Week 13: Thursday
Who: Miklos and Sydni
Where: Miklos's office
What: More classes? Is she crazy? Nope, just needs distractions.
Concentration was beyond Sydni's power at this point. The full moon was tomorrow and she was still concerned about Charlie. He really had been a hermit this week, and that was no good, in her opinion. She also had not heard from Justina. Not that Justina owed her the time of day, but she wanted to hear her voice and know she was ok. Add in to the mix her being miffed that the one class she wanted to take with her guide was in conflict with a class she felt she needed to take. She could have taken Astronomy, but that just wasn't as interesting as Philosophy to her.
Pushing aside her unfinished homework, she decided she could at least do something about the class. She hoped Miklos had the time to do an independent study. She hadn't really thoroughly thought through a proposal, but once she talked to Miklos she figured he could help give her an idea of a solid objective for the course. She knew so little about philosophy she didn't know where to start. She figured she could do something broad and sweeping, or something more focused like on a specific era or something. She needed Miklos's advice.
Not wanting to take chances anymore, Sydni removed her sacred jewelry and headed down the howls to Miklos's office. She knew he would be in since she had checked his office hours earlier that week. Good thing she had, as she'd planned on going on Friday, but his office hours were late, and she would have been slaughtering small animals and in no condition for a coherent conversation.
Prowling through the halls, Sydni didn't feel timid this time. Firstly, she had already met Miklos once, and she had enjoyed speaking with him. Secondly, the full moon made her feel powerful, and it curbed her usual apprehension. The only apprehension she felt was that he might say no. She'd be diving for sure this weekend, if that were the case. She was being told no all over the place, and that would be her slight little rebellion against the powers that ruled the school. But, she was so excited about the possibility that she hadn't really let herself think that he would say no.
Reaching her destination, Sydni knocked lightly on the door. "Professor Lazlofi?" she said just loud enough for him to hear, she hoped.
