Esme tell out a long sigh of contentment as she leaned against Ignis, flipping a page of 'The Histories of Light Magick' one of the many text books she had received from her teacher's. The fact that the book was only two thousand pages long disappointed Esme, her fascination being cut short by the almost non-existent length of the dark blue text book. Bel had his large head resting on her lap while Sep curled his body around all three of them. The fact that she would have to leave soon made her feel slight sadness at the thought of leaving her glorious beasts. For most of the time Esme has been at H.A.G.S she had opted out to hiding in the forest with her large familiar's then actually talk to the other students and teacher's. Why couldn't she just stay in the bliss she was in now? Esme had heard there was a party last night but instead of going she used the diversion and the fact that the Head Mistress wasn't on school grounds to sneak into the forest at night and spend the moonlight hours with her familiar's. Another deep sigh escaped the young woman as a light breeze tousled her pale gold mane making them go wild as it fluttered around her face.
'Esme don't you think we should be heading back to the school now?' Bel questioned lifting his head slightly off her lap to look at her. Bel's pale blue eyes met Esme's amethyst ones and saw the hidden disappointment she had about going back.
"I guess we should." Esme muttered, closing her now finished text book and putting it in her satchel along with her other books. Bel stood up and Esme followed, earning a grumbling growl from Ignis and a hiss of sadness from Sep.
'You will be back later right?' Sep asked.
"Yes of course." Esme replied sending a sad looking Sep and a grumpy/worried Ignis a reassuring smile. The basilisk just nodded its huge head and walked as Esme hopped onto Bel and they took off into the air. Esme clutched Bel's feathers tightly, the air current getting stronger the higher above the tree's they went before they cleared the tops and hit blue skies. Esme looked down, enjoying the high view of the school's grounds. 'Land by the tree line' Esme told Bel mentally and the hippogriff nodded before making his decent. Once they landed Esme hopped off Bel's back and started walking towards the school and to the lunch room. Esme's stomach grumbled loudly as the scent of food wafted into his sense's not also a pinch of nervousness made her stomach clench at the sight of many people sitting in the lunch room. Taking in a deep calming breath Esme moved toward, Bel following close behind her, as they made their way to the food. Esme quickly grabbed a chocolate milk and a blueberry muffin for herself and a few raw steaks for Bel. She took a seat at a table in the far corner of the room where no one sat and started eating, while watching Bel scarf down his food.
