She feels the blood drain from her face as she notes his reaction anxiously. ~ Why is he so quiet?... Why is he avoiding my gaze?... Can it be?... Can he have been toying with me?... How am I going to face my teachers?!... They warned me so... ~
~ With a sob, she turns and dashes away as fast as her legs can carry her. ~ "Isabeau!" ~ This time, her familiar obediently follows her without hesitation as she scoops up the blades which she had released earlier. ~ Mistress and familiar reach the portal. ~ May I never see his face again... ever...~
~ In a split second, they have disappeared from the palace.~
