The red haired candidate ran through the cooridors, she was going to be late for candidate classes as she had lost track of time when she was at the stables earlier and had to run in for a quick bath before attending lessons.

As she really didn't want to turn everyones noses up seeing as moments before she had stunk like herd beast manure, because one of the nasty old cows had kicked her back into a fresh pile of dung. So there she was running down the corridor, as she turned a corner she didn't even see that there was a person there heading the opposite direction she was and skidded to a stop, but couldn't quite get stopped in time.

Syntara was nearly knocked into the wall by the girl and was instantly put into a fowl disposition. "Just _what_ do you think you're doing coming around the corner like that?!"

"Oh I am very sorry, I was just in a hurry, and I saw you, but it was too late." Illiana said in a rush as she picked herself up from the floor. "I really am very sorry greenrider."

"Don't even 'greenrider' me, all right? Just don't run next time!" She took a few steps past the girl and put the whole episode behind her. "Sharding candidates!"
Syntara made sure that she said it loud enough for the girl to hear.

Illiana stood there with her mouth wide open for a moment. "Excuse me, if there is anything I can do to make it up to you?" She offered, not wanting the woman to continue in the other direction in such an angry state. Illiana tried to keep everything and everyone happy, and so far she had done a horrible job with Syntara.

"Are you sharding kidding me?" Clearly there was something wrong with this girl. "Grow a little backbone and let someone be mad at you for a change! I hope you weren't planning on Impressing a gold, because you'll never do it with an attitude like that."

Illiana stood there, eyes wide, mouth open, she couldn't think of anything to say. And even if she could it would surely make matters worse. The young candidate decided that she would try to find out the womans indentity and perhaps send her a small gift. Sighing she turned and went the opposite way the rather angry woman had gone
