The Gym, Wednesday Morning

[seeks_truth]

Cassandra had been combing through books on magic and the island itself for days. No solution had presented itself, and it was starting to get on her nerves. So she had decided to pick up her training again so at least she wouldn't be falling behind while she was trapped here.

It was the first time she had realized that her current compliment of clothing - her armor, her linen underclothes and her underwear - were not sufficient if she were to be staying here for longer than a few days. She had left her armor in the room. Out of sheer practicality, upon reaching the gym, she had also stripped off her undershirt. It was not ideal, if simply because it left all but her bust uncovered, but it would have to do.

She strode past the strange machines the use of which she could not divine, and paused only when she reached the dumbbells. Strength training, first. Then she would put her armor back on and go to the salle to practice her swordfighting.

But for now, she would be lifting weights, putting good strain on her muscles. It was the first thing in days that had her feeling she was doing anything productive; it put her in a good mood.

Third Floor Common Room, Wednesday Afternoon

[princessarcasm]

Since a certain class had wound up being messier than Amy had anticipated, she was left with wet hair in the middle of the afternoon due to the need for a spontaneous midday shower. So no, this Texan wouldn't be going back outside in the cold today.

Instead, Amy claimed a spot on the common room couch and started to flip through the documentaries playing on TV. There was something about the real-life personal drama of fiction novelists, so she stalled on that for a while. She almost tried to Skype Karma in so they could watch together, but then she remembered that her best friend had school all day, instead of just for an hour here and there.

Well... fine. Amy could watch a documentary by herself. She didn't need her best friend/ex-girlfriend/unsecret crush to join her for it to be fun and interesting, right? ...Right?
