Neil woke to familiarly scented sheets and the plain walls of his dorm room. He started, faintly and something tickled his right cheek. It turned out to be a handwritten note from Calida, explaining that Dexter had brought him back to his room, because he’d been restless. Renee had cast a mild sleep spell on him, to make handling his wings a bit easier and since he was so tired, it had carried more weight than she’d expected. They hadn’t been able to wake him and Dexter had suggested that a familiar environment would help.

Stifling a groan, Neil rolled over. He was surprised to find that there wasn’t the slightest hint of pain associated with the action, catching himself a moment too soon to stop. It was delightful to be able to lie on his back again, without any uncomfortable side effects.

His memory was blurry though and he couldn’t remember much more than curling up on the sofa, opposite of Calida and talking about his wings. Wrestling free of the tangled covers, Neil dragged himself out of bed and wobbled to the refresher.

The second shower for the day helped tremendously. His body felt wonderful in terms of zero soreness and relaxed limbs. Standing in front of the sink, Neil carefully brushed his fangs—having learned the hard way just how sharp they were.

A tiny feeling niggled at the back of his mind, but he couldn’t be bothered to tease it out. He was awake and feeling more energized than he had in days. Perhaps it had been the meal. Calida was an excellent cook.

Neil blushed at the sappy expression on his face and hastily rinsed his mouth. The Baronsworths had been polite enough, even if the only one he’d really felt comfortable with was Dexter and Calida.

The others were nice enough, but between Bevi and Terius, Neil wasn’t sure whether it was alright to be there or not. The other half of Calida’s handwritten note had offered him the excuse of cooking lessons, if he wished to visit in the evenings after school and before work.

That was his usual block of study time, but he’d been able to make do with fewer hours before. Learning to cook was also a particular skill he’d wanted to pick up, but couldn’t. There was nowhere to practice and the Academy was built with self-sufficiency in mind—with the exception of culinary arts. If he wanted to learn cooking, he’d have to attend a culinary school.

The Synders never would have allowed that. They hadn’t even trusted him to make their own food at home, though they had ordered him to see to every other menial chore in existence. Neil shook the thoughts away, focusing back on the note.

It would be a good experience, at least if that was what she really meant. He liked her cooking and it was probably a good idea to learn from a good cook. Even if Terius and Bevi were there, Neil was sure that the evening couldn’t be too terrible.

Terius listened to Calida and Bevi listened to Ty.
