edelgard has been waiting several minutes under the quiet hum of the cathedral’s roof, so high and empty she feels certain that any prayer spoken here would surely evaporate between the vast pillars and cold stone before they reached the ears of the goddess. still, even she is aware that it is rude to interrupt communion of the spirit. if only edelgard could hurry it up, and no longer have to linger on the edge of social sensibility a few feet away from manuela’s unmoving form. at the slightest indication that manuela seems to be done, edelgard takes several steps forward and clears her throat, whether the professor is truly finished or not.
“professor manuela?” edelgard extends a pause, long enough to allow manuela time to turn to her. “i don’t mean to intrude, but i hear you are to be teaching the black eagles this year. i felt it pertinent to introduce myself on a more official basis.”
