As Daja went down to breakfast she noticed the oddly cheerful
weather. She saw Tris cooking breakfast, and her eyes narrowed. What was
making her friend feel all these strong emotions all of a sudden?She walked
cautiously to the table, sitting down and asking, "Whats for breakfast?"
"What else?" Tris replied as she stirred the porridge in the pot on the
stove. Daja sighed. "I wish we could have something new and exicting every
once and a while," she mumbled, getting up to make some toast. "Well, we'll
have plenty to eat in the next three months," Rosethorn said, walking into
the room. "With the weather going the way it has we'll have a surplus of
food. Hurry up with the porridge, will you? I'm hungry," she added as she
sat at the table across from Daja. Tris grinned at the porridge, saying
sweetly, "It's almost done, your Highness."
Briar walked into the room and snorted as he plopped himself beside his teacher. "Don't go giving her any ideas," he said. Everyone laughed. "What's so funny?" Lark and Sandry asked at the smae time, coming out from Lark's room. Everyone laughed again. Sandry was glad that everyone was in a good mood, especially Tris. "Tris, I've been thinking. Would you like to meditate with Sandry and I today? We'd be glad to have you," Lark asked as the young mage laddled out spoonfuls of porridge. Tris looked up and shrugged. "Sure, I'll give it a try," she replied. When everyone had their food, she sat down and helped herself. They all ate in silence for a while, then Rosethorn asked, "I wonder whats been causing all this strange weather. Tris, you're the expert, what do you know?
Tris and Sandry looked at one another, and Tris replied cooly, "I have no idea. Probably some expirements gone wrong." Rosethorn snorted. "I'll have at him if he starts to do damage to my plants. But for now, I'm willing to let him be as long as this nice weather keeps up. Lucky for you, too, boy," Rosethorn said, avverting her attention away from Tris and onto her student. " because we'll be out there all day today and tomorrow." Evryone finished their breakfast in good spirits, then Daja left for Frostpine's and Briar and Rosethorn went outside to get started. Sandry moved over by Tris to help her finish with the chores while Lark got everything ready for their lesson today.
Sandry looked carefully at Tris while she worked, knowing ther her cheery, bouncy mood wasn't normal. She just didn't know what brought it on. "Alright, Trisana Chandler," she said finally, with her hands on her hips. "What's going on?" Tris looked at her friend, mildly annoyed. "Nothing's 'going on', Sandreline. I'm just happy. Is it so bad that I'm happy once in a while?" Sandry sighed. "Thats not what I meant. I meant why are you so happy? There has to be a reason." Her eyes narrowed. "It wouldn't have anything to do with a certain plant-mage....would it?" she asked cautiously, her voice low so others wouldn't hear, Tris stuck her tounge out at Sandry and returned to her work, not answering. Sandry laughed and helped Tris finish, knowing her answer without her having to say it.
