open action; monday.

[ Classes had just started up again and Illyasviel von Einzbern wasn't the type of person to sit around. Of course she had to miss the first class of the day due to an emergency check-up with the doctor, so that's where she'll be during the morning, before classes actually start and during the first hour or so. Anyone who knows her is free to drop by if they don't have any morning classes or are, perhaps, ditching. But be warned: she may or may not report you depending on how you deal with her.

Being a homunculus is not fun, especially when you're short and have a short life span. Of course, Illya herself already knows that she's only got a little under a year left more or less, but it's not as if she isn't going to have fun. If she didn't, then she'd be wasting her time, right?

And she... really doesn't want to be wasting any time. She'll be in almost all her classes today, participating as she sees fit. After classes are said and done with - either during lunch or after - however, she'll definitely be asking about what happened in the morning class. Not that she expects anything to have happened in the morning since it's the first day but still. Maybe she missed something interesting! She may or may not be attempting to talk to everyone she passes by at any given moment, though. Especially if they look like an easy target. Bonus points if they don't know about the secret of magic.

But at least she's not breaking the rules!! ]

[It's around lunchtime when Zelda manages to find Illya. She slips up quietly, tapping the shorter girl on the shoulder before taking a seat next to her. She'd worried about you, dear. And she doesn't want to alarm you.]

You missed the first class. Is something wrong?

[worldcup]

No, there's nothing wrong. [ She sports an innocent smile to her fellow classmate, trying her best not to look worried. ]

I just had to go to my annual check-up, that's all.

[sageofwisdom]

[Zelda frowns just a bit, a little concerned all the same.]

And you scheduled it during class? That doesn't seem like you.

[worldcup]

I scheduled it before class, but the check-up lasted a little long.

[ Mostly because they ended up chatting a while. But all her teachers know her situation, so she's in the clear. ]

Did I miss anything?

[sageofwisdom]

[Instead of talking too much, the taller teenager reaches for her bag and pulls out a folder. Plopping it down without a lot of ceremony she shrugs.]

I took notes on anything important. It was mostly discussing winter break, the usual formalities. But we did have a small lesson on understanding metaphor. And you missed reading the first few chapters of Wuthering Heights.

[worldcup]

... Wuthering Heights? Do you know what it's about?

[sageofwisdom]

We're three chapters in, Illya. I think you can catch up without me telling you.

[Really...]

[worldcup]

I was asking because I wanted to know if the book was any good or not. [ She can catch up easily, but it's annoying not to know the synopsis. ]

[sageofwisdom]

I haven't read any farther than the first three chapters, actually. So far? It's about a gentleman coming to visit someone, and believing he's met a ghost.

[Zelda isn't the type to read ahead, she has too much other stuff going on to want to read something they'll be reading in class anyway.]

[worldcup]

A ghost? [ That's surprising! At least it doesn't sound boring. ]

[sageofwisdom]

That' what it seems to be so far. There's probably some symbolism I'm missing, but again, we just started.

[She really has no idea. The book does take a sharp turn in a chapter or two, after all.]
