There's a total lunar eclipse two weeks later, the first one since January 2001. That semiquarter and most of the next pass without much more noise. Jackson is occasionally sad because of his dom's electric toy, and he's occasionally more stripey than he wishes to be, but there's not a whole lot Sadde can do about that. Against his hopes, Mason doesn't dump Jackson, and nothing gives.

Sadde continues socializing with people, but no one new. And as the semiquarter approaches its end and summer break gets closer, Sadde receives an email from Tobias, saying that he fully expects his daughter to come home and tell everyone all about her first half year at magic school.

The email tells Sadde to behave.

Sadde is not in a good place.

Total: 202

"Yyyyep, there's a terrifying thought, no more thwacking."

eclipsi

"I mean, I'd have to put a time limit on it. No more thwacking for a week. Otherwise the threat loses all power the first time you slip."

switch_between

"Of course. Wouldn't want to eventually run out of things to threaten me with, otherwise I might," he smirks a bit, "be bad."

eclipsi

"And that would be terrible and make me insecure in my aura of unquestionable command."

switch_between

He giggles. "I'm not sure that's actually possible."

eclipsi

"Me being insecure?"

switch_between

"Yup."

eclipsi

"But I'm very realistic! If I issue a command and my lovely does not obey me how can I justify believing my orders unquestionable?"

switch_between

"It follows then that that event is impossible, Q.E.D."

eclipsi

"So it hardly matters 'or else what', then, the only way the consequence ever comes into play is if it's a reward."

switch_between

"Prrretty much."

eclipsi

"Good boy."

switch_between

"Hence my preference for 'and then.'"

eclipsi

"Very clever of you."

switch_between

"I know. It's why you love me," he says, smugly.

eclipsi

"It's true." Peck.

And eventually they have to go to class.

switch_between

Well, she does, he has work and his first class is only in two hours, but then yep.

eclipsi

And then they have lunch!

So does Jackson, who, for Jackson, looks almost perky.

switch_between

Uh. Really?

"May I go have lunch with him?" he says, indicating Jackson with his head. Not that she ever forbade him from doing it but, you know.

eclipsi

"You may do that after you bring me a samosa," says Isabella, watching as the lunch ladies replace the empty tray.

switch_between

"Yes, ma'am."

So he goes and does that.

eclipsi

And she kisses him and bites her samosa and waves him along.

switch_between

"Love you!"

Along he goes. "Hey, Jackson."

"Hi. Have a good break?"
