about it still left her tense.
"Is it normal for personeel to threaten students, implied or otherwise?"

Asiv would take a measured breath considering the options. She didn't appear to be someone that needed that kind of treatment, though it is possible she simply witnessed it.
"Sometimes it happens as a way to push people to improve. But it is generally only during training."

She seemed to be even more troubled with the explanation as she shifted slightly. Celia couldn't imagine Sugar trying to push either of them to improve. If she was normally cold, then perhaps the first time, but then she'd been so sweet again. Willing to help.
"And beyond those examples?"

"I would say it is unusual for it to happen outside of those examples."
Asiv admitted, not finding any other reason that he would consider it a useful tactic.

"I understand." She nodded after a moment, drawing up the nerve to continue. If Mr. Asiv ran this place, he deserved to know.
"My concern comes from one of your medical staff, Mr. Asiv. Her reactions to our presence were fairly erratic, and she made veiled threats towards us after inquiring if she needed assitance for an injury."

That was troubling news. Not just that the medical staff was making threats, but that there were injuries as well... There were however many medical staff members.
"Do you know who it was?"

She took half a moment to make sure she remembered the woman's name correctly before nodding.
"A MS. Kuromori. Taller than I am, dark hair. Her arm was injured, though she didn't seem to notice it. It might not have been as bad as it seemed."

Asiv's face would scrunch up a bit at the mention of who it was.
"That is heavily out of character for her..."
He would say as he leaned back in his chair trying to think of something, pondering the circumstances.
"Thank you for bringing it to my attention."

"Thank you, Mr. Asiv." Celia offered him a grateful smile, leaning forward slightly as she did so.
Which was great when she hiccuped and a bubble came out. Eyes wide, she covered her mouth with her hand again.
"Excuse me. Thank you again for your time." She rose to her feet, ready to make a hasty retreat before the bubbles started in earnest.

Asiv's eyes would widen as his eye brows lowered in odd surprise. Though he let her leave standing when she did to follow polite protocol, but still staring at the bubble.

Celia's cheeks burned a vivid pink, just visible around the top of her hand as she cleared her throat, painfully aware of the fascination with her body's bubble trouble. Unless it popped, the bubble wasn't likely to go anywhere but up to the ceiling.
She refused to draw even more attention to it. She cleared her throat, a faint sound as she forced her hand back to her side.
"Thank you again for your time, MR. Asiv. Good day." She would nod politely to him and back away from the desk, slipping out the door unless he stopped her.
The bubble, oblivious to its creator's embarassment, hovered about in the air minding its own business!
