They'll go until Lily starts falling asleep.

Which she tries her best to push back (this is nice, and she's learning so much, and she doesn't want to find out what tomorrow holds).

Unfortunately for Lily, sleepiness does not tip the power imbalance in her favor. She's going to get carried to bed.

She's pretty sleepy by the time she loses the fight to stay awake and alert, having run down her reserves. Sleepy enough that without thinking she mumurs, softly into the Demon Queen's shoulder: "Wish you were my mom..."

...Yep, she's just going to put the girl in her bed and retreat to the door.

"No you don't, child," she murmurs, before leaving and closing the door behind her.

Maybe next time the Demon Queen should kidnap someone with higher standards.

She falls into a deep sleep, and wakes up late - if the Demon Queen doesn't wake her up first. 

Homework. Be prepared to summarize back to me what you've read. Meditation practice at the track, 3 PM.

Her eyes go a bit wide, and she stares at the books and clock uncertainly. ...And then her stomach growls.

Lily wolfs down some of the food and drink, almost reluctantly, then puts it well out of her way and dives into the books. 

They're mostly covering what was talked about yesterday in terms of fundamentals, with more details and examples and written-out calculations.

That makes reading and processing them quickly easier, and helps fix what she learned yesterday in her head. 

- Does she have a notebook?

One is available, yes.

She scribbles her thoughts as she goes, as well as notes on what look like highlights to her. Her notes are fairly disorganized, which frustrates her, but... She doesn't want to stop reading to fix them. She gets a pretty significant way through the stack that way by the time her stomach gets hungry for lunch, at which point she looks at the clock - not three yet - and gets up and stretches and drinks some room temperature water and wonders if lunch will be brought to her. 

Signs point to no, as the minutes slip past with nothing appearing.

Well, she didn't finish breakfast, and Lily is used to getting by on fairly little food. She'll polish off the water and the bread and cheese she hadn't touched, and then she'll read more - though this time with frequent glances at the clock, since she doesn't actually know the route to the track well. Once the hour ticks to two o'clock, she'll reluctantly slip a bookmark in her current book and another in her notebook, tuck both under her arm, and head out in search of the track. 

She'll probably even be there early. 

Then when she arrives, she has the room to herself still.

She'll get through as much of the rest of her book as she can before the Demon Queen arrives. 

Which is not very.

"Good, you're here already. Tell me what reading you've got through while you start warming up."

She bookmarks it and sets it and her journal aside carefully, then stands and starts stretching and talking as she does, though it's hard to focus on both at once. (The answer: that was the only book she hadn't at least finished a surface reading, though she's already skimmed for any diagrams or outlines or chapter titles so she'll know what's where in the book. This means her head's kind of full of unsorted knowledge she hasn't had a chance to really ponder or pick apart, but she can summarize it more or less decently, even if not concisely, and there's a small handful of words she only kind of understood and wasn't able to look up. Her memory of what she read seems perfect right now.)

Her questions are aimed at key concepts, highlighting the areas for further study and creating connections for Lily to follow. She also mixes in corrections on Lily's stance and motions. Learning to move and think at the same time is important for combat magic.

Her complicated emotions threaten to crack out of where they buried themselves whenever the Demon Queen gets close to her, which is... Distracting, at the least. She's mostly able to focus, though, and she's a quick study. (The strongest - or, not strongest, but closest to the surface - emotion is fear, an uneasy dread of whether she'll be hurt today. The second is a desperate need to be good and perfect and desirable. The third is a seething resentment, something like hate folded into confusion and tangled with her own self-reproach. That one's deep enough very few could see it - Lily's used to letting her resentment sink into the depths of her mind, layers and layers of old slights building on each other in the dark.)

She stays out of arm's reach. directing the girl with words alone.

She nearly gets through the lesson before losing her grip on her words and snapping, "Why are you being so nice?"

"You're no good to me broken."

'I'm not that weak' would probably count as self sabotage so Lily shouldn't say that, even though she wants to. 'You're nicer than anyone who's ever had power over me, and I'm not broken yet' would be much the same. So she just frowns a little and turns away. 

"Back to work, child."
