Description: Professor Dovey and Lady Lesso look like they do in the film (no clothing visuals)
~~~
Clarissa wanders through the castle darker than her own, in search of her colleague. "Manley." she calls with a slight hint of desperation. The man looks to her. "What are ye doing here? This ain't your school." he tells. Clarissa continues to approach the eyesore. "Do you happen to know where Lady Lesso is?" she questions. Manley, confusion on his face, nods. "She's in her quarters." he answers. Clarissa smiles. "Thank you."
With an answer in her head, Clarissa weaves through the maze of a castle, to Leonora's room. She turns, walking down a hallway which is known as the teachers section, the sound of her heels echoing off the floor and walls. "Leonora, are you in there?" she question as she knocks gently on the dean's door. A moment passes, then another. Nothing.
Just as Clarissa is about to leave, the sound of a door unlocking catches her attention. Leonora's door opens. Clarissa's eyes instantly lock on Leonora who is slouched over her desk, with what looks like a magnifying glass. "Clarissa, hello. Oh, please do come in." Leonora speaks. Clarissa hesitates before doing as her colleague said. The door shuts behind her, locking once again.
"What have you been doing, Leonora? I haven't seen you in days." she voices. Leonora waves Clarissa over, still looking through the magnifying glass. "Come, look." Leonora tells. Clarissa wanders over, somewhat intrigued. "I found a Actias luna, more commonly knows as 'Luna moth'." Leonora explains, her voice suddenly quiet. She straightens her posture slightly as she shifts for Clarissa.
Clarissa leans over the magnifying glass, looking at the specimen underneath. "The lime green colour is my favourite thing about them." Leonora says. Clarissa's eyes widen. "It's giant." she says, her voice full of surprise. "Indeed. This one has a wingspan of approximately four point two inches." Leonora tells. Clarissa moves back, looking at her colleague. Leonora's lips are pulled into a smile. "Fascinating, isn't it?" she says. Clarissa nods with a smile of her own.
"I didn't realize stuff like this interested you." she tells. Leonora chuckles, placing the magnifying glass gently on the desk. "Give me two seconds." she whispers. Clarissa nods, watching Leonora walk towards another desk. She opens a drawer, pulling out a journal. Carrying it towards Clarissa, she carefully flicks through pages.
"This is my moth scrapbook." she tells. "You don't have actual moths in there, do you?" Clarissa asks, skeptical. Leonora chuckles as she shakes her head. "No, of course not. I do, however, have sketches of them." she replies. Clarissa sighs as Leonora stops on a specific page. "This is my favourite type of moth." Leonora tells. She bites her lip as if she's containing excitement. Clarissa studies the page before reading aloud; "Giant Leopard Moth."
Leonora nods, happily. Clarissa looks up at her, a smile of her own forming at the sight of Leonora's. "What's your favourite thing about it?" she asks. Leonora points out a few details of the moth, going above and beyond to explain the pattern on the wings.
The pair continue to chat about moths, or Leonora talks and Clarissa listens.
"Leonora?" Clarissa interrupt. "Hm?" Leonora replies, suddenly snapped from her trance. "When was the last time you got fresh air?" Clarissa questions, noticing every window in the room is closed despite the stunning weather outside. "I had the windows open earlier." Leonora replies, walking back to place the scrapbook in its drawer. "Okay, but when was the last time you took a walk outside?" Clarissa questions. Leonora doesn't respond. "Why don't we take a walk while the weather is nice? I'm sure you could do with a break."
Leonora, once again, doesn't reply. Clarissa sighs as she walks over to her colleague. She reaches for Leonora's hand, taking it in her own. "Come on, lets go. You can continue this after you take a moment to chill out."
