A spell scroll lay open on Quenten's lap. Her hands were still, gripping the scroll handles loosely. She'd sat down after class in her chair by the window and had attempted to study, but she'd found it completely impossible to keep her mind on the finer points of casting thunder. By now, she'd all but given up. Spring was here to stay, and the air was heavy with the scent of flowers and sunshine and rain. Birds were singing, and the youngest scholars could be heard laughing and talking on the lawn below the tower. Quen's face was turned toward the window and her eyes were closed.
Ari was supposed to be here soon. As excited as Quenten was to meet her new friend from the network, even that was overshadowed by what was currently bothering her. Still, she intended to put on a cheerful face and try to enjoy what she would have ordinarily considered the highlight of her week.
As though summoned by the thought, a knock came to the door. Quenten startled so suddenly that the spell scroll fell to the floor. Bending over, Quen felt around for it a bit, but couldn't find it. She didn't want to leave Ari waiting, so she sighed and stood, smoothed out her skirt, and walked the eight paces to the door, which she flung open with a big smile.
"Hi!"
