Andrew had managed to get Floogster's nose to stop bleeding without using any magic. He might have used it if he had known any small healing spells of that nature, but he hadn't. "Will you be alright now? I have to get some things done so I'll have to leave you now..." He waited until Floogster answered the affirmative and then was off.

It was late for a school day and Andrew was typing away at a keyboard in a very dimly lit locale, with the light radiating from the monitor brighter than that of the surrounding room. The Archives. So quiet and the peacefulness of it fell like a blanket all around, like the atmosphere of the Pelagirs or the Plains. In a way it was like home in here.
The Archivist was walking around behind him, doing whatever it was she did and sparing the occasional glance over his shoulder to satisfy her curiosity.
Andrew looked up at the wall behind the computer which held an assortment of announcements, past and present, pinned up to it. A notice, which was probably taped to walls all over the school, mentioned some of the upcoming events:
"MONDAY
School starts, most facilities available for use
TUESDAY
Student Council meeting
After school
WEDNESDAY
All extra-curriculars begin
(see your Phys. Ed. teacher for team tryout dates)
THURSDAY
SC members leave class early to help set up
Welcome Back Ball
(see previous announcement)
After school"
The first week and already things seemed to be in full swing. He went back to working. There were a lot of things he could get done between the present moment and the next day. Darkwind was guarding his room, part of his territorial instinct Andrew supposed. He'd go to sleep eventually, but right now he just wanted to keep doing something.
"You don't have to type that up for me, you know," came Ms. Hwang's voice from the shadows behind him.
"I won't be too long," Andrew responded. |
