As darkness fell over the campus, the light of a fire beneath a tree gave away Dust's location, to anyone who might be looking in that direction for signs of someone camping out off the beaten path.
With his back against that tree, Dust munched on the remaining half of a particularly large sandwich he'd snagged from the Great Hall back when it was still where it should be, and mentally patted himself on the back for picking up that habit. The rough days of a couple months ago had left enough of an impression that he'd vowed not to go hungry again, and lo and behold, it had served him well!
Honestly, this was the most comfortable Dust had been since coming to the Magicademy. It called back to his days in Falana, camping wherever he needed to and always on the move the next day, to find whatever trouble he needed to put down or answers he needed to find. It'd be perfect, except...
Well, he hadn't spent that time alone. The lack of his friend was the one major thing that cast a shadow on an otherwise pleasant night.
