She took the time to take a bite of her own lunch as Matt digested her summary of his semblance, before he went on to explain that he probably couldn't help too much, what with a person's Semblance being very much a personal thing. The Faunus girl nodded with a small grimace. There was a small pause while Amber took a long swallow of the sugary energy drink she had snatched up when she piled food onto her tray before Matt spoke up again.
"But, uh, if you want to study Aura together, I guess we can meet up later."
After wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, she looked over and gave him a smile.
"I'd like that. And maybe, y'know, we could talk about... Stuff and things, over lunch or something." she said with a slight stammer, before quickly adding, "Not that we aren't already doing that now."
She was infinitely thankful when they were joined by Jade and Elva, saving her from making an even bigger idiot of herself.
"I don't know what you did to Umbra, but she's out for blood. I heard he talking to her teammate... the green one. Seems like all of Team RFUS is up to something so I thought I'd let you know."
"Ugh, them again? Too bad we can't do something to stop them here and now. Like, I don't know, break Ochre's legs or something? I'd be into that." Amber pointed out, waving around the half-empty can of her energy drink for emphasis.
But she stopped and turned to Matt when he said that he owed them an explanation: That when his turn came to make some sort of demonstration of Dust Application, he had noticed that Umbra was about to cause trouble for a member of Team MECH, and used her Earth Crystal to amplify his Semblance, welding her feet to the floor.
When he was done, Amber nodded slowly.
"Makes sense. I for one think you did the right thing, since RFUS is full of all kinds of bad news. We might wanna warn Team MECH too, since they seem to have a grudge against them too." she said before pushing herself up and rolling her shoulders, "I'm off to the library. I need to look up Dust Synthesis."

Amber had to give Lodestar credit, the library in Arachnae Hall had more textbooks on Dust, Aura, and every other aspect of being a Huntsman than she knew what to do with, though that wasn't saying much. And while she wasn't exactly one for book-smarts, she managed to follow some of what the texts said regarding synthesizing different forms of Dust, though the rest escaped her entirely.
Still, she had managed a nice stack of notes, all written in surprisingly legible, though blocky, handwriting. She began to leaf through them after closing the book she had been reading through for references when she heard a click above her.
"Hrngh?" she grunted in confusion, glancing around until she could feel the sprinklers begin to drench her, and everything else in the library with freezing cold water.
Pushing out of her chair, she sputtered and scrambled to find something to cover her head with before realizing just what that water would do to her notes. She rushed to grab them, only for the soaked paper to fall apart in her hands. Kicking the chair in front of her with a growl, she snatched up her bag and promptly stuffed the books she was referencing into it, looking around with a murderous glare behind her hair.
"RFUS... Oh, you're all dead, you just don't know it yet!" she hissed, stomping to the exit with a snarl.
What sounded like an earthquake made her pause in confusion before she started to pick up the pace. If that sound was RFUS too, then what more did they have planned, besides giving everyone in the library an unscheduled cold shower? She actually dreaded finding out.
When she got outside, she could see what looked like smoke and dust pouring out of Beowolf Hall, and she shook her soaking wet head as she broke into a sprint.
"No... No, you gotta be kidding me!" she cried out as she burst inside.
