Tonight was the night of a New Moon, something that for Roxana was not actually a big deal. It was a Full Moon that would cause her power to not work on her and cause her hair to turn back to its black color that she was born with and that her eyebrows remained the color of. A New Moon did nothing to her, it was not something to be concerned with, but she was. She was worried that her mutation was now showing signs of having an issue with working on a New Moon as it did on a Full Moon. It was the only logical conclusion she could come up with off the top of her head; which was not very good since she had not gotten much sleep since she had to make trips out to where the students were camping in order to check in on her targets. "Work." Roxana said, in clear frustration with that simple work. Sitting on the floor in the students lounge, looking at her hands and trying to figure out why her crystals kept cracking and not forming at all.
Her head reached up to tug at her hair to at least pull a strand out so she could check its current color. It was white. She should have still been able to use her power, but it was acting up. There was also something that was bothering Roxana's ears, the sound of music, but something in the music was bothering her. That must have been it. If it was not the pending New Moon that would make slowly start to appear in the sky a few hours from now when it would become night, then it had to be that music. Sound waves were a part of her weakness, but only certain frequencies. One of the frequencies in the song the person was listening to must have been the cause of Roxana having an issue with her crystal. She had to be sure, to eliminate or confirm if it was in fact the music causing the issue for her. If she could not identify for certain what was causing her power to act up then she would become useless. A useless Strix was a dead Strix and she didn't want that at all.
So Rox stood up, went over to the person who she could hear the music coming from, and tapped their shoulder. "Excuse, but what are you listening to?" Roxana asked in a normal tone that didn't really have any feeling behind it. She probably should have added a 'sorry for bothering you' in there but she was more concerned with figuring out what was wrong with her power then being overly kind.
