THIS PRINCIAL'S OFFICE WAS BY FAR THE MOST COMFORTING AND HOSPITABLE  ALIFA HAD EVER BEEN IN .

And she hardly ever entered one. If not for academic excellence and the recognition of such.

Mr. Wentworth's joyous whistles followed her like the wind.   His ash white hair always seemed a moment away from taking flight off his head, flapping around in haphazard sections.   

His stubby body moved and prattled towards his large headmasters oak table. He sat down with a mighty oomph! and settled into the chair.


Silence washed over the pair.

Alifa Océane hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time.

And for another moment they simply stared at one another.

The clock by the window ticked and tocked away, beating against the silence agonisingly slow.

Alifa's humming had returned and even she did not recognise the tune.


 Do what you  do.


Alifa's head snapped back, her coils slapped  her cheeks due to the speed. 

There it was again!

That... prominent thing again.
