William woke up in his own bed, which felt more normal than the morning before. Kai was actually in the room for once, sitting at his desk with a book open in front of him.
"Morning," William said while getting out of bed.
"Morning," Kai replied without looking up from his book.
William got ready for the day, pulling on clean clothes and gathering his things. He was about to head out when Kai closed his book and stood up.
"I don't have anything today," Kai said casually. "Mind if I follow you around?"
William paused, surprised. Kai barely left the room most days, and now he wanted to tag along?
"Uh, sure?" William said. "I'm just getting breakfast and then probably heading to the library. Nothing interesting."
"That's fine," Kai said, grabbing his coat.
They left the dormitory together and headed toward the dining hall. The morning air was cool and the campus was just starting to wake up. A few students were scattered around, heading to early training or classes.
