Ever since her mother had died, Azura had felt numb and everything seemed to be cloaked in darkness.. The last week had been hellish.. Finding out on the street.. The funeral..
Standing in front of her Father, dressed in black as family members tried to console her. She hadn't been sleeping well, or eating much at all, she spent her time locked in her room studying, or in the kitchen, baking.. Trying to perfect the raindrop cake for Jace..
She had a package in her lap containing the cake.. She had intended on giving it to him on the platform, and then let him continue his train ride without her.. But she hadnt wanted to let go of her father, long enough to look for her friend.
She sighed softly as she bit her lip and looked out the window. Maybe she could see if she could find Jace now.. She missed him, and wanted to see him badly.
What is worse than having a pair of very short legs? Jace could feel his legs start to cramp as he finally boarded the train, pretty much shoving his parents away in a hurry to catch Azura. He’d seen her board earlier, and if his papa hadn’t fussed over him profusely before getting on the train, then he would have caught up to his best friend immediately. Something was wrong, he could tell. Why were her relatives wearing black?
Ducking his head to get away from his papa’s kiss, Jace snatched the pack of wet towelettes from his mama, and ran for the train door. They have smothered him enough to last the whole term, so it was all good.
With dishevelled hair, creased clothes, and a look on his face that said T I R E D all over, Jace paced the whole stretch of the train, wondering where Azura had left off. Taking a wild turn for the front car, the second year Ravenclaw peeked through different compartment doors until he saw a lone girl...who looked as awful as him. Sliding the door open, Jace stood on the spot for a moment, and wondered what happened to his best friend. Something was definitely amiss.
“Ohayo, Azura-san.”
