After meeting Sinclair - and having it go so badly - I was depressed. I'd been angry, I'd cried, I'd written a letter to father and torn it up. I'd written a letter to Sinclair and torn that up too. I needed something to do with myself, so when the Dowayne asked one of the older adepts to run an errand to Gentian, I begged to be allowed to come along. I wanted to see Kasia, whom I had been close with while she was still at Cereus, and who I managed to still see on occasion here and there on Mont Nuit. Most of our peers at Cereus were afraid of her, or her gifts, but not I; I found them fascinating.
When we got to Gentian, I bounced slightly on the balls of my feet until Melias dismissed me to find Kasia while she went about her errand. I had been here before, so I knew were my friend's room was, and so when I found it, I knocked loudly on the door, a wide smile on my face despite how depressed I had been since the party for the King and Queen.

Today I'd woken up with a good feeling. It wasn't the kind that spoke of a deep, life-changing happiness, but with the sense of hanging darkness that had surrounded almost everything of late any bit of light should have been appreciated. I could have cast my runes or asked my cards what was going to happen but I wasn't the kind of Gentian who asked questions about herself. If I was meant to know than the answer would come to me, and until then I was learning patience in waiting for it.
A loud knock at my door roused me from where I'd been sitting at my window watching the garden, and I smiled as I rose and drifted over to the door, picking up my bag of runes as I went. The face that greeted me was a familiar one and I was glad of it. Now that Camille and I were in different Houses we didn't get to see each other quite as often but I considered her a good friend and her lack of concern about me brightened my spirits. "Hello Camille. I had a feeling something good would happen today," I greeted her in distractedly cheerful tone. "And now you're here. Do you want to come in, or do you not have that much time?"

"I'd love to come in," I said, giving her a quick hug. Her room was lovely, and she always possessed such interesting things: a deck of cards with pictures that I did not understand, the bag in her hand that must surely hold something mystical, even her candles seemed to be more mysterious than mine, somehow. It was likely my overactive imagination, but I had to admit that Kasia's life seemed far more interesting.
Once inside, I drifted over to her bed and set down at the foot of it. "So, how have you been? Have you had your debut?" She was closer to hers than I was, but I wasn't sure if it was quite time yet.

Camille moved into the room with all of her usual grace that Cereus was interested in training into their adepts- not that the other Houses didn't have their own versions, but Cereus was the first House and that gave them very strong opinions on sticking to traditions. It suited them though and that was the important thing. I wouldn't have minded staying at Cereus if it weren't for the skills I'd been born with and it was still likely that being at the First House at such a young age had shaped me in ways I didn't realize. Gentian had made more of an impression but no one was ever all of anything.
"I've been good, mostly the same I think, though with everything that's happened people are nervous and that makes things more difficult," I admitted honestly as I sat down a comfortable distance from my friend, my expression still pleasant though my mind wandered between a few different things at once. "The signs don't seem right for me to have my debut yet but I haven't really asked either. If I really wanted to know I could ask my cards but I know it will happen anyway and somehow trying to scry on it seems unfair to whoever could be bidding. I'm a little excited to see what will happen though. How far away is yours now?"
