If she found Lottie that'd have been a plus but if not then it would only be two to this carriage, no questions asked, no guests allowed.
Lex flopped down in an empty one, knowing it wouldn't start moving just yet. Felix took the spot across from her, saving it while she kicked her feet up. Soon they'd be back at the castle. Food then sleep. That sounded like the best combination ever.
First there'd be that speech thing. More depressing news about the broke castle and filthy rooms. Quite expected, so she wouldn't even grumble when the time came.
After five minutes of sitting there she got impatient Big surprize there. After another ten she was ready to send a search party for the snake. Seriously. Where was she??
Best friends help each other out. Best friends do tiring stuff for each other knowing they'd be repaid and appreciated. Best friends---
this WAS so exhausting OKAY?!
Dragging TWO trunks plus clutching her owl's cage wasn't an easy thing to do! Not. At. All. When they were about to get off the train and Lex asked Cassia to get both of the trunks, the snake didn't even think about it and agreed. How could one forget the size of the trunks? HMM? Though, Lex was kinda looking not like she always did. So Cassia was too focused on that to think of how on Earth she'd get to the carriage at this pace.
There were no more gentlemen who saw a young lady trudging with two trunks and a cage. She was very close to abandon the cage, you know. Except people kept telling her she left a bloody cage behind! Well, someone bloody help her THEN! Nope. N O O N E. She was on her own.
Her only thought was that she'd be too late and the carriages would take off leaving her here. Maybe she should have asked Scuyler about that cardbox. She might need it this night.
Luckily, no such thing was needed. She..finally. …saw…the …carriages.
Non-gracefully, Cassia dumped the trunks onto the station and chucked the caged owl above them. Yeah, hoot, whatever!
Then she climbed the carriage and plopped down on the seat opposite the lioness, took a couple of minutes to PANT and fill up her lungs again. Maybe she'd start feeling her arms again? That'd be a cool thing. And she was too tired to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead. But then, she remembered.
Since she and Lex didn't come across each other on the train, that meant the fourth-year was with someone
else. She needed up dates.
"
So, had a nice ride?" But now Lex would answer with 'yes' or 'no'.
"
Please start from the second your foot was on the train to the second it was off it." She was all ears.
