Birds chirping...the wind blowing...the trees rustling...

All sounds Sophie expected to here up in the tower patch. Her name, though? Not as likely. So when she heard it, especially in her brother's tone of voice, she sat up on the bench with a slight annoyed look on her face. Annoyed at Caleb? No. She was still annoyed at having to carry her telescope all the way up seven floors of the castle. She hadn't even thought about the fact that she had to carry it down, too.

BAH.

"No," she said, "what I want is to finish this Astronomy homework. I just had to lug my telescope up seven floors." She looked at the telescope, made another face, and then added, "You don't know the levitation spell, do you?" Good enough to carry it back down, she meant.

She stood up and approached her telescope, ready to look out at the night sky. "I'm meant to be using the Sun to help see my parchment or something in the sky," she said, as she looked through the lens. She twisted the lens to get a better focus and began searching the night skies, looking for anything that she could zoom in on.
