She could...imagine...she was flying through the air. Feel the wind, the world at her command. Wait, wait, wait...no...no, that was from a musical.

Mamie couldn't imagine anything. She did a little half-skip, then remembered she wasn't supposed to be having any fun, so she went back to just basic walking. One foot in front of the other. Head down. At least it was almost spring.

Even if Nem did not have the benefit of the rest of the Inquisitorial Squad on their side, available to deliver swift justice to any have-a-go-hero who tried to take them on, they likely still would have been just as carefree in making their way around the castle as they were now, school full of enemies or not. Maybe it was the knowledge that they could handle themselves, maybe it was the arrogance of believing they were more capable than anyone who would try them, and maybe it was that they simply did not recognise the danger, or considered it worth their attention. Or just all of the above.

Having the freedom to roam the castle and the grounds, Nem had been making productive use of their ample free time. There was plenty to focus that time on (and more than enough motivation to do so, though they had completely lost it for a while), including, but not limited to, practicing the branches of magic that the Big Man had introduced them to almost two years ago now.

Rather than walking to or from anywhere at the moment, however, Nem was just standing, staring out at the horizon at the surrounding mountains. They heard the approaching footsteps, but looked around only when they came close.

Nem said nothing, not right away at least - no reason to. They just quietly kept an eye out.
