In this room are two women, one gray and sixty years old, one just thirty and red-haired, both wearing elaborate outfits. The younger casts a spell.
In this room is now also a third person. (On whom the elder woman promptly also casts a spell, which she had at the ready.)
Matilda in Elcenia

Purple Light unpins a pin from her hat and pricks her finger.

Matilda makes blue sparks over Purple Light's head. Purple Light's finger is unpricked.
There is scattered and then more enthusiastic applause.
"So I can learn to do that?" asks Annei.
missnicegirl
"I think so! I don't know exactly how to teach you, but I hope I can do it."
Annei nods.
"We'll get back to you when we have a schedule worked out," Terali says to Annei. "We won't keep you up at night or anything, but don't make any commitments you can't break during daylight hours."
Annei nods.

Matilda nods too.
"How long should I be levitating everyone for before we give up?"

"I'm not sure. Is it hard? Do you need a break?" asks Terali. "How long did you fly Lavender before she could do it herself?"
missnicegirl
"It's not very hard at all. I only flew Lavender for a minute, not even as long as I was levitating everyone before Annei caught it."
"Well, let's give it another ten degrees, how about."
missnicegirl
"Okay. I can try to teach Annei things in the meantime, I guess. And figure out a schedule."
Terali has a copy of Matilda's current schedule in her pocket. And a graphite stick.

Matilda consults with Annei to develop a new version that exchanges language lessons with Fena for ialdae lessons with Annei.
Annei confirms times. "Do you think meditating would help with concentration to float or whatever?"
Annei kneels on the floor and closes her eyes and breathes in a regular pattern.
After about three degrees, Annei, still kneeling, rises slowly towards the ceiling.
Annei doesn't seem to have noticed. Terali watches her as she goes up and up and up.
Annei opens her eyes, yelps, and falls.

She only falls about a foot before Matilda catches her.
"Careful! Try it again paying more attention, maybe?"
