Stargazing.

[Sarirah Isis Mars]

Sarirah walked up the stair case to the Astronomy tower. She always felt like she could touch the stars when she was up there. She had her blanket and her pillow so she could fall asleep there if she wanted to. She opened the door with her back, not seeing if there was anyone there. She dropped her pillow and blanket on the floor and closed the door behind her. She looked around her. There was no one there that she could see. She didn't really mind anyone being there. Lucky her tower was above the lake.

She bent to her toes. Her hands had touched her feet. She brought herself back up and straightened out her pillow and her blanket. It was a beautiful night that night. It was also a beautiful day as well. She walked to the balcony on the tower and rested her arms on the stone that made sure she wouldn't fall off. She heard the door creak open. She turned and raised her wand. "Who's there? Show yourself!" She asked. There was no reply. "Show yourself." A figure moved into the moolight.

[G A Phillips]

Once a week G had taken to stealing about the castle after curfew. Although she was cautious about not getting caught she was not particularly afraid of it either so kept up with her recent habit of exploring after dark. There was something so serene and peaceful to her in the silent halls that she found herself once again drawn to tread among them. On this particular evening she was dressed in a a pair of gray sleep pants and a black T-shirt a size to big with the faded lettering "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grew." on it, her entire outfit was handed down from Garret-Connor, one of her older brothers. And although she had her wand in the single pocket in her slacks she also had a few pebbles and a well used sling shot. She doubted she would need either one but carried them out of what she thought was common sense.

Tonight her wandering had taken her up to the towers. She had heard a door open and close and had followed to investigate. She had barely entered when somebody spoke.

Who's there? Show yourself! Show yourself.

She stepped forward into the light, raising her hands and smiling a casual charming smile. "Hey hey hey, wands down. I mean you no harm." She chuckled. She dropped her hands to her side and walked over the parapet, leaned against it, and looked down at the grounds for a moment. The girl had sounded more frightened than threatening when she spoke so she did not feel threatened. She gave the girl an appraising glance and grinned again.
