Grey

When i woke the next morning, it took me a moment to remember where I was.

I sat up, rubbing my bleary eyes. Nedra was already dressed for the day, her long skirt flowing under a tunic, with a cloak over her shoulders, the big square pockets bulging. Her alchemical bag sat by the door, and I could see her crucible peeking out from inside it.

I stretched, yawning hugely. Nedra turned, watching as the blanket fell away from my bare chest, and a surge of heat filled me—I liked the way she looked at me. “We could stay for a little,” I said, lifting an eyebrow at her suggestively.

Nedra smirked at me, but she said, “I need to go.”

“Then I’m coming with you.”

“You don’t have to. It’s not like I’m getting extra credit or anything. Master Ostrum won’t even be there.”

“I’m not going for him,” I said. “I’m going for you.”

Nedra glanced at the window and the red light of the rising sun creeping through the curtains, then she turned to me, still mustering the energy to get out of bed. “You better hurry, then,” she said, mockingly. I faked a yawn that turned real, my jaw cracking. She laughed and dropped a kiss on the top of my head.

I liked that kiss just as much as the passionate one last night. This kiss was casual, easy, the kind of kiss people share when they’re certain of each other.

I dressed hurriedly in the same clothes I’d worn last night. As we left, Nedra made a point to check the lock on her door. “Thank you,” she said in such a small voice I almost didn’t hear.

“For what?” I asked.

“For being on that side of the door last night.”
