Welcome Home!

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizeable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days.

"Onyx," Will whispered. "You're mother henning again. Take a deep breath and try to enjoy yourself."

"Yes, ma'am," Onyx says, taking a deep breath and faking a very awkward looking smile.

This lasts for all of ten seconds before she idly adjusts one of the place settings.

Oka grabbed a can of soda casually. It would have been casual if h'ed managed to actually hold it. Instead he dropped it once. Tried again and dropped it. Before the third time he took off his glove revealing that nothing was there. Tendrils of darkness reached out of the cuff and wrapped around the can of soda.

"At least it's cloudy today..."

"Yeah...drinks, then pizza. Maybe we WILL get some new hot guy our age...and hopefully he won't fall in love with another girl like the last one," she grumbled.

"Thank you!" she said, turning to Aisha. "I'd compliment you on yours, buuutt...."

"Well, I kind of got off early," Nina says, looking guilty, "Not everyday your friends turn out to be alive."

"I mean, I guess it is every day they turn out to be alive. But not usually when you thought they were dead."
