This week was just not being kind to Elle. It was only her first real week of classes and it was taking a huge toll on her nerves. Not to mention, Fisher was back in town, and apparently he was staying this time. And Elle didn't know if she could handle Rez doing this again. She couldn't have this kind of instability in her life, plus there were twins in her tummy demanding food all the time and she was exhausted always. Every second of the day she was too tired to even move, but she had to keep going regardless. And on top of that, she had given someone a failing grade on their first math test.
So she had done the only thing she felt might help. She'd bought some Oreos in the vending machine and found an empty classroom, sat in the floor and sobbed her heart out.
Malakai had been wandering the halls, a book on the proper ways to teach dead languages in one hand open for him to read. Of course, it was in Latin. The smoothness of the language made perfect sense to him and was better than the grating tones and haltedness that English had. English. What a ridiculous language. There was no flow to it, no music.
Speaking of no music, his ears twitched as he heard a particularly wrenching sob. Closing the book, he glanced around, pinpointing the sound. A couple doors down in one of the classrooms. The door was cracked slightly. Moving down the hall, mildly concerned for whoever was obviously upset, he tried to figure out the scent, recognizing it as one of the other professors. The pregnant one, Elle. He could smell the twins. Knocking lightly on the door, he walked inside, wondering why she cried.
