335 Life at the Academy (Part 1)

"Stop calling me 'little one'!" Quylla hated that moniker, it made her feel like a child.

"We're the same age and I'm even quite tall for my age." With her 1.6 meters (5'3") she was indeed tall by Mogar's standards. Because of her thin build, she seemed even taller.

"You are short compared to me." Lith shrugged. He never expected these Murderers Anonymous meetings to become a habit for the surviving members of the group.

Yet after noticing how much talking with him helped Phloria to relieve her burden, Lith became the sponsor for the three girls until they felt ready to share their demons with each other.

Friya and Phloria had recovered quickly. Maybe because the academy kept their minds busy, or maybe because after so many tears and so much grieving they had come to terms with the truth that saving both Jirni and Yurial was just a pipe dream.
