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.

Ooh! Little smile! That's good! "I usually like to jog or run around town when I do that, you cool with that or do you prefer something else?"
Jackson indeed comes along the following morning, although it seems like this might have to do with not being able to come up with a good excuse on the spot.

Sadde'll take what he can get. He has also read that exercise helps with depression ssooooo there's an ulterior motive here but he's not gonna tell Jackson that.
Jogging!

That's alright, they're doing pretty light exercise and Sadde himself is in fairly good shape (with maybe some magical help, but he's not above cheating) so doesn't really get dehydrated enough that he needs the water, and it'll be there when Jackson asks for it again.
