As much as she’d have loved to pretend, Piper was anything but happy to be back, upon leaving she had left thoughts of the academy behind and her only reminder of her time there being her closest friends and the diploma that sat on ber office wall. Adjusting the bag on her shoulder, a wave of nerves crashed upon her as she set foot onto the campus grounds. Her phone was gripped tightly in her hand as she looked around, catching sight of the odd familiar face that had simply aged, well. Pushing her sunglasses up on a perch on her head, she quickly sent a message alerting her ride that she’d arrived inside safely. “Age has finally caught up to me - yay,” She muttered, unenthusiastically before looking down and trudging forward but not before bumping into someone else, “Goodness, I’m so sorry.”

“She won’t leave my sight now you need to stay calm and rest. I love you, see you when I get home,” Benjamin spoke softly into the phone, hanging up as he shoved the phone back in his pocket. Adjusting his hold on the small brunette in his arms, he gave a smile as he wandered down the walkway, “This is where daddy learnt all he knows. Let’s see who we can find, maybe Uncle Charlie is around here.” The words caused the child to giggle, nodding her head quickly as they moved through the crowds on a lookout for a familiar face.
