all eager to stay where she might be able to snatch him up again. He all but ran out of the estate, toward the carriage, and then he jumped inside like he were diving out of the way of a fireball. "Take me to the teleportation circle this instant!" he yelped, and the carriage shot into motion.

The rope snapped. He hit the ground with a WHUMP. Elisaria's retreating heels were the only thing he could see until he was back on his feet, and the lights in the room returned to normal. The door that led to the front door opened and he brushed himself off irritably, then left in a hurry, not at

a high-level healing spell, or perhaps, memory reconstruction. Neither of which I have time for; I am busy with my studies, which I really should be getting back to, and if you're truly some friend of Tomomi's, then you won't be hurting me. And if you're some antagonistic force against my father,

"The school I was at, they did something to me. They erased my memory. I have no recollection of the spell I used... and I barely remember her. I barely remember my best friend." His lips thinned. His head thrummed from being upside-down for so long. "The only way to free those memories would be by

"I don't remember." Mattias' throat went dry. Her eyes, so utterly unlike Colette's, or Tomomi's, were so close to him. He couldn't help but look into their red depths. It wasn't a lie, either. He didn't remember. Part of the memory destruction spell, or whatever it was. He shook his head.

Hearing her name made him freeze. Her voice came to mind. A glimpse of her face. The woman that he thought would study at his side for the rest of his life—he didn't love her in the same way he did Tomomi. No, their connection was far different. A twin he never knew he had, from a family he'd never

Ask about her, then his father, then her again? Was that whiplash he felt from the sudden topic shift? He groaned. "I think I've known for a long time that I loved her." He cleared his throat. "I still do, obviously, but why are you doing this now? Wh- we've known each other for well over a year

You realize that was well over a year-and-a-half ago? I have grown since then, mind you.

He was getting irritated by this pointless questioning. "If you want to ask my father things, then ask him. Not me. I know very little about his mind or his adventures." He huffed, then gestured toward her. "We could have had this conversation over tea and crumpets or something like civilized folk!"

The memories slowly came back to him, like he were pulling molasses through an icy waterfall to bring them back. He'd seen Tomomi, and her beauty, and then Lurk, the strange psicrystal on her back. "We met in a bookstore," he recalled. "I feel it necessary to point out that, should Tomomi learn

"Harm her? Intentionally? Never." He paused for half a breath. "Unless she told me to, as some plan on her part, at least." He wiggled his fingers, unsure of what else to do at the moment aside from answer this weirdo's questions. "Do you intend to kill me? You told me you were not going to torment

Did we meet during a sparring match??

[Blinking] how did I meet Tomomi...

He swung slowly from side to side while he felt all of the many objects dropping from his pockets to the ground around him. Books, a wand, a scarf, ten silver pieces, a pair of socks, and a half-eaten apple. "If you're going to torment me, at least make it quick."

He stepped onto the tripwire, then yelped when it grabbed him by the leg and lifted him up into the air, where he dangled like a caught fish. "What the hell?? Why are you doing this!!" He yelled, his knuckles just barely draping against the floor.

He followed her into the dark and wished, once again, that he'd thought to pick some Light spell to light the way. The estate was terribly dark—it reminded him thoroughly of venturing into a cave. "And all the lights off were necessary for this surprise...?"

Or rather, that he'd fight an army to get to see her.

He turned abruptly, ripping his cloak free of her grip. "Tomomi is here?" He croaked, then cleared his throat. "Well, why didn't she greet me with you?" The words left his mouth, but he wasn't really thinking about them. Just the thought of seeing her made him want to fight an army.

Did he call her something? He looked back at her and then at her hand on his cloak. "I didn't call *you* anything, merely said your opinion about *our* relationship is not your business." He snorted. "Let go of me."

Mattias sniffled derisively, then took a step back from the doorway, already intent on marching back to the carriage and demanding to be taken back to the teleportation circle that very moment.

our personal business." He stood his ground, using his height advantage over her to look down at her sternly. "You may take on the role of a concerned friend, but as Tomomi has never mentioned you to me before, your opinion—to be quite frank!—is as important to me as a rat's ass!"

He raised an eyebrow, unmoved by the steely glint or her weird demeanor. "Frankly, I don't care for your manner of judgement, nor for your meetings. I have chosen who I have chosen and unless she directly tells me she no longer likes me, no arbiter of some noble house has any right to butt into

My gods what is wrong with this teenager.

Did they have a single light on in this mansion? Or any windows open? He looked down at the pair of floating red eyes before him and gulped. "That is my name... and you are? A humanoid, I hope, at least."
