Wandering around Renais Castle was not Knoll’s idea of fun. It was, actually, the exact opposite of fun. But he had to find Ephraim and he really didn’t want to bother anyone with his silly fumblings. He’d quite forgotten why he’d needed to find Ephraim in the first place now, though.

Frankly, Knoll didn’t know what on earth he was thinking. Clearly he wasn’t. He knew the Time Shear wouldn’t work a second time. Not with him attempting it alone. He lacked the power needed for it. But he wanted to try anyway.

Which ended in a blast that nearly knocked him out and left a rather large scorch mark in the floor. That was definitely not going to be washed up. The stones was now scorched for good. He was just picking himself up when Ephraim burst through the door. Clearly he’d heard the large bang from the spell failing.

Knoll let out a quiet sigh as he leaned back against a tree. It was a quiet morning. A little cloudy but not about to rain and a cool breeze breaking up the summer warmth. It wasn’t often Knoll decided to work outside but when he did, he tried to do it on  days like this.

However, the warmth and the breeze and just the entire situation was lulling him to sleep. As a result, he wasn’t getting much work done. Instead, his book sat open in his lap, pages turning every so often with the breeze, and his pen had long since dropped to rest by his thigh.

Knoll had just begun to drift off to sleep, sitting on the floor of a reading room with a book in his hand. His lack of sleep had caught up to him as usual. That is until he felt added weight on his lap.

Knoll’s instant reaction was putting his hands up to grab the hood back to it’s original position. Unfortunately, his fingers barely skimmed the material as Ephraim took off with it. “….Prince Ephraim?”
