Sadde knocks on Isabella's door at 7PM sharp.
Sadde and Isabella in Eclipse

"Mm. Okay." Scritch. "Alex has been relentlessly teasing me about you. You're likely to be caught in the crossfire when he visits."

"I thought you might benefit from the warning anyway. He may also make some token attempt to determine if you're good enough for me or something."

"From our interactions so far, I'd expect you to be able to determine this to your satisfaction, so I'd assume this is more for his own peace of mind, which gives me a model of your relationship that's really cute."
eclipsi
"Well, that's why I said 'token', he doesn't really think I can't tell. He just might want more directly available evidence than my say-so."

"The weekend between semiquarters. Spends all day on a train to do it. He's a good brother."

Good. Because Sadde is so soft and pettable.
The cactus museum is three bus stops away. They have time to chat more. "How come you wound up coming between semiquarter breaks? Usually people only do that when they're straight out of training."

Okay... how is Sadde going to say this... She suspects just saying "I had to convince my father" won't go over as easily with Isabella as it did with Jackson, but she doesn't really have any other excuses ready. She's clearly eager about magic, it wouldn't be very in character to say she didn't want to and changed her mind, plus she really hates lying...
"I had to convince my father to let me come," she decides at the end. "He has certain reservations about magic and magic school."

"But he didn't make you get lo- If you don't want to talk about this you can just say that."

"Yeah, I actually saw one before dinner yesterday, me and Alex sometimes find movies that have the same start time in each town and sync up. It was that one about mages in space? The special effects were really good. Alex kept complaining about the romance."
