“Well, you did pretty well.”
Saydri, Enrie, and Tairiekie gathered around their Philosophy tests, studying their grades.
“I got a 94%. A ninety-four.” Tairiekie’s finger tracked down the page. “He knocked me off for calligraphy on three letters, and for a wrong answer on Mechanical Fastness. How did I get that one wrong? How did I get marked off for penmanship?”
“Well, I think you could have drawn that e a little more clearly...” Saydrie shook his head. “No, that’s dust. What did you put for Mechanical Fastness?”
“I think I got it confused with The Principal of Rock Foundations.”
“Ooof.” Enrie winced. “And with Professor Pelnyen being so firm on Rock Foundations.”

May. 20th, 2013 09:28 pmThere is no greater curse than ‘May you never sleep soundly,’ and no greater blessing than a soft, dry, and warm bed. – Ancient Cālenyena saying
The bed felt strange; it felt stranger to be sharing it with his captor. Girey had taken a long time to fall asleep and, from the sound of her breathing, so had his captor. There hadn't been many actual beds for them on this journey, and both of them were soldiers; there hadn't been that many beds for them in years.
There was a mounded blanket between them, the night being relatively warm for this far North and this early in the rainy season. Neither of them had spoken about it; they'd just pushed it there, making a final hurdle that they weren't quite ready leap.
When Girey had finally slept, it had been a deep rest, with dreams of warmer times and sunnier skies. He had been deep in conversation with a blue-eyed girl when a commotion from downstairs wrenched him out of his sleep.
