Sunday morning... the first day of April. Lyndra had gotten up early and rushed down to get several copies of the Oracle. Breakfast was made and she loaded up the Headmaster's favorite breakfast foods, plus a copy of the oracle, onto a tray and took him his breakfast instead.
She'd gotten used to some of his routines and Sunday mornings she pretty much knew. It was easier to notice his movements and rarely did he ever come from the office on a Sunday morning. He was either still in his private quarters or up working on some project in his lab.
Taking a chance on his private quarters, she came to his door. Listening for a moment revealed that there was movement inside, footsteps moving around across the room.
A moment was spared for the nasty little cut above her right eyebrow, that delicate one that would often lift in such an attractive manner. It was only about a half inch long but the cut was deep. After nearly a day, it had finally stopped bleeding and formed a scab.
She knocked gently on the door.
"Headmaster Briarius? Are ye in there?"
