i am one with the wind and sky

Directly after your last class, my dear Karoonda. It’s nice to be met with some enthusiasm. 

Of course! I've missed being in the air. Winter's hard.

Alright, no more dallying.

Merlin, yes. What time?

I think your odds of moving to Australia just increased a lot. Though I will admit to missing you if you do go, Karoonda.

Play your cards right and I might be tempted to bring you along. And a few choice others. I'm too busy to make new friends at this point in my life.

Perhaps show some graphs. Parents like graphs. And numbers, they always make things more important looking.

Studies on how people living in warmer climates are typically happier and more productive? A nice touch, if you ask me.

I think you’re making perfectly valid arguments.

You're right. I need to present this argument to my parents. Better do some sound research first. Make it plausible.

Yea, I’m beginning to question just how much I really need that education. I mean there’s warmth to be had…

'Stralia's warm year round. Plus my aunt is a witch. She could teach me anything I need to know. Forgive me, I'm justifying out loud.

I’m extremely jealous. I’d be there in a second if I could. But no. We are here. In the not-yet-Spring.

The dreaded Endless Winter that continuously plagues Scotland. We must bear it for our education!

I take any and all increase in weather. I don’t discriminate against warmer weather of any sort. 

Fair enough. -groans- I just remembered it's mid-summer if I were to go live with my auntie. Things to consider.

You do know it's only February, correct? I'm personally counting down the days until it's summer.

It’s not that big of a deal really, I’m just glad I could be of help.

Just let me compliment you! I'm glad one of us is keeping their life in order. You're doing a bang-up job.

That might have been the basics, I think you’re proving my point though, you are getting frustrated the longer we speak. Maybe you should take a deep breath and walk away, we can never agree on anything anyway.

"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." Enjoy being a limitless chauvanist, McLaggen. Good day.

That’s not what I said.

Well then, what did you say? Because I was under the impression that you implied my feelings would overwhelm me. That, as a girl, I would get my feelings hurt due to your blaming own inability to best me-- on any scale, really-- on sexist ideals, and cause me to do something that would bring shame or place a bad outlook on our House. Is that correct, or did I mishear you?

Yeah…It sucks.  I don’t…I don’t even know what to say.  

You're welcome. If you need anything, let me know.

I..I guess I’m making it.  Just came on so suddenly that it still hardly feels real.  I held off on telling Alecto the full details until I returned.  I hope she can forgive me…I just couldn’t owl that news.  But I think she’s going to be okay.

Oh, that's so sad. I can't even imagine that. [[She hugged him, for lack of something else to say.]]
