The end of the first day back in classes - that description used loosely - found Nem heading up to the battlements on the sixth floor. It had not been their intended destination at first, really they'd just meant to wander so as to stay on the move until five o'clock, but on one of the staircases they'd happened to pass little Titan Flamsteed, so it made perfect sense that they'd ended up here instead.
Finding the battlements empty, Nem nevertheless did a quick circuit of the area, before looping back and hopping up to sit, as they often tended to do, atop one of the stone merlons. At this point in the afternoon, it was still a couple of hours out from sunset, so the grounds were still clearly visible from up here.
Nem made to check their watch, but had barely tilted their wrist before remembering. Didn't matter, they knew the September sky well enough up here. Instead they sat and silently watched over the grounds like a problematic gargoyle, rotating their ankles so their feet, dangling over the edge, conducted concentric circles at the empty space below.
