Closed a lawless land

[Mikael Nightray]

It was rare for Mikael to venture out onto the Grounds on his own. It was rare for him to venture out really. But that was also because there hadn't been a need for him to get out of the castle until this semester. With Tiziano now in the school, even with his attention mostly focused on ensuring Eurydice's safety, he could feel that his brother was there as well to keep an eye on him. While he had given up on maintaining a low image for his grades considering Theodore's presence and his prefect status, he would have still liked to continue practicing his dueling within the school while he could. With Tiziano's presence however, he hadn't been able to actually duel with his friends or with Hinata as much as he would have liked if his brother hadn't found himself here. And so there hadn't really been any outlet for Mikael's frustration and so all he could do at the moment to organize his thoughts was to hang out about the Cliffs on his own. Or at least until Elio got out of class. He was sure he'd told his boyfriend where he would be just in case his class ended early as it sometimes happened since they were getting close to the end of the year.​

 

[Elio Boneheart]

Elio was finding it hard to believe that he would soon be leaving the school. Even though he hadn’t been in the school for as long as some people, Mikael for example, and even if he hadn’t felt like some of the things the school did were good, or even right, that didn’t change the fact that it had been a major part of his life for two good years - and he wouldn’t have Mikael without it. He’d enjoyed the short year he’d had with Rhys, and it was fun to get to know the people in the school too - Anisha, Zerrin, Miranda, Teddy - there were others, like Bailey who’d somehow managed to become his best friend. He shook his head and sighed as he looked for Mikael, surprised he wasn’t waiting outside of his class today. The cliffs, he’d said, and though it was out of bounds normally, he was sure it was fine if he was with a prefect. He saw him quickly and moved up behind him to wrap his arms around him, because he liked using his height to his advantage sometimes. “Hey.”​
