"Ah... Headmaster Grimm."
The older man raised one bushy eyebrow, as Raven reached up, brushing a strand of hair off her cheek before taking Mika's hand with hers. "Your Majest.. ies."He glanced at Mika, who straightened his back, pulling Raven into his side. Clearly, the man had to remember that Mika was a prince, and not a lowly knight, as he'd first been told. "It's a pleasure to see that you've returned to finish your year, Your Majesty." He turned to Raven, who held out a hand.
"It's... nice to be back, Headmaster." Raven replied, glancing at her husband. Grimm didn't miss the look; he held out her schedule and key room key with a simple,
"I understand you requested to change roommates this semester, Your Majesty, and were there a student who had no roommate, we would be able to process your request, however, we were unable to due to the fact that there is no student in need of a roommate. You will still be with Miss White-"
"And let me make it very clear, Headmaster, that if she so much as opens her mouth in regards to needing a rival or my relationship with my husband," Grimm started, but then noticed the ring on her finger as she reached for the schedule, connecting the dots. "and I will not be responsible for what my magic does to her. Do you understand?" He nodded, and she smiled softly. "Good. Now if you'll excuse me," He bowed quickly to the pair, before allowing them to make their way up the steps. It was just after five-thirty on Monday morning, and the pair stopped first at Raven's dorm to drop off her things before heading to the faculty dorms.
Once they were behind the closed door, Raven relaxed, kicking off her heels and making her way towards her husband. "That man makes me almost as nervous as the Duke of Handoreli. He has an agenda, and will do anything to get what he wants." She slid her hands up his chest, meeting his gaze.
"He doesn't matter anymore, my love. We're-"
"Back at Ever After High." She replied in annoyance, rolling her eyes. He chuckled. At the end of their visit in Palmarneae, they'd received word that the board had accepted the students' petition, and given Mika his position back at Ever After High, citing that the education of the students as a whole far outweighed the desires of one. Though the students didn't know, which meant it would be a nice surprise for them when they arrived at the track for Hero Training this morning- since the class had been canceled the week before, until Mika could return. They unpacked in silence, before Raven checked the time on her phone. "Shall we go get something to eat? The castleteria is probably close to deserted now, since most of the students are still sleeping. If we don't want to stay, we could get something and bring it back here."
"Sounds like a wonderful plan, Nevermore." He replied. Once they were finished, he took her hand, tugging her out of the dorm before slipping her hand into the crook of his arm. The walk to the castleteria was quiet, only the sounds of their footsteps on the marble floors. Eventually, they reached the castleteria, surprising the workers, who hadn't expected to see either one back at the school after the fiasco the semester before; Raven had made it very clear one afternoon, not long after Mika was dismissed from the school, that she had no desire to return the following semester, despite Mika's managing to talk Headmaster Grimm into allowing her to finish out her year.
It was with surprised looks and excited voices that the women welcomed them back, and after informing them of their marriage, they got breakfast, choosing to return to Mika's dorm instead of stay in the castleteria. The pair settled across from each other on the bed, chatting over omelets and coffee, as they had at the breakfast table over the last couple of weeks with their families. Once finished, the pair got ready for the day, Raven checking her schedule in silence.
"Advanced Witchery... Advanced Divination... again... Muse-ic... Good Kingdom Management isn't on my schedule this semester... oh, wait, there it is... two free periods and Hero Training II and III... wait, isn't Hero Training II and III two separate classes?" She looked up at him.
He thought a moment. "Normally, yes. But I think in your case, it's more just something for you to do. You don't really need either class; you're skilled as it is, but it gives you an outlet to practice."
She nodded. "So I have... two real days of classes, two days with no classes and one day with only one class. That's not too bad."
Mika joined her, reaching for the schedule, mid-buttoning of his shirt. It was common for anyone practicing with weapons to change into clothing more suited and comfortable for the exercises. Oftentimes, leggings and form-fitting tops were used, as well as boots. She handed it over before working on getting dressed herself. "So you have Hero Training II and III on Mondays and Wednesdays, and only Good Kingdom Management II on Tuesdays. Five classes, that's not bad, especially for someone who's not collecting credit." He set the schedule down on his desk, his gaze lingering on her as she tugged the silver leggings up her body, before she grabbed the matching shirt and tugged it over her head. She then released her hair from the twist and pulled it back into a high ponytail.
"Ready?" He shook his head of his desire, before meeting her gaze, and she blushed, ducking her own head quickly. "We should be able to wake them up with a little early morning sparring."
She sighed. "Just as long as you don't partner me up with any of the idiots." She grabbed her bag, slinging it over her shoulder. He pulled her close.
"Kind of hard not to, my love, when half the guys at this school-"
"Are?" She asked with a grin, and he chuckled. "Well, no matter. I'm married to the one that isn't, and that's all that matters." She kissed him then, sliding her arms around his neck as they teleported to the track.
