#woof sorry this took me so long! won't happen again

[rozyrne]

just getting to listen to goldmary again is already amazing. even if it's too bad they're in different houses, with the way she describes the black eagles, it makes sense — and she's right; it totally fits her look better ( he'd avoided it cause he'd heard all the hard workers were over there, and their house leader was kind of a stickler. the last thing he needed was pressure to get his scores up or anything like that ).

and goldmary on a pegasus? now that, he's gotta see. he'd have to challenge her to a race sometime when she got the hang of being in the air, see who was faster, carmilla or her horse on wings. he and hortensia used to go neck & neck when she'd take him up on his little contests. ( back when she used to do stuff like that, anyway. )

and speaking of brodia, that's what enbarr kind of reminded him of! he'd thought the straight stone streets and imposing, grandiose architecture rung a bell somewhere. that figures. "yeah, training's always kind of a bummer. but i guess if we both want to be tough enough for hortensia, it's a must. i can't wait for her to get here and see how much stronger we've gotten! hehe, she'll be so surprised, don't you think?"

they start ambling by any number of roadside stalls — it looks like they've wandered into some commercial district; eateries line them on both sides, sandwiched between boutiques and other services. the inviting smell of something sweet-sour and delicious drifts in from somewhere, making his mouth water, and he starts scanning for its source while starting to answer goldmary ( "oh, golden d—" ) until the leaning weight on his arm pulls his attention to her completely, and cherubic features brighten with a happy laugh.

"aww, of course we will! no way i'd just abandon you like that." hands on hips, confident head tilt, sashay of periwinkle locks. and then, more levelly: "i'm pretty sure not all classes are separated by house, so sticking together shouldn't be hard! flight practice for sure if you're serious about that pegasus ♫ "
