(Yeah. And true, I wouldn't down her on it for the world. She's far to sweet and amazing.)

Soon she looked up at him and gave a real smile, eyes starting to trust again.

True. Oh so true. So maybe it was good that he wouldn't see his reflection.

(What subject(s) did she teach?)

He offered a small one in return

Yeah. Because if he got any more red Puck would probably laugh at him

(She was my second grade teacher, so everything? This was during writing though, when we learned about camma's and things like that.)

That made her relax a bit, little shoulders less tense. She leaned her head against his side, purring a soft snow like sound now. Shade clearly was over joyed that his sister was feeling a bit better now.

And then he'd cry.

(Oh! Okay. I really liked my second-grade teacher, too. She moved away from here a while ago, though.)

Ash leaned his head back against the tree, closing his eyes

Which would make Puck feel so, so bad and do everything he could to make Jason feel better

(I haven't seen mine for a few years now. I miss her.)

Fatespeaker wanted a hug, but didn't bother him. She snuggled against his side still anyway, hoping he wouldn't try to go off somewhere and tell her she couldn't come with again.

The hybrid would only say it was fine, when it really wouldn't be.

(I really miss mine, too. But back when school wasn't online, I could still visit some of my elementary teachers, as the elementary, middle, and high school are all one building)

He hadn't really expected to see the two again, and so he kind of had to change the plans in his head to defeat the false king

Puck would call him out for lying

Oh, second and third was one campus that was from mini babies to heckin' teens. Fourth and fifth was at a middle school and my jr high now is at a fifth to eighth campus.)

Well they could at least help, and at least they hadn't been broken through their whole scary adventure. Shade seemed in bliss to see Ash again and Fatespeaker was warming up again to him, although slower than the first time.

And then he'd feel like the worst person ever.

(...Wow. So you don't have time to go see your teacher.)

He had threatened to kill her, so...he didn't blame her. And they could definitely be useful, especially if he didn't make it all the way through the Iron Realm again

So let's just be glad that Jason didn't look at himself in the mirror.

(Nope. Q.O)

Well this time Jason knew he could help with flowers! Sounds simple but one helped Puck so *shrugs* maybe the counter part version that Jason could make would work for Ash.

Yes. Very glad. Just as Jason was more than glad in his present situation.

(That's really sad...I'm sorry. I don't understand the struggle, so I can't empathize with you on this one T-T)

Maybe! It was very possible. And there was only one way to find out for sure.

As was Puck. He was a little more than happy
