(thread for @calliope )

After the news from her uncle and the meeting with the family, Calanthe hadn't been sleeping all that well. Mostly because she didn't give herself the time for it. Between studying, working with the ambassador, feeding information to Evander and getting some lessons in return, as well as keeping up her sword skills? Calanthe was starting to see why all these adults were focusing on one thing, especially when it came to enchanting. But that wasn't stopping her from trying, there was far too much at stake in her young mind.

Today she didn't have anything slated with the ambassador, and all her lessons were done for the day. So she was heading home with plans to change and maybe do some training. Of course as soon as she made it home everything hit her like a pound of bricks all over again. She was trying to do everything, and part of that was because she didn't want to be in the empty house. And it wasn't like Cyrus was there all the time usually, but to walk home with hope everyday and find it empty? It was slightly crushing.

So she pulled out her notes instead, sitting outside in the nice Aestas weather to think about the next enchantment she would craft.
