Calla opted to go home that evening. We had starting the new year together, but she wanted to spend some time with Bianca before classes and work started again. I'm sure they had a lot to discuss: Bianca would have to be involved in wedding details, as Calla's maid of honour; and they had to sort out living arrangements for when Calla came to stay with me. Bianca would likely need a new room-mate.

Mirko laughed. “Look, the Invincible’s blushing,” he said. “Oh—I am reminded of a pressing matter I must deal with, elsewhere.” He got up deftly, as did Fuun, saying, “I am reminded of a similarly pressing matter.” They both darted out the tent-door.

She knelt down beside the tree, sowing handfuls of compost into its soil. In her heart, she knew it would not be enough. Even though she had created the compost herself, from her own leaves and berries. Even though she had put her heart and love and tears into it. It was the only thing that could help, and still it would not be enough.

I felt my stomach clench up and do a backflip at Calla's words. Her emotions always affected me powerfully. Looking into her eyes, seeing her naked vulnerability and hearing that she wanted to marry me, well, it made me ache.

"Calla... I..." I took several deep breaths. "I love you so much. I don't know what else to say but that."

I don't particularly want anyone to share what is almost my greatest failure, so of course Lady Tia allows 'Sy and Katherine into the chamber in the next moment. I get the feeling of someone waiting for Regeneration - not Elete, though. Gerald. Ah, he fell into some ill luck during the mission? He's not visually present - which means Lady Tia is waiting for something else before she allows 'Sy to bring him back.

Probably rubbing my nose in my shame--

My thoughts break off abruptly as I realize who else is in the chamber with us. Ebrelle is... not very recognizable without his makeup and with his hair gone white. He's also shaking and leaning on Katherine and 'Sy just to stand. He has an odd determination in his eyes, though.

FlowerGirl requested: an important US historical event, at Chatoyant College

Alise poked her roommate's side with the toe of her loafer. "Get up, lazy."

Helen rolled over so her back was to Alise and groaned. "It's Saturday morning! We don't have classes or church! I'm going to sleep in!"

"Not today, you're not," Alise said grimly. "I need you."

Helen gave a deep sigh and sat up. She blinked at Alise. "What are you doing dressed already?"
