Children of Mana, Part Thirty-Eight

{Lianna}

{December 26} 

Lianna woke up to some rather insistent knocking on the door. 

Enverna was still in her arms, sleeping away peacefully. Lianna slipped away as subtly as she could and then went to answer the door. 

"Yeah?" She asked, opening it casually. 

"I..." 

Miss Taylor was there. 

Oh, and Lianna was naked. 

As was Enverna, who then sat up on the bed, rubbing her eyes and sleepily murmuring: 

"Huh? Is it already morning?" 

Miss Taylor blinked. 

Then, calmly, she said: 

"I'll give you a moment to get ready. But," she added, "your presence is required quite urgently." 

With that, Miss Taylor reached over and closed the door herself. 

Leaving Lianna to hang her head in shame. 

"Lianna?" Enverna asked, having not processed what just happened at all. 

"Uh... It's n-nothing," Lianna fought through her blush, "let's just get out of bed."
