7th of Ioannes
in the Longest Winter,
Era XVI pf
(afternoon)
Ledome came back in the afternoon, entering the impressive black and red building once more, but this time only greeting the receptionist and continuing towards the staircase. She figured out the system of the room numbers and found the room of her teacher rather quickly. There she paused at the doorstep, peaking in and wondering whether she should enter the classroom or wait for her teacher to appear.
She jumped a little upon the voice and placed a hand at her pounding heart for a few moments. Then she did as the voice told her and recognized the little house at the ficus. So a pixie was the teacher! Ledome stepped closer, adoring the petite desk and writing tools, and warmly smiled at the pixie.
“I am, nice to meet you, Miss Morning Glory.”
Her dark hair fell into her face when she gave a small nod. She had hardly changed anything about her appearance since inquiring about lessons earlier on this brightening. Still she wore her sleeveless blouse and her red and violet skirt and walked barefoot. Her pockets were filled with objects that were invisible to others, but well-known to herself.
She followed the offer of Miss Morning Glory and sat down at the next chair, first burying her hands in her lap, then folding them and concentrating on telling something about herself. What would be worth mentioning?
“I’m really not that interesting”, she started apologetically.
“I was born somewhere at the countryside of Centripax and lived many years travelling with my kumpania.” Her expression told that she loved thinking and speaking about home, although Ledome’s home didn’t consist of certain places, but rather of certain people. But her story was all too short.
“At the approach of my nineteenth birthday I decided that I wanted to visit cities, talk to gaje … different people and travel on my own to learn skills I like—which doesn’t mean that I don’t respect our culture any more, kek at all! First I stayed in Natura for some months, but then I continued. Because I wanted to experience how living on an island is like I eventually came to Demios. And I find that I like it here.” It was true, she hadn’t thought about moving on since she had arrived and settled down.
After a while she remembered that there had been another question, and shrugged.
“Everybody talks about Arcana as being very fascinating and helpful, and I’m very curious about it. Also, isn’t Mysticism about the mind? I hope I’ll be able to better help people with problems when knowing what is going on in their minds.” She gave a careful smile and hoped that it was true what she had heard. Still she knew very little about Arcana.
