Who: Peony & Quen What: A new lesson Where: The Mages Tower; a casting room When: This afternoon Rating: G Status: Complete~!
The casting room was empty. Peony had asked for it to be set up that way - a bare room with stone walls and no windows, lights recessed in the ceiling, and a single target set in the center of the room, which she had complemented with a large crystal which would be used as a focus.
Quenten had been drinking hot - but not scalding - tea for two days. There was never a crust of ice over her bowls of water, and no longer did she require healing for frostbitten fingers. She had patiently withstood training that she clearly found deeply frustrating, but Peony thought that after tonight, she might not find it so arduous. She had a notion that the girl was going to be extremely - and pleasantly - surprised.
With everything set to begin, she took a seat on one of the stone benches built into the wall near the door and waited.
