Emma really knew how to throw a party. The Atlantean theme to the event was apparent in every decoration. The five gorgeous women playing in the string quintet that accompanied the event were dressed in fanciful mermaid inspired costumes, to match the setting. Why, if Namor himself walked through the door at that very moment, it's likely people would just have assumed he was an honored guest. ~~And don't think Emma hadn't tried to do just that.~~

Food of all varieties was available, as well as multiple flavors of punch. When the string quartet wasn't playing, general Prom-style mixes of various hits and dance songs throughout the decade would play over the meticulously crafted sound system, a parting gift from a former student. All in all, it was truly as much a Paradise Beneath the Waves as Emma had wanted it to be.

And it didn't stop there. The outdoors of the Institute had also been decorated, but this time in the theme of a spring garden. Blankets were scattered out along the lawn around the pool, offering spaces for people to simply lay down, relax, and enjoy a myriad of virgin (and not so virgin, for the adults) cocktails provided by an "old friend" of Emma's.

It was the biggest social night of the year for the students of Xavier's. And Emma, knowing the transient nature of the school... wanted it to be as memorable as ever. Emma Frost herself, however... was curiously absent.

Even if she didn't have a date, Meiling defiantly dressed up for the occasion. There wasn't just one place she would stay, wandering from both areas without much direction it would seem. She was enjoying the scenery and things that were going on for the time being. If anything, she was only planning on staying for a few hours and then excuse herself to do other things. Depending on how her powers felt like being for once. At the moment, She felt fine, but knew that could change. Although she is at least trying to fit into things, carrying around a cup of punch, at least to keep her hands busy for the moment.

"Miss Hong Meiling, I presume." a mostly unfamiliar voice called to her, dressed in a simple black cocktail dress. The woman wore a smile, and the face was very likely familiar, though...

"I've been meaning to have a chat with you. Do you have a moment?"

"Yes?" There is a surprised note in her voice as Meiling turns around and freezes for a moment. It's one thing to see someone who was well known and idolized to a point but for them to know your name? It takes her a moment before responding again.

"Of course. I'm mostly watching more then participating anyways. What can I do for you?"

"That's actually something I wanted to talk to you about... Your name was on the roll sheet for my training classes, but you were absent. I talked to one of the counselors and they said you might have slept through it." She stepped closer, eyes examining the girl.

There is a moment of deep thought and then a embarrassed look crossing her face. That just might have slipped her mind. Meiling sighs a bit and rubs the back of her head with her free hand. "Yeah...That's a good possibility. Not intentionally mind you but..I can make it up if need be. Sometimes it happens when my abilities overwork to a point. Biggest reason I'm here and not back home for home schooling."

"Don't worry, you're not in trouble," Chun-li giggled. "I got the whole scoop on your condition... I was going to talk to you about private training sessions to better suit your needs."

"I'm not?" That was a bit of a surprise but at the same time, a relief. She drops her hand and looks at least a bit curious at the idea.

"Oh? I mean, That's be awesome..but if it's a hassle I can find a way to make it to the regular sessions. I can stay awake if need be, honest." Of course she's flailing about a bit mentally at this. She's used to trying to help others, it's not occurred to her others might try and help her out that much as well.

"Well, to be entirely honest, I kind of look forward to one-on-one sessions with someone who already knows most of the martial principles of of my homeland. I don't need to teach you the basics, like the others."

"True, That does make things easier...If you insist, It couldn't hurt." Hearing that, made sense so it was a bit easier to accept in the long run. "Is there anything I need to know before fully agreeing to it, even if I will anyways."

"I'd be prepared to walk away from training wobbly, if I were you. Bring water and protein." In other words, Chun-li intended to kick her ass on a regular basis.

"Sounds like a challenge and a half. A workout in the most extreme sense to a point. I'm up for it. Just let me know when and were and I'll make sure I'm awake and there."

"You seem fired up already. Let's not worry too much about the specifics. Right now, I think I'd like to get to know you better. I've read your dossier, but that doesn't really tell a complete story, I think."

"Ah, I guess that's true. There isn't much to me honestly. Just older and a younger sister, helped the family my family works with and made some things work." A slight shrug after that, 'I mean, unless there was something more to that you wanted to know."

"I think there's more to you than meets the eye. Not that I'm suggesting you're hiding anything, I just think you're more interesting than you give yourself credit for. If you're going to be a personal pupil of mine, that has to be true, right?" Nevermind it was being done for the sake of Meiling's condition...

That silences the teen for a moment. There was a point there..even if she completely had a moment to forget that there was another reason for it. After that she smiles a little and nods, rubbing the back of her head once more. "I guess you have a point there. One I can't argue more then I have at least."

"Don't worry. That confidence is something we'll work on, too," Chun-li smiled brightly, patting Meiling's shoulder.
