Beautiful Night Child

That’s true. Luckily for me, you aren’t one - at least not yet.

I like to stay under the radar. 

Well of course I do. It’s just that I don’t have time for fun so often, but I’m not a workaholic either.

If only there weren't troublesome students, then you would have plenty of time. 

I probably should take that as a compliment, so thank you. You’re right about Pan, but I have my duty and I’ll always get my job done.

Don't you ever do anything that you want to do? You always seem so busy with your job. 

Mental trig? Just the thought of it hurts my brain. Besides, how do you know that I can't do that? Hmm?

You're right. It is none of my business, but I can't help the fact that I enjoy sticking my nose in places it shouldn't be. You're interesting, you know? I just wonder why you're wasting your life away doing something you don't enjoy. 

Yeah, I’ve met Pan. We share a great amount of meetings.

I'm sorry. No one should have to deal with him on a regular basis. I don't think I could ever do your job. At least you're good at what you do. 

You can finish the rest of my tasks today if you want to. Although, then other students, like Pan, would use their opportunities to make me look like an idiot, so maybe I’ll do them by myself.

Oh, so you've had the pleasure of meeting Peter as well? It's people like him that makes me glad that our roles are not reversed. 

Good point - we are going to see each other a lot more often, Miyako. Let’s learn to trust each other.

Learn? Interesting way to put it, but I agree. Besides we do have a deal.

Me? Earn your trust? Usually, it should be the other way around.

Trust is a two-way path. You earn mine and I earn yours. Simple. 

Again, I’m very sorry. Are you done for your classes today?

Oh, yes. I'm just wandering to kill the time mostly.

Oh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t even notice you. I was just reading a text that I got from my old friend.

It's fine. Didn't you know its dangerous for women to walk around, their minds glued to their phones. Or at least that's what the news says.

Did I startle you? Wasn't aware it was a crime to walk through the courtyard.

I guess you still don’t trust me. 

Not in the least. You haven't done anything to earn it.

Miyako smiled sadly at Flo's comment about her drawn to the forest. It was true now that she thought about it. She only truly felt at peace when she was surrounded by the trees. Raising an eyebrow towards Flo, she couldn't help by comment. "You do blame them. Trust me, I know the feeling. I discovered that it actually helps to admit it. By hiding that you're going to slow destroy yourself." Miyako hoped her words would bring comfort. At first she had thought that Flo was a good person to pretend being friends with, but now she knew that this was what a real friendship was. She actually cared for the girl. 

Sounds good. I already hung up some things on my side, so our room finally won’t look like it’s about to tip over anymore.

I think I'll leave the decorating to you then. I'm clueless when it comes to those types of things. You point and I'll buy. 

"You're lucky you had someone to raise you." Miyako closed her eyes for a moment, shuddering at the memories of being lost in the forest. How long had it taken for her to finally turn her fear into anger? "I was alone, but I learned to survive." She also practiced her magic, learning that anger made it a lot stronger. 

That’s a given. Let’s go.

Oh, by the way. I figured we could make a trip to town soon. I feel that I should own more stuff. My half of the room looks a little bare.
