Twilight Letter from Marquis - Chapter - 2

°°°°

[At the hallway]

Rowan Aldric

*Shocked* What?! A man??

Ace Loric

*Glares at Rowan*

Rowan Aldric

*Clears throat, lowers his voice* Ahem… how’d you even know it was a guy?

Ace Loric

The seal — it was from House Goldenrods. All the students there are male

Rowan Aldric

Okay, but like… you still sure it was 'him'?

Ace Loric

Not exactly Let’s go ask Groks — he’s the one who handed it to me

°°°

°°°°

[They find him (Groks)]

°°°°

Ace Loric

Who gave it to you?

Classmate

Huh? Who gave me—? Well, I don’t really kno—

Rowan Aldric

*Raising his voice* How do you not know?! He gave it to you, didn’t he?!

Classmate

*snaps back, voice rising* JUST HEAR ME OUT!!

Ace Loric

*Calm but firm* Just tell us where you got it

Classmate

Looks at Ace From House Goldenrods

Rowan Aldric

But we’re not allowed to go near it… Besides, that mansion’s massive — tall as hell So how?

Classmate

He dropped it from a window

Ace Loric

*a little surprised* Dropped it from the window? (If I knew how he looked, I could ask Zephyrion...)

Ace Loric

What did he look like?

Classmate

*Shakes head* No clue. The sun was too bright — I had to squint just to see the window, let alone his face

Rowan Aldric

*still confused* Wait, wait—so it is a guy, right?

Rowan Aldric

And from House Goldenrods? That’s the noble blood mansion. Now I’m really wondering who he is...

Classmate

No clue, man Anyway, I’m out—

Classmate

*turns to Ace with a grin and thumbs up* But hey, if you do find him, let me know too, okay?

Ace Loric

*Sighs* (This is getting out of hand...)

[After Groks walks away]

Rowan Aldric

So… there was no name on the letter? Not even a hint?

Ace Loric

*Blinks, then remembers*

Ace Loric

Oh— I forgot to mention that… There was a name Or... kind of It started with Cael–

Ace Loric

but the rest got soaked Couldn’t read it at all

Rowan Aldric

*Groans, starts counting on his fingers* Ugh, I only know two people with names like that. One’s Caelum from House Goldenrods… The other’s Caelan, also from Goldenrods

Ace Loric

*into thought* (Caelum… Caelian… which one?)

[Suddenly, the tower bell rings loudly]

°°°°

Rowan Aldric

Agh—there it is C’mon, let’s get to class first We’ll figure this out later

Ace Loric

*Nods silently and follows*
