That it'd come by like any other end of the term feast. That he'd be looking forward to the abundance of food. That he'd chat and be desperate to board the train to King's Cross. But, nothing. He didn't want to leave, yet he was ready to explore the world outside this castle. Most of all, he didn't want to leave the people here. Sure, it wasn't a complete goodbye to most of them, but...it just felt strange.

He wasn't ready to leave.

All those thoughts of how it would feel to leave were out the window and lost in the breeze. He didn't know what to feel.

So, with a stoic expression on his face, Kennedy walked closer to the snake's table. This would be his last time sitting here. His eyes, finally moving, raked the table and found Sierra...with Healer Tillstorm. This brought memories of the last end of the term feast...also at how he had been shoo'ed away. But he wanted to sit next to his girlfriend...and he was going to. He flopped himself on Sierra's other side, respecting her and the Healer's space, though, and sending the older woman a greeting nod and Sierra a smile...and now he waits.

Sometimes, it wasn't fun being polite, but he was taught better than to not do so. Sigh.


Sierra suddenly became aware that somebody had moved to sit on other side of her. While she waited for the Healer to reply to what she'd said, she turned and saw that Kennedy had joined them. Kennedy. He was graduating, wasn't he? Somewhere in all the chaos of yet another year coming to an end, she'd tried to put that thought in the back of her mind. It was here now, though, and there wasn't anything she could do to make it go away.

She was proud of him, sure, but she just wished he was somehow a sixth year, and they'd have one more year together at the school. "Kennedy," she said, and she gave him a genuine smile and literally engulfed him in a hug. Pulling away, she reached forward and grabbed both his hands. "There's so many things I want to tell you right now. Mainly that I'm so proud of you. That big, bad adult world is just around the corner for you, and you're going to ace it," she said. "Graduation." She couldn't believe it. "Congratulations, Kennedy."

There were so many other things she wanted to say, but she didn't want to spit them all out at once.
