Hoot, hoot, there was only one reason an owl came to see you in the morning. Zinnia pried her eyes open, the sunlight filtering in through the open window. An owl perched itself on the ledge, carrying a summons. She had been expecting this of course, to think that Elder Ulrich would simply leave her be after taking in the stranger would be a foolish mistake. "Bring it here," Zinnia held her arm out and opened up her hand. With a flourish, the owl flew inside, dropped the summons, and left just as quickly as it had come. Outside in the hallway was a popping sound and just like that, Blithe had come, dusting feathers off of herself. "I tried to chase him away, but he was insistent." Zinnia brushed it off as she unfurled the scroll, the looping cursive that could only belong to Freya greeting her. "Well? What does it say?" Blithe asked impatiently, her tails swishing.
"It says that I've been summoned and to bring the girl, Yue with me." Blithe's eyes widened. Zinnia had been summoned before the council plenty of times before. "But what about school? Your teacher isn't going to be happy if you ditch again." Zinnia smiled, pulling on her uniform. Zinnia shook her head as Blithe zoomed forward to button the front buttons, doting as ever. "I don't intend to ditch, I'm going to take Yue with me and we'll head straight there after school. She can wait in Dean Eincrad's office," Blithe gave her a withering stare. "You'll watch her," her familiar perked up at that, she hated being left at home everyday.
"Or maybe take her to market and get her some clothing?" Blithe grinned eagerly, ever the fashion lover. If it weren't for her, Zinnia would be wearing her school uniform at all hours and possibly a plain black shift. "Let's go invite our guest to breakfast," Blithe turned into a small poof, running alongside her as Zinnia floated towards the door. "Yue?" Zinnia knocked, "Are you dressed? Can I come in?" She opened up the doors, looking around the room and finally, at the huddled form in the corner. "Interesting choice, I see you've gone with the modernist method. It's never been my taste in particular, but if it is what you like then I can't argue." Zinnia waved her wand, the entire room seeming to move in reverse as the blood stains were wiped off of the walls and the pillow repaired itself. "You can't make something from nothing, but you can certainly fix it. Now, let me see your hands."
Blithe ran out and came back, totting bandages. "Anyhow, we'll be going into town. I'm not the best at healing, but I'm sure Freya will take a look. We've been summoned before the Elder Council, to appear after school." Zinnia wrapped Yue's hands as best as she could, her touch ever so gentle. "In the meanwhile, let's have breakfast, shall we?" Zinnia tried on her best smile, attempting to comfort the poor thing. "I smell toast!" Blithe hollered as she ran from the room, practically throwing herself down the stairs. Zinnia went to the sink to wash her hands and made her way down the stairs, hoping that Yue was following. Blithe had already busied herself in the kitchen, fancying herself a chef as Zinnia set the table, her wand doing all of the hard work for her.
