Maybe she'd glitterfy something. If no one would notice. Dot pulled out a few random titles as she walked through the stacks. 1000 Boring Plants. The Most Boring Way to Explain Exciting Spells, a Compendium. Don't You Dare Read This Book Or You'll Fall Over Dead From Dullness.
Sigh. Sigh sigh sigh sigh.
Dot gave up on the books and curled up in one of the chairs so she could properly stare up at the pretty windows alone one wall. The light filtered through in patches of color that sprinkled along Dot's arms and into the chair and floor, and she danced a toe from blue to red to green to purple to blue again. Why couldn't every window be stained glass?
Thornton was searching for a place to curl up, having found a book on musical charms. The work for term had not yet become overwhelming and so he was taking the opportunity to see where magic and music might overlap.
With the book tucked under his arm, he made his way past the stained glass windows, smiling at how the color spilled on the floor. He was distracted enough that he nearly walked all the way past Dot without noticing she was there. It was just as he had taking a step past, he spotted her out of the corner of his eye.
Taking a step back, he turned to her.
"Hi Dot."
