mkr_drabblesI was skimming through the list for the 100 word prompt on the Cephiro board, when I was inspired by one of the more random ones. 43%. Of course this drabble falls into the basics of my usual story lines. You’ll know it when you see, I think.
Umi’s pen rested in the center of her paper, not moving. She should be taking notes, but she was so tired. Nao was ill and had been awake all night, and of course Clef had had to stay in Cephiro until this morning, so the water knight had had nearly no sleep. These past few weeks back to class had been so hard. She had gotten used to finishing her assignments at her own pace. Now she was back with her class mates.
A familiar shadow fell across her desk as her instructor walked past.
“I understand you have been ill, but I expected better from you.”
The water knight looked up as he set her graded exam on her desk. Turning it over, Umi grimaced. She had expected better herself.
