Cessavia Her face was a mask of pure hatred and annoyance. "You shouldn't yell when people are trying to focus!" She scolded, also yelling. "Important people train here." A pointed glare in the direction of the child. She'd yet to see either of them demonstrate that they had any right to be on...

Cessavia Though she heard the gentle thumping of the girl's feet as she ran, she didn't take much notice. There was still distance enough between them that her practice wasn't being interrupted. The whirlpool that she suspended from her hand kept it's steady swirling movement, now rarely...

Mia trudged into the viewing room, hugging her arms to her chest. She glanced at the professor, gave a nod, but made no other indication that she had heard him. When she was sat on the other side of the desk, she stared at her feet. She couldn't help but notice that the detective had said 'you...

Diane Gibbs Diane had managed to stay separate from the two girls beside her for the moment, but as they got more into the nitty gritty of what the waitress had seen it was inevitable that she'd end up leaning on them for the support. She dry washed her hands in her lap as she timidly shook...

Anna Anna listened to Natalia's story, nodding between bites of her sandwich. She hadn't even noticed Eva when she'd walked in. "That might have something to do with it," she said with a shake of her head. "She really likes him. I don't really know what she sees in him, I think he's just...

Cessavia A distance from Lais and Nuncvadam, a tall, slender woman repeatedly threw something into the air, caught it, then threw it right back up. At first, it resembled a ball with some sort of ice blue covering, but in time it was evident that some droplets of liquid spiralled off of it...

Mia smoothed her hands over her face. If Maya had truly been an innocent party, then could she tell her the truth? Or wasn't there the risk of the information being transferred along the line? "I don't know. I-" she heard the door click open, and stopped herself. She looked up at the detective...

Mia flinched inwardly at the word 'witch'. Surely he didn't know the meaning behind it, even if it would have worked in that context. There was another flinch, this one unhidden, at the mention of Loray. "She's a Runes teacher," she mumbled, her voice holding a hint of wonder at why Professor...

Mia rubbed under her eyes with her fingers. She gave a small nod. Those cryptic letters he had sent before. They'd been a vouch to keep her safe. She looked at Eric. Why didn't he write any of those to Maxine? She nodded along with what he said about his family, as if it matched up with what...

Mia's head fell into her hands, and then her body slumped to the table, forehead pressed against the cold metal. After a few tense moments, there was the quiet sound of her crying. Within ten minutes, her life had fallen apart. It took her a full minute before she lifted her head to look Eric in...

Mia let the side of her head fall into her hand, pushing the earplug into her ear. She realised at that point that Maxine wasn't their main focus. When the police department was faced with a previously thought extinct race of people that were being given credit for deaths all around the world...

Mia sniffed, wiped her nose on her sleeve. "You're...you're right about that," she admitted with a forced laugh. The location of her friend's body sent a shiver down her spine. She thought about her, fully exposed to the dirt and the bugs. How long would she have gone unfound if Eric hadn't told...

Mia had sat back down, hands folded in her lap as she tensely waited for Eric to start. Within seconds of him starting, her elbows were on the table, her face buried deep in her hands. When she finally moved her hands away, her face was red from trying to keep the tears back. He wasn't giving...

When she felt his hand move away from under hers, Mia moved as well. She placed both of her hands on the table, all big palms and small fingers. She stared at the space between her fingers, breathing steadily. The words Eric said echoed in her head. She lifted her head to see that he wasn't even...

Mia didn't want to rush him. She stayed quiet, trying to keep her hand still. For a while, she was still wiping at her eyes with her finger, before she descended into rubbing them with her fists. The question was screaming in her head to be answered, but she couldn't force him to stop crying...

Mia's throat was tight, her eyes blurry. He hadn't said anything particularly telling, but somehow, she knew. Something horrible had happened to Maxine. She didn't know what she was expecting. For Eric to turn around and tell them she had just ran away? She squeezed his hand, again using her...

Mia's heart was breaking. There was nothing she could do for him. Even if he said that he had nothing to do with Maxine's disappearance, would the officers really believe him? His silence was damning. And if even if they believed him, he was still a hunter. They wouldn't let him go. She reached...

Mia fixed her eyes on Eric's face. He didn't look remorseful, or like he regretted anything. He just looked so sad. "They think that you..." She sighed heavily. She didn't even know what she thought. She flinched at the voice in her ear. How was she supposed to do that smoothly? She cleared her...

Mia nodded thoughtfully. "I see," she mumbled. It would be useful if it went both ways, but Mia had never felt anything like that around Eric. Or, heaven forbid, around Chris. She stared at the table, thinking around the ring around Maxine's finger. She managed a half-laugh. "She never took it...

Mia let out a chuckle, and shook her head. "I guess I'd rather you than someone actually dangerous," she said. She lifted her head at his confession. "Really? How come?" She asked nervously, afraid that he was about to get her arrested for revealing magic to someone previously thought to be...
