''Hey are you okay?'' Leylia asked. ''...Yea I feel fine. Just tired.'' I said and sighed. It was Wednesday the 28th of November and it had been three days since the second Sunday practise with Marseus and I was still tired. Not to mention we just had Thanksgiving. Teleportation now was rather easy at the least but did not use it to go to school or anywhere else. Unlike the glyphs, teleportation with Angel magic did not come as natural to me. I got a memory back at least, when I practised this with whom I assumed was my father. Alas his figure was vague, unlike his words so I could not describe him to Marseus. ''You have to work at the library today right?'' Erin asked. I had invited her to join us since the was threatened by the group. Leylia and the others were a bit reluctant but after me asking they decided to give Erin a chance. She now worked in the library with Waltz and me as well, only she helped every day from what I understood. ''Yea...'' I said and smiled. ''I think that if you asked your mentor that you can skip today...'' she suggested. ''I am not sure if I should... he had errands to run today right? You will be by yourself...'' I admitted. ''Well, it is better if you take this afternoon off and not collapse of exhaustion later. What if you get sick?...'' Bleys oppered. ''Okay okay... I will ask him.'' I said. Maybe they were right and that I was just being stubborn. Not to mention I felt too tired to even argue about this. I quickly finished my lunch. ''Alright. I am going to try and find Waltz.'' I said and headed to the library.

''Good afternoon [_1_], you are here early. Your work does not start for another few hours.'' Waltz said. The moment however that he looked at me a bit of concern washed over his face. ''You look exhausted...'' he said and I nodded. ''Yea... I did not really get that much sleep over the past few weeks.'' I said. It was not a lie, my schedule was full already before the magic training. That he knew about magic was one thing, if there were students behind the bookcases and I would talk about magic it would be weird. Waltz however nudged towards his office. Well office, a small space where he could in his words, retreat to if necessary. ''Just the sleep?'' he asked after we entered the room and he had closed the door and I shook my head. ''Magic training too... Marseus is a good teacher, Braydon as well. But I have nothing to replenish my magic energy with. Even if I would rest properly this was bound to happen sooner or later.'' I sighed. ''Probably.'' Waltz said and pondered. ''I will give him a call before I go. You however should head home and get some rest. It will not replenish your magic energy, or at the least minimal but you should take better care of yourself.'' he said. ''I still have lessons though...'' I protested. ''I am sure you can handle one or two C's. Remember that you attend lessons, have obligations to your family and friends, work at the café, work here, and that after you had not even been free for that long of a time. You are doing a lot. Everyone in your situation would be tired. I know you insisted on wanting to work both here and in the café but perhaps it is wise if you choose one of them.'' Waltz suggested. ''I think you are the first mentor who recommends a student who mainly gets A's and B's, to get a C.'' I said and chuckled. ''I know that what I do is a lot but I really enjoy doing everything I do.'' I said with a guilty smile. ''You do not have to decide now, just think about it. And if you can not decide let me know and we will both take a look at it. I am after all, your mentor. Will you get the bus home?'' he asked. ''Yea. I just hope I do not fall asleep and miss my stop.'' I joked. Waltz however sighed. ''Alright. This one time.'' Waltz said with a sigh. ''Huh?'' I looked at him confused. ''I will be leaving in half an hour, I will give you a ride. This ONE time.'' he said and I smiled. ''Thank you but I will be fine. I do not want to keep you.'' I said and he shook his head. ''You're not keeping me from anything. You need to get home safe.'' he said. ''I need to head into that direction anyway so get yourself a cup of tea or coffee and I will drop you off at your place.'' he said and I sighed. ''Alright, you win.'' I said and got myself some tea while waiting for Waltz to finish up.

While waiting for Waltz I was sending a message to the brothers that I would not be working at the library today and that I would go home to rest up. I was not sure when they would read this though since they were working and lunch break time was over. As we left we passed the Dean's office and without problems I could go home. Maybe it helped Waltz did most of the talking. To me, heading home for just being tired was still a bit weird.
