"If we can find out how the Faeries came back to the world, it's possible we could--"

"Shhh!" Tsuba cut her off with a hand over her mouth. He had sprinted down the row to silence her.

It was almost funny to look at. Tsuba had a light complexion, large brown eyes, blonde hair and the slim muscle of a swimmer. He was also more than half a foot shorter than the girl he was trying to silence. Not very impressive.

"For someone who studies Them so much, you're pretty dumb about this stuff! You never -NEVER- call them," he whispered the last word. "Faeries."

Mullein pulled his hand away from her mouth waving her free hand in an embarrassed dismissal, "I know, I just, forget, sometimes."

"Let's just get out of here." Tsuba flashed her one of his normal smiles and flourished it with a conspiratorial wink.
