Even though I was eager to learn control my powers before, I kinda enjoyed the freedom I gained from the block. I notified Ms. Do'or beforehand about it and wanted to cancel this holiday, but she told me to come anyway. Do I want my powers to get fixed though? Placing the glass on the table, I looked Ms. Do'or directly into her eyes, which for some reason always calms me down, and explained what happened in more details. If feels nice to talk about it without feeling embarrassed or thinking that they will judge me.
Since we can't do much right now, Ms. Do'or told me to just take it easy for today after we talked about the block. I am free to roam around the house or if I want to go out, she gave me a spare key. I am not really in a mood to walk in that freezer outside so I cooped up in the cozy living room with books I borrowed from the study. I took some books about basic magic rules, but majority of my stack are Noion books.
My body feels like a feather and all I hear is the shuffling of someone around, then a blanket being placed on me. Lazily opening my eyes and sitting up on the couch, I focus on my surroundings and got greeted with Ms. Do'or round blue orbs. She gave me a soft smile and told me something but I am still half asleep so my brain didn't register what she said. I rubbed my eyes and then fully sat on the couch, making a book slide from my lap and drop on the ground with a thud. The light in the room is dimmed and it's getting darker outside. I must have fallen asleep even though I don't know when, but this nap felt great. The recurring dream about blue light didn't bother me today and I feel rested. It's not that late since there is still some light outside so I adjusted the stack on the table, picked up the book and tried to find where I stopped reading it. Ms. Do'or told me to take a break but without the books, I would just be bored. I was going to continue but then my stomach let out a loud growl which made me embarrassed and Ms. Do'or giggle. I agreed to go eat something and continue after.
We talked about the power block yesterday but Ms. Do'or doesn't want me to stress about it immediately. She told me to enjoy this time freely since we don't have to study or be stuck at the academy grounds. Besides reading, I don't have any other hobbies, so I got a good haul of new books to entertain me, but took breaks and chatted with my friends. The whole chat is spammed with pictures sent by Skylar. We barely left the academy and she is already god knows where. Instead of going back to her family, she decided to spend her holidays with Nathan. Skylar always yapped about being a free spirit and wanting to travel her whole life and hating to be stuck in one place. I double-tapped on the pictures of her ice skating and went back to reading a legend book about Viysus.
Finishing the book, I made a few notes so that I can compare them later with what I know about Viysus or Noion and decided to grab something to eat. Ms. Do'or is busy studying the copy of Oratris data from my exam but she still cooked for me and left the food neatly packed in the fridge. Home made food tastes different and I took my time eating it. My eyes hurt from reading, so after eating, I decided to take a break from the books, but I am pretty much bored. To occupy myself, I took a small tour around the house and ended up cleaning for a little bit. Nothing grand, just dishes or organize the bookshelves in the study.
A few days went by and we still haven't done any proper training. Ms. Do'or hasn't revealed her thoughts about the Oratris results either and now she is busy with an investigation. Can't say that I am not enjoying myself but it is getting a little bit boring and I hate to be just sitting around doing nothing. Luckily for me, Reilly is free from whatever her mom is making her do and we made shopping plans. I don't really need some fancy new jewelry but Reilly said that we have to do this one because it concerns school.
Ms. Do'or hasn't returned from her work yet but I didn't want to worry her by just disappearing, so I wrote her a small note about where I am going and left it on the fridge. Not knowing this part of town, it was hard for me to get to the meeting spot but Reilly navigated me through messages and I successfully arrived without getting lost. Reilly took the reins and dragged me into this department store. She wanted to eat first but I told her that I had breakfast already. She pouted but since she didn't want me to just sit and watch her eat, she grabbed a few snacks from the stalls and munched on the way into a small jewelry store on the highest floor of the store.
