Lex was pretty use to finding her tree by now, she had to be, she'd been visiting it for a while now. At the base of the tree sat her stripped gandr. The Professor really needed to appreciate how diligent she was being with this thing. Every day for an entire moon cycle? It was a wonder she hadn't simply forgotten about it like she forgot Jeffery...only gandrs didn't die...nah...they couldn't.

Mo was being a good sport about all this too, not complaining about having to walk down here with her every day. Or maybe he liked the company too? Whatever the case, when all this was over she would need a few shoulder pats from the Professor. It'd be the least he could after making her go through all this.

Of course she was using that penknife the Professor had mentioned when she asked about smoothing her rune in class. It seemed legit enough and she didn't actually know a spell that would do it. He wouldn't mind that she borrowed it so long as she got the work done and had a prettiful rune to show him at the end of all this.

"You ever thought maybe we should have asked permission to borrow this thing?" She asked while busily smoothing away at the surface. Had to get it looking nice without taking off too much of it.

Just a curious thought while they worked.
