OOC: Hey...sorry about the delayed replay....PC's been acting kind of weird on me!
IC: Skye watched Alvender head back down the stairs, and went into her room. She threw off her heavy wizzarding robes, leaving her tunic and pants on. She scrubbed her face and hands, but did not bother to try and tame her short, wild hair. It was futile.
Yukiko grew to the size of a large dog, sauntering about the room, feeling somewhat restless.
"We'll practice after dinner, I promise," Skye told her. "But I'm really hungry..."
I know...I'm just eager to get to the point where we both aren't feeling quite so much sympathy pain for everything in the world, Yukiko said almost bitterly.
Skye sat down on her bed and Yukiko lay her head in the girl's lap. Skye reached down and hugged the dragon, her companion since birth.
"I miss him..." she whispered to Yukiko, who responded with a nod of agreement. "But we have to do this for him, right? For Mom too...for everyone else...this war has to end..."
Yukiko let out a breath.
Someday, there will be peace, she agreed. Let's get down to the meal hall though...you need nourishment.
Skye nodded, and the two of them, Yukiko remaining in her large-dog size, made their way down to the meal hall. Skye took a seat at one of the long tables, and helped herself to some bread and butter, some turkey, and some fresh green beans. She spied Lucas a few tables away, nearly finished. Her eyes sought Alvender though...wondering if he would show up at all.
