I NEVER NOTICED
University
YOU WERE ILLEGAL
Anathra woke silently, uncurling herself from Zacor's side and standing, the same muddy confusion striking her as it had the morning before. Right. The fire, and everything else that happened after it. That's why they were here, sleeping in this building that was still strange to her. And why they were sleeping practically on the floor, the almost flat mattress pad no substitute for the bed that they had had before. That would have to go soon, and they'd have to find a real bed to sleep on. She wrinkled her nose as she tiptoed towards a glass coffee table, the only other piece of furniture on the lower floor. Eventually they would move upstairs (and furnish it, as well), but the past two days had mostly been dedicated to settling back down and just...well, being alive. Girl scrawled a brief note to her sleeping friend, letting him know that she'd be at the University. They had passed it while finding their new home, and they still desperately needed furnishings. While she didn't want to travel far today, she hoped she could find some things for them there.
Finding a new bag to put things in had been almost too easy. It was a shoulder bag, like the previous one had been; black with a faded red star. A few small paperback books stayed at the bottom of the bag, waiting to be investigated once she returned home. Ana strolled through the high-ceilinged library, running one claw across the spines of books as she looked over them. Most were in English, although there had been a section of books with titles she had not been able to figure out. Foreign languages that were strangers to her, not the Welsh that was native to her or the minimal German she had picked up. They were all interesting. It was a pity she couldn't take them all home.
She set the half-filled bag on a table, abandoning it momentarily as she meandered over to an ivy-hidden window. The window underneath was cracked, but she peered through the small opening of plantlife anyway. It was all so new; and quiet. It would take forever to get used to it all again, but at least she had someone with her this time.
