Week Three: Sunday

Who: Alessa and Lyn
Where: Library
When: Early afternoon

Alessa couldn't help the small smile that came over her face as she quietly pushed open the door to the library. It was, without a doubt, one of her favorite places in the school. She wandered happily, if perhaps a little aimlessly, down one row and then up the next until she found a book that caught her eye. She stood on her toes and reached up to pull it off the shelf, careful not to knock anything down in the process. Once she had it in her grasp, Alessa caressed the cover lightly before looking around for somewhere to sit and read.

She found a chair near an open window, a slight breeze coming through. She could see the trees and bushes outside beginning to bud, and grinned. Spring was definitely here, and her spirits were lifted by that fact. Winter always made a part inside her feel dead and useless. She figured that this probably had something to do with most of the plants going into hibernation for the cold months. Before coming to Halycon she'd never dealt with a real winter, snow and all, and it surprised just how depressed the weather had made her. But with the coming of spring and the blooming of all the plants and flowers, Alessa felt far happier than she had since her arrival.

With a small smile on her face, Alessa settled down into the chair, curled her legs under her body and opened the book. She was content and relaxed, ready for an afternoon of doing one of her favorite things in the world - reading.
